24h of Le Mans - Rolex pushing the two tone Daytona

Just watching the 24h of Le Mans, lots of those slightly cheesy "this watch" Daytona adds, but surprisingly not for the C.

Strikes me as odd.

On another note, it's a great race, after a bit of a boring start behind the SC.

I don't really think they need to 'push' the C, whereas the TT you can buy anywhere you want...

I have seen a higher exposure of the TT Daytona at race events and racing literature over the last couple of years more so then say the more modern/costly RG and Plat versions.

As to the reason behind this only Rolex know but given the Daytona is a racing watch I would of expected a more diverse coverage of all the variants!

That's what I was thinking as well. Perhaps it's the one they "need" to push?

TT Daytons are some of the most stunning Rolexes.
