A dream finally realised

Aug 16, 2021,10:58 AM
 

The Rolex Daytona 116500LN has been a watch which I have dreamed to own since it was announced in March 2016.

After chasing it for more than 5 years, I have almost given up on this dream.

Therefore I am pleasantly surprised to receive the phone call from my AD over the weekend asking me whether I am free to go down to collect the watch. The feeling is indescribable as I didn’t expect this day will come after so long, to be able to add this dream watch to my collection. It also happened to be my 12th year wedding anniversary yesterday so it is double the happiness for me.

P.S. The small orange box is my wife’s surprise anniversary gift for me.

Yes the LV gift is definitely not bad too and it’s special to me since it’s a gift from the wife.

Best looking chrono

Often overlooked, the thickness or thinness of the daytona is an underappreciated strong point. I believe the Zenith chronomaster sport is thicker than this. The daytona has elegant proportions.

Thanks very much

I was surprised at how 'stealthy' it is...

...it wears quite small I think...a great daily beater.

Yes it does wears smaller and slimmer than I expected

 
 By: singingbee : August 17th, 2021-06:02
Very comfortable on the wrist and dare I say perfect daily wear.

Thanks so much!

Congrats Aaron, beautiful piece! Broke down this past week and bough one on grey market. Love it.

Figured I had a better chance of getting struck my lightening than get one at retail.

Thanks for the well wishes

 
 By: singingbee : August 17th, 2021-23:59
And congrats to you too!
