I certainly did enjoy each Daytona I bought. But, it just never really stuck. I also tried several of them because you never know what the magic combo could be. I still think it's a great watch, just don't see another one in my future.
At best I'm a fickle watch collector and I don't really care about the monetary component of it, so why not try a bunch of things? I do the same things with cars. |

And I have to say, the reason I really love trf is that anyone can post any inane, random thought or minutiae about watches and everyone will get super passionate about it and usually pretty mouthy.

I do see the logic in your approach.

Someone mentioned up thread the legibility on the 126 is better. That's the last one I had and it was certainly an improvement. |

I’ve eaten my wife’s cooking for over 30 years, trust me I don’t like it, trust me I know I don’t like it, wish I could give that up so easily ..

I will also add that the thing I may appreciate the most about my 116500 is the more "Rolex vintage" sizing and wearability. It's actually 38.5mm, right? Basically feels and wears like a 5 digit. The difference is stark when I take it off and put on my 126610. I think the only other modern sports watches that match that wearability would be the OP or Explorer I, but I find the Daytona visually a bit more interesting with the benefit of an added complication.

Nothing wrong with that…find and wear what you love.
The Rolex’s you mentioned are 3 of the best Rolex’s anyway imo… |

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

I also only kept my AMG GT Roadster for about 4 months because it didn't fit. Gonna try the new coupe though... I'm sure I'll get dog piled for that too! |

Not everybody's taste. Lots of great chrono options out there - AP, VC, Omega, Seiko... FIFY.

After 5 Daytonas (in steel, gold, and platinum) I came to the same conclusion. Sadly not the model for me.
