Icon5 Rolex Singer Prototype Daytonas

Hello all - does anyone know how many Rolex Singer Prototype Daytonas were actually produced, Non-Newman? I have tried researching but have only seen descriptions like "very rare" or "unique" and that could mean 1, 10, 100, 1000 etc.

Any info would be appreciated.

Well.. If prototypes I’d guess they are pretty unique. Without really having any info on the topic I think most prototype dialed watches from this era are put together later. The dials were available in catalogues and some seem to have figured a way into watches. I doubt Rolex ever released any complete watches with prototype dials.

Philipp Stahl knows more on the topic:

Yes thank you. I suppose I am asking/wondering how many are floating out there.

i guess the answer could be anywhere from 0 to dozens or hundreds depending on whether you are asking about a "prototype" produced by Singer or a factory in Vietnam.
