Saw this in the morning when leaving for work.....I actually said "Wow!!!" to my phone.

SeaDweller1220 · 16 March 2016, 11:20 PM

Just texted my AD to be put #1 on their list. He said won't know MSRP for a while and he does not expect to get one until October?

AK797 · 16 March 2016, 11:24 PM

They even put the PM bezel numbers on the SS. Almost feels like pandering, sort of disappointed really, thought Rolex were tougher.

Rolexing24_7 · 16 March 2016, 11:25 PM

i really loved both models, black and white, but i don't see my self getting one of this any time soon, i still love my 116520

The black bezel against an SS or RG case will define it more than against SS and will/does make it wear slightly bigger, white dial even more so... maybe up to a 39mm feel.

Exactly!

Nothing terribly revolutionary here.

Rolex already released ceramic bezels on gold / Strapped Daytonas. The only difference is they skipped the usual updates to all PM models one year...the two-toned (thank god!)! and finally steel.

That's all. But, to be fair...this is a larger than normal step / departure from Rolex predictable process...so whoop whoop! 😆

Looks good. When it comes in, I will get one but it isn't keeping me up at night.

Nsx_23 · 16 March 2016, 11:38 PM

So if i put my name down now i should get one in 5 years?

Hpozzuoli · 16 March 2016, 11:41 PM

I might be searching for a black bezel to go with my black face. It's about time they went ceramic on the Daytona.

regnant · 16 March 2016, 11:44 PM

Finally, the wait is over
Great job by Rolex

kaiserphoenix · 16 March 2016, 11:46 PM

Are the old ones being discontinued?

jbenjamin1 · 16 March 2016, 11:47 PM

Yes!! Twas a good choice to hold off :D

RolexAuthority · 16 March 2016, 11:47 PM

ordered white dial 1st at AD can't wait what a stunner

DCheeta · 16 March 2016, 11:49 PM

It kind of looks like the case follows the shape of the PM models, i.e. evenly sized lugs on both right and left side of the case.

Does it look like that to you guys too?

Wesley Crusher · 16 March 2016, 11:49 PM

Wow. The new Daytona is going to fly off the shelves.

sco · 16 March 2016, 11:51 PM

I love it. I'm a huge fan of Ceramic.

Is there any concern of durability around the edges of the bezel since the whole piece is ceramic? Thinking specifically how it will hold up without having a metal ring to protect it.

I know that it exists in PM, but there are going to be a TON of SS out there banging into all kinds of things. I'd like to think it was tested rigorously but still...

sensui · 16 March 2016, 11:56 PM

Rumors...theories.......best when it all comes into fruition properly. Rolex will have my $$ with this one.

I'm not sure if case has stayed the same but they haven't beefed it up to the PM levels look around the pushers here's a comparison

And here

No it doesn't have evenly sized lugs like the RG WG and PT
Strange that they put the new bezel on the YG now aswell but the same case as before like the SS and TT

Cheers

I couldn't agree with you more! I got my 16520 in December

KeithP · 17 March 2016, 12:08 AM

Just a massive improvement over the previous one on dials alone. Finally non-shiny, legible sub-dials. Beauty. Looks like a sport watch again.

rolex aficionado · 17 March 2016, 12:40 AM

Not my cup of tea! Sorry!
The 116520 is the one for me! I wonder how much they will go in price after they're discontinued !!!

RolexAuthority · 17 March 2016, 12:43 AM

116520 will only fall in value now no way will anyone pay premium on a 116520 with the 116500LN out

Wow! They fixed what I didn't like about the 116520, namely the bezel and subdials. I can live without a date, this watch is the business!

Just sent an email to my AD to put me on the list for a white dial.

I do not think this will be true. There will always be a customer for the classic 116520. Perhaps there will be a slight dip which will create a great value for a great watch, but I do not think we will see drastic drops.

Not everybody needs the latest and greatest, and the 116520 is not THAT different. At the end of the day I feel like a classy watch went a bit sportier, which is why I can imagine they did not add ceramic to the WG or YG models.

You must not really be the authority on the topic of price -- why don't we just compare the 16610 to the 116610? People scramble over the aluminum-bezeled models still. The new Daytona is a stunner, for sure, but that doesn't mean the older models are going to tank in price. There will always be a preference for the classic models, and the 116520 is the last in a long line of steel-bezeled Daytonas.

Black is of course cool, but nothing compares to the contrast of the white dial, black sub dials and black bezel. Just stunning and so classic!

arguetaoscar · 17 March 2016, 12:58 AM

Fantastic!!!!!! The older model is a bit dressier, new C model more sporty. But looks amazing....
