IF it gets to 30% (who knows how long or if ever), it will start to make this one a contender for sure. I really didn't like it at first, but the Rolex marketing is working on F1 commercials

yes ....love Formula 1, Vettel is in a class by himself, just like this Daytona. Personally though I would spring for a used Bentley first...

It's without doubt a stunning piece but at £50k, you have to question the value aspect and the fact that the same watch bar the actual metal is available at a fraction of the price......

So for me, even though I've got the WG Sub, which I'm sure a lot of people would say the same point applies, it just concentrates the mind more at £50k...... since it starts moving into more complicated watch territory or even the start of vintage PN Daytona pricing......

But didn't stop me going for a try ......

Loved the weight and mesmerising blue dial but had reservations about the brown bezel and brown sub dials...... So not for me.

Tried one on today. I do love the platinum heft and glacier is my favorite dial color but couldn't get past the chestnut. Seems to really give the watch very casual vibe.

I don't wear much brown so it's not really going to be on my short list.

Better in person

My buddy came over Saturday and showed me his. It's an amazing piece! At least twice as heavy as my SS Daytona, but wasn't too bad once I put it on. (and didn't want to take it off!) He can afford it, so good for those whose can.
