Do you guys think that the color of chinese 904l is very different than white gold in gen? I saw a couple of white gold watches recently and they seemed somehow "warmer" or "whiter" in color compared to SS.
​​​​​​Otherwise I looove this version, I find it much more attractive than the regular Daytona and I particularly love the Oysterflex. I'd never even dream of replacing it with a bracelet, I find rubber much more comfortable and better looking.

I think it depends somewhat on the lighting conditions. Here is my watch on the timegrapher and imho it looks pretty 'warm'.

These things are so rare that the only way you will get busted is if someone else shows up with the watch. That said, man, the grey looks close to me. You could almost say it was from a "different batch." I have one on order, and not worried at all.

Quick question, do you guys usually request the TD to pre-fit the suitable rubber strap length by informing them your wrist size so it would come ready to be worn?

also, I noticed InTime shows that the width of this watch is 13mm and not 12.5mm as compared to the rose gold / gold versions, error or?

Itto Karlus Thanks for your replies.

​​​​​​​I'm a bit unsure about this purchase, because I've never bought such an expensive rep and I'd like to get a good one. My pick would be the black 116500, but Noob really managed to mess the dial up, so I hope that this version looks a bit more similar to gen.

For me 116519 looks way better than 116500 because the of the subdials. I also placed and order and waiting for QC pics

>>> My question is why is this one almost $100 more than the rose gold Noobs we saw a couple months ago?

I can't wrap my head around this either. $700 for a rep - granted a great one that requires no modding, but man.

If anyone can think of a good justification I'm all ears. Changing the end link + strap isn't any reason to change a price IMO.

It looks like the Subdials have been sorted on the new batch of 116500, but they still have the badly spaced ROLEX on the dial

Where did you see that? How recent are you talking on the 116500 subdials?

You got any pics of the latest 116500? The latest QCs I've seen still got fat subdials.

What do you think about the dial on this release?

Hey guys,

where do you source the gen dial for this 116519? Wasn't able to find one on Chrono24. On top of that, there is not really a ceramic (gen) bezel available.
