[QUOTE=PenDelicate;13455180]Honestly, OP, you're right. I bought a neo-vintage PM Daytona in April this year, have worn it daily ever since, and it's in tatters. The bezel particularly looks like it's been on the battlefield. I can't say it's disgusting, but ... it's unsightly. Every time I see the watch peeping-out from under a cuff, I automatically cover it up in case anyone sees it.

And it didn't take long to reach this state. Shortly after I bought it, I had to take a trip, and when the Monaco customs-guard saw it he said (I'll never forget it), "Usually we ask for papers confirming ownership, but in your case ... you have my sympathies, sir."

Another experience I had while making a purchase was when I saw two sales reps across the room genuinely tittering at one another as they glanced over at me. I can't be sure, but I feel certain they were discussing my Daytona and its poor state. That's one Ferrari-dealership that has lost my custom.



Can you clarify please, were they talking about your Rolex Daytona or your Ferrari Daytona parked outside?
