Incoming - skeleton daytona
Now this is going to be fun!!! I'd imagine there will be many who will claim I've insulted Rolex and committed a major crime but when I saw this come up at auction, I just couldn't resist. It's not going to be my everyday watch but I'll wear it for a bit of fun out for dinner or when visiting friends who love watches as much as I do. I know I will struggle getting it serviced as RSCs won't touch it but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. The PVD may also wear off over time and look horrible but I'm sure there may be options down the road.
I just love skeletonised watches and to see the 4130 movement doing its work is truly amazing. So you can hate it or love it. I love it :-) |

I like the skeleton look, I’ve seen some on other Daytona’s. Not so much the PVD.

Without the PVD would be interesting to see. Someone put a lot of work into that. Daytona of the Dead. Black PVD is actually totally appropriate!

Looks cool, but definitely no longer looks like a Rolex Daytona, to each his own ;)

This is shocking to see. But ultimately it’s about what makes you happy. I would equate this as taking a Picasso and adding additional modern artistic touches to it.

Its like getting an original gullwing benz and blacking it out. To each's own, I imagine you already have a substantial collection. If you like tattoos I'm interested in the ink you have.
