Absolutely love that, but $50k is a bit out of budget even if you could find one. Wonder what they will fetch when flipped.

Wonder if the 50k USD is inc tax. POA on the uk which from memory starts about 40k
Going to be interesting.
My lad's at the circuit. I wonder if they have a pop-up shop?
And of course it will be unobtainable

Rolex have a shop at the circuit.
A big shop.
Son went shopping.
Wasn't allowed in.
Saw this on the adverts for the Le Mans coverage, was quite amazed they were doing a special edition for an event - don’t remember that happening in recent times.
Difficult to be enthralled when it’s such a huge whack of money and will be unavailable, even if you do have the funds. It may as well be only available from a boutique on the moon.
On the plus side any Omega special edition thread can never again be bombarded by Rolex fans claiming that Rolex never do special editions.
Nice - I'd be up for this in S/S if they adopted a slightly larger case (42-43). I have the daisy but find it too small.
Note, this is not being marketed as an LE, but as an anniversary edition being produced in lower numbers (if one thought that normal S/S sports numbers were not low enough).
There's a certain irony in them releasing this; having renamed the watch for the oh-so-parochial US market, it seems odd for them to go back to their pre-Daytona roots (while maintaining that Daytona name). I've always felt it was a shame that Rolex dropped the Le Mans moniker. Perhaps the current Rolex management agrees with me...
I thought that open/display case backs were frowned upon by Rolex fans?
I think they have got a bit mixed up... is it a Daytona (name of a race circuit) or a Le Mans (another name of a race circuit).?How can it be both? Strange - I can understand them making a sister to the Daytona and calling it the Le Mans, but combining both names is just weird.
I suspect in their eyes the Daytona name has transcended from a race circuit name to a product name owned by Rolex ... i.e. their product has become bigger and better know than the race circuit after which it is named ... some people probably don't even know the origins of the name Daytona. Google ranks the watch higher than the circuit after which it is named.
A friend of mine had just been allocated one of the new Daytonas.
