Not I but my father would definitely wear it and he would love it if it had a gold bracelet, he's an LA Lakers nut!

If the Daytona was made in platinum with a dial that color and deep chocolate sub dials and bezel it would be my grail!!!

Purple is a fine color for many things, but for my wristwatch? I don't think so.

I like colorful watches. I don't know if I could do purple, but I do have a watch with a yellow dial, and one with an orange dial too. Those watches definitely aren't for everyone. Because of them, I get why someone would like a purple one.

Depends on the watch, but my initial answer is "yes"

A beautiful 1959 or '58 Olds you have there.

A few years ago I fell in love with a 1957 88 two door ht that Bud Ward in Little Rock was selling, but we could not get together on price.

No. A purple watch is not for me. Either is the salmon color dial.

Thats a gorgeous purple on the watch sold by Kirill. I love the vibrancy of it. When I tried on the Red Grape OP, it started to really grow on me but would I spend a few thousand on it? No. If I had a money tree would be a different story. LOL For all you guys that have purple loving ladies, you should check out Omega Ladymatic. Theres a gorgeous purple dial. To bad the version I saw was with diamonds, but I could be pretty tempted to get that one. 34mm so not too big, but not that small either. Thats on my dress watch list. If I get there. haha
