Only three pics on Insta and one is the SDc red writing mock up doing the rounds so not sure.

Looks ok though

You mean while every nerd has been drooling about a coke gmt (which makes no business sense) - they updated the 115618/19 to have a ceramic bezel like the 116515?

116515 in rose gold with sunburst chocolate face which is preferred over champagne/yellow gold color scheme. I prefer index to arabic which this one has - but - still - falls short of what I have in my inventory so I'm happy with this one :)

So Rolex changes lettering on a sea dweller and adds another Daytona? Total fail.

I am pretty sure that's the Silver Dial catching the light.

Rolex in general and daytona in particular, rolex changes only a fraction of a cent every year, they do not improve what is supposed to be a lot of money for them. Anyway rolex is still a great brand, i love it

Thanks AK797! Considering to be my next daytona.


As a side topic: maybe just me but given the car racing heritage I'm of the opinion that daytonas should have leather straps. Bracelets may be on too, but rubber straps are for divers. Just my opinion. To illustrate that better this is what I do with my 116500:
