At least the Daytona retains some decency, I think your first monster was worse.

You gotta wonder... Does the watchmaker building this watch secretly cry himself to bed at night thinking about how the terribleness he/she created that day?

Love the Daytona, just wish I had the spare change to buy it. The DD is an aftermarket monstrosity that I wouldn't want for free,,, OK if you twist my arm I'll take it and sell it for scrap.

I'm sorry, did you say 'monster' or *monstrosity*? I too like the Daytona - I'm a sucker for blue dials. Best, Mark.

Well somebody likes that stuff. They wouldn't keep making them if they didn't sell.

Not trying to take up for that f'ugly watch but people get mugged and killed everyday for old pairs of Air Jordans. Don't try to blame it on the watch.
