As a first watch, I wouldn't recommend it. But in a collection, yes.
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
Do I have a thing for bling?
I was riding my bike last week and stopped to look at a car show on the lawns of a city park. I was attracted to this red job with lots of chromie bits on top. It kinda went nicely with my bicycle. I asked the owner if I could take Rosalie home. He said N...
Another Purist succumbs!
That surely is among the most tasteful (and practical) bling you could acquire. Wear it in good health -- you will gain arm strength!

Ah well, I waited 10 years
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. ...

now that's the way to get around
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 re...
Don't Do It...!
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......
I was told a case when a biker fell with his platinum IWC Grande Complication on his wrist
This was definitely a VERY expensive crash, since the watch had to be virtually rebuilt from scratch. I drew my consequences .... and stopped using the bike; can't be without my watch. Marcus
Does that mean you have a Plat Grand Complication?
Ok, I promise, won\'t wear the Daytona bike riding. I can\'t read it easily at arms length anyway. I can wear this to match the red cables... Mike ...
Ah, that one too!
We have two things in common. It has become a daily wind. Time to change straps. amerix
Caz, I don't believe it! You REALLY have a neighbor who is camera-shy and is named WILSON?
LMAO!!! And, apparently, you are used to ask him for advice? Is your real name Tim Taylor?? :) http://1. Your interest in that particular car would also exactly match the profile ... Amused regards, and a special ToolTime greeting .... eehh ... grunt: <...
No, I'm not Tim Taylor & the bike is a Schwinn Paramount from 1972
Closest I\'ve been to Tim Allen is watching Galaxy Quest about 10 times - a great fusion of Star Trek and Tool Time. I met His sidekick Al, and I know Dave McFadzean, who with two friends created and wrote all the "Home Improvement" shows. And yes, my shy...
thats a real blingster of a watch.
not something that i could own but very nice quality piece which suits you. best G
Very nice bling! :)
Congrats to your new "bling"! :) when I read the title I was affraid that it would be a lot of stones on the dial... Best Blomman
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the allusion . . .
. . . of the vanity plate, RSALLI . :-) . . .
No one is as multi-dimensional in their knowledge of R & B
as you are Art, whereas since getting back on my bike, I have somehow become a Mustang Convertible spotter (click here to go to AUTOMOTIVE Forum and see if this constitutes a collection) Cazalea PS: ...
You have a thing
:) That is great catch my favorite Daytona combo and the bike is just perfect! Custom? Best regards D
Schwinn Paramount P13 ca 1972
Made by hand, silver-soldered by a couple old ladies in a garage in Wisconsin but retailed through bike shops as the top Schwinn model in their line. I bought it for myself on my 21st birthday so have had it now (counting on fingers) 41 years. It's basica...
Mike thank you
for additional info on bike Fine piece of machinery for sure Like it a lot Living in America..ahh..well...we are not all so lucky Best Damjan
This IS Bling !
:-) But I am quite attracted to a Rolex Daytona, especially with black dial and the original Zenith El Primero movement........ Regards, MTF (who used to have a hand-brazed Reynolds 531 alloy bicycle when he was 21 years old....counting fingers.......) ...
