Congrats, great pics & excellent watch SS Daytona needs to be seen in person
to be appreciated. Those rings just light up light microscopic diamonds, a very iconic watch. SS feels nice on the wrist tried a gold one & felt like I had a brick on my wrist not that wouldn't get used to it but SS feels just right. If I had to pick just one Rolex it would be the SS Daytona probably in a hardest part would be a white or black dial though more biased towards the black.
Enjoy

But isn't that analogous to saying most Sub owners never take them more than 10 feet deep (or whatever pool they're in)?

Great review, and I agree with everyone on how awesome the Daytona is! I have had one on my wrist for nearly over 8 years (although they were different models!)

Awesome photos! I've had mine (116520) for almost two weeks as well and stare at it daily. Hope to have it sized this weekend! For now, the 16570 is preparing to hibernate.

Really nice photos and review! I wish my aging eyes could see the dial better or that they dial would be easier to read. Apart from that, love my Daytona!
