NEWS FLASH - amazing giant Rolex Daytona in Singapore

The Singapore F1race is on this weekend.

Qualifying has just started and Rolex has released a huge Daytona which takes the form of the "Singapore Flyer" which is a giant ferris wheel in the middle of the F1 street track.

The qualifying and race is at night and the Daytona is lit up and not only that it appears to be working and showing the time as a race clock.

I'm watching on a computer and hope to get some screen shots!!

Saw the same shot on the broadcast here but do you think it's being superimposed or displayed on an actual screen or light net? Not sure it would be visible in person. Have seen a few other shots of the wheel with no Daytona.

Whats the point of advertising that model if you can't actually buy it at an AD without being put on a 10 year waiting list.

Looks amazing on television. Only fly in the ointment was Jenson's slight kiss with the wall and Lewis' bad day at the office. I love the Rolex advertising in F1 btw.
