It looks nice inside the display case but disapears on my wrist and I am only 6 feet tall and 195 lbs. does anyone else have a simiular problem with the Daytona?
I feel the same way about mine and i am about the same height and weight as you' Sonny'

Remember this is not about investment ! it's about what you like!
The Daytona and the YM are my two favourite makes You are golden for having the YM, now it's time for the elegance of the Daytona!

I am with JJ! All 40mm look big enough. The big watch thing will be what it truly is... Fashion, and leave accordingly. Not fact, just a hunch.

I think it's perfect. Why make it bigger?? Why make ANY of them bigger than they need to be?? If Rolex decided to MAX everything in their current line up, I would never touch the brand again for the simple reason that pimped out "bling" is not the reason I like Rolex. To me they would be heading in completely the wrong direction...

My obligatory two cents: the Daytona is just right; I have a huge PO Chrono and I get a lot of stares when I walk around town with it strapped to my wrist.
And some of those stares aren't just the admiring kind!

I'm in the construction business and I can't be choosy about where I have to go to get the right materials or skills.
So for me, 39/ 40mm is just right- I can wear it anywhere, anytime and the only people who'd know it's a Rolex would be wearing Rolexes themselves.
'nuff said.

It still looks the best on your wrist, Karis!

What's there to argue?

Daytona 40mm
Daytona II 43-44mm with maybe a date

Choice is good.
