Great looking watch - I love how Rolex have gone back to the orange GMT hand. They only thing I don't approve of is the 42 mm case, which I think was a mistake.


I believe its retail on 42mm version is $7,200 but I see people selling it for close to 9K, one guy is actually selling one for 11K right now.. I believe my AD will receive their stock soon maybe I should buy one and flip it.

This side-by-side shot gives a truer picture of the size differential, which, as can be seen, is not great:

I think I'm leading in that direction.


:nodding: The Zenith El Primero is a robust movement.




I love the vintage Daytona models. I just cant really justify spending that kind of money on a watch at my age. If money wasn't an issue at all I would certainly get the 70 model but since I am still young and need to be somewhat practical, I think the Daytona with the Zenith movement makes more sense now.

I have a white faced with in-house movement. A friend has a vintage Daytona, and it's really spectacular. I'd like to own one, but I don't lust after it enough to justify the cost. Maybe one day when I'm not such a peasant :)
