chronext price just went down by £16k overnight. Its is now slightly below retail. It was £36k previously. Not that that is the definitive authority on pricing, but below retail already is good news.

They are fantastic. It would be the white or yellow gold for me.

They are stunning, for sure.

Big fan of the oyster flex bracelet too. Coupled with the easy link clasp, this should be a huge home run.

If I didn't already have an oyster flex in the collection, one of these would probably be making its way into the box.

Had the chance to try the rose gold piece in my local AD, really stunning and the rubber is quite amazing. Someday...

I think a Daytona on a strap (of any kind) is for a second or third Daytona. It's more of a specialty piece to me. If I were only going to have one Daytona, it would be on a bracelet. Just my opinion.

Amendment: I suppose if you have a large collection, having your only Daytona on a strap might also work.

I totally get the bracelet argument. But, rubber > leather on a sports watch IMHO if you don't want a bracelet


Agree! Rubber is more practical than leather in sport model

I've only seen the black SkyD and want to see the blue when they are out, but as I have the blue YM I'm probably covered. Three years is long, like twenty one in TRF years, so you are due!

That's encouraging.
