Rainbow Rolex Daytona

Anyone have pics of this fantastic watch?

Like most on here, I am anxious to see real pictures of this beautiful watch. I love how the the jewels are aligned and each one fading next to the other color. I don't think I have seen anything like that.

I think it will look stunning on the 'right' person - not so much on the other 98% of the population

I'm not sure that's the right wrist for that watch (I was thinking more along the lines of tanned supermodel or rock star) ...and it appears to be missing two gems from the bezel...?

There are probably a few people that can pull it off, but I am thinking that Elton John has the best shot

It would actually make a good spring time watch when it goes with our brighter color wardrobe.

I wouldn't wear it with my business suits.

With a white suit would be sweet.

If this was the only that Rolex made I am afraid I would NEVER EVER buy one !

But probably it was made for the people mentioned in the previous posts ;-)

In my opinion, it would look much better with anything but a black dial.

I like this watch quite a lot, though I'm much too practical to wear it.

It would be perfect for Roy G. Biv.

I am amazed at how many people actually like this watch. I cannot imagine spending that kind of coin on such a watch.

No? I think it is understated tasteful elegance...for a dictator in a third world country.

Why rainbow? The daytona's have been so classy up untill now. Could you see a CEO walking into a meeting wearing that? I can't, but I could be wrong

What tachymetre?... It has been sacrificed for the stones...

I love the Daytona but not this model - IMO it's horrendous....

It would be a converstation starter - that's for sure. Maybe someone in promoting would enjoy the watch?

The change in stone color corresponds to the numbers.

To anyone who cannot make yourself hate this watch, know that I have a virtually unlimited supply of hate for it, so you can share some of mine.
