The Daytona is a watch for any man or woman who wants and can afford to own one!

I'd already own a Daytona were it not for the lack of a date function; date is a must for me.

How is the last sentence sexist? Because its a fact that the Daytona is a mens watch. I stated that it looks good on women, but is a mens watch. No where did I say a woman could not where it.

Perhaps some more thought and less emotion be put into a response before posting it.

I guess he thinks anything he buys is the right choice....oh well, I can say that you are turning me into a Daytona lover!
He makes snide comments on a lot of threads if someone has tastes different than his.

I'm just hoping he makes one to a mod at this point and goes .

Sexist? How does that play into the conversation? Even if I walk into the womens department and find a pair of Louboutin stilettos that can fit my size 11 and a half foot, no one is going to call them mens shoes.

That Daytona looks awesome on your son's wrist. Does not look small at all and it's stands out well (in a good way) Hope he enjoys it for many years to come.

Rolex on BIG wrists!!!!!!!>>>>>>>



This picture shows the right hand lugs of the PM Daytonas (not yellow gold though) are wider than SS, plus there is more metal leading to the crown guards, so those thinking Daytonas are too small (which is crazy in my opinion), the precious metal models are certainly not too small.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys

As a reference, when Rolex first started to advertise the Daytona even they referred to it as a "mans watch"

It certainly looks good on everything and everybody, but I still wouldn't describe it as "feminine looking"



And who cares the more the merrier to each his own







"In essence a MANS WATCH" from the mouth of Rolex in their recent mag

And I dont feel any more or less of a man because other guys engage in certain activities or wear a different size watch than me!

Funny how great the sub looks on a big wrist, I would never have thought so. How would a Deepsea look on a 18" wrist, I'm curious now.
