Whilst deliberating about the Everose YM I'm now turning my attention towards the ceramic Chocolate dial Everose Daytona instead, a few thousand more but having tried one on yesterday wears a little better IMHO compared to the YM which felt a little small. Anyone out there tried one of these?

Just seen a couple of these used, at Michael Matthews in Bournemouth
never thought I'd like these but I do!
now, what shall I sell....
I didn't think I would like it either until I tried it on, the contrast on the sub dials is poor and the Arabic numbers aren't luminous but it does look stunning. I've just checked the Michael Matthews website and they are selling it for 15k.... less that one some Grey market dealers are charging for the steel ceramic Daytona which when you consider it retails at over twice the price is quite interesting.Originally Posted by GOAT

Alanski has one, I am very jealous.
Might have to have a walk down for a nosey.

Have to agree it looks stunning and has some weight to it, but I thought it wore tiny on my wrist, even against the YM.
Shop around you can get pre loved at a big reduction from rrp
Ive had one on for a month or two and its a very nice watch, you might find the dial a little difficult to read but to be honest I don't wear a watch to see the time!

Never owned one, but a friend of mine has one which I've tried and it's a glorious thing. The rose gold with the chocolate dial is almost a perfect combination.

From the title this sounded quite unpromising in the looks department. Appears fabulous in the images below though.
Also you are not going to see many about and it's not 'too much'. Prob looks great with casual or smart attire.
I wear mine on a black rubber b which I think gives it a slightly more modern look...
Yeah great watch . Real eye catching pretty unique piece
Wears really nice and weight is nice too.
Isn't as too in ya face as a full bracelet version
The chocolate dial with the ceramic numbers is the one to buy
On my shopping list. Beautiful watch.
Do you have any pics?
Sure, but absolutely no idea how to post it from my phone- sorry...do I need a photo bucket account or something?
that's how they come now anyway. wrong colours but you get the new Oysterflex Bracelet as seen here.
While I love the choc dial, I thing the new white gold one is the best looking now, sophisticated looks ;-)
looks great on, def my new fav watch and makes the new SS one at £16k look a bit naff dare I even say a bit Chav !
this is love at 1st sight

Yet to see one in person but flipping my SS ceramic white for the WG on Oysterflex from the pictures I've seen is on the cardsthat's how they come now anyway. wrong colours but you get the new Oysterflex Bracelet as seen here.

In general I prefer leather straps. But a gold Daytona seems naturally at home with the matching gold bracelet. It is more expensive, inevitably, but also more resilient and, crucially, has that lovely weight that marks the Rolex gold models.
I did try the strap version, my partner quite liked it...with the ivory dial. Which is a lovely dial, at least to my taste.
In the wider range, the gold/leather strap combo I like most is the 36mm Day-Date. Very elegant watch. Or the modern Cellini, which, for me, is the best-looking watch Rolex make. Doesn't sell well, but that's no sin.

No, not a fan of such a lump of metal on the wrist, although I can appreciate why others might feel differently. For me, at least, the oysterflex tones down the gold and makes the watch an everyday proposition.
Second that is why I like the rubber / leather strap it not as In your face. I will hopefully buy a oyster flex for mine at some point if possible

I see the point and, sort-of , agree. Which is why I am a fan of white gold in such situations, a WG Daytona with matching bracelet just flies under the radar. Only you know it is a gold watch.A private pleasure.
With yellow/rose gold, I do prefer a strap. Not yet convinced by the new rubber strap...which my partner described as 'that plastic thing.' I think a fine leather strap takes some beating. (Sorry!).

That is a fabulous looking watch
Absolutely Stunning
Commercially, one of the better gold models. You'll need to buy a strap every few years. Like all gold models you are likely to lose a few thousand, but there are worse depreciators and as always it's a case of buying well in the first instance.
Unworn will be circa £17,900 which pushes even a mint pre-owned one (and there aren't too many around) realistically down to something like £15k at most.

I'm shocked. I don't like the Daytona nor gold sports watches, but along with the Everose YM, I really like this. Must be getting old!

I really like this! But how can there be all those used models for sale - this is the new ceramic model, no?
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
Love the dials on these, seen one a while ago and fell in love with it.
Might take a bit more saving until I can get one yet but the price seems fair.
What a great watch. Lovely weight. Beautiful dial. I did not quite get to the deal I wanted, so the watch went back in the safe so that we can re-engage with the decision-maker next week, when I am back in the UK. Do not tell them though. I absolutely love the watch.❤️
When you consider some people with the premium are paying up to 15k for a steel Daytona Ceramic the Everose looks to be good value at 18k, I'm hoping to add one to the collection at some point.

Is this on the new oysterflex rubber or original alligator? Believe the latter is discontinued
Probably why the dealer wants to get rid of the remaining alligator stock.
The new clasp fits the Oysterflex but not the alligator. So better to buy the new version with oysterflex, and then just modify a hirsch strap or use a regular pin buckle if you want alligator strap on it...
Leather. In my opinion, this is not a rubber watch!
I think I agree, but not seen it on rubber yet (and should bear in mind comment below on the clasp). Liked it when I tried it on, but also remember looking at it on iconic early last year at around £13.5k - need a time machine!!
I can only see rubber on the Rolex website so think it is discontinued, so should put you in a good negotiating position.
Tried one on last week. Sometimes I can find rose gold too showy but with the alligator strap it was actually quite understated. Crazy to think you could nearly flip a steel Daytona for one of these.
Imgur is probs the simplest

I saw one of these in Hong Kong last year for the equivalent of about £16k. I thought it looked amazing and would generally shy away from gold watches. I did consider buying it at the time and gave myself some time to think about it, When I went back to have another look it was gone.
Looks better than in the pictures in my view.
Yes it's seem they scraped my clasp for the new style yachty one.
So I take my chocolate dial daytona will phased out like the clasp.
