Found this thread on some car site. It's custom coated SS Black Daytona. What do you guys think? It might look nicer in person, but,,,,(speechless)
And, of course it's selling above Retail Price

marcinthemiddle · 11 March 2010, 06:18 AM

ummmm....no.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of modifying, altering classics...especially the Daytona.

I would have to see it and try it.. but if I ever bough one.. I would make sure I also have the factory default at home.

WatchnRoll · 11 March 2010, 06:35 AM

I think it's very cool looking but I would never wear it unless it was officially released from Rolex that way.

Seems like a fake to me

I saw John Mayer Friday night in OKC and he was wearing one of these black Daytona creations. I'll admit that it does look good, but I just can't see spending the kind of money on one that they command. I don't suppose companies would make them, however, if there wasn't a demand for them.

HL65 · 11 March 2010, 06:41 AM

Cool looking but I also could not see doing that to a Daytona--too much money to experiment with!

phiengin · 11 March 2010, 06:44 AM

I'm not a big fan of modified watches but if I have a few Daytonas lying around, I'd try it:)

rad87gn · 11 March 2010, 06:45 AM

Don't like it.

My concern is the wear factor. Being black I'm sure it would show scratches more. One reason I sold my Porsche, got tired of polishing black!

agungg · 11 March 2010, 07:06 AM

I believe it costs about 600-700 for the custom coat per their website. It's a personal preference but if i had a daytona, I wouldn't do it. Here's a pic of Sub they coated as well.

If it is done like the prohunter series...they are scratch resistant and are hard as diamonds...so they say.

I think they are really cool looking...and different.

Ummm...err... if the warranty card in the OP's attachment goes with the frankenwatch Daytona, the warranty card is now completely worthless.

Just think about paying over sticker price for a new car and driving it off the lot without a warranty... same deal. Of course, most people know there are plenty of new cars priced the same or less than the frankenwatch Daytona so it is definitely a likely comparison.

It's an interesting look..

But I wonder...Why would somebody want their watch to look like a Casio.....

Casey VP-26 · 11 March 2010, 08:19 AM

I'll PaSS

mikefrmnj · 11 March 2010, 08:25 AM

The only other color than white would be gold.

alphamale2012 · 11 March 2010, 08:30 AM

If money wasn't an issue I might but need to see it in person first.

tkc324 · 11 March 2010, 08:53 AM

Interesting look... don't love it though.

chet · 11 March 2010, 09:53 AM

I'd take it. Of course, I am still waiting for my SS daytona which was mailed from Ohio to Chicago last Thursday.

Straight up--I take the original.

nyfida · 11 March 2010, 09:58 AM

Don't like it. No shine.
