Absolutely! There are three prices! The asking, the selling and the secondary... ;-)

Don't throw rocks at me - but I'm not minding that platinum Daytona and the green DD,

But the real show stopper was the new blue Tudor heritage

Great article and pics - thanks for posting

I like all of the watches reviewed, esp the GMT

This comment in the article caught my attention in particular:

"An interesting fact mentioned, in the UK, 70% of all new Day date 36mm now bought by woman! (fact: in the plane to Basel there were two lovely ladies sat in front of me, both wearing gold Zenith Daytona's)."

Starting to warm up to that YMII. GMT is a sure fire winner.

Great article. Thanks for the link.

I'm another one that thinks the platinum Daytona looks quite nice. To me, it's distinctive, in a good way.
