Thanks DR for the links to past posts. I haven't worn it much in the last 20 years or so because I like to switch out the bands on my watches from time to time and I of course can't do that on my Daytona. Sounds like the integrated bracelet is what is keeping it from being a top collectible. It is kind of a quirky looking chrono. Very seventies styling. It still runs like a top though...one of my best time keeping automatics. My 1968 Rolex/Tudor submariner's reserve power lasts around maybe 24 hours. The Daytona goes for 48 or more without winding and I assume the Submariner is worth more as a collectible.
