I have tried on Sub's and GMT II, as well as yacht master and the Daytona. It seems that both the Daytona as well as the Yachtmaster feel really nice on the wrist, but I don' like the Daytona because it's missing the Date, and the yachtmaster is nice but the one i like doesn't have the ceramic Bezel.

I like the the sub and the GMT II but both feel a little big and bulky. I mean I like the weight but it still doens't feel like the Daytona and yachtmaster.

So, If I go out on a limb, that the Daytona doesn't have a Date because most guys are retired who wear Daytona's?

and, Why not ceramic Bezel ont he Yachtmaster that I like?

The Daytona does not have a date because Rolex does not make it that way
I am far from retired and love wearing my Daytona
Many women wear a Daytona and they are far younger than I am
I have no need to know the date on my wrist, most of my watches have no date
I like the look without a date, the dial is cleaner and the cyclops is disturbing, I own two Rolex watches without a date

The watch is an icon and speaks for itself

The gold GMT is a beauty.

I prefer the SUB - C and GMT II - C over all other rolex watches and its because of my love for ceramic black bezel. Own both and I am quite happy with both. See Pics below. The sub is a little more bulky than the GMT but the glide-lock clasp is absolutely awesome especially during the summer. I think the GMT sits better on the wrist. The sub has been my daily beater for over a year now and I have accumulated some wear and tear. I just got the GMT but plan to wear it occasionally to keep it looking new.

I dont think you can't go wrong with either. I am not a daytona fan or the one that I like is out of my price range at this point (ceramic bezel version). I am not a big fan of the platinum bezel on the yachtmaster.

Exactly!...go for YM BECAUSE it doesnt have the ceramic Bezal...YM looks far better not as clumpy.

Fairly sure the Daytona doesn't have a date because it's traditionally a racing chronograph - no need to know what today's date is when you're at the track and measuring split second laptimes.

JJL · 20 July 2013, 05:03 AM

Go with the Yacht-Master. Best looking watch.

Platinum > Ceramic :)

I have two Daytona, neither am I retired.

I mostly refer to my Smartphone for Date if I wear a Daytona, no issue, because the phone has everything in it

I've not heard the retired Daytona connection before.

Racerdj · 20 July 2013, 07:33 AM

Love the gold sub!

That YM is sweet! No brainer my friend...

GlideLockHeadLock · 20 July 2013, 08:47 AM

i think the Submariner Date is way more of a icon. I feel like a Rolex isnt a ROlex without the cyclops lol (Just my opinion) I like the daytona but its just not my style. I had the Plat. YM but with the silver dial. Its a beautiful watch but the polished middle links with attract scratches very easily. Love the new Blue Dial though.

Just quietly between you and me, you might want to climb back in from that limb.

I suspect the date-Daytona-retiree link is looking rather tenuous!

The blue dial YM I is a beauty.

YM...but i am bias.

Don't force yourself to make a decision. Give it more time and keep trying on watches. Eventually one will stand out.

Ardalan · 20 July 2013, 12:52 PM

Daytona for sure.

Btw I am 28 and far from retirement.

luvsub · 20 July 2013, 03:54 PM

I will choose subc since it has ceramic insert and date function. I am not a big fan of leather strap.

Lion · 20 July 2013, 08:22 PM

I do not see how anyone can go wrong with buying, owning and wearing a Rolex watch......except maybe the Leopard Daytona...Naw... Just kidding!!!

Take your time and good luck and Happy Hunting!!!
