Wow!
Spotted this beauty in the window of the Rolex boutique on 5th in NYC.
Didn't know this dial was an option in the new precious metal / oyster flex Daytona line up.
Great looking combo!

After looking it's not listed on Rolex USA as a dial option for oysterflex.

On a bracelet it would be unreal beautiful but this is really tempting in current form.

Thanks for sharing.

I much prefer the one you're wearing. Now THAT is awesome

Whilst the one in the OP is ok, that's all it is IMHO, just ok. To my simple mind at least, the red seems to clash with the gold and looks a bit out of place. If that's your bag, knock yourself out, but it's not for me.

+1. The OP's picture to me looks like a watch that was tweaked after purchase with a red second hand. Just looks over the top to me.

I briefly considered a gold PN Daytona with a leather strap when I was in the hunt, but to me, Daytonas should be on a bracelet. Unless it's your second or third Daytona. Like the way one's first Ferrari (no personal experience) is "supposed to" be red, your first Daytona is "supposed to" be on a bracelet.

The Daytona world according to me.
