I like the colored sub dials but not the skeleton look.

Apparently it's got a "forged carbon" bezel, and he's not sure if he has 7 or 8 Daytonas!

The brushed lugs are cool. Fair play. Whoever he is.

Nice custom job. Glad to read it was not done by Rolex.

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die"
It looks like a cluttered mess to me. Looks like it would be difficult to read in low light situations!!! |

IMO doesn’t deserve almost 4 times list price of ss daytona. I presume doubling the list price might have given me a reason to think it over. On the other hand having flying colours of Columbia makes a bit showy. But you know I presume only HP M should be able to sell these 50 pcs to his fellows in Columbia. Not so many pieces at the end.

He is just adding to his Daytona collection, Juan Pablo Montoya has already earned 3 race winner 24hrs of Daytona watches.

I actually dig the skeletonized look... I just don't think it's worth this much even despite the craftsmanship needed to produce.
I bet the high cost is due to the cost to acquire new Steel Daytonas to use as donor watches. |
