I like a clean, simple dial. Expy II is as far as I go with complications.

I waited 3 years before I got the call from my AD. I bought a white dial Daytona, got it home and realized that I didn't like it. I really like having a date on my watches. So I sold it within a week of buying it.

I love having the option to wear my SS Daytona & sometimes do but I prefer to where my GMT or Sub.

I am surprised this post generated so many responses as I have read many praises about the Daytona. I thought I was the only one in here that wasn't impressed by the Daytona. I am really not into the Daytonas....I think it is really unfortunate that it doesn't have a date on it as well....

Two thumbs down...

If we all had the same likes/dislikes the world would be a pretty boring place.

The Daytona's 4130 calibre is still considered to be one the world's best chrono movements; but that stationary chrono hand would just about drive me nuts!!

A buddy of mine tried giving me sh#t about my "broken" overpriced Rolex awhile back when he noticed the "second hand" wasn't working on my Daytona.

I'm still undecided on the Daytona, I know that it certainly doesn't do for me what the Sea Dweller, Sub Date, and GMT II do. I find the recently discontinued Sea Dweller and the Sub Date to be the perfect watches to my eye...nothing can trump them. When I where my SD I just stare at it for no particular reason sometimes. Just a personal opinion.

No shame in this. If it is not for you then so what?
I love my Exp II but not every one does.Who cares.

Ha!! Yeah, funny. The thread starter is very brave indeed..... He should be elivated to 3rd in command chief watch winder, just for his bravado...... I myself quite agree with him, (and JJ though i hate to admit it in regard to the second chrono hand thingy) Never seen what the fuss is about myself. Although the black faced Daytona is not too bad, i still cant understand why anyone would buy a watch that times your lap to the nth degree, but cant tell you on what date you did it!!
