right, D is nice

WG with Roman numbers and 4 billion year old Gibeon meteorite dial. The meteor is large, but parts that are jewel quality are very rare. The WG came from a supernova, and the meteorite from a meteor the same age as our planet. Amazing to science nerds.

I will be purchasing my first Daytona soon. im trying to find a used white gold with mother of pearl dial and diamond hour markers.. that would be my preference... if I could afford it I would get the platinum in an instant and I would not have any regret or worry about the residual value.

my advice to you would be if you plan non resale later down the line to be safe, get a stainless steel with a black dial because its so popular.. altho if I was keeping it I would get the stunning symmetrical clinical clean white dial, just stunning.

does anyone have any diamond daytonas? oh and that meteorite dial.. OMG! beauty.. shear beauty..

Judah · 25 February 2015, 02:11 AM

The Daytona is the Truth! I have a 16523 and it lights up my life. haha

the dial is beautiful..would you like to sell this piece to me? if there were diamonds instead of romans In my opinion it would be perfect.. for a gold piece. obviously the platinum, or the rainbow would be better.

has anyone seen the new rumoured ceramic bezel ss Daytona at bazel?

BLACKHORSE 6 · 11 March 2015, 09:47 AM

I am on vacation skiing with family. Going up the lift, my brother asked me what time it was and was shocked to see that I was wearing my Daytona when I pulled back the sleeve of my jacket to glance at it. Gave him a quick brief as to why it was fine to ski with it on, or do just about anything with it. Mine was a special gift from my wife, so it's never off of my wrist.

kultschar · 11 March 2015, 10:05 AM

So many nice models - hard too choose (Platona the one but out of my league)

Would love to upgrade my SS white one day to a diff model

Well mate this has been rumoured for a few years now and unlikely to be released before the gold models all have theirs but you never know...

997.2 · 11 March 2015, 12:35 PM

Wait... you get aroused?

Daytona's are nice but not that nice

I think it’s a special Daytona and I would love to own one… one day..
The cognac sapphires perfect in colour and cut.. Beautiful diamonds arranged in a way I have never seen on any Daytona.. And the furry leopard dial with diamond hour markers is just tremendous.. I think people are missing the point with the watch and thinking it’s just trashy, but actually if you think about it, it’s an extremely sophisticated and classy piece.

Disagree here lol, I do not like the look of this one. Looks like a cheetah or lion on the wrist

Yes, and if the bezel indicators are any clue that is WG ^|^ not SS .|.
My guessis we would be lucky if they make it available on all PM models.
Then maybe next year SS

Steel28 · 11 March 2015, 08:58 PM

Every day I look at my Daytona and say how fortunate I'm to own this beauty.

Great shot! Daytona is not an easy one to make look good in pics, but you did it here!

locutus49 · 11 March 2015, 10:31 PM

The Daytona in all its forms is magnificent. A true icon of the watch world.

Thanks!

You are right, it's extremely hard to capture true Daytona beauty on camera. Got lucky using my iPhone.

RPB · 17 April 2015, 06:49 AM

This was new to me today! Just put it on now I'm back from work. Had a magnifying glass all around it! lol. Great watch.

jhcam8 · 17 April 2015, 08:56 AM

Beautiful bunch of Daytonas!
