So what could be better than a SS Daytona?



Having them in both colors?

Only ceramic version would be better than that... Daytona is one of the best Rolexes.

What could be better? Six Tudor chronos for the same price?
Nice set, pal!

Thanks for all the kind words! Stickers are there as these were the first pics taken home, fresh spanking new from my Rolex AD. I'm a sucker for new watches. They'll come off soon like the white one.

Let the scratches and dings begin, that'll add in my personal touch and give it character! Cheers,

Great pair. It's hard to beat that.

Maybe a pair of Everose gold Daytona with the 2 dial versions?

Great pair

- I'm a big fan of the Daytona - had a white dial with a black dial option....then this came along and I couldn't justify having them both...

The dial layout on these watches is pure class IMO:

Beautiful watches!

However, you did ask whats better and my opinion is that I would prefer the WG with Meteorite dial with bracelet!
