I can die a happy man now.  My grail watch has always been the Rolex 18K/SS Daytona.  There is just something about it.  Maybe it's the dial, maybe it's the bezel, maybe it's the history, the cool pushers, the size, the heft, maybe it's just all of the above.  All I know is it is beautiful.  So when i recieved it today, I had to grab the camera for some Q & D's, but hope to get some better photos with the light box this weekend. 

It's also fortunate that my wife's favorite has also been this watch, so she is thrilled that I got it.  I know, I'm a lucky man.

Great watch...and IMO Rolex and Breitling are among the few watches that can carry off the two tone!  Congrats!!!!
