Please make it legible, for crying out loud...!!!

Frank McKay · 5 August 2018, 07:54 AM

Perfectly legible for me. Might be time to see the eye doctor

Roger Lococco · 5 August 2018, 07:58 AM

Looks fine to me :)

NEXT STEP: make more Daytonas

CalSRQ1 · 5 August 2018, 08:13 AM

Love my Daytona...but legibility has never been its strong point. I feel sorry for any driver trying to mark time on the tiny subdials. Still...

Singslinger · 5 August 2018, 08:31 AM

I think telling time on the white dial is easier than the black.

SLS · 5 August 2018, 08:33 AM

I have to agree...my eyesight is deteriorating.

jcdeng · 5 August 2018, 08:39 AM

Make it 43mm.

sensui · 5 August 2018, 08:41 AM

Never really had an issue either...

MinMay · 5 August 2018, 08:44 AM

perfect as is...they can't please everyone. you should look into Omega :)

c41006 · 5 August 2018, 08:47 AM

I wouldn’t say that the Daytona is the most legible Rolex out there but I don’t think it’s too bad

Vivalas · 5 August 2018, 09:00 AM

I’ve been telling Rolex to make it 42mm, ceramic and a blue dial option for years!!

They listened to me on the ceramic bit!!

Well I think they listened

Etschell · 5 August 2018, 09:03 AM

this is one of the worst threads i have ever seen, it is pretty illegible.

I really hope they don’t make it larger. I feel like we are already at or near the zenith of the large watch era.

exador · 5 August 2018, 09:24 AM

TheWatchEnthusiast · 5 August 2018, 09:44 AM

It’s legible enough now but they could maybe increase it to be a true 40mm or even maybe 41mm giving more space for larger sub dials.
Just my opinion. I understand that the hardcore Daytona fans think it’s just perfect the way it is but I see space for improvement.
Having said that though I really don’t believe that the Daytona would get any changes for the foreseeable future.

Or a digital Casio might be even more appropriate.......

Onikage · 5 August 2018, 11:33 AM

Chronos aren't as instantly legible as a Diver. Except maybe the Tudor chrono but I don't see much hope for you if you're seriously unable to read a Daytona.

Seaswirl · 5 August 2018, 11:48 AM

No problem reading the time on my white 116500. Try a Speedy Pro.

Raynatic · 5 August 2018, 12:44 PM

arrange an appointment with your doctor

Speedy pro is very legible.

Question for those who have both Daytona SS models. Is it true the white is more legible than the black?

I have both and it depends on the lighting.

Each comes with both a bracelet, and an OysterFlex rubber strap in the box.

I think Rolex should just make more Daytona.

Rashid.bk · 5 August 2018, 04:56 PM

The Daytona has always had a slight legibility problem. It plays with angles a lot. This is the reason I edge toward the white dial.

watchmework · 5 August 2018, 05:05 PM

I do agree that in general it is fairly difficult to read the time at a quick glance. This is something I feel particularly strong about, that you should be able to read the time pretty quickly when you look at your watch. That, in combination of it being a small 40mm, is why I’ll likely never own one.
