No more Daytonas...
Just spun off my last one. Going to stick with Rolex for Subs, Datejusts and Day Dates... Vacheron for chronographs.
We'll see if it lasts... |

Agreed. I don't gel with the daytona either.

What a strange post "Hey everyone! Guess what, I'm not going to keep buying Daytonas now cos I realised I don't like them"... Thanks for that. Now this will just turn into a post of people jumping in saying how much they don't like the Daytona too and you're right... What a waste of everyone's time lol |

There are so many watches out there that I like, buying one I dislike would seem a strange logic.

No more Daytonas...

The new 126500 are a tad bigger and maybe a little easier to read due to the new spacing out of the dial with it’s new hour markers ![]() |

Same here. Hard to read. But after the honeymoon period I quickly realized how much I miss the date window and how much I can’t stand a dial without a moving center seconds hand. Lost a lot selling two Daytonas in years and made a promise not no get sucked into the hype in the future. For me DJ, Sub and GMT are perfect ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now you can rest knowing you tried it. I really like a Daytona and its a watch I enjoy more the longer I have it. The Submariner is my #1 though. Nice thing is you didn't fall in love with something thats easy to unload.

I love Daytonas … they are taking up all my wrist time. The good news is we all like different watches. It would be boring otherwise.

I’m down to one, and sometimes I feel like as a “collector” I need to have a Daytona in my collection… Who knows, I like it, but Daytonas aren’t for everyone.

I had tried to like a Daytona but never could, even turned down a pre-ceramic black dial before the hype..i like the case shape and slim lugs for the comfort and aesthetics, the dial is hard to read for me and it missed the point for the function IMO.
