I find it wonderfully ironic to read all of these ideas and guesses while being criticized in other threads for posting things I "don't know".
Fantastic flair.

Its definitely going to be carbon isnt it. Tungsten makes no sense, yeah its heavy but its one of the hardest materials to machine, hence cutting bits on machines are made from tungsten carbide. If its solid gold and they lumed the bezel, thats just crazy. Judging by noobs recent carbon daytona, smart money is on a diw or similar noob carbon sub. I dont think the ques will be too long....

I think it will be carbon as well. I don't like it as a watch material - it feels flimsy and cheap.

The difference is that in this thread people speculate because no one knows yet.

You get criticized for posting random nonsense long after the facts have already been established.

Self-reflection would only be possible without narcissistic personality disorder. Please do not take it personally, but you and other members cannot expect to know EVERYTHING correctly. If you apologize and say sorry, I was wrong with my statement, it has to be good.
POINT.

And BTT:

Carbon or sterling silver would be awesome.

It will be carbon. Whats the point in making a watch from sterling silver? Its softer and tarnishes much easier than stainless steel, yet looks almost identical to some alloys of steel. The factory is guess work, im just saying noob because they made the carbon daytona recently.

Are you done then or do you really need that timeout?

Meh. it's a fantasy watch anyway. Most likely in lightweight, toy-like carbon. It will be out when it's out.

Would love to get a carbon sub / daytona with a sterile dial, would be a great sporty watch to use everyday without the "weight" of it being a replica. I wonder if you could somehow custom order a sterile dial, and by that i mean without the "ROLEX" writings and logos on it
