Soccer 5, you sound like a pancy

See what I mean guys, "and it always gets a lot of attention." is what soccer 5 says. Soccer 5 sounds like you're insecure about something because you need some attention. Take a moment to think about this. Why do you need this attention that the watch is giving you? Cuz you lack it just being yourself. Peace out pancy.

Rolexes are for Ugly Guys

Fortunately, I don't have all these insecurities like the rest of these foos that need to buy a 5K watch. The watch doesn't make the man, the man makes himself and the watch. You know that's true. Also, I get plenty of ass based on my good looks. I could get one if I wanted to,but it would be a waste. I get plenty of ass as it is. I don't have time for any more ass. I agree with the greggman. Everybody else should spend those 5k on cosmetic surgery. Peace out ugly insecure boyz.

Lucky SOB!

I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination nor did I ever think I could justify buying a watch for thousands of dollars. Primarily because I couldn't afford one anyway. Funny thing happened, at 26yrs old I started making a lot more money, eating at nicer restaurants, and hanging out with successful people. All of a sudden I noticed a lot of very nice watches every where I went, so I started asking what made them so expensive or special. Well it wasn't long before I caught the bug myself. Now I had to figure out how much I could set aside for a watch and which one I wanted. I like many novice shoppers walked into a few stores looked at the different Rolex models and started asking a lot of questions. I didn't want just any Rolex but I could spend more then 8K. I wanted one you didn't see everyday on someone elses wrist. Well the young lady working behind the counter says I know just what you need and she proceeds to tell me all these great things about the Daytona, how beautiful it is and how there is a very limited production, so you don't see them all that often and it is in my budget. I said great I'll take one. She laughs and says there is a 3year waiting list. Now I am pissed, because she sold me on a watch I couldn't even buy. That night I was at dinner with good friend, so I am telling him the story. He picks up his phone, calls the owner of the store in Augusta, Ga and introduces the two of us. I go see him the next day and tell him what I want. Well he laughs as well and he offers to put me on the list and give me a great deal on another model that I can where while I wait 3 yrs on the Daytona. Disappointed I call the friend I was having dinner with and thank him for trying to help. A week later I was in Orlando for some business and I get the call. It is the owner of the store in Augusta, they have just got in a white face Daytona and I can buy it at retail if I can get there before the end of the day. I cancel all of my appointments and drive for 6hrs. I have been the proud owner of a Daytona for the last 2years and it always gets a lot of attention.

1st Daytona July 2007

Hello out there, it is now 2007, is anyone still around this site? I am a brand new Daytona owner who has wanted a Rolex for years, and now feel great about the Rolex. I agree with both sides of this argument about owning one. Like most things in life there are those who desire things for their own personal reasons and of those folks, price is usually the last thing preventing them from owning a Rolex, if at all. If you want one seriously enough, and you CAN purchase one, chances are you will. Sometimes it make take awhile to satisfy financial concerns, and even then there are those people that wouldn't make the purchase, whether they feel the price is overinflated, or any other reasons I have seen here even though they can afford to. Me, personally, the combination of elegant, timeless beauty, craftsmanship (the darned thing keeps excellent time)and appreciating value made my purchase an investment both monetarily and aesthetically. How are all of you Daytona owners doing after these 6 or 7 years after the last posts?

in response to Horseback Riding is an Olympic Sport?

Only the Horse Works???

Now, don't take this the wrong way. The horse does a tremendous amount of work. But it is actually the rider who is telling the horse what to do, when to do it and is the one scoring the points. Because you have obviously never been in a horse show before, I will explain; yes, the rider gets the medal, but what would a horse do with a medal? The horse gets the title of Olympic Champion and receives myriad respect. Dressage, show jumping, eventing or anything else on a horse is actually 50% the horse and 50% the rider. If a horse preforms beautifully but the rider is all over the place, YOU WILL SCORE NO POINTS. The same goes for a rider whose position etc. is perfect but the horse is not behaving. It's a team effort, you ignoramus. I suggest you go jump six feet then do some Olympic-level dressage before you consider insulting riders everywhere again. Have an excellent day.

How do you value the Daytona?

I have a little bit of a dilemma. First, I don't know EXACTLY what year Daytona watch I have. It's a mechanical movement, mid-late 70's Cosmograph, but I have no idea what year. I've seen a watch that looks just about the same being circa-1977, but I'm not sure. It looks just like this watch, but without the black outline around the face.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLEX-Oyster-COSMOGRAPH-DAYTONA-Manual-SSteel-MENS_W0QQitemZ5030975057QQcategoryZ31387QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Here's the background. The watch was given to my late father probably 20 some years ago by a friend of his. How this friend came upon the watch, we never figured out, but, it's a legitimate Rolex Daytona (I had two jewlers ready to slice my throat for it). Anyway, my father never wore the watch and when he passed away, the watch was given to me (about 11 years ago when I was 12).

I am not a watch wearer, nor a collector. Being a recent college grad who is in no place to influence international millionaires and, more in a position to get myself robbed for wearing such a watch, I have kicked the idea around of selling it, but I have no idea what it's worth.

Any of you have some ideas of what it's worth, where I can get it appraised (without the BS that a jewlery store will provide), or where I might be able to sell it?

Good point

My friend Rich has had many a bunk-up on the strength of his fake Daytona - even had a couple of them stolen!

Lucky for him they weren't replicas of the Zenith El Primero movement or the girls probably wouldn't have bothered!!!
