What Rolex are you wearing today? Part III

[KJ2020]

Have you ever played with Daytonas ?

I’ve always dreamed about a White Gold (or Stainless Steel) full metal bracelet Daytona with the Green (“John Mayer”) Dial.

Of course you would have to change the hour marker surrounds from Yellow Gold to White Gold (Silver color), and anything else on that dial that was yellow … so it may not be that practical.

Yes Daytonas are another fave of mine. I thought about that exact combo and mocked it up a few years ago.

It would be easy peasy to do but for one thing - the gold subdial rings. The subdials are inlaid into round cutouts in the dial and would likely have to be removed, polished and then replaced to get silver rings.

I think this could be done with a rep dial - the subdials are likely just glued into the cutouts. Holes could be drilled into the backside of the dial and the glue loosened with an acetone dampened brush. Once out, the subdial rings could be carefully polished to lose the gold tone. I often polish hands and markers, etc. The gold coatings wear away quickly.

Wow … what a watch that would be.

I can’t wait for your post, after you build it !!!
