I have tried hard not to get involved in the Rolex Rep dept. stashing spare pennies till I can get the "real deal" for fear that my accountant (wife) will not allow such a purchase if I am content with the rep. But when I saw the $29.00 Daytona I pulled the trigger just for kicks. And didn't wear it for months finding excuses to not, oh it's too small, or today will be the day the movement explodes. I finally put away the Pams and Omega's and strapped it on. Wow, from my first stop at the coffee shop I have gotten compliments and looks. EVERYONE knows this watch, and I have to say has more presence than the biggest 44mm pam I own.
Looks like I am a convert, been admiring a few DSSD's, and air kings as well.
