Very nice... cant wait to see it in person.

matt4hand · 28 July 2011, 07:13 AM

I like them a lot! Great lines and the gold and black is stunning.

MortgageGuy · 28 July 2011, 07:16 AM

WOW, these look awesome!!! Thanks for the pics

Paulie 50 · 28 July 2011, 07:35 AM

This model fails to excite me in any way, shape, or form, it's a caricature of the Iconic 70s model, and in my humble opinion will never catch on.

Michael M. · 28 July 2011, 07:40 AM

Great store, love Merdads 1680!!!! Nice watches!

hrheim · 28 July 2011, 07:50 AM

is there a all steel version in ceramic?

PHDX2 · 28 July 2011, 07:54 AM

Looking forward to the YG on bracelet version.

nauticajoe · 28 July 2011, 07:54 AM

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing.

No there is not, but I guess Rolex will eventually come around to a SS Daytona-C.

BeekerMuppet · 28 July 2011, 08:10 AM

Thanks for sharing! I love rose gold. Maybe one day i'll have the pleasure of wearing a rose gold luxury watch.

ersnyder · 28 July 2011, 09:24 AM

Never been a big lover of RG myself but these two beauties have me thinkin'...

007bond · 28 July 2011, 09:32 AM

While more choices are welcome, seems the Daytona model is moving from its functional appeal toward becoming more of jewelry than watch. The photos are excellent though, and I've visited this store, it's awesome.

A.J.R. · 28 July 2011, 09:38 AM

Love em both.

In Greece they will arrive September

..and you thought Greeks are broke...

2 month vacations are one of the reasons Greece is broke! Get back to work!

www777 · 28 July 2011, 11:03 AM

Really cool. Like the ivory dial. Not sure if I should opt for the ivory dial or get an older rose gold/ever rose gold on bracelet?

Megalobyte · 28 July 2011, 11:12 AM

Nice! I'm sorry, are you wearing Rolex pajamas at the mall?

Not me but Mehrdad was! What a guy!

CharlieSF · 28 July 2011, 11:56 AM

Funny, I think the exact opposite. I'm not big on the Daytona overall but these look like they're actually worth spending money on. They look like they're worth every cent. To each his own I guess, the beauty of this forum!

Great shots - thanks for sharing.

I also saw them both in London at the GTG - they were popular with the other guys but just did not do it for me either. There's simply too much going on and the watch looked 'over-pushed' - i.e. trying to be something. But luckily we enjoy different tastes!!

Mine may change but not before the new exp II arrives on my wrist...that was the absolute winner for me when we tried them on!!

JUSTROLEXES · 28 July 2011, 12:06 PM

Thanks for sharing Eric,
I would have to see it in person but so far not crazy about the back bezel black numbers but sure love the Chocolate dial

dddrees · 28 July 2011, 12:20 PM

Great PICs, thanks for sharing.

They definitely look interesting, can't wait to see one in person.

scl6118 · 28 July 2011, 12:25 PM

I'm not sure about the ceramic on a Daytona, time will tell if it grows on me.

harrishc · 28 July 2011, 01:00 PM

Looks gorgeous. The ceramic bezel is growing on me. I wonder if it's possible to do a bezel swap on current generation daytonas.

s14roller · 28 July 2011, 01:02 PM

I wonder when they will do the normal SS models with the ceramic as well.

chicagofan · 28 July 2011, 01:20 PM

Thanks for posting the pics.

roley4life · 28 July 2011, 01:20 PM

Great pics of the watches, but please post more pics of the shirt!

normandy · 28 July 2011, 01:56 PM

No new Exp2 yet?

htc8p · 28 July 2011, 02:12 PM

i dont like it. chocolate is for eating. black bezel is for playing around with.

rolex shouldnt have slapped ceramic on everything.
