Mr Daytona · 2 May 2014, 06:52 AM

I always hear on the internet about how the Daytona wears small so I created a thread with poll asking what size wrists current Daytona owners have. You can find it here http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=349472

I think there are many reasons for and against buying one but I don't believe wrist size should be one of them. As the poll shows, people of all wrist sizes have purchased it. If a guy with a 6.5" wrist can rock a Deep Sea then an 8" wrist can wear the Daytona.

So I say, if you want one go for it!

Agreed!

tkerrmd · 2 May 2014, 06:57 AM

I really think anyone in the real world would think a Daytona would look great on anybody any sex any size, people's opinion on this forum well they are WIS's so expect all kinds of answers

As you said if you like it buy it if ya don't don't

Here is my too small Platona

As you can see it dwarfs the YMII

GolfPunk · 2 May 2014, 06:57 AM

Well said sir

fullcourt · 2 May 2014, 06:59 AM

love mine....wearing it today

AK797 · 2 May 2014, 06:59 AM

The Daytona - If you like it, just buy it

No, no, no! You must do a poll first and get a TRF consensus and only then. Same for any watch.

RolexJNJ · 2 May 2014, 07:06 AM

Absolutely, just get one, don't think!

h999r · 2 May 2014, 07:18 AM

For 08" yes look too small. But ... So what.

newu5er · 2 May 2014, 07:30 AM

How many threads are we gonna have about Rolex's smaller models? As long as the person that purchases it thinks it looks good, that's all that matters isn't it?

Snow-Dweller · 2 May 2014, 07:34 AM

I bought my first Rolex in 1986 (TT Sub). Have wanted a Daytona ever since. Bought my fourth Rolex from my AD last Christmas (SS Daytona 116520 white).

Since then I have sold other pieces and bought a Polar 216570 and a BLNR....both of which I adore.

Seriously, I am yet to fall in love with the Daytona. I am still trying......for now.

speedy_master1 · 2 May 2014, 07:39 AM

it dose look smaller then my other watches but i only wear it as my dress watch it looks killer with suit and tie. so it is not my everyday watch.

HL65 · 2 May 2014, 07:48 AM

Looks tiny next to my giant DDII!

A whole 1mm smaller....Oh my!

jonjonc · 2 May 2014, 07:54 AM

The HORROR! I can't allow you to wear that tiny Daytona any longer. I will have to take that off your hands before you embarrass yourself anymore!

40mm is definitely small Rolex size too--40mm is the new 36mm.

eenkm · 2 May 2014, 08:13 AM

I love my SS Daytona to be my first Rolex!

I'd agree with that. It's the way the wear that makes the difference. Explorer II is perfect for me, but I understand everyone has their likes and dislikes.

landroverking · 2 May 2014, 08:50 AM

It's only small if your into 44mm plus watches.

I for one would like to see it at around 37mm.

Solo118 · 2 May 2014, 09:29 AM

I believe it is a great size! It has not been Maxi-ed yet and it fits my tiny 6.3" wrist beautifully!

Roll the Lex · 2 May 2014, 09:40 AM

Actually, with a 6" wrist, you won't hear me complain!

Its a great watch, and not as common in the wild like other Rolex models.

The Daytona is an awesome Rolex. I love it for days when I just don't care what day it is... or should I say what the date is.
