Funnily enough I agree, I've had many a Rolex, Sub-Date, YM, EXP-39, EXP-II, Daytona finally settled on a DJ.
The Daytona I lusted after for years, finally got one, admired it, put it on the wrist and went meh, it's alright. But, even though I've owned one, thought not much of it, every time I see one in pictures, I hanker after another.
