Did the same thing on Monday. Was offered this Daytona and ran with it. At $30k and steel now selling for $40k. This watch is a bargain and the dial is amazing.
You need some natural lighting, something small and bright above you at the right angles to really make that sparkle and show it off. I find led lighting not as nice as the old traditional bulbs that use 90 watts. I noticed that jewelry stores have a specific, super bright light above to make those diamonds sparkle, which is a detail that a normal person does not notice.
I agree btw WHOLEheartedly... SS version are more than DOUBLE on the grey market (and NOT available at the dealers, ofc)... BUT, if this IS at the dealer at MSRP, then it's a NO brainer IMO. The dial IMHO is better too boot, esp the subdials which are solid black (rather than black rings) which makes it a legit Panda. Few people out there bitch that the 116500ln is NOT a "Panda" dial... (imo, it is, but I get why it's an opinion some don't have).
I have just recently started looking at Rolex, but only the sub 10k models. I really want that oysterflex bracelet though, I am loving that. Wish they had it on one of their less expensive models.
If you don't buy the Oysterflex watch from a dealer, you may end up hating it because yoou cannot readily change out the sizing of the bracelet and used rubber bracelets may end up being a major hassle to get and manage. What a reward for getting fat or succeeding with a new diet!
Great review! Just one friendly correction, the endlinks aren't permenantly built in, it is secured by the ceramic bezel. All you have to do is pop off the bezel, and the endlinks will come right off. Then you can put a strap on it and give it a different look =)
crybabyteamo as far as I understand from the forums, ADs and from others who own this watch, the endlinks are permanent and cannot be removed as you say.
I wanted a SS 116500ln until a) they are NOT obtainable at ADs b) I "found" this model... Here is hoping one arrives at my AD for me, because side by side it is a FAR more glorious and wonderful watch than the SS!
A couple of things I forgot to mention: My wrist size: 7" Weight: Despite being on an Oysterflex bracelet, this watch is heavy (160g)! It's around the same weight as a SeaDweller and weighs more than a GMT or Sub. Case size: The cases of precious metal Daytonas are every so slightly larger than their stainless steel counterparts. If you think the stainless Daytona wears small, this watch has a bit more presence.
Beautiful piece. I know white gold is harder than rose and yellow gold and therefore should be more resistant surface scratches and dings. How has yours been holding up? Just curious because I’m thinking seriously of getting one. Thanks for your feedback!
Simon Warriner I could see them adding it to a gold sub in the next few years. I doubt, however, it’s added to a stainless sub anytime soon. For now, Everest and Rubber B straps are your best options for the sub
I believe it, and great watch! I have a 1997 16520 and have no idea when it was last serviced, if at all. It's perhaps the most precise watch in my collection.
Maybe if you're careless with your stuff, its pretty easy to avoid scratches just by being aware of how you put the watch down and what your wrist is doing.
nfavor the box is slightly larger than my SS boxes, but definitely not a large box. I’m not sure of the methodology behind the box assignments. Not that I really care, I just throw it in storage anyway.
@@TimetoWatch247 So...i didn't want to spend so much money, but my biggest mistake was going to check the watch :) It's amazing...so i got it. Thank you for the tips about the oysterflex.
bg18871 a lot of people weighing this decision it seems. I personally prefer the 519 as the bezel and bracelet perfectly complement and contrast the dial in a way the all gold bezel can’t. Plus, the 519 is much more rugged as a result of these two features. The 509 is more prone to scratching, especially on the bezel. Some say they prefer the heft of a 509, but the 519 is heavy in its own right - heavier than stainless steel. Currently, you can find a preowned 509 for the price of a 519.
With extreme care... I'd honestly only have a certified Rolex tech do so. Even then, there are a few horror stories online of ADs destroying the lugs of this watch trying to remove the OF bracelet.
I have both Rubber B and EverestBands. I personally like everestbands, the buckle is better, something I dislike for rubberB; the underside has more breathing space on Everestbands.
I got a very negligible discount on mine at the time, however, I would not expect any discounting now unless you have a great relationship with your dealer. These are now selling for a few thousand over MSRP on the secondary market.
LOVELY watch but i am just curious here, with that kind of money, you could have gone into holy trinity range of watches , why did you choose this instead? I agree with you though that this is best daytona rolex released and i would rather get this compared to steel version which is crazy rare and overcharged
Panda overseas chrono is gimmicky, huge, 14mm thick, no hacking seconds, movements break and bad qc from vacheron. not to mention will always be viewed as bargain bin vacheron by vc collectors. you are getting the lowest tier from that company. when it comes to ap royal oak chrono, outdated movement and not in house. it is almost an afterthought to throw it into the royal oak case. not pure AP. with the daytona, you are getting the top tier the brand has to offer, the case and movement are purpose built from the ground up to work for each other, timeless iconic design and prestige. the movement is the benchmark in the industry for all chronographs. not to mention, noone does precious metal better than rolex. do you want to have the lowest end high horology? or the top of the top benchmark horology?
hi alex, thanks for replying. However, i was comparing this to VC overseas 3rd generation with complete in house movement from VC (the oldest watchmaking company in the world), much more superb finishing. with no disrespect to daytona but the finishing is not on par with vc, is it? and what do you mean by no one does PM better than rolex? what do they do that is so special ? sorry, i dont mean to challenge you. in fact, i like daytona design but the i always wonder if its worth it. its really expensive. but i agree that the VC overseas is their low end.
Panda i bought a 3rd gen overseas. i returned it the next morning. the movement broke. i can tell you first hand the movement in it is not that pretty. The pusher feel of the daytona is miles ahead of the overseas. With the overseas, pushing down the start of the chrono felt like i broke something. it even makes a springy noise. Not to mention, it is over 14mm thick. swiss watches are about refinement and elegance which none are present in the overseas. It is well made no doubt, but the interchangeable strap thing is a gimmick and will get old quick. the watch just didnt feel as well put together as a daytona. or any rolex for that matter. not to mention, rolex actually own their private gold foundry. so the mining etc of the gold is all oversean by them in house. All rolex metals in fact are theyre own unique alloys. even their steel watches use 904L (everyone else typically uses 316) which is harder, more scratch resistant, and has a greater shine when polished. When it comes to their gold, the “everose” name for their rose gold is not just a gimmick. They have a patented alloy that prevents the color from fading to yellow over time. It actually has a percentage of platinum. I dont have much info on their white gold. But anecdotally when you put a white gold rolex next to any other white gold watch, you will realize what i am telling you. Its only with rolex that i can easily distinguish white gold from steel. the hue of their white gold is mesmerising. Honestly, if its tradition and heritage that attracted you to the overseas, then look at their manually wound chronos like the harmony or cornes de vache. The holy trinity was never in the business of automatic winding chronographs with column wheel and vertical clutch. that trend was sparked by zenith with the el primero and solidified by none other than rolex with the daytona. Holy trinity brands historically did manual wind chronographs based on the lemania movement (patek too). Not to mention, they would never use a vertical clutch because the horizontal systems are more exhibitional and displays the finishing better. when AP and VC decided to get into the sport chrono game, it was an afterthought. the AP chrono to this day and the 2nd gen overseas used the F. Piguet calibre developed for blancpain. They were rushed afterthoughts. That movement you can argue is well finished but they still wouldnt show it because the movement is only 33mm in diameter and its shameful to have a tiny movement in bulky sports watches. From someone who actually dropped 30k and is one of the first in my region to get my hands on the overseas chrono its a piece of crap. Its VC’s attempt at making a Daytona basically. I dont mean to slag VC as their heritage is notorious and their position as part of the holy trinity doesnt come from nothing. But i dont even consider the overseas a vacheron. thats like if ferrari made an suv. sure, it has the logo but is it a true ferrari? does it speak about the ethos and heritage of the brand? a daytona is undeniably rolex. any true passionate VC lover despises the overseas. It is honestly richemont trying to ride a trend and attract gullible young people attracted to brand caché. Trust me, i was that person. I wouldnt want you to make the same mistake. The AD in my area know me well so i am in the lucky position to be able to make them take it back. You might not be, and you will be stuck with a heavy, clunky, unwearable, and gimmicky hunk of steel. Not to mention, its friggin 2018 and vacheron still doesnt make a hacking movement in in their new “modern” and “sporty” chronograph movement. geneva seal can suck it if i cant even set the time accurately honestly cause in the end im buying a sports watch.... another thing to think about: vc spends a good amount of time rubbing “geneva seal” in your face as if that means anything when patek philippe dropped it and stopped using it and FP journe prides himself in not “lowering himself to geneva seal standards”. I know it sounds snobbish, but it makes sense. another thing to think about: the quick change strap may sound cool and sweet, but youre not going to be wearing a watch thats 42.5mm in diameter and over 14mm thick thats that heavy and flashy with any formal attire, so that rules out using the leather strap. Next, is this going to be your ONLY watch, or are you persuing a collecting journey? if youre going to be a collector then there is no value in the quick change strap cause every watch will have its own personality that you wanna keep and make every time you wear it special. bracelet watches are bracelet watches, strap watches are strap watches. And thats how they will stay in your collection. i hope i was of any help to you. good luck! and enjoy whatever you end up getting!
Panda and to answer your finishing question: yes, the daytona is better finished than the overseas. the overseas try to pull AP tricks and on the surface look like theyre offering high horology AP level finishing but none of it is done well. Rolex dont try as hard but the little they do, they do without fault. With VC, there is a threshold. They do not offer anything under 40 grand with true high horology level finishing. They are failed attempts at high horology finishing. AP owns the under 40 grand finishing dominion. And if emmaculate artisinal level finishing what youre after, a utilitarian sports chronograph is the worst way to try and get that. AP and hublot demonstrated that the way to make a visual impact with a utility sports watch is through material (gold, ceramic, rubber, forged carbon) and this very gold daytona is a testament to that. Look at it this way: if the overseas chrono did not have the vacheron constantin name attached to it and it were made by perhaps, JLC or Glashutte would you still go for it? is it really more beautiful than this Daytona?
Hi Alex, sorry for slow response, I was sick for the past few days. First off, thank you so so much for typing this long response.I truly appreciate it. its really good to hear from someone who actually tried both VC and rolex and made a comparison. it is very refreshing. It is still hard to believe that VC broke on the next day after you bought it, is it like a lemon? whatever it is, for the price they are charging, its bullshit. i also agree with you that VC overseas is not real VC. sb told me the same thing a while ago. Dude, you sound like a very knowledgeable person to me. i would really love to talk to you coz i got bunch of questions about horology LOL. if you dont mind, may i know your email address? btw, do you think frederic piguet 1185 is bad movement? i am considering BP milspec which uses that movement. for the geneva seal, i know it can be overrated as the brand like cartier start to gain geneva seal, patek started to drop it. geneva seal only address the finishing but it doesnt control how reliable the movement is.
Very nice watch, premium quality, but am a vintage Speedy lover because of its NASA history. Daytona doesnt fo it for me. Still, among the Daytonas I prefer the monochrome full black Daytona if it exists and steel only, no fan of panda dials. Too many rappers or showoff people wear Daytona, not good for the image of Daytona. Definitely a reason why I will never buy one. My dream Rolex is a tritium dial no date steel vintage submariner, with patina, plastic crystal and plenty of scratches.
“my dream model is the oldest ugliest most primitive submariner that is tarnished, scratched up, and is burned by friggin radioactivity (but im going to use a sexy word for it: “patina”) and i want the crystal to be bought from the hobbyist store and purposely scratched the fuck up because the modern beautifully made flawless pieces rolex made is worn by rappers” - same concept bro
My favorite Daytona of all time. This just might be my next watch in the collection. Just stunning and perfect in every way imaginable.
This may be the next addition to the collection. Beautiful piece!
I typically don't wear a strap watch with a suit but this Daytona is intriguing. Have you worn it with a suit? Thoughts?
Did the same thing on Monday. Was offered this Daytona and ran with it. At $30k and steel now selling for $40k. This watch is a bargain and the dial is amazing.
Nicely done and congrats! It's a no-brainer purchase these days if you're lucky enough to be offered one at retail.
This watch is $70k in the secondary which is not bad. Congrats!
@@xekret thanks. Yeah prices are low $60-$70k now. Seems like production will continue to be slow. I wouldn’t be surprised if it hits $100k next year
Without a doubt - my favorite Daytona
Thank you very much for a great review which was very informative. The 116519LN is next on my list, the dial is amazing. Great channel and collection.
Absolutely love this style of Rolex... Great Review indeed👍🏽

Best looking Daytona

I'm lucky to have the white gold one
I think an Oysterflex would look good on a sub. Maybe a future release?
Simon Warriner I could see them adding it to a gold sub in the next few years. I doubt, however, it’s added to a stainless sub anytime soon. For now, Everest and Rubber B straps are your best options for the sub
My everyday watch is a black sub on black Everest strap. Really comfortable and nice look. But I also don't like bracelets.
Tengo uno en color oro dé brazalete en dos tonos precioso no falla un segundo.
I believe it, and great watch! I have a 1997 16520 and have no idea when it was last serviced, if at all. It's perhaps the most precise watch in my collection.
Hi! How does the oysterflex wear overtime? Does it discolor or change at all? Thank you!
Any high polished surface is a scratch magnet period
Maybe if you're careless with your stuff, its pretty easy to avoid scratches just by being aware of how you put the watch down and what your wrist is doing.
compliments on compliments while wearing mine
Great watch
How much
Amazing watch
Panda is beautiful but the premiums are absurd
This one you can at least buy at sticker
Did you received more than 20% discount?
I wish, ha! I basically got a few hundred dollars worth of taxes removed. No way you can get a discount at all on this watch now.
It should come in a large Rolex box because it's precious metal. Your's looks like it came in a medium box?
nfavor the box is slightly larger than my SS boxes, but definitely not a large box. I’m not sure of the methodology behind the box assignments. Not that I really care, I just throw it in storage anyway.
My TD has it and i will go to check it tomorrow. Can you tell me about the size of the oysterflex you have?
Thank you
Nice! Let me know if you get it. Mine has an EE and EF sized oysterflex
@@TimetoWatch247 So...i didn't want to spend so much money, but my biggest mistake was going to check the watch :) It's amazing...so i got it. Thank you for the tips about the oysterflex.
What are your thoughts on this vs. 116509 with the same dial? It comes down to bracelet or ceracrome bezel.
bg18871 a lot of people weighing this decision it seems. I personally prefer the 519 as the bezel and bracelet perfectly complement and contrast the dial in a way the all gold bezel can’t.

With extreme care... I'd honestly only have a certified Rolex tech do so. Even then, there are a few horror stories online of ADs destroying the lugs of this watch trying to remove the OF bracelet.
My AD scratched the lug while installing the strap.

bro why ?
I have both Rubber B and EverestBands. I personally like everestbands, the buckle is better, something I dislike for rubberB; the underside has more breathing space on Everestbands.
