Excellent review Bo. Very informative and well put together. It is people like you that keep me coming back. Great job!

jodaor · 8 December 2007, 10:53 AM

Bo,

Very nice. Thanks for sharing....

I think the best part is how it ends with a Martini!

CHEERS to you!

Thanks, fantastic thread.

This is exactly why I signed on to this forum. Thank you for your incredible work, Bo, and have a great New Year!

Very nice read. I think you should do a review on all the sport models and make it a sticky!!

SPACE-DWELLER · 10 January 2008, 05:49 PM

If I get a Milgauss GV, I will make a review of it.

ratmotortom · 14 January 2008, 04:50 AM

Just read this review very carefully. Nicely done. Makes me like my new Daytona even more.

kobieta · 21 January 2008, 02:25 AM

Thanks Bro, it's very interesting!

Andad · 9 February 2008, 10:27 AM

Bo

I removed one link (at 6 0'clock) from my Daytona SS. The link unscrewed perfectly with my SD Screwdriver.
I noticed that the screws have an external tube that slides over the screw and protects the link and the screw from wear. I didn't notice this on any of my other Rolex bracelets, DJ, DD, Sub, SD or GMT etc. Yours must be the same.
Perhaps you could add this to your review of the Daytona SS.

Eddie.

PS. The bracelet is now a perfect fit with the easy link springbar in the centre position.

Andad · 9 February 2008, 10:35 AM

By the way Bo.

There is only one correct way to make a Dry Martini.

1) Fill a chilled martini glass with cold Dry White Vermouth.

2) Pour it down the sink.

3) Refill the cold martini glass with Dry Gordons Gin from the freezer.

4) Add two green olives.

SPACE-DWELLER · 9 February 2008, 10:44 AM

Interesting info, Eddie!

Also on the Martini!

Jedi · 10 February 2008, 08:37 AM

Eddie, how's about pouring the vermouth into another chilled martini glass for a second dry martini rather than going straight into the gurgler??

Andad · 10 February 2008, 06:33 PM

I would not use second hand Vermouth for a proper Martini - thank you.

Arturo · 11 February 2008, 03:31 AM

What a fabulous review in terms of form, content, and display. Rolex should hire you and pay you in watches Bo.

SPACE-DWELLER · 11 February 2008, 07:57 AM

Thanks, Art!

Jedi · 11 February 2008, 10:13 AM

Oookay Eddie.. how about saving it for Coquielle St Jacque a'la Vermouth?? Baked scallops with a Vermouth sauce...

Former cook here, and always looking to save on kitchen waste, seems silly but I consider the bar part of the kitchen

Wonder how my Daytona would fare in the kitchen...

tandrup · 11 February 2008, 05:18 PM

Bo,

Thanks for your review - as always: very informational. I learn a little bit every time I read your posts.

You are welcome in Adelaide any time - I will supply all the ingredients you require.

Did you say Coquilles......yum.

I keep my Daytona in the kitchen as I do most of the cooking at home....there is no such thing as a 'former' cook.

TZL · 12 February 2008, 10:22 AM

Great Article !

Reading it helped inspire the new SS Daytona sitting on my wrist today !

topcat30093 · 15 February 2008, 05:44 PM

I have just read your great review Bo. As I am looking at buying one and I will certainly use your info, when making my descision.

bewithabob · 7 March 2008, 11:58 AM

Thank you for an excellent review.

CoJim · 7 March 2008, 01:01 PM

Excellent review. I was never very attracted to the Daytona but after seeing your detailed photos and description of the movement I may have to consider one.

Thanks, Jim

timackerman · 7 March 2008, 02:02 PM

The Daytona really is a great looking watch isn't it!!

SPACE-DWELLER · 7 March 2008, 05:31 PM
