There's something about this model that's intriguing.

I like it and it's cool that it's a customised Daytona with a light function. But why Daytona?

Did we just delete the chrono function and keep the pushers.

Not a fan, at all... sorry I think it lost the appeal of the 3 register daytona that was so balanced

Interesting concept. Not sure the Daytona was the right choice for the foundation. Perhaps a different model, maybe a platinum date just.

From an engineering point of view, I am impressed with this warch, but from an horological point of view I am not a fan

Turning a Daytona into a 60 second stop watch seems to be a pointless modification.

Larry... no word that they even retained a 60-second chrono function. Apparently the pushers are used to activate the lights--or do they that in conjunction with when the Sheihk starts/stops/resets. And if no chrono then why the tach bezel...

Would have been better on another type of watch or dial, why remove the daytonas function, it's not a Daytona

Could have been cool on a platinum DDII, don't know why do it to a Daytona and lose the chrono

I am a big fan of customization, when is done right. As many have asked "why a Daytona."

I suppose a Daytona was used because it had the pushers-- but a light seems such a senseless function.

I think it is the next thing: Ultra customized Rolex watches for the rich. When a company makes so many units per year, those who have the means will probably want to stand out from the crowd.

I guess it is a good thing, in case, like Jason Bourne, you forget your name.

I don't understand the concept, they took a chronograph and deleted the chronograph? Kinda dumb if I'm honest

Sell it on ebay, you might get a couple of bites. Not my style at all. But I am a purist.

Pretty interesting concept but it looks a bit strange on the Daytona.

If I wanted a watch with a light, I would buy a G Shock, not a Rolex.
