Nice!
But will the White or Black cover prove to be the more popular? |

I hope they mention that it’s also a solid pilot watch and I know many that used them for timing between navigation aids for radio calls, etc.

This doesn't appear to be Rolex authorized like the Submariner book that was just released.

Do you think it will also feature the production numbers like in the Submariner book or will they keep it a mystery?

No, because the Submariner book got the production numbers from Rolex itself. The Daytona book is published by a different author and publisher not asociated with Rolex.

Apparently the first one of these books has been out for a while, does anyone have a copy or know anything about it? |

I have it, and I like it. There are estimated production numbers for each of the models - how accurate they are, I don’t know, but would imagine a couple of steps above “my AD told me…” on the trustworthy scale.

I have the Moonwatch Only book and I'm hoping that these Daytona books are similar and as detailed as that is. |

Appears it's not an authorized book with production numbers like the Submariner book, which is what I'm waiting for!

I'm waiting for the numbered Daytona set of 100. I Already have the Moonwatch Only from the same publisher which makes the Submariner book look like a child play book.
