That is just not how Rolex rolls.....Rumors are rumors and Rolex does not leak out anything! It is all in their timing. I would love to see Daytona updated and do think it is probably time though IMHO.

Maybe in a couple of years to coincide with its 50th anniversary, it makes no sense to update it at present

I disagree. The small size is what sets it apart from the bazillions of 7750 chronos out there that are too big. If they upsized the Daytona it would lose it's unusual appeal as a practically sized auto chrono.

They should not increase the size...This trend of making things bigger and bigger is really pointless, I mean where does it stop?

The only things I would like to see on a Daytona are:

Less bling, i.e. more brushed surfaces, and,
How about a Daytona in Titanium? I would like that...

Any Rolex model in titanium would be welcome, IMO, esp the tool watches

I just saw a picture, I think on this forum, of Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing a 60 mm watch. Once you go past absurd there doesn't seem to be any stopping.

Based on casual observation of the forums, I'd say it stops right about now.

By that I mean I see more posters searching for and desiring smaller watches these days.

Hi Mark, any hints as to the functionality? do you think they'll upgrade the 4130?

Thanks and Regards,
