Collection
ZSHSZ's original post, humorously titled 'Fake Starbucks, real Daytona!', sparks a discussion that delves into the ownership experience of the highly coveted Rolex Daytona. This article explores the nuanced perspectives of collectors, from the initial unboxing ritual to the enduring debate surrounding the watch's market perception and its place in horological history. ZSHSZ's personal journey with the Daytona, having owned all modern references from the Zenith era, provides a unique lens through which to examine the model's appeal and the often-polarized opinions it generates.
The Rolex Submariner reference 126610LV, introduced in 2020, represents a significant update to the brand's professional dive watch collection. This particular reference is distinguished by its black dial and green Cerachrom bezel insert, a color combination that has become a recognizable feature within the Submariner lineage. It succeeded previous green bezel Submariner models, incorporating updated technical specifications while maintaining the core aesthetic of the Submariner. This model is positioned as a contemporary iteration of a robust and functional tool watch.
The watch features a 41mm Oystersteel case, a slight increase from its 40mm predecessors, and is fitted with a unidirectional rotating bezel with a green Cerachrom insert. Powering the watch is the automatic Caliber 3235, a movement known for its precision and efficiency, offering a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The watch is equipped with a sapphire crystal and is water-resistant to a depth of 300 meters, ensuring its durability and performance in demanding environments.
For collectors, the 126610LV holds appeal as a modern Submariner with a distinctive colorway. Its introduction marked a new chapter for the Submariner line, incorporating the latest generation movement and a subtly revised case profile. This reference is a current production model, making it a contemporary offering within the broader Submariner collection and a point of interest for those following the evolution of Rolex's professional series.
My AD watched me like a hawk whenever it comes to that ritual 🤦🏻‍♂️ I wonder if rules have relaxed? Both are my favorite things, watch and coffee 👍🏻, enjoy 🙌🏻
The same thing always happens with my AD. There are so many little stickers.
No stickers and no coffin= no buy! I want so see it open in front of my eyes “first owner”! Some stay on forever, but some fall with in days… Enjoy your Sunday!
On a serious side, once they start flaking I pull them all off for ease of cleaning…
Don’t worry about stickers! I also let them peel off when they wish. At least the small ones. Mine has also arrived past week and still shows the small ones at the end links. It says hello below. Enjoy your new Daytona so much and in the best of good health!! Cheers! Abel
Love it! Wear in good health!
