A few pictures of my new Oysterflex Daytona
Jan 06, 2020,10:24 AM
I was lucky to receive this Daytona right before the end of the year, and I must say I’ve been quite taken by it. The combination of colors sing to me, and the oysterflex strap is fantastic: sporty, robust, comfortable, and easily sturdy enough to handle the weight of the rose gold case. I love the feeling of a true sports watch in a precious metal - a certain cool factor that is a noticeable difference from my stainless sports pieces. Aside from being very comfortable, the strap also balances the flash of the gold extremely well, in my opinion, so that it doesn’t feel too flashy. I previously owned an all rose gold Daytona, and while I always liked the look of it, it felt to flashy to wear in most situations to me - my own mental block I know, but it kept me from enjoying it, so it had to go. While I’ve only had this one for a short time now, it feels like a keeper. Thank you for seeing and reading. Have a good week, everyone.

I can fully understand your points and i can literally feel your emotions, which is great. On all but the last picture, the strap has some greenish mixed into it. I know that its not actually the case but it shows in another example how nice this watch pl...

The chocolate tones really resonate with me, too. I’d say it feels as good on the wrist as it looks, too.
You mentioned “Lucky” to receive this Daytona....

That brings a deep thought what a change in this watch collection world... It’s an expensive hobby and luxury and we pay top dollars but we’re like having to be “bestow” a watch, lol.... I know what you mean, not that clueless anyways Congrats again my fr...
Haha. You’re certainly not wrong, my friend.

It’s a strange time we live in regarding watches. When the tide eventually turns, it will be very entertaining to watch attitudes and behaviors change.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I’m in full agreement on how you think of this watch versus the all gold (case and bracelet). For me also there are limited settings in which the all gold could be comfortably worn. For those same reasons I’ve been chasing this same Oysterflex (either thi...

This is a gorgeous watch, and you wear it perfectly 👌🏻 I perfectly understand your feelings, as I'm feeling exactly the same with my rose YM 😉 Thanks for describing it so precisely. I've been wearing mine continuously for 3 weeks now and really love it. B...

You are very kind 😁 That rose YM has exactly the same kind of feel. It’s a stunning watch, and I’m sure you’re enjoying it a ton. I understand your feelings on being most comfortable in white metals. I tend to think they are more versatile no matter what ...
I fully agree, my friend, I couldn't have said it better 😉

You're totally right, the charm and the feel of the colored gold are very special. And this rose Rolexes are really top. It would never be my one and only watch, but I'm (we're) very fortunate to have it and enjoy it in certain specific moments/periods 😊 ...
Cheers, my friend!🍻
