Ok, so looking at this again... you can see the 3 o'clock marker on the dial. And you can see the outline of the case. You can see more in the video if you watch it. But if this were a Daytona, where is the crown and the pushers? Or are they taking this video from the 9 o'clock side? Puzzling. Or being tricky.

Great pic. I agree the inner lume looks the same but what about the outer lume? Is that a reflection or another ring with lume? Can't imagine what complication that might be. I don't believe any bezels have lume? Can't wait to find out.

I doubt a stainless ceramic Daytona this year, as they would trickle the ceramic bezel out to the TT Daytona first this year, if the were going that way.
What I would hope is for a 43mm Daytona as that would make the sub-dials more readable. However, if that was the case the material would quite possibly be Platinum or 18K gold.

Just a matter of time until we all know...

The outer lume? It is just an enlarged superimposed version of the centre image.

Daytona I think.

looks like 2 separate watches just rolex being sneaky and not showing much of either watch for obvious reasons.

My guess is a larger Daytona. The small ring and larger ring of lume markers are the same shape and layout. It wouldn't make sense for the Daytona bezel to have lume that looks the same as the hour markers.

I think Rolex is just showing the 2 dial sizes on the same photo. The answer is right in front of us! A larger Daytona would sell like hotcakes. Now will they call it the Daytona II?

IF it is a daytona my guess is that is is indeed the new SS daytona.

Im pretty sure Rolex wouldent do something so lame as to put out a 'teaser' of just another ceramic bezel daytona on precious metal.....been there done that.......they could just release that without 'teasing'

this is something different......a brand new model OR an SS daytona IMO

Oh I agree - I even put up a bingo card on the options open to Rolex that would blow the roof off the Baselworld dump!

If it's a Daytona, it looks like the dial has different proportions.

Either that, or the photo's at a slightly different angle. ;)

On the other hand it could also be something completely new that throws us all off. Exciting times ahead!

Agreed - plus Rolex has posted a load of Daytona-related snaps on Instagram!

Impossible to tell, remember last years teaser with a full moon? It translated to a dual time zone, not a moon phase.
