Not sure if I like it.

No thanks. Not for me, definitely not for that price.

r8t3d_M · 19 October 2016, 09:32 AM

Not my cup of tea but I'm sure some will find it appealing.

THC · 19 October 2016, 09:39 AM

Yuk, blasphemy

TickTopia · 19 October 2016, 09:51 AM

What is it with all of these watch customisers. $42k for a chintzy, Lenny Kravitz edition Daytona. No thank you.

77T · 19 October 2016, 10:02 AM

The fact that they started with the underloved TT Daytona is interesting. But let's break it down a little further.

If you lose the baby-cow bund strap and went with black alligator...maybe? But I do like the Bakelite bezel treatment.

But no to the PVD methinks.

Also interesting treatment of the movement and an exhibition caseback.

If Rolex was to bring a black ceramic case to the Daytona, I'd say the bezel is spot on and I'd take that exhibition back as an improvement.

So Lenny may have channeled a great direction if it was done with al ceramic IMHO.

On the plus side, it's not as gaudy as it could have been. Bear in mind that he's a rock star. One for whom feather boas and other such wear is common place.

Kind Regards,

Ben

CLTRolex · 19 October 2016, 10:23 AM

Booo blah

G.D.BeanCounter · 19 October 2016, 10:24 AM

I think there have been better renditions with the photoshopped pieces here on TRF. Very created, but this one, I'd have to admire from afar. The bezel and dial combination looks nice... maybe if it were all yellow gold case and braclet... maybe.

Rebel · 19 October 2016, 10:42 AM

I'll pass.

Meme-Dweller · 19 October 2016, 11:01 AM

That is the worst type of strap.

Dyim · 19 October 2016, 11:03 AM

Limited to 55 pieces, you know.

Exclusivity drives demand (They're hoping).

ernie2 · 19 October 2016, 12:09 PM

The words Lenny Kravitz on the dial kills the look. If I wear this, my friends will laugh at me

kromdom · 19 October 2016, 12:10 PM

someone will buy this

jdt77 · 19 October 2016, 12:11 PM

Not for me, but different strokes for different folks.

I agree. Truly awful

DeeTee · 19 October 2016, 12:14 PM

I think it's beautiful. But 35k too much....

aekdb · 19 October 2016, 12:30 PM

Chewbacca · 19 October 2016, 12:40 PM

Lenny can pull off that look... fat web forum guy like me - nope.

Halothane · 19 October 2016, 01:47 PM

I actually like the watch and the see-through case back. I couldn't pull off wearing that strap though and the price- I would rather have 4 SS sport rolexes for that amount.

Not keen,,don't like it
If I did have 40k to spend on another watch,,,would rather buy a vintage sub or vintage GMT..would not wear this...
But, we are all different

Quicksilver · 19 October 2016, 02:40 PM

Far too much bling on that ..... horrible. An over the top rap star could probably pull it of but on anyone else it would look ridiculous. Kravitz recently " redesigned" a Leica M camera and the results there were horrible as well.

multimedia · 19 October 2016, 02:53 PM

He's doing Rolex now as well?

Mr Kravitz colab with Leica is often a hot potato within the Leica community. IMHO, I see the same problem with this one. I also say, no thank you.

Cheers,
Joe

BLACKHORSE 6 · 19 October 2016, 02:55 PM

As much as I love the Daytona, it already has a dial that has too many lines of text. To add more is absolutely crazy. The bezel is the only good thing here, the rest is
