Correction: The Original Cosmograph was named after the "Daytona 24 hours" not the "Daytona 500" This launch took everyone by surprise and is one of the best Modern Rolex Daytona’s ever made. I feel this watch symbolises a lot more than what we see on the surface, especially when we look back to the Cosmograph’s origins and how it was originally almost called the “Le Mans” and where now, as the official timekeeper, Rolex can celebrate the Centenary of the event while creating a piece that evokes that bit of nostalgia. What are your thoughts?

My thoughts are that it's my most wanted Rolex ever. A lot of people saying these will be safe queens but I'd wear this everywhere my arm won't get chopped off to get it. I've got a decent shot at getting the first at my AD. They've sold me a SS Panda Daytona and a Sprite in the past 12 months. I got a text wink from the manager at the AD when I expressed my interest over the weekend. I had a green Skydweller, Titanium YM, and a palm dialed DJ on my "wish list" there but told her to backburner those. They're honestly just collection fillers, whereas this new release is one I WANT...BADLY. It fixed everything I didn't like about the white gold Daytona. Now you have bezel protection for the softer case metal, more legible and less fussy subdial design. It's everything. We'll see how allocations shake out. It's a general catalog release, so who knows.

@@2thdocdds I really hope you're one of the first to get one Caarac. I also have this belief in the back of my mind that most Daytona's end up in their boxes in a dark corner somewhere (a real travesty) - this Reverse panda dial sums up exactly how a model like this should've been addressed from day one (I feel the same about TAG Heuer's new Glassbox Carrera). The fact that these are WG and so stealth... cherry on top. It's just terrific 🥃 Good luck to you brother!

This is the best looking Daytona I've seen in a long time. The current models never really clicked with me, but this one with it's mix of modern and vintage looks amazing. Cool to learn a bit of the history behind this commemorative edition too!

I love the way you look at this release in a positive and exciting way where most KZread channels are mocking this anniversary model for being pretty limited and almost impossible to get.

Not for me, and unaffordable anyway... I didn't bother trying on 5. The black and grey GMT just looks pointless and a bit gross 6. Tried the 36mm Explorer two tone. Very small, similar to my Casio w-86 in size, but very comfy and nice. I confirmed that I'll get the 36mm standard on "slow time" when I've saved up, so the AD will keep me on the list and I'll follow up in a few years, or when I'm ready I did wonder if I'm not better off with something else like a nice Omega... the Explorer is very discreet and classic, but i wonder how much of this obsession is marketing... would I want it if it said "Hublot" on the dial and had no history?

Which is why I find this watch slightly perplexing...a watch named for a race/racetrack (daytona) that is a tribute to another race, yet does not say Le Mans anywhere on the watch, but says Daytona twice. I really think they should have replaced the "daytona" with "le mans" for this 1 watch.
