Looks to me like you took a perfectly good Daytona and cut its b***s off. Not a fan.

Wow, more money than sense it would appear. That's how you crucify a well known icon. My two cents.

I'll pile on, why a Daytona? I'll bet he doesn't worry about future value.

Larry... no word that they even retained a 60-second chrono function. Apparently the pushers are used to activate the lights--or do they that in conjunction with when the Sheihk starts/stops/resets. And if no chrono then why the tach bezel...

Horrible. As far as I am concerned it's no longer a Rolex. They should have created a watch from the ground up.
