The Rolex Daytona 116500 was highly anticipated when it was launched at Baselworld 2016 and sold out instantly at all retailers worldwide upon its introduction. Even now, more than half a month after its initial release, the stainless steel, and ceramic Daytona ref. 116500LN remains one of the most coveted fake Rolex watches in the entire world, and if anything, it has only become more difficult to purchase at the retail level. Let’s take a closer look at the Rolex Daytona 116500LN and the key features that make it one of the most sought-after luxury replicas watches in existence.
The Rolex Daytona has a long and rich history as one of the world’s premier luxury sports watches. First introduced in 1963, the Cosmograph Daytona has gone through many upgrades and iterations, and along the way, it has become one of the brand’s most recognizable, valuable, and popular timepieces.   4a997bdb0b90498238b7c3d17372ece7-600x400
Today, we are currently in the third generation of the Rolex Daytona. This third-generation was first introduced by Rolex in 2000 and it is defined as the most important update to the collection to date. Rolex’s own chronograph movement. While the third generation Rolex Daytona retains many of the same core design features as the second generation, there are some other noteworthy upgrades.
One way to distinguish this generation is that the watches of this generation have six-digit reference numbers, some of which are followed by letters based on their bezel type. For example, the Ref. 116500LN is followed by the letters “LN”, indicating the use of a black ceramic bezel – something Rolex began installing on certain Daytona models back in 2011. In addition, on the generation with the in-house movement, the running second’s indicator has been moved from 9 o’clock to 6 o’clock, which also serves as a visual way to identify the correct age of a Rolex Daytona watch.
Before we talk about the Rolex Daytona ref. 116500, let’s take a minute to explain what Cerachrom is and why it is so popular and important in modern Rolex replica watches. The name “Cerachrom” is a combination of the words “ceramic” and “chrome”. It is the name chosen by Rolex to identify its patented ceramic material, which is used in the brand’s contemporary line of sports watches and comes in several different colors.
Highly prized for its attractive qualities and resilience, Rolex’s Cerachrom ceramic bezel is virtually scratch-proof and completely colorfast, making it a very tough and wear-resistant watch component. Unlike the scratched, cracked and faded aluminum bezels of older Rolex watches, Cerachrom bezels retain the same rich color and shiny appearance after decades.
