Dial, case and exterior details
The stated exterior combines Custom Turquoise “Tiffany” Blue with Refined Black Sub-dials and Slimmer Luminous Markers; Black Cerachrom (Ceramic) Bezel featuring the new 18K Yellow Gold Outer Edge Ring; Black Elastomer Oysterflex Strap with 18K Yellow Gold Plated Folding Oysterlock Safety Clasp. The case specification uses 904L Stainless Steel Base with Heavy 18K Yellow Gold Plating. Inspect color and finishing under neutral light, since reflections and image processing can make polished surfaces, dial texture and metal tone appear different.
DD4131: functions and checks
Custom DD4131 Automatic Chronograph Movement (New Generation,) should be shown through winding and time setting plus a full chronograph start, stop and reset cycle. Check that the central hand and relevant counters return to their expected positions.
Size and wrist fit
The listed diameter sits in a broadly versatile range, but thickness and lug-to-lug behavior can make two watches with the same width wear differently. The oysterflex option also affects balance, flexibility and sizing.
Who should consider this configuration?
Consider this version if the dial and bezel combination matters as much as the operating chronograph. The reset alignment and pusher action deserve special attention during QC. The reference to match is 126518LN.
Compare this model with other Daytona configurations by reference, movement, size and exterior specification.
QC checklist for this reference
- Match the reference 126518LN and the complete dial, bezel, case and bracelet or strap configuration to the order.
- Use straight-on, neutral-light images to inspect printing, applied markers, hand alignment, date or day centering where fitted and visible exterior condition.
- Demonstrate chronograph start, stop and reset; inspect subdial behavior and return-to-zero alignment.
- Check winding, time setting, clasp or buckle operation and an available timegrapher reading for DD4131.
- Check link or strap condition, articulation, sizing range and the security of the clasp or buckle.
Practical questions before ordering
Is this an original Rolex watch?
No. This is a VS Factory-made replica offered by an independent retailer. Brand and reference names identify the design and configuration being compared; they do not indicate authorization or manufacture by the original brand.
Will every production batch look identical?
No. Components and finishing can change between batches. Treat the current product specification and the QC photos or video supplied for the order as the final reference.
Does a stated depth rating confirm water resistance?
No. A separate pressure test is required before exposing any watch to water.
