SS Black Daytona - show off

Guys,

I think I need a therapist. I do own a SS Black Dial Daytona but I almost never use it. I love it, but every time I consider put it on It feels like a show-off watch... And I end up with the DJ, or the LV.

Do you guys have the same feelings with a specific watch in your watch collection?

Cheers
Walter

You said you love it, as would I if I owned one! My advice, concern yourself with what YOU think of it, not others. If you didn't buy it to change your perception in others eyes (which you obviously didn't) I say wear it my friend it's a beauty!

I am getting an SS Daytona in two weeks I think for at least a month it will be fused to my wrist. Wear it!

90% of people won't know what it is or pay any attention to it, 8% will be haters that will think it's fake, and 2% will be WIS that will want to talk your ear off.

Nothing wrong with the watch. Do you feel like a show off generally?

Not at all. The Daytona is understated compared to my TT black sub C. I wear the Daytona on a 'quiet day'.

Just to echo the sentiments here, the SS Daytona is the most subtle watch I wear, it goes almost 100% unnoticed, and I get to enjoy looking at it without other people eyeing it, like others have said, it's the quiet day watch.
