The Daytona model 116508-0013 ‘John Mayer’ is one of the most discussed watches in recent years since it combines a striking green dial with a case made of solid yellow gold in a way that immediately attracted the interest of collectors. The bright green contrasted with the rich gold gives the watch a bold and modern appearance while at the same time retaining the classic yellow gold Daytona shape that people are familiar with. This super clone offers a close approximation of the green dial and yellow gold case combination, being good enough to please anyone looking for the John Mayer Daytona style.
The watch features the right 40mm yellow gold case, together with a smooth polished bezel and a tachymeter scale that match the simple design style which Rolex applies to its precious metal Daytona models. The finishing of the case on the lugs and on the crown guards remains sharp, the gold surfaces having a rich and uniform colour instead of appearing flat or excessively bright. The screw-down crown and the pushers also have the correct shape and position, thus ensuring that the case outline is accurate for the authentic version.
What makes this reference special is the green dial, and this replica successfully reproduces the intense green hue, preventing it from being either too light or too dark—which is the kind of flaw that reveals cheaper versions. The yellow gold hour markers and the chronograph hands offer a clear contrast to the bright dial colour, linking with the case colour at the same time as ensuring easy readability. The chronograph subdials are in the right position and the tachymeter graduations along the bezel edge remain sharp and well defined.
The Oyster bracelet has the same yellow gold finish as the case, featuring a properly proportioned three-link design and a folding Oysterlock clasp which secures firmly and maintains its shape from link to link. Because of its solid link construction it has a genuine weight when worn on the wrist, producing the same solid sensation as the real article rather than a hollow one. The case thickness and the curvature of the lugs ensure that it lies flat and is comfortable to wear, just as the genuine Daytona does.
If you’re a collector after the distinctive green dial appearance which became well known through the John Mayer edition, this super clone replica of the Rolex Daytona 116508-0013 provides a convincing version of that bright, gold-toned appearance. The intense dial colour, the rich yellow gold finish on the case, and the bracelet all combine to give the striking yet classic Daytona look that this model is famous for.
