congrats OP on a fantastic buy...even I began my Rolex fever with a Daytona...
Joleel7 - thanks for looking out anyways I typically leave the chrono pushers unscrewed during the day as I tend to keep billable time with it. I've found the locking pushers to be a good feature to make sure I don't accidentally start the chrono or reset it before I've had time to record the time somewhere. If a client ever asks why I would spend so much money on a watch, I can say it's actually to save them money!

Ha...you didn't mention this during our lengthy conversation earlier today! Nice way to justify the purchase.

A gold daytona with white dial would be a nice pair

when I got mine, the pusher protectors continually unscrewed, I was probably afraid of over tightening!

Nice "first" Rolex.... what next indeed?

Sub?
GMT II?
Yatchmaster?

mmmm, June 14, what did you buy next? keep us updated.

You have a very good piece to enter the Rolex brand, I would suggest anything with a rotating bezel.
