Seriously, it seems like I keep seeing photos of ladies wearing Daytonas all over the place.

Sandra Bullock, Elle MacPherson, January Jones, Tara Reid, Victoria Beckham, etc., etc... What gives?

jamesworthy52 · 16 June 2010, 05:17 AM

I feel like this issue has been brought up time and time again. In fact, see just a few days ago: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=131540. Some people will weigh in and say that 40mm is a man's watch. Some will say that times have changed and 40mm is too small. The vast majority of people will say that there is no such thing as a "man's" or a "woman's" watch, and recommend that people should just wear what they like.

Personally, I think the Daytona is gorgeous so there is no wonder why people of both sexes would wear it. I have a bigger wrist, so I would love it if the Daytona was a little bit bigger, but my 7.5+ inch wrist isn't normal for the general population so I think Rolex has it about right with the size.

these threads are getting wearisome. maybe we could have a sub-forum called "is this a girls watch?" interested parties could endlessly debate a most uninteresting horological topic.

Mystro · 16 June 2010, 05:25 AM

The Daytona has become a uni watch. The tapered 40mm bezel is softer than say a SD or Sub's higher sharper edge. I think the ladies like the softer tapered edge. The fact that Rolex is painfully dragging its heels and not making their watches larger doesnt help either.

Welshwatchman · 16 June 2010, 05:27 AM

To quote Rolex :

The Daytona is a driver's watch.

Women drive too so there you go.

Please, no "women driver" jokes or I'll have to ban both you and myself for bring the matter up in the first place.

I would like to see that on a man.

Or maybe not.

chris russell · 16 June 2010, 06:19 AM

manhood, need to recognize that women wear these watches lately Because they are mens' watches. It's the look nowadays. Women wearing articles of mens' apparel has long been considered provocative and sexy, and this is no different. Relax and enjoy it.

nauticajoe · 16 June 2010, 06:19 AM

Let's face it folks, Rolex is a unisex watch. Period.

Chris B · 16 June 2010, 06:38 AM

Woman shouldn't wear blokes watches or comfortable shoes

Subfiend · 16 June 2010, 07:40 AM

Well, I can't get my wife to wear my Daytona. She perfers my Speedy instead.

esm · 16 June 2010, 07:50 AM

Rolex Junky · 16 June 2010, 07:57 AM

rolexdeepsea · 16 June 2010, 08:40 AM

I seen many pic of male star wearing them too...however they do look very nice on some female wrist.

Art 1 · 16 June 2010, 08:46 AM

No.

sakuraba · 16 June 2010, 09:20 AM

It's a great sign that the Daytona is an excellent reference when it looks great no matter whose wrist it's on.

TheVTCGuy · 16 June 2010, 09:24 AM

I just want to object to all this violence on Television!

Dylan Wade · 16 June 2010, 05:16 PM

Can be worn as such yes........would the question arise to "if" it's a man's watch......?

I do not know if it is a "mans" watch or a "ladies" watch. It is a tad bit too big for me (those last I checked my birth certificate said "Male"). It certainly looks good on Karis... so maybe it is a ladies model.

HL65 · 16 June 2010, 07:51 PM

Whoever wants to wear it can wear it--as long as one can afford it that is!

The daytona is a killer watch... It is geared towards men but can be worn by the ladies.
