what do you prefer.
the daytona with new style gmt clasp or the old one?

Trimmer2 · 18 February 2009, 04:03 AM

I have the older clasp on my Gold Daytona Zenith and the new clasp on my GMTIIc.

NEW CLASP HANDS DOWN!

stender · 18 February 2009, 04:07 AM

i also have the new gmt11c.
i think this is a much better clasp.
proberly will trade m series daytona for new clasp model!

simbal · 18 February 2009, 04:13 AM

I have the old and tried the new at my AD. I have to say that the new one is nice and I can't deny that it is an improvement. But the old one works just fine as well, no complaints there. Also the old one is a little smaller, to me it fits Daytona better but that may be cause I am used to the old one.

normandy · 18 February 2009, 04:53 AM

Prefer the old clasp.
it's more comfy to me

daytona1 · 18 February 2009, 06:44 AM

Most guys are going to like what they already have. From personal experiance owning both watches I can tell you that the GMT clasp Makes the Daytona feel like a bigger watch. I noticed no differance in feel in the comfort department whan I swapped the clasps. Since then I have changed back because the Daytona clasp on a GMT feels cheezie.....

Wolfgang427 · 18 February 2009, 07:10 AM

I like the original one better, but to each their own.

Z-Sub · 18 February 2009, 07:28 AM

I like the design of the old clasp very much. Have not tried the new clasp on Daytona so can't comment on the comfort.

oldrolex · 18 February 2009, 07:33 AM

I like the new

frostie · 18 February 2009, 07:40 AM

New clasp for me too !

bodybump · 18 February 2009, 07:46 AM

it doesnt bother me at all actually...i have the old clasp of ss daytona..the only clasp that i want for my daytona is the one that the deepsea has...hehehehe

charliec · 18 February 2009, 07:59 AM

Must admit i generally go new so as per.....new !!!

mdtddd2007 · 18 February 2009, 09:48 AM

i think the old one is a classic...if you can save money.

at7724 · 18 February 2009, 11:38 AM

i had the choice when i picked up a V serial--ad had both. compared em side by side and on my wrist. chose the old one. fits better, looks better, proportional to the size of the daytona. no regrets.

MaxilloFacial · 18 February 2009, 02:11 PM

and in contrast to at7724, when I recently purchased my daytona, I had rolex exchange the entire watch so I can have the newer clasp, which i find more comfortable

Andad · 18 February 2009, 02:29 PM

I have both and like both.

I don't like the price increase for the new bracelet on the Daytona.

rayt · 18 February 2009, 10:47 PM

the old clasp can be more collectible in the future. that can be a plus for the old clasp.

Nacelle · 18 February 2009, 11:00 PM

I like the new clasp...

Would seriously doubt it, the old Zenith powered Daytona then yes but the Rolex in-house movement would doubt it.
