Don’t overthink it. If you want it, the answer is yes!

Have the means? Do you like it? If answer to both is yes, go for it. Daytona is and will always be a classic, and will keep its status long after other models are “gone”

Go for it. Also biased, but I really love the feel on wrist and funnily enough it feels more under the radar than the ceramic bezel / steel models so can easily be a daily.

A very good friend of mine has had this piece for over a decade. Although I’ll admit that I’ve got more experience with this one than any other PM daytona, I think its a downright a fantastic version. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing

That looks incredible! Love the Arabic numerals, it’s very race like which is fitting to the historic nature of the Daytona.

Was it NOS?
