I think the new case shape will give the watch a bigger feel...I also am not a fan of the Daytona on a strap....The WG and SS models on bracelets will be interesting when they finally come out. BUt for now...this one can stay of my radar.

X2. I think ceramic bezel on SS should be interesting upgrade. I will wait for that one. (because I cant afford this one )

Umm....nothing would look good on Victoria Beckham! And...everything would look good on her. guess that about says it all! As for the new Daytona, looks classy to me but still a pricey watch! I don't need a chrono!

Thanks for sharing these, Larry. When I first saw the smaller photo of this, I was non-plussed, but these photos convince me that Rolex has accomplished the impossible by improving on the classic. The etched, black ceramic bezel is a winner! And with a black alligator strap, it compliments the case making this new design a stunner. How long will I have to wait for these to hit ADs?

That is a ceramic bezel isn't it from the specs? I reckon it has a much higher chance of damage unlike the subC with its coined edge on the bezel providing a little protection buffer zone for the ceramic insert.

WOW what a difference.

The ivory dial is awesome. The watch looks so much better and a little less busy. I really think the ceramic bezel on stainless steel is going to be amazing.

The ivory dial is kinda cool! I'd love to see what it looks like on a bracelet. Very interesting!

Not my cup of tea - but I may like it in person. Also I like the white dial better. I'm sure it will come out in other flavors that I will like.

Really the only thing that keeps me staying with this new Daytona is that Rolex kept the size at 40mm. I dislike this whole move to larger watches these days. I much prefer 40mm.

I like the ceramic bezel. I'll wait for SS model. Will it be available next year or in 2013?

I like the 40mm. I would love to see that black bezel on a stainless version next year with panda sub dials.

If it were possible to source one of the ceramic bezels (perhaps with white numbering) could it be put onto a current 116520 model?
