The fact that Rolex Daytona fake watch was long overdue would be an understatement since two years ago. Its predecessor the Daytona 16520 had been for selling decades ago as well, but Cerachrom ceramic bezels from fake Rolex first hit the market in 2005, and from that very day enthusiasts got down to speculating that ceramic bezel Daytona was in the works. It took a long 11-year wait, but the 116500LN finally came to us, fueling one of the longest product waitlists in Rolex history as the new ceramic Daytonas started trickling into the marketplace. Even now these gems remain in very high demand, commanding a modest premium at a very nice price. Of course its new bezel has a big effect, but there are many other minor updates which also play into the new Daytona’s mass appeal.
You can see that both white and black dial variants feature a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel with an etched Tachymeter scale, as has been present throughout the history of the model. This simple improvement makes a very big effect on the aesthetic of the watch when compared to the previous 16520, both by adding a contrasting color to the case, as well as by making the bezel far more reflective than it has ever been. If the aim was to make the Daytona stand out more when on wrist, mission accomplished.
The new material doesn’t only affect the new Daytona visually either. One of the major advancements with Cerachrom ceramic bezels comes down to the material’s strength and longevity. Near impervious to scratching or fading, Rolex’s goal with the material when it launched was to rid its bezels was primarily to avoid the UV fading that came with the aluminum bezel inserts of decades past.
Although it is so cool in our eyes, there are still some pitfalls that come with the Cerachrom switch. Though scratch resistant, ceramic is anything but bulletproof. Should you be the type to wear your replica watch at all times, given the right hit it still possible to crack or shatter ceramic with the right impact. Instead of being left with a dent, as you would get from a more malleable metal, this kind of damage is grounds for replacement, and given the higher manufacturing costs you’ll be looking at a steeper bill from your authorized the replica Rolex service center to finish a replacement. This isn’t something that’s a deal breaker actually, but it is a factor to remember forever.
There seems nothing special to report in the way of changes for the dial of this fake watch. The only noteworthy talking points in the case of the black dial are the fact that the dial appears to be a touch more glossy than its predecessor. The lucky thing is that two of the most loved details about the Daytona remain untouched with the new release. The caliber has proven itself to be incredibly depenable, and thanks to its thoughtful design it is also much easier to service than the replica omega it replaced. This detail together with its general wearing comfort has played a big role in the Daytona’s immense following over the years, and though many people have called for an increase in size over the years, we still look forward to seeing Rolex sticking to their guns on this front.
