Zak's Daytona Story: An Emotional Connection
Let's rewind to a casual conversation with our good friend, Zak Marar - a watch enthusiast with a story about his Daytona that is rooted in personal connections and meaningful journeys.
Casting our minds back to the early 2000s, Zak was introduced to the Daytona by his cousin. "How beautiful is this watch?" Zak pondered, as he admired his cousin's treasured timepiece, not just for its aesthetic appeal but the emotional resonance it held.
As Zak's watch collection diversified over the years, the Daytona "has always been on my mind." He doesn't subscribe to the notion of a 'grail watch'.
To him, it's the journey of exploring diverse timepieces - an evolution without a definitive finish line.
After a twenty-year wait, Zak added the white-dialed Daytona to his collection. His reunion with the Daytona was "love at first try all over again."
The memories, the connection to his cousin, it was these aspects that lie at the heart of his interest in watches.
For Zak, the Daytona isn't just another tick on a list of high-end watches. It's a cherished keepsake, "It brings a smile to my face every time I see it." An item of emotional significance, destined to be passed down to future generations.
Yet, Zak's journey is far from over. A black-dialed Daytona may be his next step, because, to him, watch collecting is also a lot about the emotional resonance.
