Surprisingly, me too. Surprisingly because I didn't like it at all, when it was launched, and on the first official pictures.
Some photos of the Rolex Daytona Platinum.
An uncommon combination of colors for a cool Daytona. Enjoy. Nicolas ...
What is your opinion of the brown color choice? And do you prefer this dial or the all blue with baguette diamond markers?
Overall, I think the color combo works very nicely. Thanks for these lovely pics 👌🏼
Ok, please dont laughs, i have chronique back problems, especially when having to lift or carry weights...so I always wondered about a full platinum watch in that sense...
I guess i would have to feel it in the flesh. I thought it weight close to 500gr, maybe i am wrong! This is an issue for me for example for photography as even if I have a "small" Sony camera (I have the A1), as soone as I put a heavy prime of it (like a ...
I admit I made a U turn on this one
Initially, I found the colour scheme comically ugly, but after having seen a couple in the wild I consider it works. And having a platinum Rolex on the wrist tends to affect one's perspective anyways. I hence vote in favour!
I prefer the Daytona with baguettes
but even more the DD40 in platinum as you know ...

Tbh i love it from day one .
A friend bought one back then and i was impressed by the look and feel of it in person
Loved it on first sight my friend.
And being a complicated watch fan and Daytona fan it was a must have. Then add in the fact that this was the 50th Anniversary model and the want no need grew even more within me. I was then very lucky with a local AD who had it for 12 months and could not...
Absolutely my friend. It would be my pleasure and privilege to meet such a dedicated,knowledgable watch nut.
And thoroughly all round good guy. 🤗 M.
Color Combo
I too could not get past the brown, black and I would have owned one awhile back. I passed on this watch at $50K about 5 years ago, woops! The WG with dark blue is spectacular.
Uncommon is right......!
I wonder why Rolex thinks a lighter brown bezel and subdials is better than the more common dark brown....? I think Rolex are becoming 'playful' in their middle-age?
