Brand agnostic, but lay it out for us - what is a watch that you fully or partially abhor, whether publicly or privately, but which others seem to absolutely adore?
In my case, you must forgive me, Church of Rolex, for I have sinned against nature - I just don’t love Daytonas.
I’ve known a lot of different kinds of Rolex owners… but the stainless and gold Daytona combo has, to my mind, consistently belonged to older, well to do men on their way to or from playing tennis in too much white clothing… or pastels which do not suit them, perhaps with a sweater around the shoulders. The only other assured accoutrement is an elephant hide tier permatan.
It’s not that there’s anything wrong with any of the that, but in the wild, the style is seldom varied on this particular watches’ wearers.
While I like the Zenith El Primero, I’m just not all that into the older Daytonas.
String me up! String yourselves up! Bring your confession out into the open! Burn the shame up in the light of truth!
Only by exposing these vile confessions to your peers might you begin to atone!
