You are a man with good taste! My daughter bought me some black onyx a month ago in anticipation of this watch bc she saw it on my screen saver. My really nice all white with French cuffs was at cleaners. Next time.....

Haha, thank you, brother. Look forward to that and in the mean time a pic of my ceramic version with matching MB cuffs.

I am but a lowly dung beetle in the Rolex hierarchy who owns an old fashioned 16520 Zenith and I hope, as such, you will not berate me for entering this highly desirable club.

Quick question - would any of you consider replacing the standard Oyster bracelet with a Jubilee. I think it would really enhance the appearance of what is an already classy looking watch.

I shall now slink off

Yours in awe and jealousy

WOW!!! That's DEAD on!!! That everose Daytona has always been my favorite!!!!

[Changstaz]

Congratulations on being the first on here that we know of. Wear it in good health, and enjoy showing that one off!

I'm on the ever changing waiting list, supposed to be #3 maybe #4. I was given a warning that it's 1 year right off the bat, and no more than 1 year for me though!

[rollerballer]

Why the long delay between the first and then next shipment? Getting impatient.

Does it look better in real life than the official photos?

Didn't know so many people had bought the Daytona C to entitle them to join the club!

[tkerrmd]

Very cool Rick, congrats again, can't wait to join up hopefully soon!!

Looks great with the shirt! Crisp and a breath of fresh air with the new SS ceramic Daytona!

[ppbskis]

Your hurting me! I just called my guy that has everything and can usually get anything.
It appears there are now 2 more people on the list and he promises me we will have ours this October/November.
Our dealer says you have one of 4 in existence in the world, however true that is.
Awesome piece, wear it in good health!

It's a plane in the sky reflecting in the pool. ;)

i think the OP is doctor evil, instead of requesting a ransom of "one million dollars" he requested the first daytona ceramic.

the thing in the pool is a shark with a fricken lazer beam on its head.

ok ok, unfortunately the shark is not real. It is a shark though not a plane. Its a mosaic tile shark about 6 feet long we put in when we built the pool. It has a shadow under it making it look pretty lifelike. I saw it in a magazine and had no have it. Glad yall like it.... Also, In the Movie "Any Given Sunday" there is one in a part of the movie.

That's too bad! I was hoping we had a real Bond villain on the forum

Lord Daith o'Nagh you mean? Known for feeding the sharks in his pool with swiss-bred pandas

[Lalfiste44]

Would it be possible to know if this AD received the new Air King? I would have been curious to know more. :)

[Mercman1]

Stunning watch - cant wait to get mine!

Congrats!
Great looking watch, much better IMO than the steel bezel versions.

Wonder why, though, Rolex didn't take the opportunity to make the lugs the same size/shape, to be more symmetric, as they do on the PM Daytonas.

I disliked the old version of the Daytona because of its silver bezel and loved this new version because of its contrasting black bezel. I hope what I'm seeing isn't accurate, I hope that it's not only deep black at particular angles.

Yeah, the black bezels do that. Look grey at certain angles.
