Please participate in my Daytona Ownership Thread?

I'm a statistic fan and would love to hear where you stand on the subject.

jvb.nc · 13 February 2020, 01:32 AM

it is my favorite watch, and i plan on adding at least two additional versions in future.

Bluside · 13 February 2020, 01:37 AM

The Daytona is just not for me.

Which additional versions are you looking to add?

i’d love to add the black dial 116500, as i own the white dial; in a perfect world i would also add the full everose with rose dial and diamond indices, and the yellow gold with green dial.

i would also love a vintage non-newman 6263 or 6265, but i’m fairly sure that ship has sailed to extraordinary waters.

Wow! What a great response, close to 500 members have answered! As pollster, I find the quantities very interesting!

Please continue to add your option of choice!

Thank you kindly!

In my opinion, I'd take the responses with a grain of salt. Last time I did a poll for Platona owners there were 25 (IIRC); I just did another one and there are 17 confessed owners less than half of which can prove it. For some reason the membership here is less than honorable when it comes to taking polls and discussing watches they own. The only reports I'm willing to believe are those who confess to being a hockey puck. I guess there's a reason they say, "picture or it didn't happen."

jitdc · 13 February 2020, 01:36 AM

On the "list" for SS ceramic, hopefully it will come through one of these days. But if I see a WG blue dial at the AD that may just be the one for me.

jcj · 13 February 2020, 01:47 AM

I’ve always appreciated the Daytona, but not enough to get on a list, or buy grey; I voted Hockey Puck.

stratguy · 13 February 2020, 01:49 AM

You should have an option for "I used to own a Daytona but don't anymore".

torrente · 13 February 2020, 01:52 AM

I had a ceramic panda but I let it go because I was not happy with its readability (I am 51yo and I use +1.5 readers)

101031-28 · 13 February 2020, 02:03 AM

Big fan of the Daytona

RichM · 13 February 2020, 02:08 AM

Have had several different variations, but never more than one at a time.

037 · 13 February 2020, 02:10 AM

I badly wanted to vote that I'm a hockey puck but selected otherwise since I have a Daytona.

If only this were multiple choice.

smym18 · 13 February 2020, 02:42 AM

Nothing against it but the Daytona doesn't really interest me.

Bizcut1 · 13 February 2020, 02:42 AM

Want one - but not on a list, yet.

I am a hockey puck.

2mgversed · 13 February 2020, 02:44 AM

While I'm on the list, my AD told me that they have over 1000 people and only get a few a year... lol

That's a lot of wait...

Roli4life · 13 February 2020, 03:13 AM

I’m digging it

Wobbly · 13 February 2020, 03:14 AM

Had one, recently sold it, never want another one.

mrmarty · 13 February 2020, 04:04 AM

Have both 116520 and 116500. I prefer the 116520 in Polar and prefer the 116500 in black. Overall, I wouldn’t pursue another Daytona if given the opportunity.

BNA/LION · 13 February 2020, 04:11 AM

Got One and I'm Happy!

Do I wish I would have bought a Rainbow, if I had an opportunity, back in the day? YES! I tried this on last weekend and it is Sweet!

alonsowwss · 13 February 2020, 04:13 AM

picked up my white dial ceramic on November and I love that thing. In the future I would like to get a PM Daytona.

watchwatcher · 13 February 2020, 04:20 AM

I think it's a fantastic watch. I read a lot of posts from members whose ownership experience didn't live up to all the expectations and hype surrounding the watch, but honestly, my experience is just the opposite...I've grown to appreciate it more.

That said, I'm not really a chrono guy at heart, so will most likely be paring down the Daytona's in my collection.

t65tampa · 13 February 2020, 04:20 AM

My favorite Daytona models are yellow gold. Over the years, I've had two 116528 models, two 116520 stainless steel versions, and a 116523 SS/18K. My favorite Daytona is the one I currently have, which is a 116508. It has the black dial with champagne counter dials which I think look fantastic with the yellow gold of the case and bracelet.

The Daytona is a beautiful watch that is comfortable, useful, and durable. I'm not letting that 116508 go.

antelope · 13 February 2020, 04:26 AM

I have 3 now. RG ceramic chocolate dial , yellow gold green dial, and 165000 white. would like to purchase WG steel dial or possible blue dial.

illiguy · 13 February 2020, 04:27 AM

116520, waiting on 116500 (11 months and counting) ...

daOnlyBG · 13 February 2020, 04:28 AM

OP, to be clear: are you referring to the new, Ceramic Daytona only? That's what the poll implies.

(some of us are fans of older Daytonas)
