Guys,

I just want to ask, until today is there any one complain about the Rolex in house movt in DAYTONAs?

No?

All those complication of a movt or a more simple movt, to me, do not make a difference as long as they do their job as chronograph and accurate as normal time.

But I will never pay for a watch that is older and costs more than a new watch, collector's item or not. Like the Red Submariner, Matted dial(no lume), folded bracelet, no sapphire crystal, rated 200m WR.... compared to the new Sub which has better features and built. Well you can say it is a collector's item for the Red Sub, but collector's item comes with a BIGGER price tag.

It is nice to drive a classic vintage Mercedes for eg, but it cannot compared to the current models for technologies and material used. And when it comes to service and parts, probably the parts of the vintage are harder to find, even if they are found, probably they cost more than the current parts due to rarity or maybe delivery costs involved for eg.

And I often prefer a watch with its own in house movt.

Just my 2 cents.
