Wow,

Nice variety. Unless it's species specific (I have several TT Subs of different styles and years) I like to see a bit of variety like that.

If all your watches look alike, it takes the feel (joy, elation, high, whatever) out of each time you strap on a different one.

very nice.

No offense, but two things strike me when looking at your Daytona:

1) It is a "Skinny Hands" version, so it must be an early F-series (around 2004). Did you buy it BNIB or "estate"?

2) The hour markers at 3, 6 + 9 look very square to me. Could you post a macro pic of the dial?

About "Fat Hands" versus "Skinny Hands" Daytonas, read this link:
