The case is .3mm bigger. Either way the case is 40.5mm -- 2mm bigger than the Daytona.

The current size is definitely too small, it’s a unisex watch rather than a mans watch in my opinion

karleone · 10 August 2021, 06:25 PM

The current Daytona is just perfect!

AK797 · 10 August 2021, 08:25 PM

Ideally I'd like it at a pure 40mm in size, not 38.5, and with a true Panda dial, then it would probably be my top SS, now it remains the Hulk.

Driver8 · 10 August 2021, 08:28 PM

I would love to see it increased in size. Not by much, but certainly a little - maybe to a true 40mm. I’d also like the SS version to have equally sized lugs like the PM versions.

1665fan · 10 August 2021, 08:29 PM

Perfect as is……if you want some jumbo crap get a different brand….

Jb1264 · 10 August 2021, 08:34 PM

Leave it as it is
Zero complaints about the current size. Make the bracelet more brushed
I wouldn’t need another chrono.

garyk · 10 August 2021, 08:39 PM

Rolex will probably continue to be awesome in spite of threads like this one?!

brandrea · 10 August 2021, 08:46 PM

There’s always the Tudor if you’re looking for a larger Chronograph

1William · 10 August 2021, 08:57 PM

I would like to see a new larger case size. I think at some point we will see a Daytona II and it will be a larger size. The original can stay and we could have a choice. At least on paper.

Oxfordian · 10 August 2021, 11:52 PM

Definitely make the Daytona bigger, shrink the bezel and give the dial more room to breath, it will make so much easier to read.

Of course, I am exaggerating. The ceramic Daytona should stay its current size. The DJ is too large at 41mm IMO. It should be 36mm or, at most for a modern dress piece, up to 38mm, but no larger.

It's perfect as is. I would never wear a watch for "wrist presence" purposes.

CoveWatch · 11 August 2021, 04:07 AM

I agree with most that the current gen Daytona is absolutely perfect!

I sincerely agree with this.

yes, obviously...

If the Daytona shrunk to 20mm would you still wear it with that logic?

No, that too small for my eyes to see. I like to be able to read the dial of my watches.

airchitect · 11 August 2021, 11:23 AM

I’d love for the Daytona to be beefed up a bit. I’ve turned down three of them now. One of the reasons? Size. It’s damn near dainty.

Yes !

It's a tool watch, legibility will improve !

Good answer to a nebulous question…

asiparks · 11 August 2021, 12:09 PM

Pearls fiercely clutched by many posters....

In much the same way as you have the Sub, the SD43 and the DSSD, perhaps Rolex might offer a new, larger, legible chrono model, in addition to keeping the Cosmograph in it's current elfin form.

And the Daytona is the best example of this, is it ?

TunaTuna · 11 August 2021, 12:18 PM

The Daytona has been the hardest to get Rolex for as long as I can remember. You have to go way back to find a time it was not loved. This is the watch that started the wait lists. No need to change it

Seaswirl · 11 August 2021, 12:36 PM

Hope they leave the size as is. Would be thrilled if they brushed out the lugs and PCLs though.

shaunylw · 11 August 2021, 01:04 PM

I think it’s perfect, but i am a bit surprised we haven’t seen a size correction. It seems like Rolex has been going through the entire lineup and making them larger.

Just guessing but maybe Rolex knows what they are doing.

If you were able to read a 20mm would you wear it?

RealMadrid1988 · 11 August 2021, 02:26 PM

Nope. The dimensions are perfect as they are. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

whited3 · 11 August 2021, 09:18 PM

Yes this would be the single greatest update I could hope for from rolex. I'm not a fan on the current daytona case. Obviously I hold an unpopular preference here...

+1. Wears smaller for sure compared to my Blnr 40mm gmt
