A study on Daytona graphic styling

Hi everyone,

I was looking on the net for Daytona wallpapers and I fell on this: a graphic designer (Aman Sandhu) conducted some graphic studies based on our beloved Daytona.

I warn you, this is very different from the original but as I see a lot of discussions on future models, including the integration of ceramic bezels, I thought it could be shared as these are not bad at all, imho.

What could be a "sporty" interpretation of the 116520?

There could always be fully DLC / PVD treated versions. There are in fact (Colette etc...), but I personally do not find the outcome great because it is generally only a single surface coating without any new work concerning design / color.

In general, it gives a "heavy " result visually ( I will not address the problem of "resistance" of the coating in question).

1/ On the 2 following (except the skeleton work that will not please everyone) , I find that the work was carried out as a whole project, until the end, and that the result is balanced and homogeneous. I like it really well.

This is particularly a beautiful integration of a ceramic bezel. Personally, I can't get use to the 116515 LN ( Everose ).

2/ This is a more basic transformation, but I like the 2 tone bracelet on the second picture (it is I think a lighting effect more than a difference of coating but let's do as if)

3/ This is a more simple adaptation of the dial. I'm not very knowledgeable on every detail about Rolexes, but it seems to me that the hands are also thinner. I find the result rather successful.
