Well why it's "so expensive" has little to do with the functions, though a chrono is obviously more complex than a Sub or GMT. The SS Daytona's pricing is based on demand. Remember, in most areas of luxury sales, "cost" is only loosely linked to "price."

Assuming, that this isn't a giant leg pulling, the "pushers" as they are called run a stop watch function. In addition to measuring elapsed time, with the bezel employed, you'll be able to measure time over a know distance ( in this case some fraction or multiple of a mile) to determine the speed of the vehicle.

Personally, I find the bezel to be pure cosmetics, and prefer cleaners chronos by AP and VC among others, though enjoyed owning an SS Daytona while I had it. I do use the stopwatch function from time to time though and the Rolex chrono movement has been deemed by many experts to be among the best. It's simple, inexpensive to service and easy to repair.

If you like the looks and can live without a date function you can be assured that you'll always be able to get most or all of your money back -- SS Daytonas are SUPER popular.

It has a chronograph feature, the 3 sub-dials on the main dial can be used to track time with a push of the button at the 2 o'clock position.

Are you sure?

I thought one of the Sub Dials is for the Second Hand, the Seconds in stop watch mode measured by the central Second hand???
