Who has the tungsten Rainbow Daytona’s?

Have you guys paid any attention to Grailzee? Check out this Rainbow:

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 40MM Aftermarket Black Dial Yellow Gold Oyster Bracelet (116508)

Rolex Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116508 for sale

Problem is I hate those 116598 diamonds dials. I like the 116595 sapphire dials with sapphires as the numbers and not diamonds. And then they used the 116508 yellow gold Rolex as the donor whereas I’d rather have the 116505 Rose gold Rolex as the donor. Her ask is not bad but as I’ve mentioned above why spend that kind of money when I can get very very close to this for less than $4000 and they both would weigh literally the same. Just thought I’d show this to you guys

I'd rather buy it myself and mod it myself.

The problem you have is its tough to buy a rose gold 116505 or even a yellow gold 116508 18k rolex for under $30k and then you have to buy the dial and bezel and then have the case drilled out for the diamonds. And all that is assuming you can do the work yourself and if you can’t, then you need a watchmaker. .Gonna have $40k into the damn thing and I change moods/hobbies like I do wives and now try to resell it. But to each their own.

Exactly.. Someone just paid 5.8 million euros for a banana duct taped to a wall..

Ok, lets call him "someone"....

@Watchguy369 this is the "someone" who bought the banana.

Sorry Bud, but yes I do believe a high quality 225 g Rainbow Rep is 95%-98% close enough for me to wear especially since I won’t be encountering the self experts (Paul Newman, Reaps, Prizon and cronies) who themselves have probably never seen a real Rainbow Daytona up close. Not going to blow an addt $20k to rock a real 18k band that friggin weighs the same as my rose gold 225 g rep. Hey to each their own. Just makes my skin crawl when I hear these self anointed experts diss my high quality watches that I may have $15k invested. I’ve been around here longer that the majority of you experts and know that this site, which I enjoy, is important to me and not going to spend any more time fighting with all the professional watchmakers here. Done.

Here is my wwf I bought a few years ago

Wow thats fucking gorgeous!!

 

[BlossomboofyBoofystewie2]

Love it!!!

 

[VenomGT3]

My bezel + dial, on a CNC solid gold case and bracelet would make it perfect. Since my bezel’s transitions are spot on

 

[galevin]

Venom, seen your watch for a while. You must be getting tired of it. I hope to be first in line when you sell this. Seriously please keep me in mind. Of course, we would have to do it according to the rules. You put up a reserved ad just for me. This week works for me. Does it work for you? LOL.

 

[FlamingMontains]

That one is gorgeous!

 

[ILuvTheCLock]

I can't believe I'm saying this.....This thread, makes me want to get one now lol

I never thought they were that cool looking, but dang it, it's like the Seiko Monster, after a little while, you just have to have one

I hate members on this forum who have nice watches AND also take nice photos. I need one of these now...

Guys, That's why I said earlier "the RG rainbow is a piece of art" - as long as your economic status (i.e. YOU) is up to this standard or you tell people it's a Rep - this is THE watch to get! Just my 2 cents

I’m probably going to sell mine I think

I saw on tictok that a tungsten heavy version of Daytona is sold, which can reach about 195g. They claim that the modified Daytona is currently the closest to the gen in weight on the market.

 

[FlamingMontains]

The 126595RBOW is out now, I imagine the 116595RBOW prices still start to decline now.

 

[Watchescorts]

OMG, I've never heard that Rainbow can reach 225g, is it because of the increased length of the bracelet?
By the way, will the outer cover of the bracelet fall off?

Is there a consens on the new ZF Rainbow with 4130? Can someone tell me if the gold plating is near the quality of the gmf daydates?

Sapphire gradients don’t look amazing although it might be the light?
