Get one!!

mjclark32 · 11 January 2013, 09:14 AM

They're horrible!

Congrats on your, soon to be, incoming haha

Alex Ks · 29 April 2013, 03:58 PM

I was never a fan until I finally got one... Needless to say its one of my fav watches now. Aside from having a beautiful design it is by far the most comfortable Rolex!

Lew Archer · 29 April 2013, 04:18 PM

Fantastic watch. Very happy with mine...

I do have one complaint: the legibility of the subdials is very much subject to lighting conditions. Overcast? Perfect? Bright sunlight, good luck trying to quickly and precisely read how much time has elapsed.

It's a dress watch with a chronograph. If I had serious timing to do(and was going to use a mechanical watch), I'd use my Breitling Navitimer or Omega Speedmaster Professional.

That aside, the watch is a pleasure to wear.

If you love it, buy it. They're not getting any cheaper...

superdog · 29 April 2013, 10:36 PM

Now I want one.

Damn it.

How · 29 April 2013, 10:47 PM

Get a Sub instead!

That would be a love-love relationship!

Cabaiguan · 29 April 2013, 11:12 PM

Oops. Just noticed I posted on this one already. ;-)

landroverking · 29 April 2013, 11:29 PM

I hate all the Daytonas I don't own.

floater156 · 29 April 2013, 11:33 PM

Ok, you asked for it. The Daytona: It doesn't have a date function. SS watches shouldn't be blingy and shiny like the Daytona. It's 40mm, but wears smaller, too small. It's quickly becoming a woman's watch. The dial is cluttered and hard to read. You'll have no practical reason to use the complication. It is waaayyy too over priced.

Deep-House · 5 May 2013, 11:34 AM

I have to agree, Daytonas are awful!

polarinda · 5 May 2013, 11:47 AM

Actually, the dayto is no more blingy than the fluted bezel rings on the subs.
Now if anyone has the zeniths for sale, pls pm me.

TimeOnHand · 5 May 2013, 11:52 AM

What can I say... It's an acquired taste!

Le Chef · 5 May 2013, 12:31 PM

There are better chrono's out there. I would sooner have a used Patek 5980 or Lange 1815 Chrono or AP ROO than a new Daytona.

The Daytona seems a very vanilla design compared to the alternatives.

I know more women who own Daytonas than men.

Does that help?

Jim300186 · 5 May 2013, 12:39 PM

Yes mine is awful I hate it lol only joking love it always have however the same thing that happened to you happened to me with the dssd tried it on at the dealer and now really want it and I'm currently saving for it.

It's a useless watch, but I love the look of it

terrywoods · 5 May 2013, 07:28 PM

My AD told me in the late 70s and early 80s he could not give then away even with a discount, everyone always bought the speedmaster.

AJMarcus · 5 May 2013, 10:53 PM

Congrats on picking up the most versatile Rolex in their collection.

It goes formal to jeans smoothly and always looks the iconic part.

Could it be because the Speedy has always been almost a third of the price? And to a non WIS they may not appreciate the qualitative difference of the Daytona both then and now.

Nycturbovr6 · 5 May 2013, 10:58 PM

I want one so bad

My AD said at the time he couldn't shift the Daytona the price difference between it and the speedmaster was £50.
