This timepiece is a high-quality replica inspired by the iconic Rolex Daytona reference 116500, often called the Panda due to its white dial with black sub-dials. It is built with a 904L stainless steel case and bracelet, mirroring the material used by Rolex for its superior corrosion resistance and finish. The movement is a mechanical chronograph, not a cheap quartz, offering a satisfying automatic winding experience. While not an official Rolex product, it delivers the look and feel of the genuine article at a fraction of the cost.
The watch is equipped with a mechanical automatic movement, specifically a clone of the Rolex Caliber 4130. This movement features a column wheel and vertical clutch, providing smooth chronograph operation. It hacks (stop-second) for precise setting and has a power reserve of approximately 48-72 hours. The movement is decorated with perlage and blued screws, visible through the display caseback on some versions. It is reliable for daily wear, but like any mechanical watch, it may gain or lose a few seconds per day.
Yes, 904L stainless steel is the same alloy used by Rolex. It is known for its high resistance to corrosion, acids, and chlorides, making it ideal for watches. The bracelet and case are made from 904L steel, polished and brushed to match the authentic Daytona finish. The clasp has a secure folding lock with the Rolex crown logo, and the links are solid and comfortable. Over time, the steel will develop a nice patina but will not rust or tarnish easily.
The case diameter is 40mm, exactly like the genuine, and the thickness is about 12.5mm. The lug width is 20mm. It weighs approximately 140 grams, giving it a substantial feel on the wrist. The screw-down crown and pushers are functional: the top pusher starts/stops the chronograph, the bottom resets. The crystal is scratch-resistant sapphire with a cyclops date magnifier at 3 o'clock (note: the genuine 116500 has no date, but this replica includes a date window for added convenience).
The watch is water-resistant to 30 meters (3 ATM), which means it can handle splashes and rain but is not suitable for swimming or diving. The screw-down crown helps protect the movement. We recommend avoiding any submersion to maintain the watch's condition.
Yes, the chronograph is fully functional. The center seconds hand measures elapsed seconds, the 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock tracks minutes, and the 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock hours. The small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock runs continuously. The pushers feel firm and have a satisfying click. However, it is not recommended to run the chronograph continuously for long periods as it may strain the movement; use it for timing events as needed.
The dial features a white background with black sub-dials, giving the classic Panda look. The hour markers are applied and filled with Super-LumiNova for low-light visibility. The bezel is a black ceramic engraved tachymeter bezel, scratch-resistant and matching the original's ceramic insert. The font and spacing of the numerals are very accurate. The hands are needle-shaped, also with lume. Overall, the dial and bezel are among the best replicas available.
The bracelet is an Oyster-style three-link bracelet made of solid 904L steel. It has a folding Oysterlock safety clasp with the Rolex crown logo. It also features the Easylink comfort extension link, allowing you to adjust the length by about 5mm without tools. The links are brushed on top with polished sides, just like the authentic. The clasp snaps shut securely and has a satisfying sound.
Absolutely. It comes in a sturdy watch box with a warranty card and instruction manual. The presentation is impressive, making it a great gift for watch enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates fine timepieces. Just be aware that it is a replica and not an authentic Rolex, so if the recipient values originality, you may want to consider that.
Clean the case and bracelet with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or magnetic fields. If you notice the time running fast or slow, you can have it regulated by a watchmaker. The movement is a common clone, so parts and service are accessible. For storage, use the provided box to protect it from scratches.
