It’s amazing looking. If they made a true panda version of this I think it would surpass even the rainbow Daytona as the most sought after modern Rolex if it isn’t already.

This is truly one FANTASTIC watch.
The only Daytona with a 24 hour counter!!!! The display case back showing a gold rotor. In White gold case!! If you've ever held one in your own hands you would have a different opinion. This is a chub factor 10 watch. Yes please!!!! |

At msrp it’s a no-brainer, going gray…I’d look at it @ $110-120k. Current gray price is too much IMO.
The watch in general is great aesthetically, but not a whole lot of difference from a distance from other similar themed Daytonas. It’s basically a collector edition piece in my opinion. I’d daily a black dial/silver sub-dial Daytona before paying gray price and wearing this piece. Fantastic Daytona no doubt, and it’ll be a collector for sure. |

It's undeniably handsome, but that movement really shouldn't be on display. Nothing wrong with being industrially-finished, it's what Rolex does, but I'd rather it have a solid case back.

I agree with you. I’ve seen it irl and frankly I prefer the platinum piece over it.
Life is short buy the watch- |

Did you turn one down? It's a watch most people can never get, so liking it or not is sort of a moot point.

I love it!
I have no chance of getting one at MSRP. or anywhere near but if I could get one at MSRP I would buy it and wear it.

I don't like it either but I'm not a Daytona fan. The only reference I like is the black dial 116500 but not enough to want one.

From a grey market perspective, I would take a 6263 ANY DAY and save $100k.

Yeah, I think you're one of the few who don't love it... It's THE most beautiful Daytona in the modern history produced by Rolex... I wouldn't say it's THE most beautiful Daytona off all times (that crown goes to the Paul Newman Daytona), but it definitely takes the crown of modern Daytonas.

I love the WG version, because I think the 4 digit art deco Daytonas are just beautiful. When they were first announced, I asked myself if I would trade my platinum one straight up for it. It was a theoretical exercise as no one was offering, and I didn't realize Rolex was going to make them so rare. I didn't think I would, but it was close. Of course when they were trading for $250k or whatever, it is hard to have that NOT impact your thinking.
TBH, I can't believe Rolex made these in such short supply, as Daytonas were mainly difficult to get, but not objectively "rare." Seemed out of character for Rolex, but whatever. FWIW, threads like this always make me laugh. Of course there will be people that don't appreciate or absolutely hate Daytonas, and these threads bring them all out. Yup, that's the way of the world. There are few things that everyone loves.

I wouldn't turn one down. but if I had one and someone wanted it for 200k+, I wouldn't hesitate I guess is what I'm saying.

daytonas are ok, but prefer the basic speedmaster to most if not all of them

I love it, but not $250k worth of love.

Had to look it up because no one covered.
The red 100 is a nod at the 100 years of the Le Mans races |
