Daytona 50th Anniversary coming?

[Ian Limm]

Hi Based on some write ups i have read, it appears that the first daytona was released in 1961.
if 1961 is indeed the correct year for the 1st daytona, then 2011 will be the 50th anniversary correct?
are we going to see a daytona with green markers or bezel since green is the corporate colour of Rolex and it was used for the Sub anniversary and for the Day Date they made the dial partially green too

daytona lao jiaos what do you think?

Same thinking here, I am a Day Date hardcore but a 50th anniversary Daytona is a "Must Have" in any respectable collection.

I think it will be tastefully done but it will have green somewhere!

my guess Rolex will use a bit of dark green lines on a black daytona dial, something like the current 18ct white gold model 116509 with dark red lines on black dial.

My guess

The color of the dial should resemble that of the 50th anniversary GMT Master-II (model 116713LN). See pic here:

you are right should be something like the one shown, the words "Daytona" and one of the hands in dark green!

Only question is what is the price tag $$$

[116520]

price tag is not an issue... the problem is what are those AD suckers will be asking....

Yes, question is how much over list price when it is available here.

[Ian Limm]

let me guess, if now normal 116520 model AD already asking $18K which is more than $4K above list price.

for anniversary if I were to guess it will be $6K to $8K above list price.

I mean if current cash above list price is $4K,AD can't be asking only $1K more (i.e $5K) right?

Year 2011 has come and gone.

Now is 2012 and very close to BaselWorld (this month?).

Any other guesses?
