Written by Andrew Morgan for aBlogtoWatch The Story If there’s ever been a story of zero to hero, it’s that of the Rolex Daytona. Unloved and unwanted, selling barely 500 units annually in its formative years, the Rolex Daytona has grown to become one of the most coveted watches of all time, commanding year-long waiting […]
One of the most common questions at Baselworld 2013 was “what is up with the blue and brown color scheme of the new Rolex Daytona?” It was a fair question. Rather than present a totally new Daytona as many people were expecting (something that Rolex themselves found amusing) for the iconic model’s 50th anniversary, Rolex […]
2016 was a big year for fans of the Rolex Daytona 0.750 18k Replica Daytona because the company finally released a Daytona with a ceramic bezel in steel. For 2017, Rolex is updating its Daytona line, this time with its gold models. This year, the yellow and white gold Daytona watches will all be getting […]
Les Artisans De Geneve is a company that was created in early 2016 with a mission of “recreating” existing and vintage watches. Initially distinguishing themselves from the customizers like Bamford, they chose to create pieces like their tribute to the F Serial Rolex Daytona Replica Daytona 6263 watch which strayed from being too radical in […]

Yesterday, on January 29, 2017, the 55th edition of the Rolex 24 (aka 24 hours of Daytona) race took place, sponsored by, of course, Rolex. Part of what that means is that the winner get’s a special Rolex watch, so we were naturally interested to have a look at the watch itself. After 659 laps […]
In addition to the new Rolex Explorer 2 watch model for 2011, Rolex offers a new range of Daytona watches for men this year at the Baselworld show. 2011 is apparently the 50th anniversary of the Daytona, so we get two types of new models. Rolex is further rumored to released an overhauled Daytona for […]
The Rolex Daytona 116520 has been with us for over 16 years, from its debut in 2000 until its replacement, the part-ceramic 116500 (hands-on here) debuted in 2016. The steel Daytona has not only been a rare bird that Rolex has often made extremely difficult to obtain, but also an icon among luxury chronographs. I had […]
This is not a technical article or about any new watch release. Instead, this is about a look – a good look, but a look that you don’t need to be a watch lover to understand or appreciate. It isn’t just a look, it is part of watch fashion psychology, and something that draws people […]
