You mean TOO expensive correct?

I agree with you.

The Daytona intimidates non watch enthusiasts because the majority know Rolex rather than AP,JLC,IWC,Breguet, Patek etc.

So if I was wearing the Daytona, I get some comments that its an expensive watch and I would'nt buy a $12,000 watch etc from non watch enthusiasts etc. Plus the Rolex Daytona is very iconic, you know that many People would know what a Daytona is as apposed to a Nautilus.

Plus If I was wearing it in Europe It would be easily robbed as apposed to wearing a the AP ROO because its not as obvious as a luxury watch.

When I travel to Europe in June, I will not wear a Daytona because chances I will be robbed are pretty high.

Safari is the classiest and my favorite ROO

and I agree with boursachi, the Brown Hornback completes the watch. Its a completely different watch on the rubber strap

Am I the only one who thinks it would look better with a non-hornback strap? Regardless, love the Safari, certainly one of the cleanest and classiest ROOs. One day.

Out of the current Royal Oak Offshore line yes.

I'm not too fond of the Panda, Safari, Trulli etc.

I like what I've got, the diver is amazing.

Have you seen the richard mille diver that is amazing as well. Best AP RO/ROO is the Royal Oak Skeleton Perpetual Calendar.

I know two Saudi's who have got their Cartier and Chopards stolen in Nice/France. A Rolex is much more noticeable, thats why I am not taking it with me on a trip.
