Slightly misleading title to this thread I'm afraid but at least it got your attention!! And actually, there is a link...

About a year ago my wife saw a Royal Oak in the flesh and finally got the 'watch thing'. We made a decision there and then that she would stop paying her £1k per month into our joint bills account, and whilst I covered her contribution, she would save her £1k per month and then buy 'us' a Royal Oak when the funds were there, and then this would be followed by a Patek Nautilus.

We were due to go to London next month for a weekend to buy the AP. Excitement has been building in our house for a little while now and the one thing I DID NOT WANT was for Rolex to launch a Ceramic SS Daytona, as I knew this would mean a tough decision was required!

And then yesterday happened! The second it was announced, my good lady and I had a two minute chat and the Daytona was ordered! We will still aim to get the RO and the Nautilus, but they will have to wait.

I have noticed on the various threads that I am not alone; there appears to be at least a handful of people that were about to take the plunge on a RO and have now decided (or are considering at least) to go for the Daytona instead.

In all my time of watching this forum, I have never seen such a consistent trend. It's especially curious as they are not even similarly priced, there is £4k - £5k difference in price.
