Whoever says Rolex is too conservative and doesn't keep up with trends needs to see this thing.

I used to be in the "not a fan" category when it comes to the Leopard Daytona but I since looked at it quite a few times and it grew on me. Nowadays when I look at one I actually get to think it's actually a very nice watch (just like the Rainbow Daytona) and though it's not the next one on my list if my collection ever reaches that point I could see myself buying one and wearing it. It sure isn't for everybody but I cannot say I find it ugly (quite the opposite now).

I think it's time you tone down a bit and stop insulting members watches.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That watch's been around a while and ridiculed plenty. I think it looks pretty good, way out of price range anyway.
Kobe's wife wore one, looked pretty damn sexy to me.

There is a buyer for everything! That Daytona is just the "bomb."

I like it better than the Milgauss and Yachtmasters (1 and 2).

Wouldn't wear one personally though...
