Replica Rolex Daytona 40 mm 126508 “John Mayer”

Green dial on the current 126508

Green and gold is the whole idea of this watch. The sunburst dial moves from bright to dark green as you tilt it, the three counters are light champagne with fine concentric circles, and the batons and hands are gold tone with luminous fill. Buyers often search for it as the John Mayer Daytona. The earlier green reference in a slightly different case is our 116508 John Mayer green dial.

126508 green specifications

No ceramic on this bezel

The bezel is metal: the tachymeter scale is engraved into the yellow gold-plated bezel, and the case, pushers and Oyster bracelet carry the same plating over 904L steel. The crystal is sapphire with an anti-reflective coating, and the folding clasp closes the bracelet. Rated to 30 m, it is fine in the rain and while washing hands, not in the pool.

Price and movement

This model is listed at a single price and runs on a Swiss automatic chronograph, so the product page has no choice of movement. The dial layout is standard: 30-minute counter at 3, running seconds at 6, 12-hour counter at 9. If you want the same case with a calmer dial, the white 126508 is the obvious comparison, and the rest of the Daytona line-up is one click away.

How is this 126508 different from the 116508 John Mayer?

Both are yellow gold-tone Daytonas with a green dial. The 126508 is the newer reference; on our photos its counters are light champagne with fine circles and the hands and batons have luminous fill. The earlier 116508 is listed separately.
