I ordered two steel Daytonas last year at my AD and received the white dial in December and will get the black this summer. Both for my sons, so they go unworn and with original plastic into the safe (one already is).
To me, this watch does not sing as much as my WG Daytona or my Platinum DD40. But for the boys this will be a nice gift after university to enjoy or possibly fund something...
After two years of waiting, I was fortunate to receive the call and obtain this wonderful 116500LN in black. To date, perhaps there has been really two watches that I\'ve had to wait longer than 2 years (a model from both Patek and AP which I\'m still wai...
It's an incredible watch at retail but at market there may be many other more incredible options out there. But I'm sure this one will always be desirable for everybody... Peter
I just asked my 15 year old to try it on, and he said “meh” and went back to his Apple Watch… 😂🤣 I might be in trouble convincing my son in the future! Cheers Peter
I like the gold Daytonas too, but I really like the idea of a ceramic bezel. Yes, I know the gold bezel is obviously much more valuable, but the ceramic bezel is practical. I also desire a bracelet. The only bracelet versions with the ceramic bezel are th...
I had previously considered the Platona but I’m beginning to shy away from heavy precious models on the wrist. Maybe I’m getting older, but wearing a huge hunk of gold or platinum bracelet just seems like for a less frequent formal occasion. I think that’...

Next to you: on a plane, in a cafe, near a sink, in a store, or just on a walk? It may be one of the most easily recognizable designs...maybe it's a reason for the hype... Peter ...
Then I would probably be calling around If anything, I recognize that my dealer's support for this should keep me keeping this on my wrist (or my son's wrist)! Cheers Peter
And that's the point, the Daytona is a great chronograph timepiece. Solid, reliable, and accurate. With apologies, yet the rest (mkt value) is just 'background noise' to me. Have already lived through three 'cycles' so am immune other than today's histori...
After wearing it a day, I recognize what a well constructed, robust, and iconic piece it is. I will try to beat it around for the next few weeks and travel to see if there are any new thoughts. Peter
I am fortunate to have one, well actually two. I have the white panda dial I purchased at msrp and I later added a two tone late 90's to have the Zenith caliber. I have to say the White Panda dial Daytona is the most recognized timepiece I have, well at l...
I remember well those days when most pieces, save for the SS Daytona, was available and at a discount. And even with the SS Daytona, perhaps the wait was less than a year, and even less so with the purchase of another model. I am absolutely happy Rolex ha...
