Daytona does absolutely nothing for me, all hype in my opinion and the platinum just takes that and amplifies it. So maybe I am biased.....

Same could be applied to the nautilus of course but let’s have this debate elsewhere sometime

Lol yeah, they are all hyped. Daytona, Nautilus, whatever.

But to OP, congrats on the 5980R.

Jesus H Christ. What a watch. If there was ever a watch that said “I have huge balls and an even bigger bank balance” it’s that beauty. Well done on obtaining it mate

This is so beautiful. Rose gold just suits the nautilus so well.
