None of the others ever got marketed – they were bought before I could get to them. This watch is probably the nicest looking Rolex watch in production. At watch shows, in a showcase with 100 other Daytonas, this is the watch that catches your eye if you only cast a casual glance. It’s that nice. The dial is a masterpiece. Literally cut from a slab of sodalite, each dial is different. Rolex applies diamond hour markers and traces the chronograph subdials with a thin white gold band. The ‘15’ ‘30’ and ‘45’ are also applied as is the Rolex coronet. The word Daytona is printed in red. This is a great looking dial! Case is solid 18k white gold (as is the Rolex deployant clasp) with dimensions of 39.5mm diameter by 12.5mm thick. Crystal is sapphire. Crown and chronograph pushers screw down. Watch is water resistant to 100 meters. Movement is the automatic winding Rolex Caliber 4130 with 44 jewels and is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer. Strap is blue Rolex crocodile and will fit up to a 7.5 inch wrist. Production of this watch is ‘K’ series from 2001/2002. Condition of the watch is mint+ and will be delivered with Rolex box.
