Thanks for the photos but I just can't deal with that color scheme. It looks like Fisher-Price was involved in its design. The big numerals around the dial, black and violet coloration...it just looks tacky to me. Way too much bling happening for such a classic Rolex watch! From tool to jewel...

Thank you for sharing with us. It does look a bit busy and did someone say$ 27,000. Ouch....did't that have a leather strap, no bracelet?
I can do with a three or 4 hand quite nicely, don't really make much use of a chronograph.

z32turbo · 8 August 2011, 11:56 AM

Can't wait to see it myself.

I tried this watch on in early June while at the London gtg, I thought it was incredible...

Unfortunately I'd probably get something else in that price bracket...

Should increase the desirability of the older models significantly.

fstnlgl · 8 August 2011, 12:39 PM

Great pictures and price. I still like the SS with white dial.

MortgageGuy · 8 August 2011, 01:07 PM

I think the ceramic looks great on the Daytona, thanks for the pics, you have to be one of the first to have been able to try this beauty on

TswaneNguni · 8 August 2011, 01:08 PM

Will go the Daytona route again,when it hits 42-44mm .............eventually.

hoops10 · 8 August 2011, 02:24 PM

Nice, but will never replace the SS Daytona IMHP. I am also a bracelet guy have never been big on leather bands. I have a small wrist and bracelets just seem to fit better.

Newportkrieger · 8 August 2011, 05:28 PM

So ah I can't resist....let me guess; you left your heart in San Francisco...

Beautiful watch...

mtrunner · 9 August 2011, 12:29 AM

It is definitely different and it has really grown on me. However, the price is a whole different story.

buke45 · 9 August 2011, 03:09 AM

Nice!!!

cedargrove · 9 August 2011, 06:00 AM

Sweet.

lhanddds · 9 August 2011, 07:05 AM

Like the bezel but not the dial.

cwilson13 · 9 August 2011, 12:00 PM

Wow. I think I would have had one of the clerks distract my wife long enough for them to run my credit card! Really nice looking.

ncj · 9 August 2011, 12:37 PM

Very nice...

clnance · 9 August 2011, 01:47 PM

The chocolate dial looks much better in person. It blend VERY well with the rose gold. I do agree it is a very "flashy" watch. I think the black ceramic on the white dialed stainless will look very sharp and give it that Paul Newman look. Hopefully those will be coming out in a couple of years. I would guess TT next year and stainless the year after

TopNotchChach · 9 August 2011, 02:48 PM

Lookin good. i like the strap combo.

masterdinh · 10 August 2011, 09:10 AM

Wow!

A.J.R. · 10 August 2011, 09:15 AM

27k? That is a lot of 7-11s I have to rob.

Lanfor · 10 August 2011, 09:47 AM

That's so nice but I like the ivory dial too and it probably more practical. Nice post you're very lucky

cdrii · 26 August 2011, 09:50 AM

Strolled into Rolex store at South Coast....Still no new Daytona....This one looks Fantastic.

But unbelievably, they had a SS Daytona in stock....$11,250, Lucky it had a white dial or I might have walked out with dat bad boy...

zeuloa · 26 August 2011, 10:26 AM

It's gorgeous! If only they added a date.....

onryo · 26 August 2011, 10:35 AM

Not a big fan of gold, but I gotta say that thing looks pretty cool. I don't think I could pull it off though...

RanHong · 26 August 2011, 10:54 AM

It reminds me of a hublot for some reason.

chazha · 26 August 2011, 10:58 AM

Looks great but I still prefer 116528 with black arabic numeral..

eric23 · 27 August 2011, 12:53 AM

Nice watch!! Looks good on you!
