It's not a dress watch, but ...

I wear it to work anyway.

Technically my 16613 isn't a dress watch either but I wore it at a wedding last month and got compliment after compliment. A gold daytona is in the same boat i think

You could wear that almost anywhere.
In Japan you could definitely wear it everywhere except maybe Kabukicho
Great angle on the photo, no reflection off the crystal at all.

Nice !!

I understand what you mean about it not being a "dress watch" per se, but the size and shape of the Daytona make it more so than the other tool watches in the Rolex line. I wear my SS Daytona with a suit now and then. I'd say they are a no-no for a Tux, but go okay with a business suit.

your collection is outstanding Otto,
very classy look and judging by the thread count on that cuff a very fine shirt as well.
You keep posting these 18K Daytona's and I am going to have to go sell a something from my "other collection" to make room in the safe and reload up the wallet so I can find one !
great thread Otto

The gold sets it off. I would have no problem wearing that watch as a dress watch.
