EDIT 1 :

1. FLAT 4 DIALS 2001-2005

This dial can be also found on 2005-2006 models . I've managed to find a 2005 D serial and 2 other 2006 daytonas on chrono24 using a flat4 dial. the 2006 models howver can as well be 2005 so i'd limit my range to 2001-2005 for this dial type.

2. LOWER E dials 2002-2009 - mostly seen though on 2007-2009 daytonas.

3. Serif Cosmograph dials ( EDIT ) 2003-2011 :

I initially though this dial was found only on daytonas made up till 2009 but i later found several others from 2010, 2011 using the same dial.

I've also managed to find this dial on some 2012 and 2013 watches, but i can't really be sure these ones were indeed manufactured in those particular years (many chrono24 sellers often offer missleading or wrong info about their watches.

One thing's sure, on these 2012-2013 watches the clasp long (was new style) ,serial was random and the SEL was one piece, but so are the vast majority of the 2011 models .



5. APH Dials ~2006-2016 :

Looking on chrono24 again, i've found the white APH dial present on the daytona as early as 2006-2008 . But as i said , all info reagarding watches found on chrono should be taken with a grain of salt.

So in order to narrow the results for this dial type, i'll list below all APH dials found on chrono along their correspondig year :

2006 - 1 dial
2007 - 1 dial
2008 - 2 dials
2009 - 4 dials
2010 - 5 dials
2011 - 3 dials
2012 - 3 dials
2013 - 10 dials - only 1 other dial model was found for 2013
2014 - 7 dials - no other dial models were found for 2014
2015 - 15 dials - no other dial models were found for 2015
2016 - 3 dials

As you can see, this dial was mostly used on watches made between 2013-2016 but sadly this info is not enaugh to establish an exact manufacturing year .



Another intersting thing i've found is that 2015 may have been a transitional year for the rehaut engraving :

2015 - transitional year

- reahut can be either engraved or laser etched
- hands are fat
- New style clasp - sanded or polished for the later 2015 models !
- SEL is one piece
- Lume is blue

Laser etched 2015 daytona :



I'm really sorry i haven't stumbled upon these details a bit earlier so i could have included them in my initial post .
