It's a Rolex Chronograph with a long history.
If you like it, why not.
For me, it never really ticks the box (And I always wanted to like it as Winners of Daytona and Le Mans 24 Hours get one).
I'm not a Rolex fan, generally, but the Daytona (even ignoring some of the horrors inflicted on it - Brown bezel and watery blue dial!) always seems a bit out of proportion to me somehow.

Each to their own, had one for a while, great watch with one of the best chronograph movements designed after the El Primero. A tad small for some at 38.9mm. The new ceramic models do nothing for me, the black is quite boring and the white just mimics the previous Zenith version, which I wasn't keen on.
Good to hear the pre-ceramics are coming out of the woodwork, I might just have another

I think they are great! Really fancy a pre ceramic black dial but 2015 ones are going at £2k or so above list still :roll eyes:
I have seen two in ADs in the past month...focus has switched to ceramic so they are easily available now.I love the Daytona, originally I never understood it and bought a sea dweller instead. Then after about 10 years of owning the sea dweller I started to long for a Daytona. I now own several(different versions and dial colours).They are lovely watches, white dial with a suit and black dial with jeans.
I always loved the idea of a Daytona and still love the way they look - However it was far less impressive on my wrist than I had hoped.
My friend had a black faced non ceramic and it just felt a bit small and busy. I have a Rolex Explorer (39mm) and it looked loads bigger. My friend and I agreed that mine was actually the nicer of the two.
That said I would still have one, when I tried on the platinum version I fell in love :-)
