I own a Daytona and an Omega Seamaster 300 Diver Chrono. The Omega has the goods on any Daytona as far as functionality. The chrono buttons even work underwater ... But, a Daytona is owned for its asthetics, not for its functionality. The Daytona is a watch that is typically owned when the owner already has some other watch for functionality. The Daytona compliments clothes better than almost any other watch. They just plain look ccol. It is a piece of jewelry. If you need to know the date, you obviously work for a living and are not living the good life in the leisure class. That's what the Daytona says. It says, "Screw working for a living".

Not solid gold im afraid. They are semi solid until the 00's the 118238 was the first solid link DD. I have a 18238 with diamond indices and the 6 figure watch is 70grm heavier. Also, there are 2 variations of box the standard wine coloured leather box with cedar wood partition for paperwork and the presentation one you have with yours. Also, the book only came with the presentation box.

How funny to see his as I've had a P-Luminor for 16 years. Had to dash off and weigh mine and it came in at 167gm but it has a rubber strap. The metal strap clearly almost doubles its weight. A great watch but my only issue is it's had to be fixed/serviced three times now which costs quite a bit, particularly if it has to return to Italy/Switzerland. Apparently this is normal for an automatic watch. And now I've commented here I dare say I'm about to be bombarded with all manner of watches on KZfaq.

Just a couple tips: 1-never wind the watch hands backwards when setting the time, especially if the displayed time is near the date change period (unless your vintage watch has a specific mechanism for a semi-quickset date change) and 2-never take vintage watches anywhere near water or moisture.
@mototyler4996 ай бұрын
Grateful for this tips, however.... On point 1, I've spoken to various watchmakers about this and there is no consensus that this damages the mechanism. Testimonially, I do occasionally move hands backwards and I have been collecting watches for 10 years and never caused any harm. Point 2, of course these are vintage watches and therefore shouldn't go anywhere near damp rooms eg don't even take it off in the bathroom before a shower, take it off and leave it outside the bathroom.
@ItsNeverTooHot4Leather6 ай бұрын
@@mototyler499Just to clarify, on winding the hands backwards, I generally meant near the time of the date change, so usually 9pm-3am, since many watch movements (especially vintage triple calendars) may begin a date-change process and winding them backwards can potentially damage the parts. There are some vintage watches that have specific semi-quickset date change mechanisms, where the user will advance the hands past midnight, then wind them back to an extent before midnight, then advance them again (repeating this process) to more quickly change the date. If you've personally had no issues setting the time by winding the hands backwards, then by all means continue doing it!

You said it, absolutely incredible timepiece. I'm floored by how beautifully the leather works with this time piece, Yet your perspective on its design not working with its application, a night out, jetskiing, go anywhere, do anything sports watch on leather may not make much sense for your lifestyle. I'm so happy to hear this perspective because it proves you've actually worn and enjoyed the watch the best you could like it deserves. you're going to get an absolute banger in its place. looking forward to seeing what you trade it for!

Actually all those differences combined are what makes it so different and contemporary.

For example Pepsi reference from 40 years ago now costs same or more than the full gold Daydate from the same period. @@mototyler499
