The Daytona for the Style Man/Modern Man

The Daytona was featured on the Today's show. Thought it was cool that they picked out that watch when talking about men's style.

Firstly, let me welcome you to WTF and the Rolex Forum!

Secondly, thanks for the awesome link!!! I've been wearing my Daytona with a suit for YEARS and had to laugh that it is now considered very "chic" or in style. :laugh:

Thanks again!

I heard that "Timex is doing some cool stuff" if that's your style. Timex/Rolex, same thing...it's a watch, right? Hmm, I'm considering a ten thousand dollar watch...or maybe...a leather bracelet. Which one do you think I should get. If I get the bracelet I'm on the hook for re-furbishing every five years and I have to send it into that French company that makes them.:T

I guess my point is that if you're going for the bling then get the cuff links and the Timex. (or the pearl, that's nice too). I just don't think that you can compare all that stuff with the Cosmograph.

If you want a high quality timepiece that will last you the rest of your life, get the Daytona.

Hey John...that's a great picture. I know traditionalists frown on wearing sports models with suits...but the white face with the blue suit looks fantastic. I love wearing my GMT-II and Sea-Dweller with my suits, and my wife, who is very frank and tells me honestly whether something looks good together or not, really likes the look. Now, all I need to do is talk her into letting me get a BMW so that I can take a picture like you did!!!! :lol:

I think the Daytona is dressy enough to be worn with a suit, even though it's a sport model. It looks great in fact. Hell, I think the GMT IIc is dressy enough! :lol:

 

[Sea-Dweller]

J-Bat, I agree with you. I admit I don't like my two-tone GMT-IIc with EVERY suit that I have...but there's certain suit/shirt combinations that it really pops with. I have a dark grey suit with a brick red shirt, which is a combo that works VERY well for me if I want to wear yellow gold jewlery. Nice to know I can fall back on that outfit if I'm dressing up and I want to wear gold...seeing as how typically stainless steel or white gold works much better for me.

I agree 110% The Daytona looks great with a white dress shirt. :001_wub:

I've been known to wear my SD with a suit too...though less often than my TT Sub, Yachty, and Daytona.

John...
I'm a big fan of my Sea-Dweller with a suit. There's just something fantastic about that watch that I could wear it with a bathing suit or with a tuxedo and it would still look wonderful and by no means even close to being out of place with either. Of course, I have a certain affinity for the watch anyway, one because it was my very first Rolex, and two because, well...I hate to brag...but I can pull off the James Bond look quite well lol :lol: :lol:

I hope that's a WET suit!!!! :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh well.. I don't think I'd ever call John a traditionalist anyways... :wink: :lol: :lol: :001_tt2: :001_tt2: :001_tt2:


But then I can't talk either.. I'll wear my Yacht-Master with a tux... :scared: :blink: :blink:

i'm kind of old fashioned - and old, too. i believe chronographs are sport watches no matter what they cost. to me, a dress watch is most appropriate with a suit and tie.
that said, i do break the rule a couple times a month (LOL!)
i'm not a gentleman - i only play one on TV

 

[pauleypaul]

All of these look good with a white shirt, i only ever wear white shirts with a suit, i don't know why!
The dark blue (company uniform) shirt that i wear on the shop floor at work looks great with all of my watches too. Notice i said that my shirt looks good with the Rolex, not the other way round!
:lol:
