Can someone confirm the actual diameter of the SS ceramic Daytona (ideally with calipers)?

I have the non-ceramic SS and I think it’s 38.6mm. I heard the new SS ceramic runs larger. Is it truly 40mm?

Pretty sure the case has not changed, only the ceramic bezel appears more substantial and makes for more presence on the wrist.

Just measured mine with calipers at 38.5 +/- .1mm.

Are you measuring the case or the bezel? The case should be measured from 10 o’clock to 4 o’clock.

Bezel from 12 to 6. Didn't check the case because it looked about the same to me.

The bezel measurement will be smaller than the actual case diameter from 10-4 or 8-2.

For the sake of discussion, I just tried both and got 38.7, but it's difficult with the pushers in the way.

It's definitely not 40mm. I had a debate with one of the guys at my local AD about this. This is a case of Rolex sticking to the classic proportions but marketing it to still appeal to men.

There is a reason it is so popular with women. It's not a big watch.

38.6

It has been known that the SS Daytona is not 40mm... probably why I love it so much.

Please note that the 18k models do wear a bit large as they have bigger lugs. Maybe another .5-1mm bigger!

True but not all PM's , YG cases on bracelet are the same size as SS aprox 38.6mm, WG and all PM on Oyster flex are a bit bigger with different case and wider lugs.

not just the lugs, the case is thicker. The SS ceramic maintains the same case as the steel bezel daytona

not mine... i copied it from another thread

it comes up from time to time, and i find it interesting. Its not immediately obvious unless you own several different daytonas or try them on side by side, and then you can tell. absolutely

judson · 28 August 2019, 08:10 AM

I just pray they don't change it before I get buy one.

blada4life · 28 August 2019, 09:24 AM

Can someone measure a full gold one? It would be interesting to measure platinum, wg and YG

sounds about right. its a smaller case than the WG and the Pt for sure

Onikage · 28 August 2019, 12:44 PM

It's big enough. (that's what she said)
