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.

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.

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.
