The white dial Daytona is killing me. I’ve ordered the white one and received one year later the black. Barely wear it waiting for the white. Congratulations for the pictures.

Xenvo Pro Lens kit for $39.99, comes with a 0.45x wide angle lens and a 15x macro lens, integration. Build quality is quite good for the price. Black one is nice too. I turned down 3 black ones waiting for the white, took a little over a year and got it Aug 2017. Now I ask my AD to try get me a black one 😂. Hope you have fun with macros soon.
