SS Daytona also updated

[wesleyvs]

check out the Rolex.com website for details...

The SS Daytona now has the case of the WG and RG ones but still the old bezel, so has the YG version the newer case but not the new bezel.
(Newer case is with thicker lugs and different crownguard)

Cheers

I thought I noticed that. It's very minor but I ever so slightly prefer the thinner lugs where the end piece is more flush with the lugs but most people want even notice it. I wish they had been more subtle with the sub-c lugs like the Daytona.

[Rani Drama]

??? Can you show pics showing what you mean? I am wanting to pick up a SS White dial in the next few months.

[richard371]

I have a thread on this if you look down a bit it a very small change and at first I though it was the angle.

nope not the angle your right :)

the lugs are all the same width normally on the SS and YG Daytonas the lugs on the right side were smaller then the ones on the left, also the crownguard is bit fatter.

it does make the bezel look smaller however.

cheers

[wetoey]

the new Daytona have a wider lug than older one

New one (lugs are wider and right lug connect with Pusher)


Older one (right lug is not connect with Pusher)

[xjeeunitx]

I have a feeling that there are no updates and that the photo was photoshopped. Lets wait until the eatches actually hit the shelves but i am sure that there arr no changes.

[xjeeunitx]

Sorry for the spelling errors i am on my galaxy note.

[MovieGuy]

Its exactly the same. No changes have been made.

I really do not see a difference between both . . .

[Monte Cristo]

Yes indeed, it does look a little more "beefed up"

Thats quite normal even on a brand new watch and as standard from the factory and is been the same way for 40 years on most all of the sports watch line up.On all of the sports line up the crown side of the case is shaped very slightly differently from the non-crown side.On the crown side its very slightly narrower and that's quite normal, then gently flares out to form the winding crown guard same for lugs on watches like DJ.

There has been a slight difference in the cases between the gold Daytona and SS and TT Daytona in recent years. As the OP noted, the lugs are thicker on the gold versions...also the sides of the case protrude out beyond the bezel ever so slightly. On the SS Daytona, the bezel is even with the outer most edge of the case at the 9 o'clock position. Also, on the gold daytona, the the lugs are longer and have a sharper edge to them on the underside.

If Rolex is changing the SS Daytona case to match the gold Daytona, then I'm for it...as the gold model wears slightly larger due to its slightly larger case!

[dardeca]

Also, the end links on the current SS Daytona bracelet line up evenly with the ends of the lugs. On the new picture above, the end of the end link actually is slightly longer and does not line up with the end of case lugs (ala: gold daytona).

Lol...this is kind of like testing accuracy to see if the watch is +/- 1 sec...

[The GMT Master]

I would not pay any attention to changes on the website. I remember a couple of years back when the picture of the 14060M on the website changed to have solid end links. Cue mad hysteria, but no physical changes. I think the models on the website are just computer generated

I disagree 100%. Noticing subtle differences in case design is NOT the same as scrutinizing over +/- 1 second of time. I'm surprised more WIS don't recognize the difference. I've noticed the difference in SS and gold case designs for several years now. And given the educated folks we have here on the board, I would expect the same from them.

Well, last year the website had the correct case design on each respective Daytona...so I'm hoping the update is not merely an oversight on the web designers.

[Roller07]

I would go to their website but I'm not going to until they change that abomination they now call a website.

[GradyPhilpott]

I agree that the crown guards on the new watch are larger than the crown guards on the older watch, at least as portrayed in the pictures.

As someone noted, there have been inaccurate pictures used in Rolex brochures and on the website before, so I guess we'll have to wait to see the watches or maybe until we get some reports from our scouts in the field.

[patek.wis]

the change MAY be made to accomodate the new bezel style as it may look slightly better with the beefier lugs and a ceramic bezel

anticipation?

Very cool. Nice catch.

[ciscopro2000]

If this is indeed true that they updated the case, then I do like the changes.

[richard371]

Its a toss for me. Things look more balanced and flush on the original. Also the bezel on the original looks slightly bigger since the case doesn't protrude pas where the pushers are but the slightly wider lugs on the new one help make up for it. The difference is so small many are still not convinced. The lighting makes the SS look much nicer in the first pic which gives it the advantage.

[mmmk604]

The end links seem to protrude out further from the lugs now.

Edit: my bad, it's already been mentioned.

[Ray6Chan8]

Now, the long wait begins. I wonder how long will it take for the new style ss Daytona to hit the stores.

[Cru Jones]

nice catch!

Well then open your eyes Subs, SD,DJ,YM,GMT, etc, the crown side lug are a fraction smaller as they have been for many many many years..
