Clean chocolate dial 116515-0013 normal markers release

[dharma]

Seems R-factory made these change just to make trouble for Clean and Co.

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:

Looks beautiful. Is there an RG bracelet version that has the black bezel? I will have to look a bit harder.

Actually for RG bracelet models the bezel is usually not black, but also RG.

Like for example here:

Daytona 116505 RG Clean Factory 1:1 Best Edition Brown Stick Dial on RG Bracelet A4130 - CTime

Products Introduction Case Diameter 40mm Thickness 12.5mm Bezel Tachymeter bezel Case Material 18K Rose Gold Plated High Grade Solid Stainless

Maybe you could make a custom build?! (as you can order the black CF bezel separately) ... not sure if it will look satisfying ... and there's no gen model with RG bracelet and black bezel as far as I know ... so it would be clear, that there's something "strange" with your watch ... but could also be a personal touch

PS: CF improved their silver, gold & rose gold bezels lately ... so in case you order you might want to make sure to get the latest / improved version (with corrected "0"s and positions of several elements).

Thanks, although I’m not sure (not being arsey by the way) that the full RG is chocolate face? Some are advertised as brown dial and some chocolate. If they’re the same I really do like the pic you included with RG bracelet.

Just ordered the Daytona 116505 RG Brown/Chocolate from Steve at TheOneWatch.
