That’s a great point/question.
I would say it’s more categories. Something like German cars, Italian clothes, and French wine.
I’ve had this watch for over 20 years. And still to this day when I put it on it does it for me.
It was love at first sight with the 116520 - the first Daytona with an in house automatic movement. I know many these days prefer the zenith movement Daytonas, but back in the day this was all anyone could talk about. ...
I think branding (and brand loyalty) is so interesting
…are there any non horological references that you feel similarly towards?
I surely have brand loyalty to Rolex.
But there isn’t one that I’m on a waiting list for or looking to buy (unless someone offers me a LeMans - which won’t happen). But I live many watches that aren’t Rolex if that’s what you’re asking.
I meant
are there other luxury brands other than wristwatches (cars, clothes etc) that you have a strong brand loyalty / connection with?
That’s a great point/question.

Easy to see why you feel this way.
It is such a sensational watch. I have the ceramic bezel version and have always thought about adding this. Part of me feels it’s redundant. But pictures like this make me want to throw caution to the wind!
My suggestion is to throw caution to the wind 😎.
I’ve had this one since 2016 and I absolutely love it. It wears very different than the 116520. ...
Also an excellent photo of an excellent watch.
I can see how they have different wearing experiences.
Thank you for posting that great foto!
This was my first watch - first REAL watch... the 116520 Black dial! This black beauty absolutely captivated me. I am still enamored with this watch and will never, ever sell it. Best, Robert ...
These might be considered driver gloves because they are quite thin
I keep them in the tiny glove compartment along with winter (thicker leather with lining) gloves. Best, Robert
How true!
It was my first Daytona as well, but the white dial reference I had to wait two solid weeks to get it )) Sadly sold but very much missed! Such a staple piece in any collection.
