It brings joy every time I look at it…

And with watches like this, I don’t need cure. May the horological fever continue…

But now I really need a watch diet!!!!! 😅

I absolutely love your story as I can relate so much. 

What makes this watch so special isn’t just the platinum or the ice-blue dial (though let’s be honest, they help!), it’s also the story behind finally getting it.

To be honest, I’ve never been one for the “hype chase.” I refused to get caught up in endless waitlists for „1000 times“, never paid over retail on the grey market, and frankly, had made my peace with the idea that a platinum Daytona just wasn’t going to happen for me. And then… life surprised me.

That’s part of why this piece feels even more meaningful. It wasn’t the result of relentless pursuit or paying a premium – it simply came at the right time, in the right way. That kind of serendipity adds a whole different emotional dimension to owning such a reference.

And with the 60th anniversary updates – the subtle tweaks to the dial, the transparent caseback, and that beautifully finished Caliber 4131 – it almost feels like Rolex built this one as a reward for patience.

Thank you again for sharing in my joy. Wishing you many beautiful stories and watches in return!

All the best
Thomas

thanks for the kind words – and of course for keeping this place running as smoothly as a freshly serviced Cal. 1570! LOLLLL

And speaking of smooth: that 18k 1675 no-crown-guard you just posted… now that’s what I call pure „old-school charisma“.

The way the gold’s aged with that tropical dial – it’s got more character than most modern line-ups combined. Add a little sea breeze from your boat, and voilà: perfect WPS content.

All the best

It’s elegant and sporty in equal measure – no wonder the Daytona is an icon on and off the track….

Such a great watch.

I'm very grateful.

Thank you for your kind words.

Always room for 1 more

No I am looking forward to a break! 😅

I hope I am now a little more resistant to various temptations and react more sensibly 😅🙏

The fun is definitely in the hunt, and it's wonderful that you landed this!

but also in the ownership ☺️ - for which I am very grateful 🙏

Last photo says it all, it belonged to your wrist. Enjoy that beauty

it’s not just a watch, it’s a wrist destiny. 🥰

And is this a piece worth wanting!

Absolutely – this is one of those watches where the heart and the specs agree completely.

I can't say I blame you...that's a stunning piece...I think we would all get weak once this one hits our wrists!  Well done!

But I don’t regret it that I got weak so fast… 😌

I’d say it’s a heavyweight champion in the Rolex line-up – literally and figuratively.

Looks great on your wrist, still waiting on mine.

Fingers crossed yours arrives soon – the wait was worth it!

But the waiting time was not painful for me at all, because I had written off this watch anyway and no longer expected it…
