Do You like this Daytona?

Prince · 27 February 2007, 03:55 AM

No.

padi56 · 27 February 2007, 03:57 AM

Afraid that, is no longer worthy enough to even bare the Daytona name alone the name Cosmograph.But nothing more now than a huge profit for Rolex.Now that is one of the very very small percentage of watches, that are mostly asembled by hand

Chris B · 27 February 2007, 04:05 AM

Doesn't do anything for me at all I'm afraid, should have been buried with Liberace

You'd have to be careful not to get frost bite wearing all of that ice.

mikey · 27 February 2007, 05:32 AM

I guess I missed something, but I think that is the most awesome watch and does the plain expensive boring looking Daytona justice. Wish I could afford it

Everybodies taste is different that is a great thing and I fully respect that, but I would go with awful rather than awesome on this one Mikey.
The watch was designed as a Chronograph to record elapsed time on a tachymetric bezel, which is no longer visible so making the watch useless for its intended task.
IMO if you want diamonds like that buy a bracelet not a watch.

Kris · 27 February 2007, 07:42 AM

That watch is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over-priced!

I hold a shared belief that diamonds are over-rated, over-priced, and in general.........................worthless!

The value of diamonds is artificially inflated based on the monopoly of a few companies that mine these things.

Platinum and gold are the way to go. These are true precious metals and are a highly valued, shared commodity used to "rank" a countries economy amongst other nations.

The biggest mistake the US ever made was getting off the "gold-standard".

Diamond prices are by no means stable. Tomorrow someone could decide that they are worthless!

samstang · 27 February 2007, 09:27 AM

too much bling for me as well

Now THAT is a killer watch!

Rolex doesn't get much better for me than a WG Daytona with meteorite dial and red sub-hands.

santaclaus2100 · 27 February 2007, 12:15 PM

Way too busy for me. And that major bling factor can get a little "dangerous" depending on where you go when you wear it.

Worthless? so far in my life time they 've held their value and I'm 46. However, I have to agree with you I personally don't see the value in them!

mikey · 27 February 2007, 02:00 PM

I had a 18K DD with diamond bezel and pave' dial. I wish I didn't have to sell. The meterorite dial daytona is also awesome.

The reason I give such low/poor value to diamonds is based on my experiences with people trying to re-sale or pawn off items that have diamonds in them such as engagement rings, necklesses, and earings. I've heard of broker's offer straight-up $100 for a diamond engagement ring that surely at one point when purchased new cost around $5,000. The simple reason being what I said, diamonds are artificially inflated in price. These days you can purchase a comparible artificial diamond that has fooled even the most experienced jeweller's for 1/10th of the price of a natural diamond.

De Beor's did a real good job 40 years ago pulling the wool over women's eyes saying "If HE really loved you, he'd buy you a diamond" in their advertisments. WHAT A CON!

Everytime I see/hear a woman brag about her diamond ring/neckless/earings the first thing out of my mouth is "Did you see the new movie Blood Diamond?".

As for companies claiming their diamonds are from "blood-free" zones, that's a bunch of malarky also. A professional miner told a news program a couple months back that 75% of all diamonds that end up on jewellery comes from places where villages are terrorized/forced into mining these things for local militia. Also, as diamonds do not have so called "finger-prints", once the diamond is mined and shipped out, it's impossible to verify where exactly in the world it came from.

it depends on why people buy rolexes, some like you buy the rolex because of the image it represents, others for "keeping time"

i brought mine because it would be a better investment compared to a casio plus i need a dress watch and people around me tend to appreciated stuff like these. the guy who got my watch for me had the mentality of "more is better" when it comes to diamonds on his rolex .

I wore one just like it to the MTV awards, it matches my teeth (Full Grill). I express my sense of style in strange ways.
