it's sheer beauty...own one and each time you wear it you cannot take your eyes off it.
There is nothing "cluttered" about the dial...it's design is sublime...and when you put it next to similar chronos is speaks "class" way above them all.....and class is what the "Daytona" is all about.

Is it the mystical air that surrounds it? How the SS models are selling few grands above list? or cause the celebrities are wearing it?

No, I don't know that.

And, I do use it quite frequently.

In other words, I don't know who this "we" you speak of refers to, but it sure doesn't include me.

Oh no... Not another 'Whachu talkin' bout, Willis' thread... Don't you people understand? Taste is taste, IT DIFFERS. Do you REALLY give a

if some guy you have never met likes/dislikes your watch? Who cares?! What's important is that YOU like what you have on your wrist.

Evidently, and judging by the frequency of such posts, I'd say the answers are (i) yes and (ii) many people on this forum. As to why, well, I guess some people need the validation of others?

Sadly, true.

I think the meteor makes this the most gorgeous watch on earth, that is not of this world.

Alan we have the same watch, I got mine in the summer of '98, paid 6k tax included, the watch has been great all these years and needed only one service so far about 6 years back, how as yours held up? Mine has some wear on the bezel from the 65 to the units per hour.

It is as you see it, Jay. That photo was taken last year, I believe. I purchased mine "grey market" back in 2006. It was pristine when I bought it, and has remained so. It had been serviced by the dealer from whom I purchased it. It is the most accurate of all of my Rolex watches. Just a superb timepiece in every way!

I KNOW you enjoy yours. They will last us a lifetime, as will all of our other Rollies!!!

Modern classic.

Kapture1 · 14 February 2010, 01:40 AM

I hated the Daytona when I first got into Rolex... now, I want one really really bad... go figure

DDG · 15 February 2010, 04:15 AM

Guys like curves, contours, and gadgets. The Daytona has it all.

cdnwatchguy · 15 February 2010, 04:23 AM

Always been a chrono guy, wanted one forever and finally was able to afford one, BNIB from an AD. My favourite watch bar none.

Macro80 · 18 February 2010, 06:17 AM

Must say ive never seen it. Ive always though Rolex were incredibly lazy not supplying a date feature.

Rolesor · 18 February 2010, 06:52 AM

The Daytona is definitely a cool watch but to be honest the SS models never really do it for me.

BUT

When I hold a Solid gold model or even one with a leather band... WOW it just screams at me in a way that makes me realize I'll never afford it hahaha

and then there's the Rose Gold Daytona... RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME.. man forget about it haha

marcinthemiddle · 18 February 2010, 06:54 AM

Hmmm...you know Atomant- It seems like you were bitten by the Daytona bug in a previous thread: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...na+pics&page=6

Have you since changed your mind about it being "stunning"?

rfknauss · 18 February 2010, 07:08 AM

Got to love the Rolex Daytona ...... wouldn't mind adding one to my collection. Simply because it is one beautiful Rolex!
