A different Daytona!

I have just returned from a holiday in Gran Canaria and visited my favourite AD and took this photo from their window display!



anyone like these colours?

That range is the so called ladies Daytona,a very poor seller well here in the Uk.One retailer in Cardiff has had the full range in his window for 3 years and cannot sell them.And IMO they are almost, I said almost, as bad as the Leopard.

Quite agree with you Mailman but thought I'd post them for comments!

Have a few more pics taken of their window display and will post them when I get time (no pun intended).

They had about 20 watches in their windows and a further 20+ inside including several Subs - SS, TT and Gold and a couple of SD's.

Plus they had one of those "rare" leopards - now that is really, really fugly.

the AD in London told me he sold two Leopards to women. They probably wouldn't look too bad as jewelry pieces. But not on a man. Ugh.

Nope, not my cuppa. Among the uglier pieces the Rolex fashionistas have come up with.

The lower one with the ice blue dial would look nice on a full YG bracelet. That strap is hopeless.
