Great Question
In Response To: Why is the Daytona not so popular... *PIC* ()


the Daytonas have:

  • pretty colors
  • neat, integrated bracelet
  • nice wearable size
  • great "Daytona" name, that worked for Rolex and Ferrari

If I had to describe the negatives, they would be:
  • maybe something "off" about the proportions -- small dial, in deep case
  • paint that tended to go whacky over time

maybe they will be next sleepers to wake up, and rise in value?
