I tried on a white face Daytona lat my AD last week, and a black face a couple of months ago. What they did for me was.............nothing. Just a watch with no date feature. The hype is that they're made of Unobtainium. Then I tried on the platinum YM again and it didn't sing to me, it was the full blown Vienna Boys Orchestra. I LOVE that watch!!! If I could find an even trade for my TT black Sub I'd do it in a heartbeat. Any plat YM owners here?

Can't say I blame you, Alcan. The SS/Pt.YM is a beaut!!

The Oysterlock bracelet on this baby is ALL SOLID LINKS and the centre links are polished giving the watch a very "pricey" look to match up with the solid Platinum bezel and stunning Pt. dial.

Excellent choice, I say!! Go for it!! Good luck!!

Sorry not a fan of the modern Daytona,and in my watches prefer just plain old S.steel

Don't own a YM, but I wouldn't mind a Pt/SS one. It's a beautiful watch, much nice than the Daytona. Go for it.

Hello, JJ ;-)

JJ Irani · 20 November 2006, 04:06 AM

What a fantastic picture there, Dennis!!

worktolivelife · 20 November 2006, 04:12 AM

Here's another pic showing the Daytona clasp/rapid adjustment link fitted, it really makes a difference and gives the watch a much greater overall quality feel and look IMO!

but still not for me!

it's really hard to tell. i'm still considering but isn't it hard to get daytona than yacht.?

Lns888 · 13 March 2013, 09:37 AM

Daytona for me its all around watch simply elegant...IMO

Miamipawnsab · 13 March 2013, 10:38 AM

I had the yacht master platy and loved it but traded a sea dweller and a yachtmaster for daytona. Daytona to me is just at another level. Yacht master felt like a sub with bling and had two other subs I wanted a little more variety. I see it this way it was harder to obtain the daytona because of the cost so I had a chance and traded for it. You can always pick up a yachtmaster ss you can purchase two yachtmaster for the price of one daytona IMHO second hand market

nick c · 13 March 2013, 10:40 AM

Daytona

kickz_1 · 13 March 2013, 10:50 AM

Daytona for sure!

Congrats on breathing new life into this >6 year old thread.

Kiddodoc · 13 March 2013, 10:23 PM

If it's my only Rolex, I would lean to the YM due to the date feature. If I had another rolex with a date then I would go Daytona.
