There you go a very simple date complication fix for Daytona owners.Rodger you should get a patent on that idea quick, you could make yourself a fortune.And if you could just design a smaller bit of paper as well.

Yeah, but I can assure you that IF the Daytona had a date feature, it would have a cyclops. How do I know? Because I'm a high-level tosser, that's why!

Of course it's a fake. The real one is a Daytona DD. Does yours have a double quickset? If it doesn't that's more evidence it's a Wongtyme Folex.

and just because Rolex knows how much JJ (Rolex's number one customer) loves the look, the Daytona Bigdate comes complete with a set of Nato straps and choice of colourful dials and bezels as well.
