Rolex 2013 Daytona will be Platinum honoring 50-th Anniversary of the legendary Cosmo

[philipp]

My gut feeling tells me that Rolex will surprise us all at BaselWorld 2013 with a new Daytona, to celebrate the 50-ies Anniversary, of their legendary racing chronograph with a all platinum version, with black ceramic bezel and black dial and big red Daytona. With my artist interpretation I removed the crown guards to make it look even more classic, honoring their 50 years of Daytona heritage and below in a bit more grayish, platinum tone.. I think it will become a instant hit! Then Rolex will also show the steel & gold Daytona version (logically after introducing the all gold last year) and then from next year the all steel version for F1. I just got my Press Pass for Basel Show 2013 so soon I will report about the official Rolex news...

Little more grey..

das wäre ein Traum

Aber leider erstmal ausser Reichweite.

Oder es kommen alle gleichzeitig, so wie bei der 1165xx...

Jedenfalls, das wäre ein sehr sehr geiles Design

[orphie]

na da bin ich mal gespannt...

Would be great, my friend !! Well done!

Rolex HAVE to do anything for the 50s Daytona anniversary, it would be a shame not to celebrate it.
But the black 6240 bezel first came in 1965 -- so, it will be interesting what we will see soon ...

Very nice.
I´m really looking forward to an all new Daytona and hope that Rolex incorporates somewhat of a styling update to the case and Bezel.
I´d also like to see an update to the two available dials for the steel version. I´m ok with the fact that there are only two dials available for the steel chrono which differ only in terms of color ( somewhat like back in the Sigma/BigRed days), but I´d like to see an overall change to the dial because I feel the face of the watch is a bit dated.

Can´t wait for Baselworld to finally open it´s gates.

I hope that Basel will prove your information right. Otherwise, this thread would be severe toture for any Daytona lover!

[philipp]

Let's see and wait..I feel the tension also..maybe they even decide to make the dial and bezel more grey instead of black, that will become 2014 steel Daytona..for F1

Holy cow, those designs look stunning!

[philipp]

Ihr könnt auch Deutsch staunen ;-)..schreiben, meine ersten Berichte gehen nun einmal alle in English raus

[Eddm]

Heilige Kuh, diese Entwürfe sehen erstaunlich aus!

[steboe]

...schön wärs wenns so käme....
Ich glaube ein Verzicht auf die Crownguards ist nicht denkbar. Das Werk natürlich 1 Linie nördlicher und statt Rot glaube ich an Grün ebenso an eingefasste Register....andere Indizes, kürzer und dafür breiter

[ehemaliges mitglied]

Und wo bleibt das Datum?

[Mr. Subby]

Nix Datum, braucht keiner und wūrde den Classic Look zerstören. So wie Philipps Bilder konnte ich mir das gut vorstellen, aber an ein Gehäuse ohne crownguards glaube ich auch nicht. Wäre aber geil

[ROLSL]

Ja, könnte man sich schön trinken!

[ehemaliges mitglied]

ich glaub kaum das die auf dem vintage zug aufspringen werden.

wenn dann was im neuen derzeitigen design.
