My First Rolex: SS Daytona

Wanted to share with everyone my joy with owning my first Rolex... a SS black dial Daytona. It was a hard decision between the Daytona and SS Sub.

Good choice, i made the same decision too and got myself a black SS daytona.

But i can't resist the 16610LV temptation... ended up few $K poorer and 2 watches in my drawer...

Fantastic entry into the world of Rolex.

I believe you'll also get the same satisfaction in owning any of the other models most especially those in the Professional Line. Let us know if ever you get any more ... and please ... show us more pics of your Daytona.

If you're wearing it, you don't need to wind it. If it stops from NOT wearing it, wind it 40 times.

Congratulations! Very nice choise. I have the black also and love it. The problem with Rolies is that they are like potato chips, you can never stop with just one! Enjoy.
