Has Rolex ever released the Daytona watch with the reference number 116520LV? After conducting a search on Google, I found that all result pages indicate that this model is a replica. Therefore, it seems that Rolex has not produced this specific Daytona watch. It appears to exist only in the world of replica watches, along with other models like the Daytona II and Sea-Dweller D-Green. It is interesting to note that our watch factories have created these replicas despite the absence of genuine counterparts. Perhaps they possess a vivid imagination and enjoy exploring new designs. Returning to the topic of this Daytona replica, it is commonly referred to as the “green lizard” due to its green ceramic bezel and green subdials on a white dial. The replica is manufactured by BL, a relatively small factory in our market. Although this particular Daytona model is not recognized in the genuine watch industry, BL’s creativity in introducing unique designs may surprise us in the future.

The BL factory has given this particular Daytona replica the name 116520LV, which appears to be a reference to another replica Rolex watch, the Submariner 116610LV, known for its green ceramic bezel. The green Daytona replica features a 40mm case with a thickness of 15mm, constructed from 316L stainless steel instead of the higher-grade 904L stainless steel. Although I have recently posted a review of this watch on my blog, I have not yet sold any units. However, if the watch receives a positive response from the market, BL factory may consider upgrading the case material to 904L stainless steel. Upon examining the photos, you can observe that the case exhibits a combination of brushed and polished finishes. The chronograph buttons can only be operated after unscrewing them. It is worth noting that the back side of the lugs lacks engravings, a feature that is typically present on genuine Rolex watches. Noob factory, on the other hand, incorporates this small detail in their latest Daytona replica watches.

The dial of this Daytona replica is white, featuring three white subdials adorned with green circles and silver white markers. The functionality of the three small dials is precise, with a small seconds hand located at 6 o’clock, a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock, and a 12-hour chronograph counter at 9 o’clock. In my opinion, the watch would gain even more popularity if it had a fully green main dial with three silver subdials. As is the case with other Daytona replica watches, the 116520LV also incorporates luminous material on its hour markers, as well as on the hour and minute hands.

The bracelet of this Daytona replica is crafted from 316L stainless steel and features three sections of links. The middle links have a polished finish, creating a contrast with the brushed links on either side. Similar to a genuine watch, you can easily remove or install the links using a small screwdriver. The process is straightforward and can be done by yourself. Additionally, the replica watch is equipped with an Asia clone 4130 movement, which takes inspiration from a Chinese working chronograph movement.

The GMT-Master II is a highly popular model in the Rolex lineup and has consistently been one of their best-selling replica watches. The latest addition to the GMT family is the 126710 model, often referred to as the “Pepsi” watch due to its distinctive blue and red ceramic bezel. The genuine GMT-Master II 126710 is priced at up to $20,000 USD, making it a sought-after timepiece among watch enthusiasts.In the replica watch industry, there are several top manufacturers known for producing high-quality replica Rolex GMT-Master watches. These include BP, KS, DJ, GM, and Noob. GM stands out as the only factory currently using 904L stainless steel to create their replica of the Rolex GMT-Master II 126710, giving them a significant advantage in terms of material quality.It’s worth noting that Noob, another renowned manufacturer, has not yet released their version of the replica Rolex GMT-Master II 126710. If you are eagerly awaiting the best version from Noob, you may need to exercise patience as it could take several months before it becomes available.

The case of the GMT-Master II 126710 is crafted from solid 904L stainless steel, which offers exceptional corrosion resistance. GM factory, known for its attention to detail, ensures that the entire middle case of the watch is also made from solid 904L stainless steel. When it comes to the bezel, GM factory goes the extra mile by using a real bi-color blue and red ceramic insert. The process of firing the bi-color ceramic is challenging, but GM factory has successfully researched the porcelain technology used in genuine watches to create a Pepsi ceramic bezel that looks incredibly natural. Additionally, the 24-hour markers on the bezel are filled with a platinum coating that closely resembles the color of the genuine model.

Every aspect of the dial on the GMT-Master II 126710 replica is meticulously executed. The black dial features white round hour markers, ensuring excellent visibility. The red GMT hand matches the exact shade of red found on the genuine watch. It’s important to note that due to the Asia ETA 2836 movement used in this replica, the hand stack may not be completely accurate. This could be considered the only flaw one might find on the dial. However, despite this minor discrepancy, the GMT hand functions precisely, providing the same level of performance as the original GMT-Master II.

The Jubilee bracelet on the GMT-Master II 126710 replica is a standout feature, meticulously crafted from solid 904L stainless steel. Each link of the bracelet is designed to be flexible, ensuring a comfortable fit on the wrist. The three sections of links in the middle are polished, while the links on the sides are brushed, creating a bracelet that perfectly replicates the appearance and texture of the original. It’s worth mentioning that the Asia ETA 2836 automatic movement powering this replica watch is highly reliable and often regarded as a pioneering movement in the fake watch industry. In addition to the blue/red 126710 model, GM factory has also introduced the black/blue 126710BLNR option for watch enthusiasts to enjoy.

Presently, the Noob factory takes great pride in their Daytona models, as it has emerged as their flagship offering. Surprisingly, it has gained more popularity compared to their Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV replicas. With the introduction of 904L stainless steel in the replica watch industry, every factory has shifted their focus towards the development of replica Rolex watches, with a particular emphasis on the production of Daytona models. This intense competition directly impacts the dynamic relationship between Noob and ARF factories.

Today, I will provide a brief review one of perfect replica rolex, specifically the yellow gold model with a green dial.The case of this yellow gold Daytona measures 12.5mm in thickness, which closely resembles the dimensions of the original timepiece. Noob has achieved this by utilizing their newly developed 4130 movement, which not only allows for all the functions of the original watch but also aids in reducing the overall case thickness. The inner case material is crafted from 904L stainless steel, while the exterior boasts a yellow gold coating that is an impressive 5 mils thick.

The green dial on the replica Daytona is personally my favorite, as it adds a versatile touch that makes it suitable for both men and women. Each of the small dials functions smoothly and efficiently, with a distinctive red circle featured within each one. The small second hand can be found on the subdial positioned at 6 o’clock, while the other two small dials serve as displays for the minute and hour chronograph functions.To minimize the likelihood of potential issues, we advise against frequent operation of the chronograph buttons. This recommendation applies not only to the Daytona models from Noob but also to those from ARF.

Interestingly, it appears that the Super Clone 4130 movement developed by the Noob factory has a significantly lower repair rate. One of my clients recently purchased two Noob Daytona watches, and he informed me that both timepieces are functioning flawlessly. In my opinion, the Super Clone 4130 movement from Noob demonstrates greater stability compared to their 3135 movement.

AR factory also produces a green Daytona model, but I find that certain small details such as dial printings, case engravings, and inner bezel engravings are not as refined as the version offered by Noob. However, it’s important to note that Noob’s Daytona comes with a significantly higher price tag, costing an additional $300 USD. Both Noob and ARF offer quality Daytonas, but if budget permits, opting for Noob may be a better choice.
