So I was surprised today to find at the Rolex dealer that thy just received an updated platinum daytona wih diamonds on the dial (not talking about the all diamond face model announced earlier this year)

Alfredo. · 5 October 2014, 05:03 AM

Hmmmm.

I think I´ll stick to the original dial.

landroverking · 5 October 2014, 06:10 AM

Not my cup of tea.

Memcwhirter · 5 October 2014, 06:13 AM

Prefer the original dial.

FTX I · 5 October 2014, 06:19 AM

Nice. First dial with diamonds that I like. That said, I still prefer the one without.

metooxx · 5 October 2014, 06:32 AM

Never liked the first one. I do like this; and would buy it except I still don't like the brown ceramic. Maybe next year they will offer as all platinum.

Time Exposure · 5 October 2014, 06:45 AM

The most tasteful diamond markers I have yet seen. But like others, I still prefer it without.

Fiery · 5 October 2014, 06:45 AM

I'm not a diamond kinda guy, but that is very subtle and tastefully done. I don't think I'd pay the premium over the "classic" Platona, but I'm glad Rolex is capable of doing things so elegantly with diamonds.

schwoo · 5 October 2014, 06:46 AM

I prefer the original-

Chelseafan · 5 October 2014, 06:49 AM

That's nice...very subtle and sophisticated!

Very nice

Lol-x · 5 October 2014, 08:29 AM

Interesting, but they have also deleted the brown rings around the sub-dials.
I think I prefer the original dial, but that is purely an aesthetic preference.

sea-dweller · 5 October 2014, 08:29 AM

I like the original...

ltmgeller · 5 October 2014, 08:30 AM

I saw one last week, not my cup of tea.

locutus49 · 5 October 2014, 08:45 AM

I'm not a diamond guy, but it is good for those who are.

HL65 · 5 October 2014, 09:04 AM

This is one of the 2 new ones from Basel this year and yes there are now 3 platinum Daytona's. Much prefer the original as well to the two new diamond ones.

incontrol · 5 October 2014, 09:52 AM

I like the original dial more than the new ones with diamonds. To me, the new dials look like they are missing something.

T01 · 5 October 2014, 10:10 AM

Nice, but I still prefer the original model.

Memcwhirter · 5 October 2014, 10:23 AM

Chocolate subdials would have looked better with the diamonds.

Racerdj · 5 October 2014, 10:25 AM

Nice catch!

texex91 · 5 October 2014, 10:31 AM

Ahhhh, no.

Rootbeer · 5 October 2014, 10:34 AM

brown bezel + diamond face = choc ice!

Yes Platona came out in 2013, this face was offered as a choice at Basel 2014

Dokbrick · 5 October 2014, 12:22 PM

Diamonds do not belong on men's watches.
