My dad is one of those guys who doesnt wear a nice watch everyday, he will wear a beater and wear something nice on the weekends/occassions. He has Breitling,Chopard,Charriol,Cartier,Piaget, and a mk2 Speedmaster he hasnt worn in ages. And might I add he is not a WIS he just buys what he likes on impulse.

Well since I got my Daytona about 15 months ago, I guess it grew on him! He asked me to get a price from a friend in the business and he put a deposit down today on a YG Daytona with white dial

I cant wait to try that baby on!! I will update with pics hopefully by the weekend.

Maybe your dad could become a member here, too? That would be cool!

I think it's a good idea!!! BTW Daytona is a GREAT choice!!!

Defiancekofb · 28 March 2008, 11:12 PM

Congratulations! Your father is probably brimming with excitement!.

Texsubmariner · 28 March 2008, 11:19 PM

Your Dad, seems like he is a WIS, whether he realizes it or not! Good for him.

Floridadogg · 28 March 2008, 11:29 PM

I love my SS Daytona and will never get rid of it. Daytona is the only Rolex that I like except a blue dial sub. I would love to see Rolex make the SS with a blue dial or maybe another striking color...(RED)? But I know Rolex is stodgy and will not do so. WG with meteorite is my next goal. AND I would like to see a 43mm case. Now you all can that I am a DIS........Daytona Idiot Savant.

frostie · 28 March 2008, 11:33 PM

Your dad did a great choice

I am sure that he is going to love the watch

vukotab · 29 March 2008, 12:09 AM

WOW!Your dad MUST borrow it to you sometimes!

My father would put a rent on it

Solo118 · 29 March 2008, 08:39 AM

HEHE thanks guys... I hope I can borrow it on ocassion, but I know for sure this one is going to only come out a few times a year (what a shame I wear my TT Daytona nearly every day until I settle down on a daily SS watch)

kcmo · 29 March 2008, 08:55 AM

Looking forward to pics!

Nothing like getting the lift up to the penthouse - what a fantastic first entry into the Rolex arena

I'm sure he (and you!) will be delighted with his new puchase when it arrives

YG Daytona (with PN dial) - probably my grail - great 1st Rolex

Art 1 · 29 March 2008, 10:22 AM

That's a fine choice, one of my favorites.
