I love both Daytona Rainbow and GMT with Sapphire and Ruby.
What was MSRP on this one?

What is the point of the GMT Bezel without the numbers? I guess the watch is there just for "swag" levels and the wearer will not really use the GMT function.

Wondering if it rotates ;)

These types of timepieces mainly for people that appreciate and love the precious stones. Without the number on the bezel, you still can use for second time zone from the dial and of course the bezel can rotates.

A lot of people never really care or use much of the function of the watches, they mainly go for the look and the brand.

I would never go for a rainbow theme watch, but after spotting one of these Daytona models in the wild just a couple of days ago i must admit they are gorgeous and who ever is in for one of these they're in for a treat*.

*understatement.

I have quite simple tastes and would not even swap my 16600 SD for any Daytona no matter the metal precious stones or price.
No need to worry. No one will be reaching to you for any SD/Daytona trades. No one!!

I have seen a few,believe me ,they are IMPRESSIVE ! Not a daily wearer for me,but as a beautiful creation ? Undeniable
I hated it before I saw it in the flesh and hated it even more when I saw it in the flesh (on numerous occasions) in the Tokyo grey dealer district. They look cheap and tacky in my eyes, although I realise that’s not how everyone sees them.
