I have an early edition Daytona L series automatic with a Zenith movement. It still runs and is in perfect shape after 26 years of being worn on my wrist every day - my son will get this in about 24 years time when the watch is 50 years old.
I think it is not just the jewellery aspect that appeals to me (I do love the Daytona look) but that in this throw away day and age there is still something you can wear daily that can last so long! Certainly a robust design and if well maintained it would appear to last a lifetime or more. Others may prefer cars. To each his own fanciful vanities! Boys must have their silly toys!
