I had some free time and decided to tinker again with my Daytona. It seems to be an annual thing with me. What do you think?

2010...

2011...

2012...

I know... I should have just bought an 116519 to begin with right?

bugawako · 5 January 2012, 04:25 AM

PanosI · 5 January 2012, 04:26 AM

nice on Mike..great way to add spice to the Daytona..
on a strap is just smart dress!

Looking good

quite the different watch on a strap, I really like it.

00pumpkin · 5 January 2012, 05:09 AM

Which face is that? My assumption would be white gold but it looks different from others I have seen.

It's a WG dial from an 116519. In fact, my Daytona now looks like an 116519 minus the obvious WG bezel. For the haters, I'm not trying to pose it as something it's not... I just like to spice up my stainless steel Daytona and have all the original parts to return it to stock.

Mike,
What clasp do you have on that stap?

Pete,
It's the stock bracelet clasp. I modified a new Daytona strap to accept the bracelet clasp. It's all original Rolex except Eugene's endlinks.

Looks gorgeous. Great Mod.

topcat30093 · 5 January 2012, 05:41 AM

Nice alteration, you have the best of both worlds, with a black & white dial.

chronoman · 5 January 2012, 05:58 AM

Yes, very nice!

Hm, get's me thinkin' . . .

FeelingTheBlues · 5 January 2012, 06:04 AM

Those are some nice modifications! Can't wait to see what it will look like in 2013...

opaline460 · 5 January 2012, 06:25 AM

Great watch!

T.S.Eliot · 5 January 2012, 06:32 AM

Very nice, from the looks of it your sticking to the white for 2012

In good health,

Cheers,

Chipmunk · 5 January 2012, 06:38 AM

chicagofan · 5 January 2012, 06:40 AM

Fai17 · 5 January 2012, 06:51 AM

Very trick...

Who change the face from back to white?

djmarcox · 5 January 2012, 06:55 AM

I'll take some pics later. It's pretty simple. Biggest problem is that there isn't much adjustment capabilities with the old Daytona clasp. I'm going to try it on a newer clasp to see if it's any better.

TSW · 5 January 2012, 07:03 AM

Nice!

redsea10021 · 5 January 2012, 07:08 AM

Nothing like a Daytona, looks great.

m5blitzer · 5 January 2012, 07:08 AM

My next watch in RG/black dial and still bickering with my 2 ADs on final price.

Congrats and great choice!!!

Good luck with the ADs. I'm still thinking about getting that Daytona as well - I opted for a YG GMTc for now.
