Don't we always say around here, there are no rules to watch collecting...along with the well used phrase "buy what you like?"

Well, here you go. The guy likes Daytona's.

OP, congrats on a fantastic watch.

Yeah me 2 or me 3, 4, 5, 6

Ive got multiple Explorers, Subs, Daytonas, etc and from his pictures they all have there differences. Just sayin...

Anyway great pickup and an even better collection of Daytonas. Well played.

It’s like 5 Porsche 911 of different times

The man loves the daytona! I don't see anything wrong with that. Especially with the variability you can find within the line. White gold, yellow gold, rose gold, steel, blue dials, green dials, white dials, oysterflex... they've got those whacky pastel colour ones. Old daytona's, zenith daytona's... I mean the options seem endless!

There are guys who only collect black steel submariners of different vintages. I think a daytona collection is perfectly reasonable.

I knew that you have been waiting for the YG green dial for long time.

I appreciate that. In the meantime, I thoroughly enjoy seeing yours!!

Exactly this.

I think it’s great that the OP appears to have purchased the exact type of watches he likes. Far better that than buying watches you are not so keen on in an attempt to get a variety of watches just to say you have some sort of “balanced collection”.

Buying watches is meant to bring you enjoyment. Each to their own I say

[Robf52]

Outstanding pieces. Congrats!

Kind of agree in a way. Whilst having even two of the same watch isn’t for me, I admire somebody that is so into a particular line they have multiple. It is certainly different to some of the collections we see which are oh so predictable (Pepsi, Hulk, Daytona etc).

Fair play OP. They say buy what you like

Guessin, your VIP status pushes the chance for others to buy a Daytona right out the door.....

The frustrating part is that as dealers are shut down there will be an even smaller circle of individuals who have access to msrp rolexes based on relationships at boutiques and larger chains. If Rolex goes the way of AP
then why would they even bother advertising on billboards and sponsoring sporting events, etc? And besides, wasn't rolex a more obtainable luxury brand for the masses at one point in history? The problem is the executives love the idea of becoming even more elitist and taking the brand with them. May be a short term winning strategy but we'll see in 10/15 years. Don't get me wrong, I love the watches, but with the majority of earth not even getting to go to a nearby location and see them, they seem to lose cache. Not one of my friends has a clue when i'm wearing my blue AP.

As an aside, i'm not being bitter. i have a blue royal oak from a boutique, a white daytona, a pepsi, blah blah blah but i don't see the point of showing people a picture of a watch that everyone else has everytime i get one. The result is either "gorgeous watch" or "she's a beauty" stamp and repeat with what purpose for the OP?

Congrats

[Tensai]

I know plenty of people with more than 5. So try harder!

Congrats.

[koetp]

Thanks very much guys for all your comments, I love Daytona more than any Rolex sport models, that’s why I have 5 and they are part of my whole collection which now there are 25.

[Trek360]

Congrats on the latest and a great collection!!
