Rolex Daytona Cosmograph through my lens

Hello TRF,

Here are some pictures I took today of my Daytona using my 35mm AF-S 1:1.8G lens on a Nikon D60.

The Daytona to me is like the F355 Ferrari its beautiful and will never look out of style. Growing up in the 90's the F-car and the Daytona were my utter most favorite "grown" up luxuries. I like to associate cars with watches, the Daytona is a slim watch compared to the other offerings in the market, its my smallest watch and I love it. Today cars are getting bigger and heavier, although they have more performance but they've lost their beauty or artistic touch.

Look at a YM2 and Compare it to a Daytona, take a look at the Ferrari 599 and Compare it to a 575 Maranello.

I doubt I'd buy another Rolex again, I love my watch and it's taken years to get there (motivation, persistence) I now wear it with pride every day achieving a kid's dream 17 years ago.

Anyways enough of me going around the block expressing my thoughts, a picture is a thousand words.

Hope you like it.

I fully agree on your statements, and mine says hello:

It is truly amazing how good it feels to wear this watch, not too big and not too heavy as many other large size watches today....

I enjoy it since I got it 10 weeks ago!
