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.
So, what do you think? Could these be Rolexes styling could get inspiration from? Share your opinion and feeling if you like.

PS: I hope I don't go against any of the forum's rules, there. I find the ideas interesting and my only purpose is to share new views on this watch.

I LOVE the first one....
But it's like winning a lottery expecting Rolex to produce that.....
I agree,
they will never go that far, but I guess, like many concepts, some details could be picked up and become a good addition to the regular models. Thanks for your comment. Mark
Very interesting work...
#3 looks pretty much like an albino Daytona ! (photo: RPR) ...
I like the 1st Daytona
If Rolex were to ever make that, it would be smoking hot... - AT
Re:
The more I look at it and the more I agree, it would be soooo deliciously hot. Even if it would be very daring from Rolex... Cheers, Mark
