The only change I am interested in for the Daytona is legibility. The hands disappear on the dial, this is not a useful timepiece for me.

I find the size and shape of the watch PERFECT.

Rolex seem to be behind the curve….the watches were too small when we all wanted massive watches and now we are trending towards small ones Rolex is giving us bigger ones

legibility and aesthetic is a trade off, you can't have both.

100٪ . There is nothing called 60th anniversary, Rolex is not Omega. It's 25,50,75,100, etc

Offer the Daytona in 42mm on top of the current 40mm, so that everyone's happy, just like they're doing with the Yacht-Master.

Lots of "no's" on here... but I guarantee if it did come out as a 41mm, everyone would be going absolutely ga-ga for it in no time. It's how it always goes with new models.

Not only should they keep the size as is, they should make the explorer 2 and sub back to its original size.

Yes, I'd love if they offered a 42mm.

As much as I like them, they are currently too small (IMHO) for my 7.75" wrists.

The current size is too small; very underwhelming. 42mm would be much better.

No it is perfect as is. It's not supposed to be a large sports watch, but rather an elegant sports watch. If you want a bigger Daytona, but one in WG, RG, Platinum, or on Oyster Flex.

I find mine to be perfect for my 7.5 inch as well. Some people just seem to really prefer and/or are skewed towards overly large watches imo.

No. I like the Daytona the way it is. I have bigger watches I can wear if I want to.

If they reduced the bezel size(width)...that would be just as effective.

This is interesting. Can you explain more? I always thought that a larger bezel makes the watch look bigger. You seem to be implying the opposite...
