![]() But it still retains a slightly textured surface, unlike the perfectly smooth lacquered finished of most Daytona dials. Made of a slice of iron meteorite, the dial is first etched with acid to highlight the Widmanstätten pattern, the streaky motif created by the crystalline structure of the material, and then polished. The hands on each piece was made with metal matching its case, besides being all fitted with a Chromalight, which is the Rolex version of a luminescent filling, for an enhanced legibility. All these dials have a sunray finish, with contrasting black sub-dials and they all use hour index markers. Time is exhibited on either: a silver dial for the 18k white gold, a champagne dial for the 18k yellow gold or an Everose for the 18k rose gold version. While its screw-down crown uses the Rolex Triplock waterproof system, which assists in keeping water-resistance on this timepiece able to reach up to 100 meters (330 feet). Beyond that nuance its still the standard fixed bezel engraved with a tachymeter scale, seen on previous Daytona watches There are also two screw-down push-pieces used to operate the chronograph functions. Mounted to the case is a Cerachrom black ceramic bezel for the models on the silicon Oysterflex strap while gold bezels have been given to watches attached to a gold bracelet. Except the bezel material on these new releases does vary depending on your choice. These new arrivals may have swapped out the dial, but they essentially come in the same case as all current gold Daytona already did and do. The 40mm case is available in three 18k gold options: white gold, yellow gold and Everose gold (which is Rolex’s proprietary version of rose gold) all with a solid screw-on case back. Now in 2021 it returns with a new slice of "outer space" spread out over three golden options, mixed up with either ceramic bezels on silicons straps, or gold bezels matching gold bracelets. Rolex first debuted the meteorite dial on a Daytona almost two decades ago. ![]() ![]() I immediately wired the funds directly to Thanh/Takuya Watches, and I had tracking the next day! Just picked up the watch from fedex today, immediately went and had it sized by a Rolex AD, and even they were impressed with not only having a brand new watch/full set available, but also at how fast I got it when people are having to put hefty deposits down with AD’s and wait a year or more for a new YG Day Date.Many of us have seen comets flash by in the night sky, but we wouldn’t want to see a meteorite coming our way unless it were wrist-sized. ![]() After selecting the one I wanted, again only MINUTES later, I receive pictures of the actual brand new watch, and full set. He asked me what model Rolex and specifics I was looking for, and literally within MINUTES I got 3 examples of Day Date’s that fit my needs. Thanh was already updating me with the tracking/shipping information before I could even have the chance to follow up with him myself! Thanh / Takuya Watches is TOP CLASS! I can’t express how grateful I am at how easy, painless, and streamline the transaction was with Thanh.Ĭommunication, Professionalism, and all around GREAT customer service both on the front end of the transaction and the back end.
