Automotive
Cazalea shares a lighthearted yet insightful post exploring his attraction to 'bling,' sparked by a classic car show and a serendipitous watch acquisition. His photo essay, featuring a shiny red car, his vintage bicycle, and a Rolex Daytona, prompts readers to consider the allure of polished aesthetics in both automotive and horological contexts. This post invites community reflection on personal tastes and the unexpected connections between different passions.
That surely is among the most tasteful (and practical) bling you could acquire. Wear it in good health -- you will gain arm strength!
A Daytona... There are some who waited up to 3 or 4 years before getting one. Ok, this was the 16520, the so called Dayto Zenith, and not this version, so called Dayto Rolex. But you will, or certainly already had, feel / felt the magic of this Watch. So, yes, why not??? Come on, show us your blingy side! ;) Best, Nicolas
Nicolas, I came close to buying a white dial version last year, have toyed with gold ones, lusted after a meteorite dial ... (Photo from the web) avoided the Zeniths because I\'ve already had two Zenith El Primero chronos, and suddenly fell for this one. Of course a reliable seller, local deal and good price helped too!

with a natural choice for it on the wrist! Wonderful - I have the exact same model. So does my business partner. We enjoy admiring each one at a distance. The only thing missing is the bike. Strange - I never noticed before that "Daytona" is printed in red. Not bling but stealth? SO glad that mine is back again in perfect condition. (It got lost in the laundry.) For the complete story, see my thread on the Rolex Forum. Cheers! amerix
Nooooooo. Don't ride around with that on your wrist! As a fellow purist and a bike fanatic, I can tell you from personal experience that fine watches and fine bicycles don't mix. It makes for a very expensive crash! That said, nice watch. And nice bike... what brand/maker it?
