Is it wrong that i quite like this daytona

The gen of this went for a ridiculously high price at an auction isn't it? I think it's very beautiful myself. If not for the sec@6 movement I would have bought it when it was released!

It was disappointing, considering what Rolex could have done with the 50th Anniversary Daytona.  Absent that burden of expectations, I think it's a looker.

Yes, it's completely wrong. Unless you're a woman, that thing is fugly.

 

Having said that, I have been told repeatedly that I have no sense of style, so perhaps you really should go buy one ... :)

I sorta agree with ^tom . Daytona is such a masculine watch . I don't understand them going with this *tiffany blue* as my wife calls it

It´s the cerachrome with ice blue dial platinum 50th anniversary at a ridiculous pricetag of usd 75.000 as a gen. Gives You about 12 used Daytonas:) Even if you´ve just made 7.5 Mio it´s still 1% of You fortune. No way to spend this on a new Rolex, even less to use it as a daily beater, no way to pull it off. It´s still beautiful:)

I like it too. I have a DD with the same colour dial and I find it quite sharp. However, I am betting it is one of those watches that looks awesome in photos but just doesn't work when you put it on.

Sorry, I have to color coordinate, and that blue just doesn't match my eyes ;) It is a nice looking watch, just isn't me.

AFA the sec @ 6, is that configuration any more problematic than the AP sec @ 12  A7750 movement?

Tiffany blue aside (I happen to like it), if you can: 1. reshape/correct the CGs, 2. live with the washed out colors & 3. have the lifestyle (& balls) to pull it off without it looking like a poseur, then, yes, absolutely. Here is the gen for reference

Must be a cheap rep, the minute totalizer is waaaayyyy off the 12 o'clock mark and the rest of the chrono hands are reset :)
