I know it's probably too early to start discussing next year's Baselworld but with the incredible redesign made to the GMT for it's anniversary, I'm hoping to see something new for the Daytona.

I know many think it's already close to perfect, as do I, but I'd like to see Rolex update the design while maintaining the legacy and heritage of the watch, no easy task though!

Thoughts?

Boothroyd · 29 April 2012, 10:37 AM

Several EXPENSIVE anniversary editions!

Dr. Robert · 29 April 2012, 10:39 AM

Green trim????

Grissom · 29 April 2012, 10:40 AM

A price increase??

Boothroyd · 29 April 2012, 10:48 AM

A price increase AND a shift of inventory from EU and North America to Asia!

Satsu · 29 April 2012, 11:22 AM

Platinum Daytona? No idea.

RedGlasses · 29 April 2012, 11:24 AM

an updated paul newman daytona? SS with ceramic black bezel... 2 tones dial...

I think a touch of green would be interesting

Wacker23 · 29 April 2012, 01:07 PM

Wow plat Daytona plat dial.

MortgageGuy · 29 April 2012, 01:12 PM

Green ceramic bracelet and case

caryyee · 29 April 2012, 01:22 PM

Ceramic bezel on a bracelet.

nick c · 29 April 2012, 01:53 PM

date

gwalker · 29 April 2012, 02:16 PM

I'm not expecting anything special. Maybe some stranger editions than the leopard Daytona and rainbow daytona. IMHO not a whole lot more to do to the Daytona.

If they really want to do something GREAT add a date.

Sam Philip · 29 April 2012, 02:19 PM

Ceramic bezel, touch of green in the dial and a price increase for sure

Tri-Tip · 29 April 2012, 03:10 PM

Please, please, please add a date!!!

chhatre9 · 29 April 2012, 03:14 PM

Green somewhere on it, ceramic if we are lucky. def no date :)

TSW · 29 April 2012, 03:44 PM

As it is Rolex a new dial, or a new color on the strap could be their big news, So not hoping for much.

robsantagate@gmail · 29 April 2012, 03:54 PM

Ceramic on Stainless, racing dial. They have to do it sooner or later.

dmitrii_ · 29 April 2012, 04:11 PM

A part of me believes that there will be changes announced for next year.

Perhaps a bigger size, but probably not.

Ceramic bezels across the board may be likely however.

This is the reason I am holding out on a purchase of a YG Daytona until sometime next year. Would hate to commit to a 25k watch the year before it is updated.

Was at an AD today in Forest Hills, NY and had this very same discussion.

They had just got in the rose gold w. ceramic bezel and chocolate dial. Ceramic bezel looks great but AD wasn't so sure that the change would take place on all Daytonas.

As far as date goes, I really don't think that it's in the cards as the movement would have to be changed.

I share your opinion..

roger0770 · 29 April 2012, 05:19 PM

ceramic bezel and green "daytona" letters instead of red. perhaps green chronograph hand?

Kingair · 29 April 2012, 06:22 PM

Basel will offer a free price increase on all models ;-)

You can expect nothing until its announced at Basel 2012.

globalmedia33 · 29 April 2012, 08:14 PM

Maybe we will see a Daytona Date with new movement, in WG, RG, and Two Tone.

joejitsu · 29 April 2012, 08:20 PM

perhaps new dials for SS.

Monte Cristo · 29 April 2012, 08:32 PM

Peter (padi56), do you think this could be a possibility seeming this would mean (i assume and pls correct me if i'm wrong) a movement change ?

Agree--along with a price increase.

s14roller · 30 April 2012, 12:33 AM

Would hope for a date...but more importantly, a revised bezel (ceramic would be great) and a size revamp. 40mm for a dress watch is OK, but for something in the sports line, I think 41-42mm makes more sense.

impalass · 30 April 2012, 12:47 AM

Paul Newman dail and black bezel on the SS.

Long overdue imo.
