The new Daytona is improved visually in all aspects, I'd say. Even the new metal edged bezel makes it look more sophisticated.
I get though why people think it sucks and that it will ding up way easier than the old version. However, while the edges might be softer, it will also be less brittle and thus should have less chances of shattering. I assume - and this is pure speculation - that Rolex noticed quite a few of those broken bezels and decided to make it more durable that way. Also since it's such a small area around the bezel, I believe scratches and dings will remain visually quite hidden when looking at the watch. Might even be quite cheap and easy to replace the metal carrier during a service.
