Perfect mistake!
Who would have ever thought that a blue dial watch with a brown bezel would be a good idea? It's amazing!!

Talk about misfortune.

What a burden it must be to be lumbered with such a faux pas from Rolex HQ.

I really hope Rolex is going to equip their other Daytona models with ceramic bezels as well, the contrast between the case/dial and bezel is magnificent.

I don't understand the haters....the dial/bezel are amazing. I'm not a platinum guy because I'm too tough on watches. But I know a thing of beauty when I see it!

Truly stunning Ken! Has to be the best color combo they've come up with since the original bluesy 35ish year ago... JMHO
