8. Dardeca offered me a great deal
9. I really wanted it
10. Did I mention it looks really very cool...

Alan we have the same watch, I got mine in the summer of '98, paid 6k tax included, the watch has been great all these years and needed only one service so far about 6 years back, how as yours held up? Mine has some wear on the bezel from the 65 to the units per hour.

BASSETHOUNDS · 14 February 2010, 01:12 AM

It's a Daytona . what else ?

dardeca · 14 February 2010, 01:15 AM

To me, it is the best looking Rolex out there!

It is as you see it, Jay. That photo was taken last year, I believe. I purchased mine "grey market" back in 2006. It was pristine when I bought it, and has remained so. It had been serviced by the dealer from whom I purchased it. It is the most accurate of all of my Rolex watches. Just a superb timepiece in every way!

I KNOW you enjoy yours. They will last us a lifetime, as will all of our other Rollies!!!

Modern classic.

Kapture1 · 14 February 2010, 01:40 AM

I hated the Daytona when I first got into Rolex... now, I want one really really bad... go figure

ESKO · 14 February 2010, 01:43 AM

The Air that surrounds it
The history
The ability to keep accurate track times is i ever needed it

The heft of the watch
But mostly for me, the styling of the watch hits it home!
I do love this watch!!!!

kcmo · 15 February 2010, 03:15 AM

The Daytona isn't for everyone....but the same holds true for all of the other models Rolex make

....To me, it is CLASS, BEAUTY, SPORT, ELEGANCE, and more! Love 'em!!!!!

DDG · 15 February 2010, 04:15 AM

Guys like curves, contours, and gadgets. The Daytona has it all.

cdnwatchguy · 15 February 2010, 04:23 AM

Always been a chrono guy, wanted one forever and finally was able to afford one, BNIB from an AD. My favourite watch bar none.

Call me a heretic, but make it in 40mm and I'll think about it.

Rolesor · 18 February 2010, 06:52 AM

The Daytona is definitely a cool watch but to be honest the SS models never really do it for me.

BUT

When I hold a Solid gold model or even one with a leather band... WOW it just screams at me in a way that makes me realize I'll never afford it hahaha

and then there's the Rose Gold Daytona... RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME.. man forget about it haha

marcinthemiddle · 18 February 2010, 06:54 AM

Hmmm...you know Atomant- It seems like you were bitten by the Daytona bug in a previous thread: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...na+pics&page=6

Have you since changed your mind about it being "stunning"?

rfknauss · 18 February 2010, 07:08 AM

Got to love the Rolex Daytona ...... wouldn't mind adding one to my collection. Simply because it is one beautiful Rolex!
