Courtesy of the Rolex website. Interesting model.

I really liked the looks of it though I won't buy a gold watch with rubber strap.

Investr · 22 March 2017, 10:37 PM

WG is sweet! But I agree with above

DramaTurtle · 22 March 2017, 10:38 PM

Gold with rubber?? I overestimated Rolex's taste this year apparently...

kitsgq · 22 March 2017, 10:38 PM

The WG with steel /black panda looks stunning on the rubber strap. Definitely a serious consideration for me.

AK797 · 22 March 2017, 10:38 PM

This is my fave. WG, Panda, Oysterflex, looking forward to trying this on. And the YG. Rubber is common with AP and PP, Rolex are just trying to get there, esp when they have the best strap of them all.

RichM · 22 March 2017, 10:39 PM

I was hoping for it on a Oyster Braclet myself. Better luck next year.

Agree. The WG definitely gets my vote!!

Gharddog03 · 22 March 2017, 10:54 PM

Not bad.

Duplicate post.

MickCollins1916 · 23 March 2017, 02:54 AM

I like the look of it in both YG and WG...but I was not expecting it on the oysterflex. Bold design choice and I will definitely look forward to trying it on. But I'm not jumping out of my seat in excitement over it. Still, it will be nice to see them in person.

This isn't the first year of gold with rubber....

Best thing Rolex showed at Baselworld

GlasgowChris · 23 March 2017, 03:06 AM

Doesn't work for me have to be honest.

Love the oysterflex.

bostonrecruit · 23 March 2017, 03:07 AM

looks stupid

GB-man · 23 March 2017, 03:14 AM

Should have given us them on bracelets. The WG would have been sick.

swish77 · 23 March 2017, 03:15 AM

Rubber on a non-dive watch makes little sense, IMHO. Nice black leather or gator, absolutely. Rubber? Why?

What were wrong with the discontinued Panda dial on the Rolex Crocodile band !

For only 28000 $ get this nice gold watch comes with a free rubber strap thingy. Seriously though They should do what VC does and include the bracelet and straps.

Mine will become COLLECTIBLE

Tvall13 · 23 March 2017, 03:40 AM

Can someone photoshop the new white gold ceramic on to a white gold bracelet?

NLYogi · 23 March 2017, 03:41 AM

I am sure the quality is tops but to me it is not a object of desire

Why not? I have a rubber b on my 116515 and I am very happy with it. It is sporty now, just like any other Daytona and I can take it on the beach and into the pool without having to ruin my leather strap.

IMHO the Daytona is not a fancy/dressy watch. The rubber on RG and WG is perfectly at home. I am on the fence about the YG model.

I agree, it's a chronograph so it's a sporty watch, plus leather straps are not a good idea during the hotter months unless you are very stationary. Good to have both options.

I prefer WG but the champagne dial on the DJ41 surprised me with how nice it is so it might still be an option if the silver/steel dial is not that great in real life.

Yes, of course, anything can be done, including NATOs, and look OK. But rubber was originally intended for use on dive watches. Just doesn't look/seem right on a chronograph, IMHO, especially one as iconic as a Daytona. Same with a Speedy Pro. It just wouldn't be right. Maybe I'm too old school.
