Perfect combination?
Rolex Daytona/Ferrari Daytona...I don't think it could get much classier than that!

BTW, I assume you know that the car is not named Daytona and has nothing to do with the Rolex Daytona watch?

I know it has nothing to do with the watch (other than they are both named after the 24 hour Daytona race). The car is a 365GTB/4 which has always been known as the Daytona.

Nice triple even if the Ferrari is not yours. It's still stunning.

the Ferrari sir, the Ferrari



the Mercedes is the "practical" choice of the two, but the Ferrari made my blood pump faster just looking at it.

For a cool matching watch/car combo, I'm thinking Lotus Esprit/Oysterquartz 17000. And at least I have half of that
