Replica Rolex Daytona 116528 40mm Blue Dial

Blue, gold and a touch of red

Three colours share this dial: deep blue for the face and counters, gold tone for the numerals and rims, and red on the small counter hands. Photo 02 is the clearest view. The 116528 mother of pearl is the dressier dial on the same yellow case, and the 116508 John Mayer green is the later full-gold model with a coloured dial.

Plating and wear

Every metal part is yellow gold plating over 904L steel, including the engraved bezel and the folding clasp on photo 04. The crystal is sapphire with an anti-reflective coating. Rated to 30 m, it copes with rain and hand washing.

Movement

Japanese is a Miyota-based automatic chronograph, 21,600 vph, about 40 hours; Swiss follows the 4130 chronograph at 28,800 vph. Start, stop and reset on both. The Daytona gold-tone range shows other colours, and the Daytona factory comparison covers builds.

How dark is the blue on this 116528?

A deep blue that turns almost navy away from the light, with the gold numerals standing out on top. Before shipping you get photos and a video of your own watch to check the shade.
