Why all this hysterics about the Daytona?

Hi guys,

I was also thinking about buying the Daytona. My reasons why I decided
against were the following:
1) I am not willing to wait a couple of years and support the intended
marketing strategy of Rolex.
2) The watch lacks the two most important features I expect from a
chronograph: date and 2nd timezone. Actually, I do not need the
timer feature at all. On the other hand, I need the date and timezone
frequently in business and as a frequent traveller.
3) For the same price I get better chronographs fullfilling my
requirements. 6k-8k EUR are definitely to much for this watch.

I won't buy it just because it is a Rolex

Daytona: the watch no one can get and everybody has.

Funny, isn't it?

I don't like Chronos plus I won't ever pay more then the MSRP for any product plus I dont like polishes bezels that equals: No Daytona for me.

until i saw the daytona steel the first time i thought i need a watch with date but now.......it is "just" a beautiful, perfect watch and my target is to buy one as soon as possible :gut:

for the problem with the 2nd timezone....put one at the right and one rolex at the left arm :D :D

or the cheap version: use the gmt :]

Everyone can buy a Daytona, look f.e. at www.ebay.de, search for Daytona an buy it.

But talking is cheaper than buying.

"Talk is cheap." THE best english figure of speech... =)

Ahh, BTW I've got the Daytona-Status right now. ;)

Rumlabern kann jeder, kaufen halt nur ein paar, was hauptsächlich am Preis liegt. Wer kaufen kann, bekommt auch eine.

Besser so?

Ähh, Du hast mich missverstanden: Ich finde Redewendung gut und freue mich wenn sie jemand verwendet.

:verneig:

Sorry, falsch verstanden

EDIT: Mein Gebraucht-"Konzi" hat mir am Donnerstag 4 Daytonas gezeigt. Alle Stahl, 3 mal weiß, 1 mal schwarz. Eine weiße Zenith, die anderen Rolex-Werke. Die Zenith D. hatte ich ne Woche zur Ansicht. Kaufen werde ich mir eine S/G Daytona.

Hi Folks,

Nice to hear your opinions - it seems that it's very hard to come to an understanding of why spending tremendous amounts on this watch.

Besides making money I can't find reasons to buy this watch :D . I don't want to spend a penny more than list price for such a watch. Why? I don't like it - and I definately don't like the strategy of Rolex. To me Rolex "works" in two areas:

Sport and Adventure: Sub, GMT, Sea-dweller, Explorer.
Business: Day-date, Datejust, Date ...

Daytona = ??

No, I agree on some of the points of view. It's completely overvalued and as time went on everyone has it. it's not even special anymore ;)

Sorry, but I don´t see hysterics!!

There is a Rolex Chronograph and more people want to own it as Rolex can or will produce. So they pay more than the listed price because they don´t want to wait several years. That´s all!

The watch itself is a very good chronograph, stable in it´s worth, has a high image and many people want to own it, so there are also many reasons to own it too.

So we shouldn´t name an mormal watchmarket process hysteric. IMHO.
