Looks ok though

You mean while every nerd has been drooling about a coke gmt (which makes no business sense) - they updated the 115618/19 to have a ceramic bezel like the 116515?

116515 in rose gold with sunburst chocolate face which is preferred over champagne/yellow gold color scheme. I prefer index to arabic which this one has - but - still - falls short of what I have in my inventory so I'm happy with this one :)

So Rolex changes lettering on a sea dweller and adds another Daytona? Total fail.

Rolex in general and daytona in particular, rolex changes only a fraction of a cent every year, they do not improve what is supposed to be a lot of money for them. Anyway rolex is still a great brand, i love it

I am pretty sure that's the Silver Dial catching the light.

I've been waiting for a WG Daytona on an Oysterflex for quite some time. Pretty pumped

Now if they would add some more dial options with color, perhaps sunburst blue, I will have my next grail

Thanks AK797! Considering to be my next daytona.


As a side topic: maybe just me but given the car racing heritage I'm of the opinion that daytonas should have leather straps. Bracelets may be on too, but rubber straps are for divers. Just my opinion. To illustrate that better this is what I do with my 116500:
