Exactly why I sold mine. Gotta have a date.

Who knows maybe one day.

If you want a date go with a Tudor:

No. Good as is.

Ive gotten used to it and kind of like it WO the date. Now a days its more about the watch then the function. Function follows form lol. After all, if I really need any function I will use my $200 iPhone. It has time, date, reminders, calendar , internet etc and is usually on me all the time my watch is. Last thing I do is buy a 10K+ watch based on features.

I would wear my Daytona more if it did have the date.

Aftershok57 · 15 August 2013, 12:27 PM

I think if the Daytona looked like this, I'd be all over it.

Noooooooo!!!!

Do not mess with perfection.

boogiebot · 15 August 2013, 01:48 PM

The no date thing does not bother me. And it would not keep me from owning this piece.

Andad · 15 August 2013, 03:58 PM

Daytona would be much improved with a date function. MANY chronos have a date function on them and they're not considered "busy".
I love mine, but would love it MORE if it had a date on it.

Mike, how do you set the Chrono hand to the date?

'Simple'

set the chrono hand to a minute marker between 1 and 31.

Yeah, that sounds like a plan.

brokenchains · 15 August 2013, 04:03 PM

I still love my Daytona, but this is why I pulled the trigger on this Tudor, also cyclops removed, I love it!!!!

kmleffler · 15 August 2013, 11:23 PM

I would not spend over $10,000 on a watch that did not have a date function.

DiamondJack · 15 August 2013, 11:38 PM

I have not bought a modern Daytona partly because it does not have a date function. But I do have a Tudor Oysterdate and other chronos that do.

So given that there is a huge array of watches that have both a chrono and date function, I'm always a little confused as to why people moan about this on the Daytona. Rolex isn't the only luxury watch brand available......

In my view, if something doesn't have a function you feel is important to you move on....... I doubt there will ever be a watch that does everything....... and looks good at the same time .....

After a decade of wearing an Explorer II as my daily wearer, I finally treated myself to a Daytona, which I had coveted for a very long time. The first thing I noticed, when I started wearing it..."Man, I miss having the date." Now, several years later, I still turn to my watch, out of habit, and if I'm wearing the Daytona, no date for me. :( While it certainly is not a dealbreaker, I do wish it had the date. It's become habit for me to look to my wrist for time and/or date.
