I guess I'm in the minority on this thread...'cause I would LOVE to see a Daytona-Date. Why so many scream, "No...don't change an icon!" is beyond me and I'll never understand that point of view.

I'm not asking Rolex to REPLACE the Daytona w/ a Daytona-Date, I'm asking them to ADD another to the line. Give us more options and let US choose which one we like the most. If you fancy yourself a 'purist Daytona owner', great, then continue to buy the dateless Daytona. But for those of us like me that absolutely must have a date, it would finally bring us into Daytona ownership. Yeah, that sounds like an awful business move!

I've said it before & I'll say it again...if Rolex would have embraced this attitude of not offering more watches w/ dates decades ago, the Sub-Date would have never been debuted and all we would have to choose from is the original Sub sans date.

Someone remind me how popular the Sub-Date is these days! Oh yeah, that's right, it's pretty much the most popular Rolex sport watch & far out sells the original Sub due to said popularity. Again, makes no sense to me to continue to live in the watch dark ages and refuse to update & offer more options to such a great watch as the Daytona.
