Well we will have to handle it first, size might still be an issue for some, but I think in the main it will be HUGE.

I was never the biggest Daytona fan to be honest...
My GMT says hello!

the new Daytona does look more on the high tech side and lose some of that old charm n retro feel.
I'm keeping my black n hope to add the white in future. |

I think it's absolutely stunning.
Here's why it is slightly overrated. It probably took Rolex 10% of the effort to create this watch in comparison to the efforts put towards let's say a YM2 or Skydweller. Is it a brand new model? Yes, but really it's just a Daytona with a new bezel. The movement was already created. Do I want one??? YES, absolutely. |

I think they are fine. I'm not going to run out and get one though. I don't see that it is much different than the one that I currently have. It definitely is not a game changer but just a progression.

IMO progression is what defines the Daytona and the success that comes with it. The watch has never been, and should not ever be "re-invented". The evoloution, success and collectability of this icon is all about subtleties.

Best thing to come from Rolex this year. Also everyone was pleading for it and they listened.
