Hi everyone,

I'm a consultant gastroenterologist in Cheshire, Uk.
Have an obsession with good watches and recently got my dream watch a s/s Daytona (paid list)..... but somehow feel its a bit overrated

Other chosen poisons are cars....... another major vice

Looks like a great site with lots of information

Cheers,
Simon

No such thing as an overrated Rolex :-) Damn fine choice in watch you have there.

Hope its warming up nicely your way, miss my old home.

Welcome Simon.

I have to agree that the hype over the 116520 is a little overbearing but at least it's not a money pit, unlike the car thing.

I shudder to think how much money I've burned, car wise, yet the watches keep creeping up in value.
