Did any of you see the post of John Mayer's Instagram account today? not sure if it's actually his or not, but thought I would share. since DavidSW has a pic of something similar to this as his profile pic, he could get a chuckle out of this too.

I obviously think it ain't real but who knows if you're JM.

bobp315 · 5 December 2013, 10:36 AM

I saw this today and almost posted it on here as well. As to whether or not it's real... I have no idea. Maybe if you're John Mayer and you have run out of watches to buy, then screw it, make a Mickey Daytona! Still not as bad as the Leopard.

If this is real, it's disappointing.

ecsub44 · 5 December 2013, 11:00 AM

It's funny...whether it's real or not.

LA_LEC · 5 December 2013, 11:06 AM

Leave it to an attention seeking celebrity to "f" with a classic.

SLS · 5 December 2013, 11:16 AM

Vintage inspired?

Is Mickey the vintage part?

No. But I did see this on Katy Perry's Instagram. John Mayer is one lucky son of a $&/!€

It ain't luck.

GradyPhilpott · 5 December 2013, 11:38 AM

There's no indication that this is a Rolex run, so if Mayer wants to pay to have a Mickey Mouse Daytona, why should I care?

The message is a bit vague as to whether or not it's simply a design or if it's an actual watch, but it's still not my concern.

So is this the second John Mayer dial?

fliphandywork · 5 December 2013, 01:36 PM

I'd wear it. My two year old would love it!

this guy is very cool, and a watch guy. if i had money to burn, i would absolutely do something like that.

i personally love it.

if you can't see that this is cool:, well.........thats

superdog · 5 December 2013, 01:41 PM

wow. and look at the arm and leg through the sub dials.

this was supremely well done.

subtona · 5 December 2013, 01:54 PM

Why not, hes got money to burn & great respect for haute horology.
Between the hard work hes cranking out and the amazing bevy of beauties that keep him occupied, he has a fun side.... He graffitied a daytona in a unique way..thats cool:)

I'll agree with that & it's kind of funny too.

I love that thing.

Looks mega cool and unique. I think the way Mickey is incorporated into the dial is pretty fancy stuff. I would want it in stainless and not PVD/DLC though.

People get so worked up about personalizing a watch. Yet something like that Submariner Heritage Big Crown is so cool....that Sub was butchered compared to this.
JM is my favorite watch guy, because he has as much passion as a regular guy, appreciates a vintage piece, a high class Patek in jeans(while picking up dog poop) and yet open minded enough to see the creativity and just plain coolness of a DLC Daytona with Mickey splashed on the dial.

If Disney made this watch authorized by Rolex, they'd sell millions, guaranteed(ss for me).

skprd13 · 5 December 2013, 03:34 PM

He can buy anything he wants basically in the world. So why not, perhaps it is for a friends kid! He has money to burn and if I was the kid I would be stoked!

I believe Mickey is the vintage part. I remember previously reading a long time ago about Rolex making a mickey mouse dial watch. Here is a link to an article on the relationship between Disney and Rolex

jmusser3r · 5 December 2013, 03:49 PM

And for those wondering if this is real or not, I just read an article that says this watch was just a prototype design. Personally I think it would be a really awesome watch if he could get it done and be a very unique piece in his already incredible collection

That dial is incredibly well done. Nice to have the money to commission such a watch by a watch artisan. Very cool that he went to a vintage Mickey design, and made it work with the Daytona dial and subdials.

Maxtor · 5 December 2013, 05:15 PM

Yikes. How did Russell Brand drop the ball on that one?

polarinda · 5 December 2013, 05:24 PM

better than Speedy's Snoopy.

I dunno, given the prices these things seem to command I'm more inclined to go for a perpetual calendar/vintage something. Even if I had every conceivable watch out there, I still can't see me putting that on.
