freddy333 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Hodinkee contains alot of great Rolex info, but I would disagree with the author's premise. Although the Daytona is an iconic watch & the 1 that I would most like to keep (as a beautiful collectible), for everyday wear, I would probably opt for the 1665 Seadweller, which is less fiddly & more hearty.

cambridgerwg Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I feel you. A 5513 or 16610 works best for me as an everyday watch. That being said I haven't worn a daytona before but it's more 'dressy' than a sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 The newer (blingey'r) Daytonas are certainly more 'dressy', but the old 62xx series were not called 'tool' watches for nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ww12345 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Do you suppose a 62xx series would stand up the same way an old Sub model would? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you suppose a 62xx series would stand up the same way an old Sub model would? No, which is why, although I love 62xx Newman Daytonas, they would not be my 1st choice for a beater.
