Thanks for sharing them. That chocolate dial Daytona looks sweet!!

Singslinger · 28 July 2011, 08:04 PM

Very nice!

Engi · 28 July 2011, 08:05 PM

Thanks Eric for the post and for the pics

The cream dial Daytona is stunning, IMHO, and it is easier to read ...

It's always a pleasure to see pictures of the South Cost Plaza, I really enjoyed my staying, time ago, in Long Beach

Here's a mock-up of what a SS ceramic daytona could look like. (found it on the net) Not bad IMO.

This would be nice, but is edited on a 16520 not the current 116520 (with silver sub dials). Based on the gold versions, the current 116520 dial would be more likely (unfortunately...)

Looks pretty nice as a mock-up. A black dial one would look a bit "blacked out" which might look pretty cool.

More importantly, the bezel won't get as much hairline scratches as the polished one currently gets.

Time will tell, but it will be interesting to see how this bezel reacts to "hairline scratches" like your watch will normally acquire with wear. I'm not real sure of the durability of the ceramic in this particular configuration.

Z-Sub · 29 July 2011, 01:19 AM

Not sure about the bezel but the brown/chocolate dial is gorgeous

capote · 29 July 2011, 01:24 AM

Judging from the pics I got to say that the ceramic bezel looks good.

the current one is polished and shiny anyway

I'd buy that in a heartbeat

s14roller · 29 July 2011, 04:06 AM

^ It would be tough to resist. Especially if they revised the size. Doesn't seem as far-fetched as it may have been a few years ago...

TheVTCGuy · 29 July 2011, 04:10 AM

I really wonder IF Rolex will release a ceramic bezel in the SS

I'm not saying one way or the other, but it wouldn't be the first time they did something like that; (think all the bezels available in the AG and TT but not the SS version Daytona).

RolexPete32 · 29 July 2011, 04:13 AM

Nice thx for sharing. What is the msrp on the daytona c. thx

gofore59 · 29 July 2011, 10:04 AM

Just about the most un-Rolex looking watches in their lineup. Not my cup of tea, but there is likely a market for them or they would not exist...

Kuya · 29 July 2011, 10:11 AM

The chocolate dial is really nice.

Now I have another Daytona one on my wish list.

Outch snap. I won't be getting one. Here in Canada that 27+ turns into 31 or so even though our dollar is stonger right now

The Archer · 29 July 2011, 12:38 PM

I can just see those Daytona's in a Hershey commercial.
White and black chocolate...........

No, not yet. Still a few weeks out along with the Explorer.

toph · 29 July 2011, 02:04 PM

i really really dont like them at all, ( from the pics) i think the ceramic against the gold and white dial especially makes it look really cheap, plasiticky and tacky.
I have seen many companies use gold and ceramic and it looks a lot nicer than these IMHO

Thanks for the good pics though

Yep, try as I might, I couldn't get anything more than his wrist in front of the camera! He did slip into the Rolex PJ's though!
