I had been eyeing an all black Daytona since I first got into watches. My wife knew this and unbeknownst to me had been working with our jeweler ever since we bought our engagement ring and wedding bands (almost 2 years ago).

Right after our gender reveal party she brought me over to my parent’s house where there were 2 green bags on the table. Couldn’t believe she was able to pull it off. The AD called her only days before and my brother had to drive over 3 hours down to our small town AD to pick it up.

I had bought a 2012 Air King and a Blue Dial Milgauss from friends in the past. Kind of wild to get a Daytona as my first watch from an AD.
