Respectfully, I think the inclusion of a date would ruin it for me

Exactly my thoughts...
Wondering when and if ROLEX AD's will be willing to swap this dial to another Daytona...

You think the new generation Daytonas will effect the price of the last generation SS models?

I hope once the new SS models hit the classified ads the older SS models will go down in price a little bit. But probably will take a while.

That's what I was hoping for.

I'm not liking the ceramic bezel. Plus, I like the last generation 116520 (black or white dials). I'm hoping the new introduction of references drop the prices a tad on the last gen.

Love the blue but how come no ceramic bezel!? It probably would have been the best of the bunch imo...
