Rolex Daytona Ceramic Ref.116500 White

As I have found most of the AD has this Watch now as of Today. As I talked to one of the major AD at Nathan Road today, they have just got one white Panda Today.

Price is HKD$140,000, well, I should not work as Blogger, but a fortune teller as two months ago in my blog I had mentioned that the price of HK$140,000.

There is a chance to have the price lower, but don't forget under limited supply of Rolex,
When the price is lowered to say HK$130,000, the demand surges, and the price will up again.

A bit not to be optimistic that this watch price will likely remain HKD$140,000 till September.
If you want to get a lower price one, may be buying from Gray dealer, there may still has a chance to go lower to HK$135,000 with in these two to three weeks time.

Let's see

Rolex Turn-O-Graph Stainless Steel verison on sale

 

From what I know the TOG was introduced in 1955 as an award given to US Air Force pilots returning from combat missions.

 

The US Air Force has an exhibition flight team called the Thunderbirds that was started in the 50s and I believe the name was taken from that. Recently, probably due to the discontinuation of this Watch, many PWC members and HKWF members asking this watch.

These are three watches that we have had located in Hong Kong.

They are Blue, Black and white, unique movable bezel, red second had and date! Three lines, outstanding Look!

HKWF’s selection of three best stainless steel Daytona references

The Rolex Daytona has been in vogue for over 2 decades, or even more for some earlier references. Earlier, we looked at how this particular ace of Rolex has evolved in time. In this episode, we will look at 3 best stainless steel Daytonas.

 

1.      Rolex Daytona 6263 – The “Paul Newman” Daytona with exotic dial

 

 

The legendary 6263 is on our list, and it always will and should on anyone’s list of favorite Daytonas. A Rolex 6263 Daytona with exotic dial is referred to as “the Paul Newman Daytona” as movie star Paul Newman used to wear it a lot when racing, and not racing. At 37mm, the 6263 has a very exquisite dial layout. It looks classic by any standard. The sub-dials are well placed with appropriate space and balance in between. The numerals on the sub-dials are exquisitely done. The chapter ring is another feature of an “exotic” dial. It matches the tachymeter on the bezel very well.

 



 

 

Other than that, the 6263 has red “Daytona” letters on the dial and features screw-down chronograph pushers. It is a must-have for any Daytona enthusiast and the prices at auctions have proved that.

 

2.      Rolex 116520 Daytona

 

The first automatic chronograph with an in-house Rolex movement - is it enough?

The 116520 has been in production since 2000 when it replaced the 16520 which had a modified Zenith movement. The 116520 is now out of production and it is replaced by the new ceramic Daytona 116500ln. However, it was a cult success by any means. The price of the 116520 had always been higher than the retail price. It was such a symbol of status that no other watches could, or can compare.

 

3.      Rolex 116500ln Daytona Ceramic

 

 

Rolex is good at solving problems. While the bezel of the 116520 was said to attract scratches easily, they have now put a ceramic bezel on the newest Daytona ref 116500ln. The new 116500ln is a stunner. The white dial version features the “panda” style dial similar to the legendary 6263. The best thing is that it has a ceramic bezel that is not easily scratched. Other details? The movement’s accuracy is now +2/-2 per day! As the successor of the 116520, it is going to be another cult success. Do get yours before it gets hard to find one.

PS The latest price of the Ref116500LN white is HKD$135,000 as of Today in Market of Hong Kong.

The Rolex 116508 Green dial and the Rolex 116509 blue dial

At Baselworld 2016, Rolex stunned us (or not) with the new ceramic Daytona 116500ln. Other than the new steel Daytona, Rolex also released two precious-metal versions which are the 116508 green dial and the 116509 blue dial. These two watches have added long-awaited colors to the Daytona collection.

 

 

You can see that the tachymeter scale on the bezel of the 116508 has been updated. The green sunburst dial is simply stunning with the yellow gold case. The green color here is a very dark forest green or some may call it Rolex Racing Green. It looks very sharp and classic, almost royal. There are red sub-dial rings and red color markers at each hour marker. The result is simply Super! It will surely be a hit as it is the first new dial for the YG Daytona in years, left alone the use of green, the signature color of Rolex.

 



 

 

The 116509 this year is updated with a blue sunburst dial. The colder tone of the blue color matches very well with the tone of white gold. The dial has red sub-dial rings and hands and markers made of white gold.

 

 



 

 

If you already have a steel Daytona, you might want to consider these two models. The green dial version is especially sharp in yellow gold case. It is certainly one of the killer combos you will find in the collection. However, the white gold version is good for low-profile people. Either will be a good choice for you.

 

If you need to buy one of these watches, we can get one for you at certain discount.

What to consider when buying your first Rolex?

1.      Price

When you are about to enter the world of Rolex, of luxury watches, price is often the factor you have to consider. You do not want to buy the cheapest Rolex model available and show your friends that you have a Rolex. For the first one, 50k-60k would be quite appropriate. The general public’s perception on a price of a Rolex is around that range.

2.      Model

Almost every Rolex model is iconic. However, you have to understand very well whether you want sports models or classic models. Again, the factor of price plays a role here. At 50k-60k, you can have the two popular sports models, the Submariner and the GMT Master II. These are two models that are easily recognized by people on the street and guarantee you very good attention.

 

 

 

 

Other than the model reference, you might want to pay attention to aesthetics. For example, again using the GMT Master II and the Submariner as examples, one may find the Submariner more classic while the GMT Master II more flashy. So, be sure to go to an AD to try before you make your final verdict.

 

3.      Function

Be practical on function when choosing your first Rolex. You can surely go for the Daytona as your first Rolex. However, does it really give you what you need? 

 

 

 

 

A Chronograph, Really?

One of the basic functions you need may include the date, instead of a chronograph. (If you want to time how long you have to wait for the green light then the chronograph goes first). So, it is recommended to choose a watch with a date window. For a more classic choice, the Datejust II is good with a fluted white gold bezel. You may also choose the Explorer II as it also has a GMT hand, with prices lower than the GMT Master II.
