Something like:

Hey, it's not for me but congrats and enjoy!


Yet, for some reason SOME (not all of course, probably not the majority) TRFers feel Daytona owners don't deserve that basic respect, and they have a free reign of bashing a nice model. Love it, hate it, somewhere in the middle I respect your opinion, don't criticize a model because it was (is?) hghly sought after.

nice post, paul.

don't worry too much about it, though....is there any watch that doesn't get bashed? "short hands" explorer? "clown master"? girly 36mm DJ? "entry level" explorer ii? blingy GMT with the bizarre bezel text? fat lugs SubC that every tom, dick and harry wears? what's an air king?

for some reason, there's a lot of people who feel the need to put others' watches down....the good of that is that there is passion, the bad is that, come on, it's just a watch and not at all polite or respectful. would 99.99% of the negative comments be made in real life and not behind a computer screen?

if you like the watch, spend the money and enjoy it. if you don't, shrug your shoulders and move on, 'cause the price is the price and it's not going to change just because you happen to think you KNOW what a luxury item SHOULD cost.
