My uncle asked my this summer how old my daughter is ,I told him she is 10 ,
he said ,sorry mate but I visiting you since three years and if i ask how old is she you always says ,10. It s imposibble. Well the trick was when he first asked me she was barely 10 but I d rather said a bit more 2nd time she was 10 and last time he asked she was just before her 10th Bday.- must be the same with Rolex , they round the things for easygoing manner .

Is the Zenith Daytona the same as the in house movement.
I know the cases are different. |

"And for the record, I worked in the Avition business and a few thousandths wrong on a caliper can kill an entire plane full of people. I know how to read and use a set of calipers. I own three sets. Also my calipers are all calibrated by a PMEL company. "
The clearances inside a Rolex are much tighter than a few thousandths of an inch! Accuracy in watchmaking is a bit closer than in aircraft generally speaking.... |

The crown guards are an integral part of the case. Are any of the measurements including those?
Besides, why don't people take calipers to their ADs and measure the watches there instead of waiting until they've paid for the things to try and start a firestorm of controversy. If a millimeter and a half is going to make that much difference, then sell it.

Acceptable tolerances in mechanical watchmaking (not electronic microchips) is .002 to .005 microns. I build engines for a living and know all about micrometers and the value of a thou here and there. Watchmaking is on a totally different scale..
.002 microns is 0.000000079 inches.. |

As the SS 116520 has been measured at around 38.6mm, what about the 116509 White Gold and the platinum Daytona, they seem slightly larger as the lugs on the right hand side arent narrowed like the 116520?
Anyone know these measurements please?

Count me in. They need some payback for subjecting the rest of the world to the smell of cheese fondue and their incessant yodeling.

Perhaps Rolex should when they sell there watches give to the customer some digital scales,digital micrometer,and 50X loupes.Then when they get home to check weight,size, alignment points and for minute so called imperfections.

Laborious, inane, or brilliant, the OP is using TRF for one of the purposes it is intended for, the issue is a legitimate discussion, if not just to clear up a perceived misperception or identify an actual problem, previous threads on the issue notwithstanding, and the question is presented fairly. I don't care, but I would think we should respect the right of those who do. "Honestly, if you have a problem with it then don't read it." |

Thank for the info, an enlightenment after so many years of knowing the Daytona. While most of us buy watches based on how it wears on the wrist instead of relying on what Rolex claims about the actual size, I still feel that Rolex should re-classify correctly at perhaps at a round of of 39 mm since its a valid "class" of size.

They don't seem to be shy about their 41mm DJ, or their 42mm Skydweller or Explorer II. No wonder Daytonas have become so popular with the ladies. |
