I've owned most Rolex models, I did a first today....
Out of the blue my AD called to ask me if I wanted a white dial SS Daytona. Now keep in mind this is also my Panerai AD so they know me rather...erm...at least my wallet....very well.
![]() Well, at first I had no intention of taking it, then starting thinking and decided that not only did I want it, I am having her engrave the back. Not with my name, but that of my five year old son, Dylan Kawika. I plan to wear it in the regular rotation but one day down the road I will give it to my son when I feel like the time is right. Never considered myself a Daytona guy, but as of next week I guess I am now. Just wanted to share this little story with you guys. I'll post pics next week when it lands. Best, D ![]()

Funny you say that. I've always considered myself a chrono guy, but I think the hype turned me off till recently. And after I paid for the watch today I had a lesson and low and behold my student was wearing a white dial Daytona (yes, he hit golf balls for the entire hour wearing it, LOL!!!) and all I could think was.....DAMN, why did I wait so long.
![]() I've turned down no less than 4 at list from my various AD's, today I pulled the trigger and am very excited. To be honest, not much about watches excite me anymore, this one is. ![]()

Not about it being a Rolex, though it is a beautiful watch. But more about it being something that I will enjoy and then share with my main man.
Thanks bro!! LOL, It will mesh well with my Panerai, LOL! ![]()

Thanks Paul and Dennis. I have actually owned some version of every sports model from Rolex, except the Daytona so this should be cool.
