About to sit down for me dinner around 6 on Thursday night when my AD texts me this
Skipped dinner as I had a fully booked weekend ahead, it was now or next week so I jumped in the car and off I went, typically the wife left the car low on fuel so had to take a detour to get some fuel (has to be Shell or Tesco100)
I culled a few watches the beginning of the year and been living with just my Seadweller (116600) which I've been very happy with, a couple of weeks back I did cave and purchased the new Explorer (214270) passed on a couple but in the end though it would make a good do anything watch with a lower profile to the SDc.
Had actually given up on the Daytona as I had an issue with an AD selling one from under me and not being honest about it etc which left me at the back of the line at every other AD, at one point I did look at selling my two and adding some serious funds to go with the WG DD40 but the overall cost just didn't sit right and decided to hold off a year or two so I can get it without sacrificing my SS watches.
Well an hour or so after the text I was at the AD and collecting my Daytona :) must say even after trying it on at a couple of Rolex events having it on my wrist for a few hours made me realise it's even more special then I thought and wiped away the idea in the back of my mind to flip and put the profit towards the DD40.
Well here she is, sized but not destickered
And finally a family shot

Congratulations. I'm not into Daytona's but have to say that does look pretty cool actually.
What a great collection You got there Mate😉 I've noticed that only the Sea dweller got a date😊

It is and for me I do prefer it over the pre ceramic model which I never really bounded with.Originally Posted by Timetotalk
As above I didn't got on with my first SS Daytona and likes the look of the ceramic models but didn't want a RG one on leather and the Plat model was well out of reach, this update for me has made it pretty much perfect.
Thanks I'm very happy with it
Had a few date models but no real theme just how the collection has evolved I guess, as said a long term plan is the DD40 in a year or so.
In the best colour too. Great stuff - congratulations!
Dibs - just in case you get bored with it... ;)
Superb trio , looks like you've covered all the bases with those . Great combo on the Daytona .
Thanks and it's a keeper..
Unless a DD40 turns up at a great price haha
Thank you and yeah really happy with these three (for now)
Yes I love the black & white contrast of it, gives it a much more sporty look which I feel a Daytona should be.
Great complimentary trio, with each serving a different purpose. I normally prefer a black dial but with the new Daytona the contrast with the black bezel and red text makes this the best choice!

Very nice, I'd be able to live with just the Daytona and Explorer quite easily.
Really nice threesome!
You have similar tastes to me.
How long was your wait with the Daytona?
No point in flipping it as once you have one you will always hanker after another if you had let it go.
Like the seadweller best out the 3 though
Enjoy them.
The perfect trio - enjoy!
That is a lovely trio. I saw my first new Daytona being worn by a lucky fella in a restaurant in Cornwall this week.

I'm still newish to the forum so not sure if the language I want to use is permissible. But holy f**!\|$|+€|$!!!!
Ahem. Congratulations what a pretty family.
Congratulations- I love the ceramic Daytona- far nicer than the previous version
Wow, that Daytona is a cracker, enjoy it!
These threads are killing me! I'm no2 on the list for a white face one. Once I get the call the speedy and grand sEiko will be gone to make way!
Congrats it's an amazing watch

Love the white faced watches and your Daytona looks beautiful in that collection. Congratulations.
Ahem!
Don't worry mate your still top of the list! I would imagine it will be 9-12 months anywaysAhem!

Congratulations - a lovely trio. I tried on the black dial ceramic Daytona a few months ago and am glad that I have asked for the white dial (no idea when that will happen though!).

Very nice trio - well balanced.
Congratulations!
That is a very nice trio indeed. Something for any occasion.
Your stable is truly awesome, congrats.
What struck me is that this would be a great collection of styles in any price bracket and is something I will consider in future.
Well done. Congrats on the new Daisy.
Nice trio too. Only thing missing is your modded SubC. It would have completed the gang.
Really nice watch, no idea how long I've to wait for mine!
Enjoy.
Truly epic SS trio! If you swapped the Exp for a blue Milgauss then perfect! Saying that the new Exp looks bloody lovely, the first real improvement Rolex have made in a while i think.
Lovely trio - despite the 'size' I do find the daytona has fantastic wrist presence.
Really? I know we're entitled to our own opinions but that's just mental!
Absolutely! Z-blue dial is stunning and something different to your normal (albeit lovely) black dialled sports Rolex. Also the blue, black and white dials would have been a great combo.

I respect your opinion Sir
Funnily enough, the Daytona seems like it will be likely to elude me for some time. If I get one within a year, I'll be happy.
Great trio and I hope you wear in good health.
Star player. Congratz!
Really great collection and probably the 3 rolex I would go for
Liking those three, diver, daily & best.
Very nice and a great collection.
Those 3 models look to make a great collection.
A great collection and I must try to get on a Daytona waiting list somewhere in the UK, as on the 2 occasions I have visited AD's they tell me that their lists are closed.
Congratulations - they all look great
Thanks
Nothing wrong with the all black but for me the white/black contrast makes this watch.
They are great but I could never be without the 116600, still can see it being my favourite after the honeymoon period wears off with the Daytona.
Long story.. I was first on my AD's list and they received their first back in July which I didn't get, I had to order mine via the Rolex rep and regional sales manager and it arrived within two weeks.
And yeah the 116600 is my 1st/2nd favourite SS Rolex I'll make my decision once I've had the Daytona a few months
Thanks
I've only seen two in the wild and they were both at a Rolex event a few weeks back (white and black)
Haha thanks fella
Very nice trio of a collection, congrats
My thoughts exactly and the reason I moved my 116520 on as it looked dated against the PM update markings/ceramic bezel models
Thanks and no doubt I will
Don't know much about GS but sure the Speedy can stay if you are going white Daytona, plus the Speedy is a classic!
Cheers
They are coming through so I'm sure it won't be long!
Looks great Sam, great combination you have there now.
Think a WG DD40 would top it off nicely just a shame I'm currently £25,000 short (they are £25,100 haha)
True all but above!
Thanks
Thanks and as for the custom Sub that has gone to a forum member but I am considering sending the 116600 off for something similar
As said but what limited info I've had most branches outside London have had their second batches through, assuming London will be having more allocations.
Daisy?
Awwww
Amazing trio.
Congrats
Thank you, I did have the Milgaus GV and loved the look but moved it on as it was a little unstable on my wrist, the blue looks good in pic but in person I found it to have too much going on and not a fan, this added to the fitment issue makes it a no no for me!
Agree on the Exp its now my daily wear anywhere watch!
Also as for adding colour I'm in love with the green WG DD40 But sadly not the price so may entertain a green or blue addition once funds allow or should Rolex release an all SS DJ41 next Basel.
Thanks and yes this newer model definitely looks larger on the wrist then the previous! Actually find the white looks bigger then the black.
Wouldn't say it's mental but agree I wouldn't put the blue GV above any of my three!
Thank you and just keep chipping away at AD's I can imagine a lot of people are flippers on mutlple lists!
Cheers
Me too haha
Thank you, that would work but I'm more inclined to class them
Exp- daily
SDc- casual black dial
Daytona- casual white dial
DD40 WG green dial- best (and in my dreams)
Cheers
Yep and I'm pretty happy
Thank you and as above just keep chipping away!
Thanks
Thank you and yep I'm a happy chappy at the moment
?
Cheers
Fantastic trio. I'm still not sure on the centre links on these Rolex bracelets but love the Daytona dial white dial now they have put black rings back on it - maybe need to try one to convince myself. You must find it hard to choose which to wear!
Best collection I've had so far
Exp is my daily, not a fan of the term but guess some would call it a beater!
Then it's just a case of choosing between the black or white when off out.
As I've mentioned (a few times) I'd love to add a WG DD40 as best in the not too distant future.
Cracking watches, and a great trio!
I tend to prefer black dials if it's a choice between black and white, but I think I'd go for a white dial Daytona. It looks really clean and crisp.
