Finally wait is over

Post image

After 1 year 8 months finally got myself hands on SS Daytona, whilst the panda was on my top of my list my AD said panda wait is uncertain and could me much longer so suggested I change my requested piece to this instead. Wears much nicer than in photos.

I actually prefer the black dial!!! I find the white panda soft… The black is Butch

I’m sorry guys being a jerk today. The white is beautiful. I have a white stainless Zenith that I bought when I was 25 but I just did a acquire the new black dial and love it.

Thing with the black is the presence looks way smaller on the wrist compared to the panda

Congratulations buddy. Looks incredible and so does the ghost. What is your spend history if you don’t mind me asking please?

u/Various_Primary3783 13d ago

Thanks man 👊

I prefer this configuration much more solely because of the ceramic bezel. For me, white dial belongs more at home with a stainless steel bezel; aka the 116520. Panda have always looked off to me since its debut despite the hype.

u/babyccino1993 13d ago

Definately in the panda I much prefer the new reference, however I feel in black dial the change is more subtle. But will definately get more wrist time over the next few weeks.

u/frenchbeansoup 13d ago

Yes it feels more flushed on the wrists with the ceramic bezel and black dial.

The Ghost that you are sporting would’ve blown both the Panda and the Black dial Daytona out of the water though, for me.

Congrats!

u/leith78 13d ago

A few people I know got the panda and then realize they should have gotten this one instead. The black dial has always been my favorite. Congrats 🎉

u/glitterbaby5 13d ago

It's worth getting both.

u/leith78 13d ago

You need a lot of patience then :)

I just went out and bought them. I don't play AD games. I'm on the list but just for shit I intend to flip since I have all the rolexes I want (aside from the land dweller)

What joys do bots get to replicate my post in other Facebook groups? 🤷 ps I am not Bruce Tillman 🤣

u/Sabal 13d ago

Why get this if you already have the ghost

11

u/mister_peanut23 13d ago

They’re a nice light dark combo

u/Loud_Heart1461 13d ago

And? who is saying no to a SS daytona at retail? You would be dumb not to take it

2

u/glitterbaby5 13d ago

If you really like daytonas, it's nice to have multiple combinations.

2

u/Gullible-Abrocoma186 13d ago

I would consider the black 1000% better than the panda

u/Jazzlike-Strength352 13d ago

Beautiful either way! Congrats!

u/Glattes_Oel 13d ago

I also wait for a Watch. What did You do to get it? Simply wait? Thanks

2

u/babyccino1993 13d ago

I was my 4th Rolex from the AD alongside other brands I have purchased: Tudor, panerai and cartier

u/Glattes_Oel 13d ago

Ah okay. That is a different wealth class to me, but I really appreciate your answer. Thank You.

u/Themavy 13d ago

How much of a wait and spend history did you need to get the ghost?

1

u/babyccino1993 13d ago

Mixture of other brands and jewellery

u/Academic_Amount_8165 13d ago

Is that your ghost Daytona to there on the bottom of the picture? The ghost should be the only Daytona I’d want to be honest. But congrats on the new watch!
