The new Daytona case is not substantially different from the previous precious metal case. Also it appears that the SEL protrusion beyond the lugs has been eliminated on all models.

This is just an unflattering angle with sleeve interference. What's more unattractive to me in this pic is the stark contrast in size proportion between the dial elements (markers and subdial rings are smaller) and the larger SS case. The bezel appears narrower too since there is less black.

Kind of like this, haha.

My favourite release is the new GMT TT, I'd be well up for a gen to go with my Pepsi.
Not sure I'm a fan of the new Daytona after studying it, I'm not keen on the PM style case though I like that the SEL's don't protude like they did on the PM models.
The Explorer is a watch I never considered, it's too plain and it still is.
The 1908 is stunning but if I'm having a dressy watch it'd be a DD with a cool dial.
YM Titanium is funky, but I like a bit of heft on my wrist, I fear it'll not feel as good as a lightweight piece?

I bet it feels weird to have a hefty, yet lightweight, yatch. :unsure:

Awesome release. Haven’t been excited by a rolex reveal in years and then this drops… wow

Can’t believe people are commenting on the daytona hour markers so much… the throwback to the zenith days is the best thing on that new version of the daytona tbh

In so many other areas, lightweight is expensive and exclusive, e.g bicycles, sports, outroor sports and activities, sportscars and in high end boats as well.

KJ that is pretty smooth. Although the first thing I would do is remove the bracelet and put it on something else, lol

Yeah I'll probably order a TT oyster bracelet with it from the CLEAN 116713 LN

I might even paint the GMT hand grey, haha. It looks grey in that video - giving me the idea. Always looking for a twist from the norm.

Really wish CLEAN had better bezels though. Getting tired of having to tweak their sloppy grease messes.
