I really like this!
Not really a Daytona fan at all but I LIKE this one. What’s the reference number?
I like it but it does look strange without the Rolex coronet at the top.
It’s like looking at a friend who always wears spectacles and has suddenly taken them off. Regards Kev.
there are too less 'paragraphs' in the dial...
just by seeing the picture i almost considered it as a fake Rolex ;-) btw what are those 2 dots below the sub-seconds register ? Best, mahesh.,
I think it's unique. I like it!

a little too sterile, looks like it was taken out of the oven a bit too early.
Never went to the market.
Maybe it is even a fake? I don’t know (as Rolex never comments). Anyway this has never been produced for consumers.
Ahh... No wonder...
I've seen this kind of dial in many movement in school...except for the 1861 training movement from wostep, the dial was black and very similar with speedy.
P Stahl had a whole collection of these one off daytona dials
I am not sure what to think .... Julian
For me
with the Rolex Logo it would be perfect. So the dial is unconventional clean but feels somewhat empty. Best Thomas
