I've seen those shots on the site, but I'm having trouble connecting those shots to a Daytona, real or perceived.

42mm AND platinum??? Bold predictions... We'll have to wait to see

Duc5150 · 23 April 2013, 10:34 AM

....there's no denying the fact that Rolex has been introducing larger watches over last several years....DSSD, Sky Dweller, Explorers, etc, etc.....IMO a 42mm SS with ceramic bezel would = HOME RUN for Rolex...and pretty sure when (and if) we see pics the salivating here will begin.....

Just hoping I don't have to wait several years for a 42mm SS daytona to show up on the scene....my $.02

Based on the apparent consistency of the rumor mill across various, disparate sources...my bet is a 42mm Daytona in Platinum.

boogiebot · 23 April 2013, 10:56 AM

Hmmm..... Very interesting. I will save my opinion on if I like it or not until I actually see one. When the sky dweller first came out I was not a fan but to be honest it has really grown in me over the year.

I know a lot of you would be upset to see a 42 mm Daytona but you could always buy a pre loved 40mm pretty easily. Or new old stock from an AD.

I love my current 42mm Chrono (Ahem Speedy Pro)

kerytch · 23 April 2013, 12:42 PM

i guess this would be very expensive....

yemenmocha · 23 April 2013, 01:02 PM

42mm Daytona, no thanks. Thumbs down.

I'm not sure how the teaser shots suggest a 42mm platinum Daytona but at this stage, anything's possible!

padi56 · 23 April 2013, 06:32 PM

Well its a bit late for a 50 year Anniversary Daytona, the Daytona as we know it was first introduced in 1960 so perhaps it will be a 53 year Anniversary,but again perhaps pigs will start to fly..

I guess anniversaries can be what companies or people want them to be. For instance, Omega seemed to get good mileage out of the recent Bond anniversary, despite their own involvement in the franchise being somewhat less than the anniversary. Marketing can magic anything it wants out of its hat...!

Speaking of flying pigs - sad news the other day about the death of Storm Thorgerson, the fella who designed many Pink Floyd album covers.

wasn't the watch introduced in 1960 but the name "daytona" around 1963?

The show starts on the 25th but the Rolex website says they are "unveiling April 24th" which is tomorrow. For some reason I am really looking forward to it despite the fact I'm 99% sure, nothing that interests me is gonna come up. A 42mm Daytona would be a nice size but it will still fall to the Daytona hype in the UK which will lead to it costing a premium.

42mm Daytona is interesting but platinum ? It's gonna cost a fortune.

MonBK · 23 April 2013, 07:23 PM

The press conference starts at 11am on the 24th and we'll start seeing pictures 10-15 minutes later.

belligero · 23 April 2013, 07:44 PM

As the current version's actual diameter is 38.65 mm, 42 mm would be quite a jump in size. I can't see the subdial arrangement of the 4130 working well with that increase. But we'll find out in less than a day...

crowncollection · 23 April 2013, 08:06 PM

Red ceramic something I think likely daytona then easy to add a f1 dial next year.

Right now is there another image... if you look in the right corner you can see that is a bisel from SUB or GMT

I think this images is not a Daytona

accce · 23 April 2013, 11:09 PM

How would a 42mm daytona affect the prices of the used 40mm?

How did the DSSD affect the price of the 16600 model, or the fat case Subs/GMTs? There might be a momentary drop, but they're different watches so I don't foresee a huge long term impact.

cdweller · 23 April 2013, 11:31 PM

Wow 42mm of plat? Sounds....heavy and expensive!

I was thinking that there may be a positive impact on the resale price meaning that it would go up.

What time zone is that?

Mercman1 · 23 April 2013, 11:39 PM

Maybe a 42mm Daytona with a date function and red ceramic??

Can't wait for tomorrow's unveiling...

tomchicago · 23 April 2013, 11:42 PM

a platinum daytona is no accomplishment for rolex. i mean seriously...."eh...yeah....just pour the platinum in the mold instead". if this is the big announcement, it's super lame, akin to Malibu Stacy with the new hat on The Simpsons.

belligero · 23 April 2013, 11:42 PM

I really can't see Rolex adding a date function to the Daytona, nor would I want them to.
