Congratulations

As for nicknames, I'd have to say that Godzilla is no worse than Batman, Batgirl, Bluesy or Sprite

Sometimes the nicknames make sense. But not in this case.
Nice watch!

Rolex Godzilla Incoming

Welcome to the Rolex club, especially the Daytona crew. Better than AP? You should wear the white Daytona. It is more special in my opinion.

Nice land :)
I sincerely hope no one uses these nicknames outside this forum. Cringe.

Huge score.
There is no cooler and iconic name than “Daytona” so let’s not go after another.

Congratulations!

friendly reminder to be mindful of that screwdown pusher. Always remember to screw them tight and make sure they are because I have had them loosen on its own when I don't tighten them well before and got a mini heart attack when I realize it happens right after I wash my hand. It's probably the weakest point of the watch. It's a beautiful piece, but it's not a SD43 that you can rough up with.

Congratulations on your black Daytona! Not sure about the Godzilla reference though, unless that's the nickname you kids use over there. Wear it in good health. Cheers,

I’d never heard the nickname “godzilla” for this piece. Seems like I’m not the only one?

In any case, congrats on the watch!

Congrats! What a fantastic first Rolex! First time I had ever heard it called a Godzilla, so I was curious and did a Google search. It appears that it IS a real nickname for the LN Daytona, but not here in the US.

No matter what you call it.....it's an amazing piece! Enjoy that beauty!
