Itching for another Daytona
 
Am I crazy , I am trying to talk myself out of it but I love mine so much I am actually thinking about adding another to my collection. It will be my second rolex. Does this make sense and how many of you have done the same ? I think because there are so many variations of the watch it makes it so different. I love not having to worry about adjusting the date and love how it sits flat on my wrist without being heavy and bulky. Another reason is that I have two kids a boy and a girl and would like to give them one each of a watch I loved all my life.

Go for it!

Of course, I doubt you'll find many on here who will tell you, "Forget it. One's enough!":chuckle:

Hey, you do have two wrists.... :cheers:

dalip 25 November 2010 10:52 AM

Currently thinking exactly the same thing.....sounds to me like you've made up your mind. If you have the funds ... I wouldn't even blink!!!

petethepilot 25 November 2010 10:56 AM

Go with the two toned white faced daytona, It looks stunning and it's an unusual version of the watch! It's also my avatar picture! :)

Dr. Robert 25 November 2010 10:58 AM

my vote's for the TT Daytona, w/ the champagne dial/black sub dials "Paul Newman" dial.

Caught the Daytona bug bad this summer had this one aswell for about 36h before i sold it to a friend at work:rofl::rofl:

nyfida 25 November 2010 11:11 AM

Yes the tt daytona is an option . My friend has a zenith white faced tt and its beautiful. I also love the Paul Newman 18 ct versions and zenith ss with brown dials. Decisions decisions .....your right its a sickness but a fun one. :thumbsup:

dddrees 25 November 2010 11:12 AM

Really can't have too many if you can afford it and you want it.

You got my vote, did you really think we would say no???????

Yeah, you could of said its redundant or why another chronograph ? Thanks for your feedback guys I appreciate it.

it's a damn addiction - I burned through three daytonas in the last month - a SS - then WG then a 6239 - I fear my next purchase.... I may need help. This vintage thing is a true addiction.

My suggestion is keep buying them - it is fun - much more rewarding than other bad habits!

i think if you have a comex sub you don't need to worry about buying a few daytonas!

Wow thats a real cool daytona. Nice collection if you still have them. Your right though theres worst habits out there. For example I would lose money on depreciation from cars and trying to make them faster. Since I got into this hobby I think its money well spent.

dhh 25 November 2010 11:33 AM

The 5514 just got retired as my daily wear watch and am searching for another vintage watch that is invisible but with some personalty. It seems that some variation of an old cosmograph fits the bill..

Steelfish 25 November 2010 12:48 PM

I would get one, two or three if I had the means and the right reasons....I say go for it!!!

Speechless. Absolutely speechless...

Not crazy just in love with the reference. I have the SS Black and the TT White face.
Love them both.

yemenmocha 25 November 2010 02:05 PM

I couldn't resist having two Daytonas. I didn't plan it that way. It just happened. http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n.../Watches/7.jpg

Sorry, I can only give you my opinion.

Besides we are known to be enablers here, we typically don't perform interventions.

Shade 26 November 2010 09:37 AM

Don't we all have the same itch? Hehehe..

esm 26 November 2010 10:23 AM

Yep Norman.

Same itch, different watch(es) :chuckle:

whiskyguy 26 November 2010 10:47 AM
