Daytona and small wrist
Any idea how small a write a ss/gold daytona will fit on? My wrist is about 6 1/2 inches. My datejust has all the extra links removed and the pin in the clasp is positioned in the middle.
Thanks, Rob |

Time to start Pumpin' Iron, my friend!! If you still haven't purchased the Daytona, have you considered a TT DJ....would be a much nicer fit!!

I actually have a TT Datejust. So the Daytona will be my second watch.

I think it fits pretty well, my wrist is only 6.25 and I wished that the Daytona could be a bit bigger, my daily beater is an Omega Planet Ocean which is a bit bigger and heavier than my SS Daytona. Sorry no wrist shot.

Yep!!!!!!!!!!Even I feel so
Also I've a very small wrist size abt 6.25" and I've owned many Breitlings including Chronomat Evolution and they all looked good so considering Rolex any Rolex would fit a 6.5" wrist perfectly

Just a question on the Daytona pic. Do you have the chrono function running all the time?

It's advisable to leave the Chrono function off unless required. If you never use it, I guess it would be advisable to run the function for a couple of hours now and then. That stationary Chrono hand drives me nuts!!

My wrist is 7" and I am concerned about the new GMT II and it's size. I take it the Daytona is bigger than the new GMT II?

On one of my visits to my AD they had a TT Daytona just in.
I was asked if I wanted to try it on as I was having another watch sized to my wrist. When the Manager opened it up and said here put your hand thru, I laughed and showed him how my hand wouldn't even go thru the fully opened bracelet. I offered to order the extra links then and there for the White Daytona that some day I might get a call for. The Manager just smiled at me. Not holding my breath.

Awesome pictures! I'm hoping to get it in the next few weeks. I'm checking on prices to see what is reasonable.

If you like gold then definitely I would suggest you to go with a TT Daytona and if SS is your taste then try to locate a SS for you. Also if you are considering a TT Daytona then try to get a preowned as TT loses significant value on resale.just my two cents

I know a guy who insisted that before he would pay for his wifes breast implants, he could get a wrist implant so his Rollie would look good!

With the Daytona, it's not just the size of the wrist that matters, it's the rest of the body!
