Discontinued Daytona
Yeah Rolexrolexrolex…I know we don’t care but it’s kind of funny:
So Rolex pleased some super wealthy collectors recently with the Le Mans Daytona, a watch that has elements of the coveted Paul Newman Daytonas.
…And they just discontinued it, basically ensuring that these will be as rare as said vintage Daytonas, making a few of those super wealthy collectors very happy.
Well played Rolexrolexrolex

Had to time vitals…then bought another watch…then another…I like dress and vintage but usually end up choosing something that can stand up to kids, food service, firefighter EMT stuff and saltwater.

Yes it is BS. Same for that Palm dial 36mm datejust, I always fancied one of those.
It was only ever meant as an anniversary watch. One and done.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I guess I’m just confused by the fact that some “anniversary watches” (old gold sub, Kermit etc) have made their way into regular production
Standard reaction to what they do anymore - 🤨🙄

Understandable. There is the 50th anniversary of the Sub, so “here is a new watch (no special markings or dates)” and there is the 100th anniversary of Le Mans, “here’s a watch to commemorate it, including Easter eggs tying it to the event.” Once it is no longer the anniversary it seems hard to sell a watch with the 100 on it when they are now on year 101.
I mean don’t most luxury brands do that? Cartier releases new watches annually with only 150 pieces (ex. 2023: Santos-Dumont Skeleton Micro-Rotor). Rolex did the same but doesn’t say how many they are making.
It'll be back: marketing, right? 😉

Looks like back in yellow gold 😆 yep more big gold sports watches from Rolex (yeah It was originally white gold, just seams like a lot of yellow and rose (or whatever the proprietary name is) form them this year)

Another good point for sure. I think they are selling it in yellow gold now.

The beauty of the white gold was the stealth aspect to it. Hard to hide a brick of yellow gold on the wrist!
