What a great watch...my only knock on the Daytona is the limit of two dials for the SS model and holding out the really cool dials for the PM models.

Currently have a dj, exp2 and a blnr, but still wanting and waitng for a SS ceramic daytona, something like this

omx5o · 25 May 2015, 01:10 AM

Overrated? I should think not.

superdog · 25 May 2015, 01:48 AM

Nothing but love from me as well.

I just got a drool worthy grail type watch. Also a chrono. And a higher price point for SS.

But tell you what; it changes nothing about my love for the Daytona.

I think the hype is very well deserved. It's a watch that inspires excessive passion for some.

Joearch · 25 May 2015, 02:11 AM

A classic the day it was introduced. Really love mine.

AS1 · 25 May 2015, 03:15 AM

Cal 4130 is fantastic

In many cases, people who say the Daytona is overhyped and overpriced will not blink to pay 15k on a sub with one word of red text on the dial (and no glidelock! Hehe). To each their own, the daytona has a cult following for a reason.

Jason71 · 25 May 2015, 04:28 AM

I love mine. Can't wait to get my next one.........

I'll take one please!

AK797 · 25 May 2015, 05:12 AM

I don't think the hype is the watch's fault. Rolex has had a very exclusivity driven strategy with releasing this and thus as so many have not seen the watch for real but only on large internet pics then it is inevitable that this watch will suffer from over-expectation and hype.

Am I correct in saying though that only the SS models have historically been the ones difficult to obtain?? Almost every AD I have ever been in has had a WG/RG/YG model or TT

Yup only SS.

Steel28 · 25 May 2015, 06:31 AM

Way overhyped, costs only around 12K, worn by best race drivers, politicians, actors, boxers, movies stars, many respectable members of our forum.

It's freaking amazing and I'm lucky to own it.

RPB · 25 May 2015, 08:35 AM

I've got one but aint feeling the 'love' for it like I have for my GMT IIc

anothernewphone · 25 May 2015, 09:20 AM

I think the Daytona is the pinnacle of the stainless steel Rolex world.

Dr DRW · 25 May 2015, 01:21 PM

If they ever come with a black bezel I'm sold!
