Did they give a Dummy for viewing? It has exactly the same hand setup as most dummy Daytonas.

Now there's the Panda!

Relieved the ceramic bezel looks deep black in real-world lighting conditions.

Thanks for the angle shots.

The insight of the day is that one must first purchase a shark from the AD to have a shot at being #1 on the list =)

Huge congrats OP!

Two guys walk into a Rolex AD...

So, two guys walk into a Rolex AD to buy a Daytona C 116500...

Guy #1 says to sales assistant...
"Dear Sir, I have been a Rolex aficionado since I was 8 years of age when my grandfather gifted me my first 1680 Submariner. I have studied horology and written a Biography on Hans Wilsdorf. My current collection covers every significant model in the Rolex catalogue over the last 50 years.

Guy #2 says...
"I have a shark in my pool..."

Hey, I have a turtle in the bottom of my pool, does it count for me to get me a 500C?

Oh, wait... I lost the house and pool to the ex-wife... never mind

That would be the one to have. Drooling over here...

Perhaps that is why they only changed the rings on the SS model.

Would have to have both. :D

I don't think it is really coming, will probably have just 2 SS models as before.

Great pic, Rick, with an absolutely perfect angle and perspective. Your new Daytona C is a phenomenal looking watch. I hope it brings you much watch-wearing enjoyment and satisfaction.

I can't wait to join the club. When my Sales Associate (along with the store manager of my Rolex AD) were in attendance at this year's Baselworld show, I asked him to reserve a white-dial model for me. He replied that I'm at the top of the list, so I can't wait to get the call.

Again, that is a beautiful Daytona, Rick. I love the fact that the whole motorsports vibe of the watch has been enhanced with the ceramic bezel. I hope you enjoy it to the fullest!

Regards, -Rick.

Need to track down whoever got the black one and get some real life photos of my target...

Congrats again Rick!

I thought this same thing on page 3. Def going to have to start over once they start rolling in. Invstr still gets the pole position.

Would love to be the first on here with the black dial - my AD says sooner rather than later but that could mean anything
