Hey guys,

from what we've seen at Basel this year, it looks like Rolex is going to continue the trend of increasing case widths to make their watches appear "fatter." So how long do you think before the Daytona gets the "supersize me" treatment? I photoshopped a quick and dirty version so you can visualize. What do you think? Personally, I like the current lugs/case size better.

I hope never!!!!!!!

Daytona needs a date and less fussy dial. If supersize does this then I will buy another daytona but saying that I have the current V series and I think it looks great!

hflee55 · 17 April 2009, 11:05 AM

i'm sure rolex will get to it by 2015.

jsj · 17 April 2009, 11:16 AM

I agree with Solo118, I hope never!

rescue7 · 17 April 2009, 11:24 AM

I agree as well, NO date and NO Supercase for the Daytona.

Leave it as is, If it ain't broke then don't fix it.

No need for changes, thank you very much!

Pleasant as is. Not everything looks better in supersize. This not mc donalds.

My hope is that Rolex will offer the stainless Daytona with solid subsidiary dials of the type available on the yellow gold Daytona. I do NOT care for the busier solid dials on the new rose gold model. The super case might be out of place on this reference as would be a tacked on date. I long for my three stainless Daytonas from the 60's and the 70's. When sold years ago they brought around $700. for the three. I'd like them back but don't have the spare 100 grand to rediscover them. And that is the way of the world.

Hey Randy...Looks like a Tudor! Loose the bezel and you might have me!

Yes let's hope that they leave the daytona alone and please stop putting diamonds and gems all over everything.

On the Rolex website you can go from sheer exileration to abject horror in one click.

I know everyone has their own taste but all of those diamonds sure make an Air-King look nice.

I guess they will upgrade the Daytona case about the same time they upgrade the case on the YM

the KING · 17 April 2009, 07:16 PM

it will be a disaster

Atomant · 17 April 2009, 11:22 PM

I'm not for the supercase. But then I haven't owned a supercased Rolex yet.

And please, leave the Daytona alone.

arezzo66 · 17 April 2009, 11:47 PM

Hope they do a dial with just Rolex and Daytona on it and get rid of that 4 line novel, no need for it.

I have no idea.

SirLoki · 18 April 2009, 01:47 AM

imho it needs a non polished bezel and a date at 6 like the vintage daytona/tudor

allanofcalifornia · 18 April 2009, 04:07 AM
