All are privileged to debate and argue over which one is better, the 11 or 12, akin to which color one should get their Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley, or RR.

Just a few of my favorite screen saver pics I took.










The most dangerous pic I ever took so far of my Daytona on a thin melting piece of ice over a running winter creek. Stupidity, but I was prepared to drop the camera and go right for the Daytona.

Cant see the blue dial featured in this thread, so this too



I know the green seems to get more attention but the blue is just sublime and far more versatile to me.

Love this blue dial.

Considering trading my 116500 white dial + cash for this.
- 1st Rolex and only watch

Worth it as a one watch collection?
Feels special enough.

I'd agree with this. I love it. I'm a fan of the Daytona generally, size, how it sits on the wrist, relatively thin, love the bracelet.

I have the steel, yg green and 2 wg. Out of all of them, if I had to keep one, it would be this one. If I had to pick 1 rolex, I'd also probably pick this. It does feel special. Love the dial, not too loud, wears very well, feels great on wrist.

I think you would know when you try it on. Some dont like the shade of blue. But in certain lights, it sings.

Odd. Are the lugs symmetrical on the latest Daytona models?

The older ones look asymmetrical to me.

Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

They are symetrical on all new 1265 Daytonas. They were symmetrical on 116 full WG, full RG, PT and all Of models, and asymmetrical on SS, YG and TT 116 series.
