Icon3 Losing sleep over daytona...

Tried this on the other day while visiting my favorite AD ("BIG" mistake) I think im losing sleep because of it, now if I can only afford one



First time I have seen the "ivory" dial on a everose gold daytona on bracelet (so i had to try it on!)

also if i only have a third wrist?



I prefer the ivory dial than the chocolate one for the RG ceramic daytona. looks very classy to me

Why not settle for SS?

I love some of the dial combinations on the gold models, but SS would still be my choice.

Dude, you need a daytona! Give in now. This watch has chosen you and it won't go away until you buy it! Same thing happened to me with YG a few months ago. I finally gave in.

The Ivory on RG looks amazing. How can you go wrong with the chocolate. Those would be two very tough choices.

The precious metal Daytonas make much more sense to me than the steel ones, price wise. It is a beautiful piece, if you are able to do it, go for it!!

Hard to deny that gold daytona or rolex for that matter are beautiful in their own execution. great to see love for the daytona its an amazing piece that should be tried on the wrist at least once in your lifetime
