Evening Gents, i've not been on for a while.

Anyway, since getting my Black Face SS DAytona a month ago i just thought i'd report how i've found living with it.

I must say that it is a very comfortable watch to wear (compared with my Breitling it's very light weight).

It also attracts a lot of attention. People i have met that have asked about it don't believe it's real, not many people in my town own a Rolex!!!

I do derive great pleasure in wearing it and it does make me feel special everytime i look at it, which is what it's all about.

Can't wait to get a Milgauss!!!!

Welcome to the Dayona club! I feel the same way

I love my breitling, it give me the feel of wearing a chunky watch...However, love wearing my lighter sub when going to special occasions, or just for the heck of it.

i have some drama every time i wear the daytona , love the sub better.

It does wear 'nicely'. Now that you've got that, which Mil are you picking up? You'll love the lume on that watch!

Glad your are enjoying it.

chenx15 · 5 April 2009, 06:50 AM

me too! the ss daytona is my favourite! specially the white dial!

I find the Daytona gets the most looks, even more than my Platinum DD! Especially when I am on the train in Tokyo.

I do love the watch, but it doesn't get much wrist time.

It's been only 1 week since I purchased my SS Daytona and I am loving it too!

i wear my WG 116509, but i admit i like to keep a long sleeve over it and kinda keep it "for my eyes only"

Love the SS Daytona, I tried one on yesterday and it really isn't too big at all which is what I like. Very comfortable to wear. It feels just like a DD on a 6.5' wrist on me. Mine's 7 1/4'.

good to know you're enjoying your daytona.

nice choice on a blk one...congrats....

Enjoy! I have also noticed that a Sub LV gets more stares from people, whereas the Daytona is only noticed by the ones that know.

sbakar · 5 April 2009, 03:15 PM
