1) Analyze the current Daytona market.
Although Daytona is good, the speculation price is too high, and it is difficult for civilian cousins to get hot money. I often say, what determines a good Daytona? It depends on your wallet. Big bosses who don't care about money often pursue popularity. Panda and Green Di are undoubtedly good watches. However, civilian cousins can only pursue low prices. I think in the current market, rubber Daytona is the best solution for cousins who don't want to raise prices.
2) Is rubber Daytona a value depression?
3) What is the potential of coffee Di?
Daytona coffee noodle is made of red gold, which is better than steel. Personally, I think red gold is a characteristic of Rolex, and I have applied for a patent for rose gold. Known as eternal rose gold, its durability is higher than that of 18 gold. These metals are melted in a furnace at a high temperature of 1 0,000 degrees Celsius and cast into alloys, and then a unique pink color is cast according to Rolex's unique secret recipe, which is different from other brands.
4) Why is rubber better than Gangdi?
From the visual effect, Gangdi always gives people a practical feeling. In fact, as long as the rubber is well protected, its durability is not worse than that of Gundy, and its comfort is not as good as that of Gundy. Rolex rubber belt is the best in Switzerland, not one of them. The reason is not that the design is simple, but that the material is very comfortable and does not sweat. The internal metal structure ensures the toughness, and it will not break like some rubber belts, nor will it become bigger and looser like steel belts after being worn for a long time.
Since 1963, the Rolex Daytona series has gained a legendary position in the field of luxury watches. Named after Daytona International Circuit in Florida, this watch is designed to meet the needs of professional racers. It is regarded as an iconic fashion accessory, which is largely attributed to actor paul newman, who wore his Daytona watch almost every day from 65438 to 0972 to 2005. He died in 2008.
Due to high demand and limited production, Daytona also has a long waiting list, which helps to increase its mystery. This also makes it very popular among buyers in the gray market, because they can get one of them faster.
Rolex Daytona watches are equipped with self-winding mechanical chronograph movements. This enables them to display time and measure elapsed time, which can be used as a stopwatch or a traditional watch. For this reason, the Rolex Cosmological Daytona Watch has three small dials at 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock. The elapsed seconds are displayed at 6 o'clock, 30 minutes at 3 o'clock and 12 hours at 9 o'clock. They also obtained a COSC-certified astronomical clock to ensure its accuracy.
In addition, (Daytona) is famous for its speedometer scale on the bezel, which can be used to measure speed according to driving time or distance according to speed. However, it is worth noting that not all Daytona models have this speedometer scale since the product range was expanded.
1. Stainless steel Rolex Daytona–stainless steel and ceramic bezel
Theoretically, according to other watch series, Rolex stainless steel watch should be the cheapest choice, which is very suitable for entry-level buyers. However, for Dayton, due to the low output, stainless steel models are the most popular, and the price of steel models is usually around $20,000.
Ceramic baffle is not easy to scratch than steel baffle, but its exclusiveness is different from steel baffle. No matter which border you choose, you can choose a black or white dial. White faces are clear and easy to read, while black is popular because of its visual appeal.
2. Platinum Rolex Daytona
From the appearance, there is not much difference between platinum Rolex Daytona and stainless steel, but it represents a more expensive choice because of the quality of the material itself. Therefore, it is very popular with people who like steel mold aesthetics but prefer precious materials.
In this category, you can choose black ceramic baffle or platinum baffle. In addition, buyers can choose a white gold bracelet or a black Oysterflex rubber strap, and a white dial or a black dial. As far as the overall appearance of the watch is concerned, there are many choices.
For those who pursue a higher degree of luxury, the black diamond dial is very popular, and the most expensive platinum watch is Daytona, sapphire rainbow bezel, inlaid with colorful gems.
3. Gold and Steel (Rolex) Rolex Daytona
The next category of the Rolex Daytona series is the two-color "Rolex" model, which combines stainless steel and 18k gold. This is a good choice for buyers who are looking for a Rolex Daytona that can stand out and attract people's attention immediately, and the price is also cheaper than the all-gold model.
Unlike some other categories, all "Rolex" Daytona have gold bezel, and there is no black ceramic substitute. However, many models can be enhanced by diamond dial markings.
As far as dial color is concerned, the most common choices are white, black, white mother-of-pearl, black mother-of-pearl and champagne. The gold color of champagne dial is very suitable for two-color design, but the black dial provides stronger contrast, while the white dial has excellent readability.
4. Rolex Daytona Gold Watch
Although all gold styles are not as scarce as steel styles, they sell well and are more attractive. This makes them most suitable for people with thick wallets. If you spend more money on watches, they will attract people's attention.
In this category, black, white and champagne dial colors are the most popular choices. You can also choose diamond dial marks to make this watch more luxurious.
Buyers can choose ceramic bezel or gold bezel, or black Oysterflex rubber strap or gold bracelet. The most expensive all-gold timepieces of Rolex Daytona are sapphire rainbow bezel, which adds color to them.
5. All rose gold Rolex Daytona
The charm of all rose gold Daytona is similar to that of all platinum or all gold, although the color of gold is slightly lower than that of gold. Please also note that there is no choice of two shades of gold and steel.
Rose gold bracelet or black Oysterflex rubber strap and rose gold bezel or black ceramic bezel are available. When used in combination with various options of dial color, this ensures that buyers have excellent choices in this category of the final appearance of the watch.
For gold Daytonas, the most popular dial colors are black, chocolate, ivory and pink, because these colors can set off the case material well. Diamond inlay marks a moment to add a little uniqueness. Finally, for those who can spend more money, Daytona with sapphire rainbow bezel can provide more taste and creativity.
6.platinum ice blue ceramic bezel Rolex Daytona
Another attractive choice in this series is the Rolex Daytona watch, and the platinum "ice blue" dial is made of 950 platinum. Silver white, the material itself looks little different from steel or platinum model, but platinum has the characteristics of compactness, massiness and firmness, and has excellent corrosion resistance.
In addition, one of the really outstanding aspects of these models is the ice blue dial, and Daytona watches have no other case materials. The perfect combination with platinum gives the watch a very "cold" aesthetic feeling-almost the opposite of the warm charm of rose gold watches.
All watches in this category have black ceramic bezel. However, buyers can choose ordinary time scales or French cut diamond time scales according to their personal preferences.
7. Diamonds and rainbow circle Rolex Daytona
Finally, the most expensive Rolex Daytona watches are all kinds of diamonds or rainbow sapphire bezel. These are by far the most colorful and dynamic choices in the series, but they are not common because the combination of price and style is completely different from the simpler Daytona design.
For example, the dial and strap of "Leopard" Daytona are designed with leopard leather, and the bezel is decorated with orange sapphire. This provides a very unique aesthetics, but for people like paul newman, it is a classic and masculine style.
At present, the most expensive of all these models is the golden Daytonas with a rainbow border, which costs more than 200,000 US dollars. Therefore, diamonds and rainbow Daytona are most suitable for buyers who are looking for luxury watches, which are really very different from traditional choices.
Concluding remarks
Daytona is a legendary watch in the Rolex catalogue, and its strategic production operation helps to ensure its unique popularity among luxury watch buyers. Since the first appearance of 1963, this series has been expanded to include various case materials, straps, bezel and dial designs. Daytona's latest innovative products are ceramic bezel and black rubber strap, which are more modern and sporty in appearance.
No matter which Daytona you choose, it is a good choice.
Cosmic design Daytona was born in 1963 to meet the timing needs of professional endurance racers. Equipped with a reliable speedometer scale outer ring, the top speed can reach 400 kilometers and miles per hour. This iconic watch is the same as the performance and outstanding performance pursued by the racing industry, and it is the same as its peers.
Ceramic outer ring and speed measurement
Oyster Eternal Universe Daytona Watch was born in 1963, and was specially made for racing. With its reliable and excellent performance, it has made brilliant achievements for the racing industry. Named after "Daytona", this watch has become one of the classic watches and a world-renowned and popular chronograph watch.
The speedometer engraved on the outer ring is a major feature of the watch. It can measure the average speed up to 400 miles or kilometers per hour. The new Cerachrom ceramic outer ring made of high technology has many advantages, not only corrosion resistance and scratch resistance, but also will not fade even if it is irradiated by ultraviolet rays. This outer ring is not only extremely durable, but also clear at a glance. Numbers and scales are coated with a platinum film by PVD (physical vapor deposition) coating technology, which makes the speedometer on the outer ring clearer. Cerachrom outer ring is integrally formed, which helps to fix the mirror on the case and ensure waterproof performance.
Oyster shell, waterproof sign
The oyster case of Cosmos Daytona Watch is guaranteed to be waterproof to a depth of 65,438+000 meters (330 feet), which is a model of firmness, elegance and perfect proportion. The unique shape of the middle case is cast from solid 904L steel. Rolex watchmakers use brand-specific special tools to tighten the triangular pit bottom cover to seal the case, so only Rolex watchmakers can open the movement. The winding crown has the triple waterproof system of Rolex's exclusive three-key lock. Like the timing button, it is firmly fixed on the case and protected by the crown shoulder pad. Crown shoulder pad and middle box are integrally formed. The mirror is made of blue crystal, which is not easy to scratch. Cosmometer Daytona's waterproof oyster case provides the best protection for high-precision movements.
4 130 chronograph movement
Cosmic Daytona watches are equipped with 4 130 self-winding mechanical chronograph movements, all of which are developed and manufactured by Rolex. The structure of the movement has been thoroughly reformed, which reflects Rolex's exquisite watchmaking technology and greatly simplifies the number of timer components, thus making the movement more reliable. The sturdy chronograph movement is equipped with guide post wheel and vertical chronograph clutch wheel device, which can make the timer start instantly and ensure accurate timing. The balance component of the hairspring is the heart of the watch. It is equipped with the blue Parachrom hairspring patented by Rolex, which is made of a unique alloy cast by Rolex. This kind of hairspring is not disturbed by magnetic field, even if the temperature changes, it is still very stable, and its seismic capacity is ten times higher than that of traditional hairspring. The hairspring is also equipped with a Rolex end ring to ensure regularity in any position. 4 130 movement is equipped with automatic winding components, including permanent pendulum, and the power reserve is about 72 hours.
Top Observatory Precision Timer Certification
Daytona, a cosmographic watch, passed the new standard test set by Rolex in 20 15, and was certified as the top observatory precision timepiece. This unique title proves that the watch has successfully passed a series of tests in Rolex laboratory, and its standard has exceeded the routine and level of watchmaking industry. Only after the watch is assembled can it be tested to ensure that it can be worn on the wrist, and it can play a top performance in all aspects such as accuracy, power reserve, waterproof and automatic winding. The Rolex top observatory precision timepiece is only tested after the movement is put into the case, and the average error is within plus or minus two seconds every day, which is twice as accurate as the precision timepiece certified by the general observatory. The green seal is a symbol of the precise timer of the top observatory. Every Rolex watch carries this seal and a five-year global warranty.
Summary of hrui watch: Personally, I prefer Panda Di's white dial, black ceramic ring and 904 case, which is low-key and elegant to wear on my wrist.
The advanced task of collecting Rolex watches is to start with complex functions. At present, there are relatively few complex models of brands, including Daytona, Yacht-Master II and Sky-Dweller. Daytona's timing function is of course the oldest brand. This watch has been very popular in the market for a long time, and with the blessing of celebrity effect (such as paul newman), in addition to the new watch, the second-hand watch market is also very enthusiastic. Some people may be. (Maybe some people are transliterated directly by Daytona. But whether you study English or Chinese, it seems that it has nothing to do with the chronograph itself. So why did Rolex have this idea of naming in the first place?
Daytona Beach, located in Florida, USA, has been known as the world racing center since 1903.
World Racing Center in Florida, USA
In fact, of course, there is a reason. The origin of the name Daytona is closely related to Daytona Beach in Florida, USA. The state is called the speed capital of the world. This is because since 1903, many racing activities have been held here, so many records related to the fastest land speed have been created in Daytona Beach. In addition to its own geographical conditions, Daytona Beach and even American international track companies, NASCAR and GRAND-AM have chosen to set their headquarters here, so some people call Daytona Beach the "World Racing Center".
Driven by Sir William Frans, the founder of NASCAR, Daytona International Circuit was officially opened in 1959, and it is still the main scenic track for holding international events.
1959 Daytona International Circuit officially opened.
After the glorious history of the first half of the 20th century, Daytona Beach is facing the dual challenges of urban development and sand deterioration in 1950. In order to provide a high-quality racing environment for a longer period of time, Sir William Frans, the founder of NASCAR, proposed to create Daytona International Circuit, which was put into practice and officially opened on 1959 to welcome the world. This track is 4 kilometers long and was the fastest leading track in the United States at that time. Some features of the track also include its curve inclination of 365,438+0 degrees and the highest point of 65,438+00 meters. The large inclination angle allows the car to slide off the track without centrifugal force when cornering at high speed. At the same time, its auditorium has also been carefully planned, flaunting that no matter where you sit in the stands, you can clearly enjoy the game.
The Cosmograph chronograph made by Rolex 1963 became the first prize of Daytona Continental Championship. The brand simply renamed the watch "Cosmograph Daytona" and became a household name of this chronograph in the future.
Daytona watches are closely related to racing cars.
In addition to the novel and optimized design, Sir William Frans proposed to build a road track in the infield of a large track before the track was created, which can perfectly combine the classic track with the unique elliptical track with inclination. This idea of eating more fish has a great influence on endurance races, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Rolex Daytona, all of which are influenced by Daytona International Circuit. The first event of the latter was held in 1962, when it was also called Daytona Europe, and Rolex Daytona watch was officially released in 1963, so it is not difficult to see the close relationship between them.
Today's Daytona watches are printed with series names on the dial, which symbolizes its inseparable relationship with the racing world.
The classic chronograph watch named after the track was born.
There is a short story worth mentioning. Sir William Frans himself is a fan of Rolex watches, and even he had a cooperative relationship with the brand. Therefore, he chose Rolex as the convention designation of Daytona International Circuit, and he also established the tradition that the winner of Daytona European Tournament can not only win the trophy, but also get an extra Rolex watch. When Daytona watch first came out, it was actually called Cosmograph to highlight its chronograph function, but as it soon became the first prize of Daytona Europe, Rolex changed the name of the watch to Cosmograph Daytona, which is the origin of the name of Rolex Daytona chronograph watch that you and I are familiar with today. From this, we can know that the name Daytona symbolizes the timing function closely related to racing, and since the name of the world's top track is chosen, it naturally implies that the brand can rank among the top in the industry in terms of its own watch quality.
Rolex Daytona, winner of the 24-hour endurance race, will get a Daytona watch with relevant commemorative words engraved on the back (the picture shows the 20 16 version) as a souvenir for the champion racers.
The classic name is as famous as the international track.
As for when the Daytona Continental Tournament was renamed "Daytona 24 Hours", the time point was 1992, which is nearly 30 years after the launch of Daytona Watch. At present, this event still maintains the tradition that Daytona watches will be awarded by champions, which has also become an invisible incentive to attract many racing masters to participate. After all, you can compete with other masters here, run well and take an extra Rolex watch home. Definitely worth thinking about.
