Historical Perspectives: The Very First Rolex Daytona, Explained (Or, What Is A Double-Swiss Underline Daytona?)
I tend to think that the best way to understand an icon of today - you know the types of watches I'm talking about, the Speedmasters, Submariners, and Royal Oaks of the world - is to take a look at the earliest iterations; the watches that left the factory first and set the overall tone for a particular model that would change wristwatches forever. So, just like I did for the AP Royal Oak "A-Series" here, I now present you with a detailed look at the earliest examples of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. I'll tell you what to look for when examining early models and how to spot the only 50 year old Daytonas out there. I'll be honest, this was a really fun article to write and I think you'll love it.

5167A-001 Strap Question
I recently purchased a 5167A from a seller here. The strap that is currently on it has C09. I ordered a replacement strap through an AD (twice now) and was sent a C10. The first told me that the C10 is the only strap, so I ordered it through a second AD, and they also sent a C10. They are working to find out the difference and replace it with a C09.
