Sorry to repost a topic that I’m sure has appeared often …

but what are your thoughts on the possible introduction of a 41mm Daytona ?

It seems the natural evolution of the line, following the lead of the DateJust and Submariner.

I know this is blasphemy, but in the past I was not interested in adding a Daytona to my collection … a little too “busy” … but now, having put one on my wrist, I have to have one (I know the line is long).

My AD has both (“Exhibition Only”) the White Dial (Panda?), and the Black Dial (nickname?), both are beautiful, and I would be thrilled to own either … but given a choice, likely the White Dial, as from afar, the Black Dial is too close to my Black Submariner.

It would be nice if they just got it up to 40mm. That would be a start. From past experience, a 40mm Daytona would likely be marketed as a 41mm. It's odd like that.

I hope they never make it 42mm with a date function. The temptation would be too much.

Now that (+date) might be too busy for me.

That would make it almost indistinguishable from the new Zenith El primero chrono

brucethemanlee · 22 August 2021, 07:22 AM

I'm perfectly content with my two Daytona :)

bob sims · 22 August 2021, 07:39 AM

The present Daytona size is perfect as it is. Why fix what is not broken?

JSolution · 22 August 2021, 08:43 AM

The current Daytona is one of the most popular popular watches ever made. See no reason to change it.

Maybe something along the lines of an Daytona 2 though …..

The sub is the most popular watch ever made and they change it last year.

shirtguy · 22 August 2021, 11:19 AM

Actually the datejust is the most popular rolex ever made.

They changed it a few times

djyolky · 22 August 2021, 09:27 AM

How about just get rid of the lame a$$ screw down pushers to start with? Lol

I want them to add a Date to the Daytona.

Then I'd actually wear one.

rolexnyc718 · 22 August 2021, 10:40 AM

Take out all that text on the dial at least if they dont make it bigger.

77T · 22 August 2021, 11:36 AM

I’d like a superthin manual wind movement in the next Daytona, 8mm thin case, current diameter but larger subdials and more legible, plus a date at 12o’clock.

But not on this planet methinks.

Remember the Rolex Veriflat?
They know how to do it methinks.

To me the 116500LN is basically perfect so I don't think there's any need to change it, still I would be excited to see what Rolex would do to upgrade it in the future.

Fully agree.

1William · 22 August 2021, 10:35 PM

Daytona II. 42 mm and the same looks. I am a buyer.

brandrea · 22 August 2021, 10:59 PM

I passed on the Daytona at launch in 2016, it just looked too small on my wrist and legibility was an issue for me.

I think a larger size chronograph would be a great seller

Sorry for yet another superhero, childish name, but I call my black dial Daytona "Venom" because once on my wrist it has bonded with me in a way no other watch has--I sleep, exercise, work with it--and it reminds me of that alien symbiote character of the same name. I sold my collection since I've purchased the black-dial Daytona and wear it 24/7.

Pboned · 22 August 2021, 11:29 PM

I would welcome a bigger Daytona.

train-time · 22 August 2021, 11:56 PM

It's inevitable, it's only a matter of time. The current model is way too small in the modern World.
