The new Daytona's are beautiful but I'll never be able to get one. Maybe in a few years on the secondary market. The DJ41 corrected the proportion issues of the DJII even if they did not go to 40mm. So this is my favorite. But why not update the SS versions at the same time? I would have bought this as soon as they came out. But now I'll wait til next year.

YM grey with blue second hand followed by the, um, Air-King.

Did I just write that I like the Air-King?

I'm also having trouble bending my head around why Rolex didn't put a ceramic bezel on the WG Daytona.

I did write that I like the Air-King, didn't I..................

Although the Ceramic Daytona is nice, since they didn't add the wide lugs, it is no improvement for me. Same old Same old
On the other hand, the addition of a Jubilee and Rose Gold to the Datejust 41 is excellent.

You like the Air-King or not?

I like the white dial Daytona C and Explorer. Waiting to see both, especially the more affordable Explorer. Never cared for the previous Exp39 due to the black out effect of the 3,6 and 9.

Obviously the Daytona C is going to win this poll for what it represents and the long time weve been waiting for this upgrade but I have to say im very impressed with the new Air King. Its pretty sexy and a nice different complement to a collection :)

I voted ceramic daytona, but that bronze BB piqued my interest, but I'll have to see the 43mm in person. I have also been waiting for the new movement to come into the BB's, but I kinda like the non-rivet bracelet more... maybe a good deal on the ETA BB will be in the cards for me.

I wouldn't doubt that the SS Ceramic Daytona wins this race. It's a great looking piece. For me, thought, the new explorer gets my vote!
