I've learned not to have expectations when opening any of JJ's posts.

Nice pic JJ, where did you get it from? Looks like a solid clasp on the Daytona....

Thanks, Al...Yes, it is the all solid clasp with all solid centre links....one of the best clasps Rolex has ever produced.

I had saved it from the other forum when someone had posted it. I knew it would come in handy some day!!

Why's she still wearing those green bloomers

That string looks like it would be uncomfortable on the wrist JJ.

Crazy question. What's so special about the Daytona clasp? They look really good and people are always saying how wonderful they are. So what is the main difference?

It's not so much that the clasp is specific to the Daytona. It's a flip lock clasp which makes it more secure than the standard Jubilee clasp. The GMT has the same flip lock.

Milled from a solid block of metal instead of folded sheet metal perhaps? I'm not really shure. This is so on a SD.

dman · 13 November 2005, 07:09 AM

Here is the one on my YM (bought it from an AD in Europe) and the one from my old SD side by side.

Woa, that was fast. Thanks guys. Perosonally it looks like the Daytona clasp is sturdier and more comforatble looking.

I would say it "feels" more sturdy. I know the original clasp has not had problems that I know of. As far as comfort, the Daytona clasp is, but only by a very small fraction.

baseballduck · 13 November 2005, 01:15 PM

Thanks for that reply Daren. I personally think my dad should get a TT Daytona. Actually I've lined up the whole family with Rolex recemendations. Mom: TT Datejust, Dad: TT Daytona or SS Plat YM, Me: 16610(duh).

Hell if you can do that, you may be able to get a decent discount on the 16610. keep pushing.

That sounds like pure genius. It's also crazy enough to be deadly and to work.
