Still No Daytona Precious Metal on Bracelet...

As a matter of fact, I don't see it happening anytime soon. Rolex has their Daytona line positioned just where they want it-and it looks to me like they're gonna sit tight for the foreseeable future, IMO.

Just my two cents, I'll happily eat my words if wrong.

I am sitting tight for when they make it 41mm and this sub melts down. .

I really want a ceramic bezel 2 tone rose gold Daytona, that was the one I was really hoping for (or yg even)

Well, there is one PM Daytona on full bracelet with a ceramic bezel ... but not WG - I understand the pent up demand...

This is a beautiful watch with the ceramic bezel, but someone posted a picture of a watch with this dial and either a SS or WG bezel not long ago and I thought that that looked great too.

Until they see sales of the current Gold Daytona’s start to dip there not introducing anything new.

I outlined in another thread how I wore it to the Mercedes VIP area at a Mid Ohio Cart race and met Paul Newman who was in the Newman Haas racing team VIP area next to us. He was curious about it but said for years he didn’t understand all the hype surrounding a chronograph his wife gave him. That made the watch more special to me and I have worn it more often since. I keep it very clean too.

Great story that makes the sentimental value priceless.

This? It’s the full WG with Steel dial:

I have only two watches with SS bezels and they’re pretty scratched up, but even then, it’s part of the character and story of the watch.



I just don’t think scratch-resistantness is the argument for a ceramic bezel, because a ceramic bezel completely changes the look of the watch. It makes it look more sporty/less classy and changes the entire intent. You’ll still scratch up the bracelet and case anyway.

I think it’s more a design preference.
