Not at all. Anything >= 36mm cuts the customer base IMHO.

Bezel would be the same diameter but thinner width. Dial would be bigger and the whole watch would look larger.

Go check out some 40mm Grand Seiko Heritage examples. Smaller bezel, larger dial, and they definitely look larger as a result. It also helps that the dials themselves are not terribly busy (with the exception of the power reserve indicator…and two logos…ok maybe they are kind of busy).

Or…perhaps just side-by-side compare a DD40 to a GMTII or even a Sub 41.

Considering Rolex size claims vs actual a 42mm Daytona would probably only be 40.5mm. Of course there would be a constant barrage of comments claiming the new Daytona 42 was a “monster”, “dinner plate”, blah blah etc etc.

Gerardus · 7 January 2023, 06:29 PM

I think current size fits the bill.

Not true.
The DD40 Olive is a 60th.

Krash · 8 January 2023, 01:13 AM

Yes.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a new Daytona with an actual size of a modern Submariner. Not sure I’d want it to be as big as a SkyDweller…

I hope for no changes at all. I am finally due to expect white stainless Daytona sometime in 2023 and I want it exactly as I have been dreaming of for all these years !! ..coming from a 7.5 inch wrist guy! I have the black dial steel Daytona and am fine with how it wears and how it looks on me from a distance and so on…. I think people hyper focus on wrist size and not enough on shape. Wrist SPAN is what is more important about how a watch looks on someone IMHO…. I have muscular arms so my 7.5 is very drastically different looking than a overweight wrist at 7.5 if that makes sense

Anyway not what the thread is about, back on topic I really hope it is not changed at all.. If they want to add a dial here or there for TT or some of the gold ones.. discontinue a few whatever !! Just please leave the SS ceramic alone !! I NEED the white dial, it’s about the only thing my collection is missing and yet its the one I have been after the most. It will be a very exciting day is all I can say!

misterpeanut · 8 January 2023, 01:29 AM

No, because right now it's versatile enough to be used as a ladies' watch.

Joearch · 8 January 2023, 01:32 AM

I believe PM Daytona is slightly larger w thicker lugs.

Yes, it’s too small and thin

swish77 · 8 January 2023, 03:15 AM

Why would Rolex change arguably their most sought-after, iconic watch?

It's not as if they're not selling. Even in a down market, they're way over retail on the secondary market.

It ain't broke, so don't fix it.

I'm suggesting a more narrow bezel would allow for a larger dial with no increase in overall case size. Omega calls the Speedmaster a 42 but without crown guards it is a 40.

EEpro · 8 January 2023, 09:05 AM

The subdials are large enough they are just wasted negative space inside to meet some other requirement such as an aesthetic design goal vs legibility.

oroloi · 8 January 2023, 10:30 PM

I would like them to increase the amount they make.

And to answer your question…….No

goog53 · 9 January 2023, 01:25 AM

No as it is perfect IMO. All the other Rolex sport model cases are a bit bulky Sub-GMT2-Exp2-SD43-Deepsea. The Daytona case size has stayed the same from 1988 to now for a reason. And it doesnt need a date wheel either LOL!

eskiserkan · 9 January 2023, 05:32 AM

41mm is coming in 2023

nyc2la · 9 January 2023, 05:45 AM

No need to increase the size, just make the lugs symmetrical on the SS (and full YG).

Another vote here that the current size is perfect.

I would like to see the option for a ceramic bezel on the full gold models though
