Replica Rolex Daytona 40 mm Black Dial Yellow Gold 126518LN

Stones on a black and champagne dial

Eight small stones in gold settings mark the hours, a short baton sits at 6, and the three counters are champagne tone. With a black ceramic bezel and a black rubber strap, the stones are the only bright detail, so they stand out more here than on a full gold bracelet. Without the stones, the closest model is the intense black 126518LN.

126518LN gem-set specifications

Yellow gold tone on rubber

The 40 mm case, crown, pushers and the folding clasp are yellow gold-plated 904L steel; the bezel is black ceramic, the strap black rubber. Sapphire with an anti-reflective coating protects the dial. Rated to 30 m, it is fine with rain and hand washing, not with the pool or the shower.

Movements

The Japanese movement is a Miyota-based automatic chronograph at 21,600 vph with about 40 hours of reserve. The Swiss movement follows the 4130 chronograph and runs at 28,800 vph. Both run the counters at 3, 6 and 9 and reset with the lower pusher. The all-black 126518LN is the version without stones or champagne, and the Daytona replica collection page lists all the rest.

Are the stones on this 126518LN set in the dial or the bezel?

Only in the dial. Eight small stones replace the hour batons, and the bezel is the plain black ceramic insert with the tachymeter scale.
