Stopped by the local AD today to look at watches. The sales associate was very nice and brought out a Daytona C with a white face to try on. He said there are more than 30 people on the list for the new model. He also said the stainless Daytona that i was wearing and the new Daytona C stainless models have a slightly smaller case near the lugs on the right side than the left side to balance the crown and buttons. He said this only applies to the stainless models. After looking at my watch it does look slightly smaller on the right side. I have never heard this before. Can anyone confirm this?

Quite true and on all the SS sports line up the lugs on the crown side have always been a fraction thinner that the other side for the past 50 odd years.

Also lets not forget that's it's the same Daytona as last year but with a push down ceramic bezel and a slightly different dial :)

This is the first post on the ceramic Daytona I've seen that he didn't say that.

He's slipping.

There are many posts regarding this. I was also surprised to find out that Omega moonwatch has asymmetry lug width on the crown side as well, except the lugs are wider on that side to accommodate the crown guards.

This shows the case differences between pm and SS.

I noticed the same thing on my Speedy Pro awhile back. Hard to unsee once you notice it
