What's your dream Rolex? Something you can't get...

I'd love to have a platinum Daytona (case & bracelet) similar to the white gold/black face version but with a dark slate grey meteorite face with black dials and red hands. I'd like the dial turned clockwise about 25 degrees so it's "correct" when I'm driving.

Your thoughts? Design your own, run wild...

Double Red Sea Dweller in NOS Condition with all the Goodies! They are out there, but there is no way I am going to pay the asking for one.

I'll put a finer point on that. Subs and GMTs with tritium tubes ala Ball.

No, something Rolex doesn't make. Something you'd like to have but can't.

Sorry but I couldn't resist answering the above quote.

No. I now have my dream Rolex.

However if I keep hanging around this board I may not stay so content!

My dream Rolex is to own the black and white dial Daytona. I'm half way through, I own the black dial right now, so, I'm looking forward to own the white dial.

This watch belongs to someone here and I apologize for not remembering who. Someone here has this early (pre Daytona) chronograph that was never worn and it struck me as just a beautiful, tasteful, classy, understated watch and if I had the cash I would hunt one down and own it for myself. I could look at this watch for hours.
I liked it so much I saved the pictures on my computer just to look at sometimes.
It is a watch that Rolex does not make (anymore).

There are a couple on Ebay and they want in the 40K range.

I like their innards!

If they ever made a platinum white-faced Daytona with red hands and a date, I'd be the first in line.

I bit this from DALSTOTT--WUS. It's the most beautiful watch I've seen and the one that gave me Daytona fever.
