Every day I look at my Daytona and say how fortunate I'm to own this beauty.

Great shot! Daytona is not an easy one to make look good in pics, but you did it here!

Thanks!

You are right, it's extremely hard to capture true Daytona beauty on camera. Got lucky using my iPhone.

I've had 3 Daytona's over the past 15 years and my favorite is a very simple Stainless with white dial!

Great watch, the Daytona! Count me a fan...even if it is hard to read the subdials unless it's overcast!

I was getting a Panda till I saw this. It's growing on me though. Was not the instant love like my GMT IIc was and is.

You need serious help B.

Walked in to buy my wife a Datejust - asked if the happened to have a Daytona in stock and walked out with this as well.

I'm actually not a huge fan of this one but I saw this on Sant Blanc's website when looking for a Daytona. I thought it was pretty unique to say the least :D

What a rush this thread has been! Missing mine, but saving up for one. I can't complain, as all my watches ended up as trade bait for my grail I got last year, but the Daytona I miss the most. I had each of these at different times but in this order:
