Daytona Rainbow, Daytona Leopard, What Else?

There's this Daytona Rainbow. And Daytona Leopard few years ago.

I'm just wondering what other "weird / uncommon" Daytona models out there ever produced?

Many years ago, there was a Yellow beach at an AD here in Dallas. They had it for so long that the top strap was really faded from sitting under the display lights.

Although I couldn't afford it at the time, they offered me a deep discount and would include a new brown strap. We put the brown strap up against it and man did it look sweet. I wish I could/would have bought it.

Actually, I like all of it! But then again, I have a 70's shag haircut and still wear 'flares' and silk shirts. So, clearly I know nothing about style.

I remember most of those 'beach' Daytonas - an acquired taste I guess.

I'm speechless. A platinum DD40 blue would be the "IT" piece for me.

I was told by an AD that those WG "beach'' Daytonas are highly sought-after nowadays as they are not made any more.

Prices don’t seem all that high compared to other gold Daytona models.

There are many variants, I don't like most of them.
The new Everose RBOW however is one of my grail watches, yes it's loud but I absolutely love it.
