Growing old waiting for a Daytona?
Hamilton just announced the Daytona-esque Jazzmaster Performer series that might keep you going in the meantime...

Re: Growing old waiting for a Daytona?
I thought the same thing.
Its the closest i have seen other than the seiko solar chronos to the daytona.
It is bigger - 42mm and 22mm lugs. vs 40mm and 20mm lugs.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said

I really wish they had left off the date.

A better option would be a used Tudor
Genuine Daytona case & they beat Rolex to the black bezel by many years.

or the "Seikona"
PS I only like the Panda Daytona in case that wasn't obvious

Re: Growing old waiting for a Daytona?
I think this looks far better than a modern Daytona. Movement is pretty cool as well.... and didn't Rolex used to use a reworked El Primero movement in the Daytona back in the 80's before they figured out how to make an in-house auto chronograph?
Re: Growing old waiting for a Daytona?
I don't know when / how long they used it, but yes indeed Rolex used an El Primero in the Daytona.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Re: Growing old waiting for a Daytona?
They used it into the late 90’s.
