Buyers select the 116518 for the warm yellow gold case paired with a cool blue dial, a contrast that stands apart from the more common black and white dials. The 116508 buyers prefer the green dial introduced for the gold Daytona. Steel 116500LN buyers choose the black ceramic bezel and the lower entry price. The 116518 Super Clone with a blue dial gives the most distinctive look of the three.
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona launched in 1963 as a chronograph built for motorsport timing, named after the Daytona International Speedway in Florida. Rolex designed the tachymeter bezel to let drivers read average speed directly from the elapsed seconds. The reference 116518 arrived in 2000 as part of the first Daytona generation to use the in-house Caliber 4130, replacing the earlier Zenith-based movement. Rolex updated the 116518 with a 904L gold case and screw-down pushers, holding the 40mm Oyster case format. The 116518 Super Clone carries that motorsport heritage of the Cosmograph Daytona onto the wrist with the yellow gold and blue dial pairing.

"I wanted a gold Daytona that was not the usual black or white dial, and this blue version delivers. The blue is deep and the gold sub-dials pop against it. The chronograph pushers screw down tight just like the real thing. At $1,499 it looks like the genuine piece."
"Shipped FedEx and arrived in London in 7 days. The packaging was discreet exactly as described. The chronograph starts, stops, and resets perfectly, and the seconds hand snaps right back to zero. The weight feels close to a real gold piece."

The build matches the yellow gold tone, the blue dial finish, and the three chronograph sub-dial layout within tight tolerance.

Yes, the chronograph function works on this 116518 super clone. The two screw-down pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock start, stop, and reset the central chronograph seconds hand, and the 3 and 6 o'clock counters track elapsed minutes and hours. The chronograph operates the same way as the genuine Caliber 4130, with the seconds hand snapping back to zero on reset.
The tachymeter bezel on the Daytona 116518 measures average speed over a fixed distance. The engraved scale lets the wearer read speed in units per hour by timing how long a moving object takes to cover a known distance with the chronograph.

A Swiss-grade automatic clone of Rolex Caliber 4130 powers this Daytona 116518 super clone. The movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour, holds a 72-hour power reserve, and drives the chronograph through three sub-dials. Performance matches the genuine caliber on frequency and autonomy, with a smooth sweeping seconds hand and a quiet winding rotor.
The case uses a high-grade yellow gold-tone finish over a 904L stainless steel core rather than solid 18k yellow gold. This construction delivers the exact warm gold color, a substantial wrist weight, and durable scratch resistance for daily wear. Solid 18k yellow gold on the genuine Rolex 116518 adds roughly $40,000 to the retail price without changing the wrist-side appearance.
