Couple of Question about the Rolex Daytona

Hello TS,

I just have a couple of questions about the Rolex Daytona,

Will the Rolex Daytona get a refresh like what Rolex did with the Submariner GMT2 ie Bigger watch, different face etc ?

Can the face of the all steel rolex daytona be changed to the silver/red or black/red face from the WG Daytona ?

Thank you in advance, highly appreciate it

No refresh planned , always rumors of larger sizes but I dont see it this thing is a classic

You can place ANY Daytona Dial in any Daytona all you need to do is locate a Dial

Thanks guys,

Any recommendations on dials, I'm thinking of getting a SS Daytona and fiddling around with it, custom strap etc.

The loose dial and hands from the 116509 are very hard to come by and very expensive. So much so that by the time you pay for a 116520 and buy the loose parts you are in the mid teens and only about 5K away from an original all white gold model. It is not very cost effective. Another issue is that the bezel on the two models differs in indices.

The rumors of the larger size Daytona have been floating around forever and unfortunately don;t seem true, I for one would jump on another one if it was at least 42MM , 40 is just too small these days!
