Clean chocolate dial 116515-0013 normal markers release

[CTime]

Hi buddies!
It's me again.

I should put these two chocolate dial Daytonas in one post but I finally separated them. It takes longer than I thought



This genuine Rolex chocolate dial was released on April 2019. It is next version of the 116515-0011 number marker Chocolate dial. But I still prefer number marker ones.

Relatively speaking, the color of this dial is better than that of 0011, probably because the radial texture of this dial is not that obvious, so there is not much color difference.
If there are more radial patterns, it will cause more color changing effect under different angles of light. So oviously, this 0013 is more perfect.

Because Clean only provided a gen rose gold watch and multiple gen dial + hands. So in the pictures, it is the same case with different dials and hands. Please please understand us, the shooting job is really hard and expensive.

Let's have a look then

Aren t they missed labeled? Gen ones looks dirty

Thank you for your work! Looks great!

The thickness of the lume on the hands is off but not too bad. It looks pretty good

Thank you for the comparison CTime!

God I wish I had the money to buy this beauty I really consider to sell my sub for it

As mentioned already in the other thread, the numbers in the subdials are a little bit too small compared to the gen ... but ok, still a very fine rep.
Looking forward to staring at this beauty in real life ... Thanks again CTime

It's correctly labeled, we borrowed the gen from other friend, so it's been wore for quite some time.

Writing on the Clean dial are clearer and more legible!!

Unless it's sitting side by side with a gen, it's not easy to tell the difference. But you can see the sub dial fonts are different, the gold coloring is different, dial font is different.

Bottom line is that on wrist this will look fine. Another great job by Clean.

Aaaand, bam! ... the gen Chocotona is history!
R-Factory has a complete new line-up of Daytonas ... and no RG Choco dial anymore:
https://www.rolex.com/de/watches/cosmograph-daytona/all-models

All Daytonas now have a new dial, changed subdial rings (thinner), new hour markers (more pointy), new bezels (ceremic inlays) etc.

Well, first impression, I think I liked the old design(s) more ... change is bad ... oh oh, seems I'm getting old and stubborn

The closet new model to the Choco Daytona seems to be this one, just for reference:

Don't worry, there still will be many ppl wearing chocolate dial, and the gen price may go up then
