it would work well with my brown shoes

but i'm too much of a tight arse to pay that kind of money for what is just another rolex ref

i'd go patek for that kind of money

Cru Jones · 24 April 2013, 10:36 PM

personally, i think this could look good in the flesh.

and, when the SS model with black ceramic comes out in a year or two, having the brown ceramic will help differentiate the platinum.

Yuck

expat1 · 24 April 2013, 10:37 PM

Nope

mtrunner · 24 April 2013, 10:38 PM

I at first thought I liked it but the more I look at it I am changing my mind. If they went with black or even a white insert and kept the same dial this would have been stunning.

Vincent65 · 24 April 2013, 10:42 PM

gorgeous

jay1988 · 24 April 2013, 10:43 PM

Should of gone with the blue ceramic from the SS YMII.

mjclark32 · 24 April 2013, 10:44 PM

Looks better in this pic than on Rolex.com, IMO.

Thanks for sharing the live shots Puffy

00pumpkin · 24 April 2013, 10:56 PM

I liked it when I saw it online because I thought the brown color was a lot darker. I do not like the color scheme now that I see it with a live photo. I think a black ceramic bezel with that blue dial and silver subdials (like the SS) would have looked much better.

What I don’t get is who signs off on this stuff?

tkc324 · 24 April 2013, 10:58 PM

Def not for me...

Agreed I thought initially the brown was a lot darker. The brown in this pictrure is pretty light and doesn't go well at all.

kryten2001 · 24 April 2013, 11:03 PM

Chocolate dial, full gold Daytona on leather looks so much nicer than this if you want brown...

Love that variant.

AK797 · 24 April 2013, 11:03 PM

Should have a platinum bezel if its going to cost £35-40K or more, like on the DD. Ice blue and platinum is the ultimate combo here.

Armyguy03 · 24 April 2013, 11:05 PM

It's an interesting combination. If I had a car the color of the dail and the interior was wood lined it would look lovely. With the right outfit this would be very nice. I can see more women picking this up as it would look stunning on any lady....being a Rolex and all. Not bad, it'll sell, just not for me.

DT14 · 24 April 2013, 11:16 PM

Hideous !!

Kobin · 24 April 2013, 11:17 PM

psv · 24 April 2013, 11:17 PM

Even Rolex have realized that the Daytona is first and foremost ladies jewelry at this point.

xywatch · 24 April 2013, 11:19 PM

I'd buy it but only with 80% discount

yessir69 · 24 April 2013, 11:19 PM

It looks like the chocolate SkyDweller's ugly girlfriend.

I like the color combo, but I agree with the above statement... Lady celebrities will trample each other for this reference... IMO.

Michael M. · 24 April 2013, 11:39 PM

I'd really have to see it in person........

While I disagree with the first part (I love my Daytona), I agree that this particular Daytona is really girly. I see this and I think 'Tiffany's'.

I have no idea where did they come up with the choice of colours..
