Rolex Daytona Cosmograph Gold Dial 116518 Super Clone
$1,450.00
Yellow gold case, yellow gold bezel, gold dial on the Oysterflex: every surface from strap to dial face runs in one tone. The engraved tachymetric scale is the only textural variation on the bezel. The sub-dials define the layout; without them, the face reads as undifferentiated gold. In low light, the gold dial deepens and the three registers hold their definition. For someone who chooses between the white dial and this one, the question is whether the dial contrasts the case or continues it.

Where this build differs from the original
- Movement. A cloned 4130, not a genuine Rolex calibre. It reproduces the architecture of the original and it runs a working chronograph, which is the point of the reference.
- Case metal. The genuine reference is 18k yellow gold. This build is plated over steel, which is why it costs what it costs. Solid metal builds exist and are priced accordingly.
- Water resistance. The genuine reference is rated to 100 metres. This build is not pressure tested. Treat it as splash resistant and keep it out of the pool.
Every watch spends 24 to 48 hours on a timegrapher before dispatch, and you approve photographs and video of your actual watch before it ships. Two year warranty, in writing. More on what a super clone is, or see the rest of the Daytona range.

Isabela Ruiz –
Was I nervous about getting a watch like this as a gift? Absolutely. But the second I put it on, that feeling went away. The Oyster bracelet has a really solid, smooth feel to it, and it sits on the wrist in a way that just works for everyday use. It does not feel bulky or awkward, which mattered a lot to me because I wanted something I could actually wear, not just stare at in a box.
The weight balance feels right and the watch has a nice presence without being over the top. i’ve worn it to work, out to dinner, and just running errands, and it fits in everywhere. The whole thing feels carefully put together, especially on the wrist.
My partner was so happy when they gave it to me that they kept smiling the whole night. They knew they got something I’d wear all the time, and they were right.
H. Patterson –
Bought this from a local source after comparing a few options, and for a daily wear piece it’s doing exactly what I wanted. The cyclops magnification is clear and easy to read at a glance, which matters more than I expected. The date jumps out nicely without looking exaggerated.
The glide-lock clasp is a big plus too. It feels secure, adjusts smoothly, and makes the watch fit better through the day instead of feeling stuck in one position. For me, that’s the kind of detail that decides whether a watch gets worn often or sits in a drawer.
My wife actually said it looked better in person than she expected, and she was pretty excited when she saw it on my wrist.
