Every post on the new Daytona immediately refers to how hard it is/was to obtain it which means the wearers are Rolex posers - being more excited about having a scarce watch than the watch itself. If you could go out to a Rolex AD tomorrow and obtain one then the lust/excitment about it would wear o

Thanks to everyone for responding so far. I wonder why GS decided not to give it perhaps a more unique look? For example it bares some similarity to the SBGA 011 minus the date window.
