Rolex Daytona 116523 white dial YG bezel on YG/SS bracelet

The TT panda racing was the very first Rolex i tried on my wrist in a shop, over 10 years ago now, and it was damn wonderful! Since that day he has always remained in my heart, so now:

Just received my clean 116505 at work and it’s stunning! Will do the plastic peeling at home :)

One thing I did notice straight away was that cleans crystal is pretty bad comparing to my btf daytonas.

That’s nicee. I really like to get Daytona 116518 yellow gold. But so afraid of the gold plated get scratches . Then my $800 is gone
You can always replate the watch. I think yellow gold would be easy, I don't know about rose

I usually post the photos on reptime reddit. Watch has been looking good so far

Lovely watch. How would you rate the RG color? In all the pics I’ve seen of the clean, the rg looks a little too yellowish.
Do you have any BTF RG Daytonas to compare to? 😝

I only have a yg btf not rg so can’t really compare to btf but I do have 18k rg jewellery and it is pretty spot on.

Clean is better than BTF with the RG plating, but it is still too coppery so should really be plated.

Who does rose gold plating well? Of course it won’t be a 1:1 to everose gold, but at least close?

Well, clean can offer 18k gold custom made case and bracelet. That's about 15-16k dollars to do so. Then the weight will be very close to gen
Wow! I know getting it in SOLID gold is A LOT more than the plated gold, but to ANYONE (on or off the wrist) who does not "just happen" to have a loop and scales with them be able to tell Gen from Rep? I reckon it would even fool most watch dealers?!

On the wrist… probably will fool most even dealers. Off the wrist, it’s not even close…

Stainless Daytonas weigh 142 grams (ceramic bezel, 148 grams with stainless bezel)
Full gold Daytonas weigh 222 grams

It’s an immediate tell. Long story short, don’t take it off your wrist if you’re trying to fool anyone.
