    Lots of changes, don't have any good pics. (car is up on a storage lift tucked in for the winter) I replaced the seat covers and the leather door sills. New wheels/exhaust/girodisc rotors/door lock mechanisms/clutch bearing upgraded with hill stuff.......the list goes on. I promise I will take some good pics for you this spring. We may come up with the porsche club in sept for the Watkins-glen track event. Maybe we can meet up for dinner then. I am considering buying a porsche, turning our c-5 into a track car, or finishing the GT40! Have to see what the new year brings. Take care Neil, Scott

    Great choice on the Cartier watch.

    (Puts flame suit on)

    Buying a Rolex is like buying a Porsche. Guys default to it when there's so many more choices out there - and better ones at that ;)

    It's the perfect drivers watch. I've had for over 10 years and no issues, but the cool part is it's several watches in one due to the special band system that lets you change the band in 5 seconds.

    Stainless steel band for anytime almost:

    Black nylon band for sportier look:

    Brown leather band for classier affairs:

    Red alligator band to really change things up:

    The watch comes included with 3 bands when you buy it.

    Roadster is a great watch but Daytona is an iconic watch, a masterpiece.
    Daytona wins hands up.

    Different strokes. I just didn't want what all my friends HAD already. I have a few but this is my fav since it's easy to change the look and different. Yes, both are great watches!

    Different strokes for different folks is correct, I have a host of Cartier watches that I love, and a Roadster. Along with that a Daytona, I never wear the Roadster, never! Now on the other hand the Daytona is one 4 days a week!

    Grenons is quite the place and Ray is as knowledgeable as he is kind.
    Very nice timepiece.
    Enjoy!

    Nice. I sold mine back in 2016 when I bought my 18038 president (got excited after trump won). I do miss it, it was a great watch, I had it almost 10 years as well. My only complaint was at 44mm it was a bit too big and clunky. If it were 38 or 40mm it would be PERFECT. I probably should have bought the large instead of the extra large.

    I wish the daytonas were a little bigger in size. Used to own white one but felt very small on my wrist.
