Do you think they are going to make a new one at basel? Bigger 42mm, more options for the stainless steal?

beshannon · 28 December 2012, 01:50 AM

Maybe, Maybe not!

Sam Philip · 28 December 2012, 02:00 AM

Quite a lot of females wear the Daytona so it will be unlikely Rolex would make it 42mm. I think they may come up with a ceramic bezel on all gold models then on SS models eventually.

Daytonakid · 28 December 2012, 03:55 AM

Ok I want a white gold face on a stainless model

Speed · 28 December 2012, 04:11 AM

No

VICI · 28 December 2012, 04:21 AM

I'd buy a larger model Daytona.

The current one is unisex. Puts off some male buyers.

What dictates the "sex" of the watch?

Women wear the DSSD...does that mean its a "women's" watch and too small for men now?

Nothing dictates the "sex" of a watch unless it is 26mm in diameter.
Women can wear anything they like and that will not stop me from
wearing the one I want.
But Since the appearance of the DSSD..? I have yet to see a woman wearing one

Personally, or via the interweb?

I can't actually see how you believe that 40mm is too small, i have worn Rolex sports watches for more years than i care to remember; Subs, Daytona's, as well as an Explorer1 and a Datejust, i am over 6 feet tall and 15 plus stone with 8 inch wrists and i can honestly say that each watch has always looked and felt right on my wrist.

PS. my constant daily wear is a Sea Dweller, and has been for the last ten years.

Sadly Rolex are going in a different direction in terms of design and vintage revivals.

That said, I don't think we will be seeing a tricolor PN dial with the ceramic bezel.

Or will we?

Yes any male who is put off by the size of the Daytona is clearly insecure

Not like men have the right to choose any criteria when it comes to what we buy. Whether that be the colour we like our jumpers to be or the size we like our watches to be.

He said the watch was unisex which isn't a sex. It's a term that refers to something being suitable for both genders.

How many women wear the DSSD ? There's a picture of Charlize Theron wearing it once. I've searched for pictures of her wearing it but the only picture is of her at that Lakers game. For all we know she hasn't worn it again. Hardly qualifies the statement "women wear the DSSD".

As for what dictates the sex of a watch ? Well Rolex do. On their website they have a section called "women's selction". The bigger watch trend has not been picked up by Rolex and mm sizes lie. The 114060 is supposed to be the same size as the Daytona yet the 114060 was perfect size for me yet the Daytona was way too small.

In the "celebrity world" I see more Daytona's on women than men.

I'm not saying men shouldn't wear the Daytona. I believe it to be a unisex watch as well. I am also pretty sure they wont change the size. Until they do, the only one I would buy would be for my gf.

Hoping for a date "complication" but not holding my breath. For the 50th anniversary they'll probably do something that doesn't involve re-tooling as a bigger case or date would require. Likely something along the lines of ceramic bezel on bracelet model, hideous special edition anniversary green, or something like that...

AK797 · 28 December 2012, 04:23 AM

I did a poll and the vast majority thought no change on size or date. Ceramic bezel on all models very likely in next 2 years.

I agree..

Daytonakid · 28 December 2012, 04:26 AM

I rather have a bigger one no date and ceramic options....I just bought my first Rolex which was a black face stainless steal model this past May and ever since I have been on this forum everyday like crack learning more about the entire line

What's wrong with the current SS size and options?

financeman · 28 December 2012, 09:25 AM

50/50 shot. I dont think Rolex knows what they are going to be doing half of the time. They keep it very secretive

Andrés G · 28 December 2012, 09:25 AM

I don't think so.

sBmRnR · 28 December 2012, 09:31 AM

Nothing wrong with 40mm!

And now we wait :)

Daytonakid · 28 December 2012, 09:53 AM

The SS doesn't have more dial options like the Arabic numbers, red hands ect....I don't think it is not the same when you modify a SS with a different face that's my opinion but hey I've been wrong before

It makes the two dial options more exclusive, isn't? (IMO)

mmmk604 · 28 December 2012, 10:04 AM

The current 40mm wears way smaller than my SubC or the GMTIIC.
A 42mm would be great, but no guarantees by Rolex!

Hairdude1 · 28 December 2012, 10:46 AM

Only Rolex knows

GradyPhilpott · 28 December 2012, 10:59 AM

The current Daytona despite what movement it may have is styled mainly as a piece of jewelry.

As a timing instrument is hardly useful at all, except for telling the time.

This of course matters not to many of those who wear them, but I do think that there is a population of watch enthusiasts who would like a Rolex chronograph that is more tool than bling.

As far as I'm concerned, 40mm is enough, but if Rolex does restyle, I do think we can expect a larger case.
