thxs for waiting - and for the funny comments, I enjoyed it, especially as this piece is not for me so I had to have some fun




This is the first of two, the other one (logically the black dial) will arrive in a few months. Both are not for me but for my two sons; they will receive them when they have finished university starting their first job so they can concentrate on working instead of chasing a steel Daytona. Both are totally unaware of this and I am glad they are not on WPS currently. Until then the watches will be stored unworn in the safe as I am more than happy with my racing dial white gold daytona and not tempted at all smile

Have a merry christmas!

actually one of them tends to dark dials, the other to lighter ones

What has this world come to? I mean, it doesn’t even have a double-signed dial or a color in between blue and green πŸ˜œπŸ˜‰πŸ€£. J/k: I’m sure that both your sons will cherish these timepieces for a lifetime. Twins, or just close in age? Well done, β€œDad” πŸ’ͺ🏿

close in age, no twins - but both into watches. For high school graduation they received a Nomos club campus with engraving

You, sir, have achieved the horological equivalent of Nirvana. And a perfect entry watch too! πŸ‘ŒπŸΏ
