Great watch, the Daytona! Count me a fan...even if it is hard to read the subdials unless it's overcast!

I was getting a Panda till I saw this. It's growing on me though. Was not the instant love like my GMT IIc was and is.

You need serious help B.

Walked in to buy my wife a Datejust - asked if the happened to have a Daytona in stock and walked out with this as well.

I'm actually not a huge fan of this one but I saw this on Sant Blanc's website when looking for a Daytona. I thought it was pretty unique to say the least :D

It's a common nickname in Europe. Named after former President Mobutu of Zaire (formerly Belgian Congo), due to his famous liking for lepoardskin apparel, I believe. Not very PC, I guess, but that's why they call it the Mobutu.

What a rush this thread has been! Missing mine, but saving up for one. I can't complain, as all my watches ended up as trade bait for my grail I got last year, but the Daytona I miss the most. I had each of these at different times but in this order:
