I like chronographs, the "busy" look and the function even if I don't use it daily. I love the size, I do not think of it as small as many fixate on. It is an extremely comfortable watch, thin and well balanced. It will never be as legible as a basic 3 hand time only watch but I'm old and can tell time at a glance with it. And lastly they are as rugged as any of Rolex's other professional models, my black 116520 was pretty much my daily from 2004-08.

Although it's currently back on its bracelet, my ceramic spent over a year on an OEM Oysterflex with Smarty endlinks. OP, might I suggest having Aaron at Combat Straps make you a custom stingray strap for your's, he can do many colors of material and stitching.

That strap makes your Daytona look 10x better. It's like somehow the bezel never-ending. proportional and the subdials appear to be the proper Panda configuration and just overall less cluttered....oh wait, nevermind.

I was never interested in a Daytona until last year when something clicked for me. Have had mine for a month and love it.

The best white dial

One of my favorite shots; definitely the lighting! The Platona has so many different looks.

I started with the WG then added the SS. As good as the SS is, it can’t really compare to the white gold. That piece is simply incredible.

I suspect some of the negative comments come from those who can’t get one from an AD and won’t pay the grey price. Those two factors can leave a bitter taste that perhaps can turn into resentment. Some truly won’t like it anyway, it’s personal taste.

But I think to truly appreciate a Daytona you need to own one. I don’t suspect that many owners will have a bad thing to say.

An excellent thread. Still have all of my Daytonas - from a very early thin hands 116520 with the first in house chrono movement to the 116500. Still awaiting the call for a black dial. :)

As someone that has always loved cars and motorsports the Daytona is a natural choice. I have other references but the Daytona will always be the one.

Great shots, all. :thumbup:

What a lovely blue dial!

The lack of date makes it simple and easy to set the time when it’s time on the wrist.
