buy what you want not what we want. I love my daytona! specially in a suit it just looks amazing.

keschete · 8 December 2009, 12:57 PM

You can get a Datejust any time, the Daytona is hard to get and an all time classic! If you have a chance, get it!!!

Watchdog · 8 December 2009, 01:43 PM

Daytona!

dman · 8 December 2009, 03:00 PM

Never had the DJ2 on the wrist, but I love the original DJ, it gets worn on a fairly regular basis.

But the Daytona has found a way to steal almost all the wrist time for me the last year. I actually only take it off to play golf, and that is only because it is uncomfortable. I really like everything about this watch.

Especially my sons name on the caseback.

Daytona,

I think it's a fashion effect, the DJII, if you want to still classic, Dayto is the best way to join the way

deserted · 9 December 2009, 02:28 AM

Daytona my friend , Daytona!!!!

ocwatching · 9 December 2009, 02:29 AM

Daytona..and I am not a big fan of it...better value

JJ Irani · 9 December 2009, 02:32 AM

Both are excellent watches - you need to try them both on and see which one really appeals to YOU.

After all, you're the one who's going to be wearing it and YOU should be completely satisfied with your purchase.

Good luck in your final decision,

JJ

pz93c · 9 December 2009, 02:34 AM

Go with the try them both on option.

I don't like either so I won't tout one above the other.

I wanted to say the same thing and ask him instead to go for the GMT-IIC, but since those were the only options, I desisted!!

so now its over 3 months since this thread was first made..... whats the hold up/verdict?

neptunebeach · 9 December 2009, 03:20 AM

I do not like the Daytona for some reason. I do not understand their popularity. They look like a cheap breitling to me. Sorry Daytona fans. Loving my datejust II. Also, anything smaller than the 41mm datejust seems so darn small. My wife thinks anything smaller looks femine.

ouch... that'd offend most people here....

to be fair, even though a DJII is 41mm, but the overall size (ie. dial + bezel + case) is not bigger than most 40mm Rolex sports watches

picture tells a thousand words

jimwatchman · 9 December 2009, 03:26 AM

Daytona all the way >>>>>:)

or

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Stainless Steel
Daytona is sporty but do not know if I get tired of Cosmograph

what would recommend???

jimwatchman · 9 December 2009, 03:28 AM

JUSTROLEXES · 9 December 2009, 03:41 AM

You can not go wrong with the Daytona

submariner16610 · 9 December 2009, 03:54 AM

daytona.. so what did u get?

DWdrummer · 9 December 2009, 04:01 AM

I dont care for the 41mm Rolex models at all. The whole beauty of those dress models was the understated elegance and beauty. While "small" by today's standards they are plenty big at 36mm for dress attire.

I would go with a Daytona all day long.

hennabav · 9 December 2009, 04:17 AM

Hmm...I guess everyone has decided for you already. Daytona it is then!!

BaZe · 9 December 2009, 05:00 AM

If the DJ II in 41 mm had not arrived, i would not wore a Rolex... For us with large wrists a 36mm is way to small, and a Daytona looks funny on a larger wrist.... I say either a 41mm DJ or mabye if Rolex had made a 44 mm Daytona.... :)
