Any rumors of a new Daytona ? I am interested in a Daytona but feel the watch may be updated ? Does anyone know if the Daytona is going to have a new larger case like the GMTc and subc ? Any other changes ie date Etc. .

ParisDakarBmw · 17 August 2010, 11:17 AM

I haven't heard anything about that yet.

HL65 · 17 August 2010, 11:21 AM

That is just not how Rolex rolls.....Rumors are rumors and Rolex does not leak out anything! It is all in their timing. I would love to see Daytona updated and do think it is probably time though IMHO.

rolexdeepsea · 17 August 2010, 11:30 AM

see i like the style they have on it now...what changes would they do?

Art 1 · 17 August 2010, 11:32 AM

No.

kcmo · 17 August 2010, 11:38 AM

I think it's PERFECT as it is now!

Pep04 · 17 August 2010, 11:39 AM

maybe a date?

Speed · 17 August 2010, 11:40 AM

None at all

The GMT Master · 17 August 2010, 11:42 AM

Maybe in a couple of years to coincide with its 50th anniversary, it makes no sense to update it at present

Chipmunk · 17 August 2010, 11:44 AM

It will just be a matter of time before they update it.

EchoBlueUK · 17 August 2010, 11:48 AM

Current model is way too small. They need to maxi it.

I find it the perfect size and weight. Who said that it's too small.

I disagree. The small size is what sets it apart from the bazillions of 7750 chronos out there that are too big. If they upsized the Daytona it would lose it's unusual appeal as a practically sized auto chrono.

Michael N Q8 · 17 August 2010, 04:41 PM

They should not increase the size...This trend of making things bigger and bigger is really pointless, I mean where does it stop?

The only things I would like to see on a Daytona are:

Less bling, i.e. more brushed surfaces, and,
How about a Daytona in Titanium? I would like that...

roger0770 · 17 August 2010, 04:52 PM

why mess with perfection? it won't be a daytona if rolex puts the date function on it.

marke · 17 August 2010, 07:31 PM

A new daytona will be released in 2013

walds11 · 17 August 2010, 07:37 PM

Same here Art. It's the most comfortable watch I have worn.

Hi Mark, any hints as to the functionality? do you think they'll upgrade the 4130?

Thanks and Regards,

Any Rolex model in titanium would be welcome, IMO, esp the tool watches

I just saw a picture, I think on this forum, of Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing a 60 mm watch. Once you go past absurd there doesn't seem to be any stopping.

dalip · 18 August 2010, 12:39 AM

every time I put my Daytona on I realize what a beauty it is....there is no call for Rolex to play with it as far as I can see....but heck...if they did change it I'm sure I'd take a peek.

Joey_V · 18 August 2010, 01:06 AM

I thinks it's perfect as it is.
