New Daytona Dials from Basel?

I heard that they introduced two new dials for the WG Daytona? There was a previous picture of the white face/black subdial version but I have not seen a picture of the grey version. Can anyone post pictures of all the new Daytona dials. Thanks!

I really like that one too. It has sort of a racing look.

Is this a SS Daytona with solid subsidiary dials or white gold or what? Why has there been so little comment on this major event if, indeed, it is SS...Of course the Rolex bottle cap dial designers decided to busy up the classic solid subsidiary dial look with a hideous extra color ring. Just look at some of the other new dial designs from Basel. Even the quite wonderful DD2 has to have concentric rings on the dial that look like like a slot racing application and the new Deep Sea actually spells out "Ring Lock" inside the dial!! Who are these dial designers? What is classic,what is beautiful. what is esthetic is no longer a Rolex concept..It won't matter, of course. Everything will immediately be bought regardless of the $10,000 plus prices for stainless watches.

The new Daytona dials are only on the gold models..

If you look at the above picture of the black dial, you will notice that the watch is Rose Gold. The Rose Gold and "Newman" style dial was the biggest news about the Daytona to come out of Basel.

I think that the new Sub and Deepsea have grabbed all the journalistic ink the past few days..

Glad you guys enjoyed! That white dial has the "IT" factor, maybe its the Arabic numerals?

It's because they are two fantastic watches. The new BLUE for the SUB is stunning. I just ordered one (yellow gold with blue dial), it will probably arrive at my AD in about a month time.
I'm so glad Rolex comes up with this BLUE color.

It's about time that they offered some new dials for the SS models IMO. I guess there's not much motivation for this when they sell like they do.
