Still loving mine!

My collection as had many changes over the past couple of years and at one point had these two but the Daytona just didn't equal the SDc and lost out on the wrist time


My collection went up to five and now back down to these two and they get equal amount of wear, this is currently my favourite Rolex duo

I am not bored and like new Cerachrom bezel. It's just cosmetic tweaks what makes these Cerachrom Daytona watches so desirable but it works somehow

I've always loved the Daytona in pictures, and with the ceramic bezel, even more so.

Not bored but I got a feeling it might just get flipped for the new Basel 17 WG edition.

Not at all bored, absolutely love it and find myself staring at it constantly, though I also find myself looking down for the date (used to have a Sub C date) but I knew that going in. Now I just need to find a friend for it...

The pictures are nice but it is like landscapes....photo's don't do the subject justice. I finally saw a White C in the flesh and it is beyond my expectation. I don't think I could ever get bored with one of these.

I finally saw the white dial in the flesh. I was really wanting to like it an join the hype. Alas, it did nothing for me. I'll leave it for y'all other collectors.

saw it in person, checked out the gold one with leather band, somehow makes the watch look smaller- I think. Anyway that same day, I bought a 116520 white dial

Bought the Daytona C 116500 but it didn't stay longer then 6 months. It wears very small and it miss the Wow factor and wrist precense.. Sold it with a good profit and hunting for a Deepsea Blue and Submariner LV with the extra cash I made. ����

I am wanting to add it to my collection but since I have the previous model, I am good until the ceramic comes available for me.

I prefer the new ceramic over the old, but, I sold mine anyway, got bored with it, but Its more because I dont like chronographs at all, dont know why, because the daytona c is really great and proporcionated piece, but then on my wrist I dont feel it, weird..

You have a Patek 5711?

Bored to death with the Daytona C. It's, like, so last year.

I don't like cinnamon so I'm not qualified to say: I'm bored of Cinnabon. Similarly I'm not a big one for choreographs, I don't have the need for the complication, so I'm not the one to say I'm bored of the Daytona. I am sort of fascinated by the obsession that so many have with getting this model of the Daytona and weird stories like the ADs which insist on engraving the watch once sold.

Bored, no way..I own a white face one...probably the coolest watch I own, and I have a '77 Gold 1680 I thought was cool...

I like the way they look but would prob never buy one. The price is ridiculous, the size is a hair too small, no date, and still doesn't have the provenance of a SMP that cost 1/3. Nah, everyone else can have them.

Can't say I've seen a watch with that complication before, don't think I'd be a fan either!
