I have 4 Daytonas now. Only 3 have been photographed.
The 4th one is a vintage model.
3 of them are seconds-at-nine and they run like tanks. No issues whatsoever with them. The correct seconds-at-six watch has the typical issues. Stops running at random times. Very difficult to wind. Etc.
Most guys don't like the seconds-at-nine models because, unless the model is a pre-2000 rep, it's inaccurate. I don't mind. No one I know or rub elbows with frequently knows enough about a Rolex Daytona to tell the difference and the watches are just a beautiful, elegant design.
Daytona4Me has some of the best prices for Daytonas on watchwoot.com. He beats anyone. Robert at Time4Direct has some nice seconds-at-nine models displayed in his sales section. I bought the silver dial model from him.
One thing to keep in mind with Daytonas is the after-sale service your dealer provides. Seconds-at-six Daytonas are fraught with mechanical issues, "ticking time bombs," if you will. Some dealers don't cover their watches past one-to-three months. Daytona4Me tells you up front that he gives you a 12-hour warranty. That's why his prices are low. Other dealers, like Josh and Andrew, will cover their watches for a year in most circumstances. That's one reason their prices are higher.

When I get mine I will be looking for seconds @ 9, I'm not a huge skeptic on the accuracy either. It looks great so if it works then that's perfect for me.
The white face with red markings is just hot.
