Held new 116515 Chocalate Daytona! Pics

Local AD called me. It is AWESOME!!! I did not like the Ivory dial one I have seen before so I was not sure I would like this one. They just got it in. The next BIG $$ watch I ge will be this one. Very nice. Now I just need some BIG $$ :)

Jason

I agree. It looks "purdy" as a whole but it would seem hard to tell the time at a glance. That's a lot of coin for "purdy" though.

Let me comment: it is not as clear/easy to read as the ivory dial; BUT it has the same effect of some MOP dials; you have to see it in the flesh; although I do not like the colors/combination I have to agree that it looks amazing as you hold it.

You need to see in person. Actually not bad at all to read. Ivory might be a bit easier, but not easier on the eyes from a looks standpoint. IMHO

ceramic bezel looks great as does the watch overall. a different direction, but good execution by rolex on it.

Still waiting to see one in person, but from here it sure does look purdy as Dan said.

Sure is! Guess I shouldn't talk since I have a SS Daytona...purdy as can be, and a lot of coin too

Beautiful timepiece, great fashion, but impractical readability.

It is gorgeous but I feel like it would be a pain in the ass to read the time. It seems it's very heard to read.
