Hello people,

I see that there are always lots of active threads relating to Daytonas.

Would you guys call me crazy if I said I didn't like them at all

Anyone else out there who thinks the same?

Jack.

ohsixx · 22 September 2007, 08:48 PM

Maybe a few, but not to many!

EvEr34 · 22 September 2007, 08:51 PM

I wouldn't call you crazy at all. I'm not a big fan of the SS versions but love the WG option.

ohlins · 22 September 2007, 08:51 PM

well it's a free world out there ......and of cos if u dun the daytona, it's really alright...:)

Heavens no! Weird maybe!

What a boring place if everyone had the same views on everything.

Blue Bull · 22 September 2007, 09:54 PM

I agree,I cant stand the design,absolutely awful.

Hi Jack, yes there are a few of us lurking about under stones who aren't that crazy about the Daytona.

As Mike points out - different strokes.......and all that

walds11 · 22 September 2007, 10:09 PM

Blame it on Blue Bull!!! LOL!!!

Andad · 22 September 2007, 11:12 PM

Yeah, he has most of them.

Not forgetting the ones he hasn't even told us about yet.

Solar · 22 September 2007, 11:39 PM

The Daytonyas are beautiful in person, but for me, I would have a problem not having the date function.

As such, its not my first Rolex pick.

Hey you must watch out for that Blue Bull chap....

I dont trust him.I have an idea he may just have some more surprises left

Time will tell,thats IF he decides to let you know about any new endevours ......

SLR · 23 September 2007, 12:52 AM

so you wanted to know why daytona's are hard to find...

JAD3703 · 23 September 2007, 12:55 AM

Yep, Blue Bull is single-handedly ensuring that Daytonas remain rare through his aggressive acquisition strategy!

Actually, I'm still on the fence about the Daytona. I cannot make up my mind whether I like it or not. Having said that, I am still madly in love with my Omega SMP 300M Chrono Diver (from 2000), so am good in the chrono department, at least for now.

Although if Blue Bull feels like sending one of his to me for a trial run, I'll cheerfully give it a go!

I hate them to pieces...find me one and I will take it off the market so we won't have to see it...

zeravince · 23 September 2007, 04:15 AM

watch is like a beauty of a woman...some people give her 10 points and the other give her 3. I would not call you crazy because everybody has a different point of view and we have to respect it

Live and let live

I don't like Daytonas no matter what the bracelet. Four dials plus a cyclops? That would be way too much going on in a wrist watch for me.

However, I greatly appreciate SS Daytona Mania because it keeps the heat off the watches that speak to me: Subs, GMTs, Explorers and Air-Kings.

And like Chris said,

On 2 occasions last year I was in my AD when they had SS Daytonas in stock. I've tried on both the black and white dial versions, and they just didn't do anything for me, certainly nothing to warrant the $1,500 over MSRP "buyer's premium".

I have to admit, though, that some of the TT versions are good looking, and the meteorite dial Daytona is stunning!

Indeed, Al. And that MOP one that JJ keeps posting is a real knockout!!!

Are you refering to the hairy man who lets the sun shine while he climbs the ladder and cant decide whether it's live or death !!!???

No,it does not include rugby ...

What you should be concentrating on is your 1/4 final match with the French !! Sad to see the ABs go so soon.Remember 1999 ???

SPACE-DWELLER · 23 September 2007, 08:31 AM

Welcome to TRF, Jack!

Some like the Daytona, some don't like it.

It is all a matter of personal preference and taste!

Chris B · 24 September 2007, 04:52 AM

Right you are, Chris. A note from the AD... "Congratulations, Mr./Mrs./Ms. "Your name here", your beautiful new Daytona will be shipped to you here in the Fall of 2032. We sincerely hope you enjoy your new watch!"

supermarz · 24 September 2007, 11:26 AM
