For me the most stunning daytonas are in PM, YG green dial, RG choco dial, WG blue dial. SS comparing to them is boring

breitlings · 3 June 2021, 03:17 AM

Strap daytonas are some of the most interesting imho with their dial combinations, strap differentiators, and bezels.

I passed on at least two Rolexes, one TT SD and a TT black dial 41mm Submariner offered to me in the past year. Not the ones I was looking for but probably should have considered them. Seems there's a Rolex drought since...

Oh, nice to meet Pam in such collection. I was fan of Panerai for years, but now I have only Pam 564

The Blue dial is real Pearl in every collection.

New Tudor watches are really interesting. They will gnaw off Omega’s market share

I will try to build strong relationships with SS one.

Well, not all SS watches are the same. For me Hulk is irreplaceable partner for business trips to Arctic oil fields. It never occurred to me to get PM watch for a such trip.

For a such pretty lady PM watch is Necessarily

Putin is my
Puppet master. I love him

Nauti · 3 June 2021, 07:19 AM

I was asked the other day “if you could have one superpower what would it be” ?

I said “Russia”.

Platona is a very special piece but the WG blue dial runs it close....

interestedinwatches · 3 June 2021, 08:37 AM

To me, it seems like you just have a preference for sunburst dials. Matte dials just don't do it for you. Every single watch you mentioned liking has sunburst... I sense a theme here.

SS Oyster · 3 June 2021, 02:51 PM

Must be tough having to put up with such a boring watch.

Please pass the Grey Poupon.

Agree, after the PM Daytona’s the SS appears too plain/boring.

watchwatcher · 3 June 2021, 10:39 PM

Interesting way to put it. I remember the first Daytona I purchased, several years before the ceramic phase. I believe the description listed in the watch booklet was "somber," or possibly "sober." These descriptions, used by Rolex themselves, are very telling.

While I wouldn't say boring, I do think the steel models have a more business-like look, while the PM/TT models are just so much more...fun.

Well, it’s an interesting idea. But! I love matte dials on 5712 and 15400. So, the reason is is little bit harder to understand

I’m just reported actual status in Putin’s Russia :)

Now I have some fresh ideas about what to do with SS Daytona. I will start new thread

But both of your 15400 and 5712 are sunburst!! They're not matte at all lol?

15400 doesn't even have a matte dial option. They're all sunburst. Same for 5712, I think only the 5711 has a matte white option.

Posh Gentleman · 4 June 2021, 07:00 AM

damn, you have a baller collection. congrats on all these beauties from your pics. I would kill for that Patek you are wearing.

just curious - do you prefer white gold OF to full white gold non-ceramic daytona? if so why?

I own a SS Daytona in black. you should keep all 3 - as SS Daytona is more of a collector's item, more than anything. not as good looking as WG Daytona but it is a rare, prized item.

Thanks! This is only the one Patek I have. Unique piece.

That’s a good question. First I want to say, that’s OF is super kind of strap. Definitely another fillings of wearing. I love it. And almost every casual weekend OF Daytona with me. I can’t choose between them, because loss of every piece is a tragedy.

I asked about this and heard the same. My SA snapped back "they aren't more rare, they're just the one everyone wants".

indianmachine · 4 June 2021, 01:50 PM

Have to say I agree with that WG oysterflex daytona no need for the stainless steel.

Perhaps when you retire you will add the YG with green dial a great piece as well
