No such thing

I went to my AD today and ask if there's a new Daytona 42mm coming out next year, because i read it here in the forum. My AD told me that it was the new Clown master 2 or let me say the "YUCK" Master 2. Good thing they wont change the 40mm Daytona

Your right Thani, I hope they will still make it as a 40mm. For my personal opinion i like the Daytona just the way it is.

i love the daytona the way it is aswell,,, with the size and NO date.. i think if they did add a date to it or make it larger it will go down the drain.. but thats just my personal opinion

Chalk my name onto the list of those who like the Daytona as is, simply because 42 is starting to get too big for me.

I can only imagine, being on the waiting list, and finally getting the call when it's the larger redesign...

Though I suppose I could pull a JJ and flip 'er...

I very much doubt that Rolex will make the Daytona in 42mm.

They have no need to chase after sales for this model. They could have introduced different dial styles to improve sales but have chosen not to do so.

If they release a 42mm Daytona in the next five years I will eat my (liquorice) hat.

I agree. It is such a famous watch. I hope that they will not ruin it's beauty.

I agree, and I doubt if Rolex would do that.

Good point. I personally don't think it would be a bad move but why would they. They can sell every one they make X2 so why bother.

I agree. Now that would be a great idea.

I think the current size of all the Professional range is just perfect as is. If you want a larger watch, go with Omega. If you want HUGE, go Panerai...
