same here! I called a AD, its very limited for now. They told me only 2 allotted per AD. Any truth to this? I am guessing we can always switch around the dials?

Daytona vs Daytona Ceramic side by side
The White Daytona with Black bezel is what I have been waiting for. Looked at the SS Daytona and because of my love for the 6263 I could not buy one of the SS models.
My order is in! Copy on my wall in my office!

I think the new Ceramic Daytona looks better in renders than actual photos, I will have to see one in person.

I personally think both have a great look, but the new ceramic bezel takes away from what I envision a Daytona to be...
Guess it depends on what you like - MP |

Same here - have passed on a SS Daytona before but might give the new one a go. I think a lot of people who would like to land a 6263 might go that way also? |

More and more this is becoming a must have item. I always worry about Daytona bezel dents and scratches. Now that this issues has been address, this is an ideal daily wearer.

Side by side.. Wow both of then looks good.
The ceramic looks better in the professional pictures and not as good in real life pictures. But like most people say ceramic is hard to photo well. SS looks good here , agree with SS looks for dressy and ceramic more sporty |

The best answer is to get both old and new but in opposite colors. Then you have your bases covered.

I don't see the new one replacing the older one, I see a new choice. I hope both stay in production so that you could buy both in either colour. After all, they are just offering another choice of face and bezel colour so it would not be a problem to offer both. I would like to see a watch with the new darker sub dials with the SS bezel. I think that that would look good, but I can't see that choice being offered unfortunately! |

The third material makes it less traditional IMHO. Ceramic works for a sub because the colored ring standing out became iconic pretty early in the model lineup. For the Daytona the ceramic ring devaluates it for me personally.
I like the traditional metal/glass combo. Now it's metal/ceramic/glass |

I had to flip that pic and narrow it down because looking at the original whilst standing on my head was blurring my judgement with all that blood in my noggin.
I think cleaner text on the C500 dial and stark contrast of the bezel is a winner. Also, in low light, the PVD'd Platinum deposited in the Tachymeter scale will be more visible.

I like that the sub-dials are returning to black ala the Zenith model. The silver sub-dials seemed to get lost in my opinion.
