Need a new grail ....

I am kinda leaning toward Daytona on a strap.

Please help me with some choices. So far I like a YG panda on a brown strap, WG Meteorite on a black strap. Anymore interesting genuine Rolex combos out there? Any thoughts?

Mike

I love the WG Meteorite on a black strap - sporty with subtle elegance. Cheers

I'd go for a new white-dial stainless steel Daytona (or put my name on the list of applicants - depending on availability in your area) or a vintage Tudor Chrono Time. I'm not an owner of either though. The Tudor Chronos seem underestimated.

I really like this one which one which was posted on this forum a while back... Wonder if you can get a Meteorite without the roman numerals.

Awesome watch. Anyone know if the Daytona with the black and red dial is available in SS or just in WG? (WG is the only way I have seen it)

This is the classic obsessive compulsive rolex fan. You obsess over a certain watch and it continues to eat at you until you cannot wait any longer and then the compulsiveness kicks in and makes you get it. Then you start the process all over again with the next one in line. LOL.

Look forward to seeing your list of possible candidates.

My grail watch is still a 14Kt or 18Kt Paul Newman vitage Daytona, seen them from 50K on up. Maybe in another ten years if prices fall by half.

I think that they would only go up in price

Wow, you want a new grail. I thought the term for grail was that there was no other watch you would ever ever want.

Daytona Panda thumbs up
