granted they don't come in precious metal, if you like the daytona look and want a date, a nice Tudor big block would be the watch for you...

That's very true Neil.

I just got my first Daytona and really the lack of date has never been an issue for me. In fact it's my first no-date watch. There are so many other aspects of a timepiece that you admire.

You don't mess with heritage. The plat Daytona is what the next 12-15 years or so Daytona will be based on.

The date is a deal breaker for me. I can't wear a watch without the date function. It just feels odd to me. I know I can get the date from the phone, computer etc... and also i can get the time through those devices but for me the watch should have the time and date as a minimum. I actually never look at my phone for time or date, I am used to looking at my watch.

Anyway, if Rolex make the Daytona with date, I would definitely go for one.

I don't miss it at all. Haven't had to employ this strategy just yet though.

Sir that date it's wrong, you need to adjust the date.
