What I have learnt so far after a couple of days of ownership:

 

- Even the genuine article isn't perfect, the bracelet was squeeking and needed some dry lube :)

 

- Rolex steel is sooo much better, stronger and resistant to scratching than the steel used in our reps.

 

 

 

Yes, seems to not scratch nearly as easy.

Nah sorry Plank… DSSD and DJII are Timex's compared to a Big Red. Except to save the life of a loved one, no sane reason to sell a Big Red whatsoever.

haha yeah it was a beautiful watch, but looked better in the box than on my wrist. 37mm just didn't do it for me, so I never wore it

 

The DRSD however, that one I do miss

No sane reason to sell unless someone offers INSANE money for it. :drool:

 

Outstanding!! When ( not IF ) I get a genuine vintage Daytona...especially if it is a (gasp) exotic dial Paul Newman, it will likely spend a good deal of its life in a safe deposit box. I will spend a good deal of my life visiting the bank regularly. Once a watch is over $100,000 Euro, I am reluctant to wear it.

Sure DD, with a Newman, but a Big Red…? If I was offered one watch to wear for the rest of my life, and only one, I wouldn't blink before choosing a Big Red.

 

rlx101 - big ups to you for even owning one. So jelly.

Want a DSSD - what should I be looking for?

 

I am not so critical, pernickity, OCD...

 

Cost is not as important as quality, reliability and re-sellability (if that word exists) if I change my mind - as most of you guys tend to do......

 

Gottahaverolex has given me some tips but Plankton is the man for DSSD right??
