IanM, you've got a gold Daytona??? Man, I always wanted that and the President but that's several salary grades above me.
Apeogre, you won't know how it feels until you own it and I can't describe the joy I feel whenever I have one on. Start with the Sub with date, if I may suggest.
IanM, the new President is already 41mm and so are the new version DateJusts. Nic, you shouldn't have sold your cache of 3 DJs. Those babies really rock!
Hiya BRP - yessir. Testing my memory - the Daytona is (I think) a U?? serial, bought in 1998 and the model number is probably a 16509. Better minds can confirm the details, but it is an 18k yellow gold white-faced, white subdials with gold surrounds non-Zenith model (with no diamonds!!). Has sure held its value - its worth more now than when I bought it.
Mate, I acknowledge your point about the increased size to 41mm - but I can't say I have ever seen a 41mm President or Datejust in the flesh, yet ;). I have tried on a coupla 42mm Omega Aqua Terras, and they were just about the minimum I would consider to be my taste, these days.
I am off to Canberra for this Wed, Thurs and Fri - might get the chance to see the new Rollies there, or will chat with the AD here in Perth on my return, so I can talk about it from experience and not just photos!! Wonder if the bigger Presidents and Datejusts are more "me" than the smaller version, or if I am too used to the 42s. 44s and 45s I wear now?? Will let ya know!
Cheers guys - let the debate rage on! IanM hand6.gif
