    Dang it what a beautiful piece, the Rolex Daytona in steel with ceramic set in white dial.

    What a beauty.

    I asked my dealer yesterday how difficult would it be to source for me (since I am one of their clients). His response was "unfortunately even for you it would be very difficult."

    I have idea.

    But it merges your audio budget with your watch budget...

    Hard pill to swallow.

    I kinda mentioned it to the wife yesterday in passing...

    She was like "why did Art (dealer salesman) say it would be difficult for you to buy the ceramic Daytona?"

    I said l, "because it goes to clients who spent more first..."

    She says, "Good. I'm glad you can't get one then."

    So... of all things to take a pic of, mind you, during your honeymoon. You managed to take time out and posed ( who know how many times ), to take a pic of a watch? During your honeymoon? Lolol. Legit funny.

    Since it was during your honeymoon, I am not sure if you were timing yourself Tarzan... You know, fist pounding to chest, but the seconds hand...ticks a little fast.

    Yep. It takes like a second to take a pic. What did you expect? I post pics of my honeymoon on a watch thread? I took like a hundred pics of things other than my watch. Next time, before I take a pic of something, I'll make sure to run it by you.

    Though on a more serious note, I recall exactly what was going on with this pic. The time was 7:59pm, we had reservations at the restaurant at 8pm, I was waiting for my wife to get ready.

    Anybody that uses the word "rocking" in place of "wearing" seriously needs to consider their right to exist.

    "Keep on wearing in the free world" doesn't have the same kind of chutzpah to it.

    Also, I knew Dave Mustaine back when he was still in Metallica and he was not a good person, therefore I find your username objectionable. :D
