Thing is, it's totally different to the 5205R in every way. I can't trade in this 5205R as the Daytona is not a replacement, definitely a case of having both of them. I love my PP in any case and want to hold on to it, this platinum Daytona will be a wonderful watch to complement it in my little collection.

I will be hunting for the right deal and making sure timing is right for my personal finances to get an extra watch rather than a PX deal, but expect an incoming thread in the not too distant future.

Thanks for all the advice with this one, having tried it for myself today the way owners speak about it makes so much sense, definitely a true 'keeper'.

I'd be shocked if you were disappointed.
