Adam, that's awesome - congrats! Are you still @ Wach?

Also, to add to the post... I have a simpler explanation - my opinion is that they are just so freakin' perfect looking!

Similar to what someone else posted, I've wanted a Daytona before I even knew anything about Rolex, just from the look of them. The secondary market keep the used pricing up doesn't hurt, but it isn't what makes me want one so bad.

I am still with WB. Things have been a little slow this year. I plan on starting my own gig with in 2 years or so.

I never thought anything about a daytona until my ad told me I needed one. Now that I have 1 blk and 1 white they have grown on me. I hate to say that I am somewhat in general disappointed with the Rolex line currently. They make a great watch but nothing super exciting.
