Although I do like the fact that the dial has a tick mark for each minute...

it looks cool and if Rolex made it I would have one, but to modify one that is a personal decision, not for me

i love it.
if it were not quite so expensive, i would get it in an instant. but the cost of the watch, and then the additional cost of the coating makes it unrealistic in view.

I wouldn't have a modified one but if it were an official Rolex piece, I'd be all over it like chicken pox.

Is this a custom/modified version or just a fake? The font on the dial looks horrible.

Just can't see doing that to a valuable Daytona. Original has such a classic design and appearance.
Does that one have quartz movement?

X2. It wouldn't take long before the watch was two-tone.

I like the look. Not a fan of the base model of Rolex so I say pass. But the blackout look is nice.
