This would be the ultimate CERAMIC bezel DAYTONA

Loving the new ceramic bezel on the Daytona. I think black sub dial accents like the Zenith dial would go so perfectly with the black ceramic bezel. What do you guys think? Could be the perfect modern Daytona if Rolex would release something with this color combo. Love it!

Very nice, but can you edit to show this with the white gold panda dial

I agree, this is the combo that'd I'd be after if they came out in SS. The new 2011 one does nothing for me.

"WINNING" alla Charlie Sheen. That combo looks great. A vintage look with modern day touches.

Wow! Just wow! I would drop cash on either of those in a heartbeat. I hope there is a Rolex designer lurking out there that stumbles across these...

That panda dial with ceramic bezel looks damn sexy! Wow!!!

I think some sort of white/silver dial with black accents really balance well with the all black bezel. Black face would be nice too, but may be too much black for my taste. I love the contrast.

I hope Rolex is listening!

100% with you Andrew!

The classic layout with the auxiliary dials centered to 3-9, and the black ceramic bezel...WOW.

Why don't we get this one?
Are they blind in Geneva??? (I suppose YES, it is the french speaking part of Switzerland....)

very nice but Rolex would never use that dial again as it was phased out around 2000 when they introduced there own movement rather than Zeniths. The second one is possible and i like it alot!!
