Rolex Daytona 116518LN Super Clone: 40mm Yellow Gold Black Dial Oysterflex Overview

The Daytona 116518LN is the 40mm yellow gold version of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, paired here with a black dial and the Oysterflex rubber strap. This super clone reproduces the 116518LN reference with three chronograph sub-dials, a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel, and screw-down pushers for $1,549. Every proportion, sub-dial position, and strap detail follows the genuine reference within tight production tolerance.

Case, Pushers and Cerachrom Bezel 40mm Yellow Gold-Tone Build

The Rolex Daytona 116518LN super clone carries a 40mm Oyster case measuring 12.5mm thick, built on a 904L stainless steel core with a high-grade yellow gold-tone finish for accurate color and long-term wear. The screw-down chronograph pushers flank the screw-down crown at 3 o'clock, and each pusher unscrews for chronograph use and locks back down to hold water resistance to 100 meters.

Black Cerachrom Bezel and Tachymetric Scale

The black Cerachrom ceramic bezel rings the dial and carries a molded tachymetric scale for reading average speed over a measured distance. Cerachrom is the corrosion-resistant, scratch-resistant ceramic Rolex uses for Daytona bezels, and this super clone reproduces the deep black tone with the recessed scale numerals filled in gold-tone. Mirror-polished surfaces wrap the case for the bright look gold is known for.

Sapphire Crystal and Caseback

Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal covers the black dial and resists daily knocks for years of clear reading. The Daytona uses a flat crystal with no Cyclops lens, since the reference carries no date display. The solid screw-down caseback seals the chronograph movement and supports the 100-meter water resistance alongside the Twinlock crown system.

Black Dial with Three Chronograph Sub-Dials

The black dial of this Daytona 116518LN super clone carries a deep, even black that frames the warm yellow gold case and the gold-tone sub-dial rings with strong contrast. The dial holds applied yellow gold-tone hour markers, polished and faceted to catch light against the dark surface, each marker outlined for the genuine Daytona look.

Sub-Dial Layout and Chronograph Hands

The 116518LN dial carries three sub-dials in the standard Daytona layout. The small seconds counter sits at 6 o'clock, the 30-minute counter sits at 3 o'clock, and the 12-hour counter sits at 9 o'clock. The central chronograph seconds hand sweeps the full dial during timing, and the gold-tone hour and minute hands run smoothly at 28,800 vibrations per hour for the genuine Daytona motion.

Logo, Text and Symmetry

The applied Rolex coronet sits at 12 o'clock, with "Rolex Oyster Perpetual Superlative Chronometer Cosmograph Daytona" printed in crisp, fine text across the dial. The outer minute track frames the dial edge with even spacing for accurate chronograph reading. The black dial and yellow gold markers give the 116518LN a sharp, high-contrast balance against the warm gold case.

Swiss-Grade Caliber 4130 Clone Movement

The Rolex Daytona 116518LN super clone runs on a Swiss-grade automatic chronograph movement engineered to reproduce the genuine Rolex Caliber 4130 in feel, frequency, and autonomy. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, winds bidirectionally through a free-rotating rotor, and holds a 72-hour power reserve for a full weekend off the wrist. The vertical-clutch chronograph engages cleanly with no stutter of the seconds hand at start.

Accuracy and Chronograph Performance

Daily deviation holds within -5 to +8 seconds per day after factory regulation, close to the chronometer standard of the genuine Caliber 4130. The chronograph starts, stops, and resets to zero through the screw-down pushers, and the 30-minute and 12-hour counters track elapsed time on the sub-dials. The smooth central seconds sweep and the quiet rotor confirm the Swiss-grade build.

Oysterflex Rubber Strap and Oysterlock Clasp

The Daytona 116518LN super clone carries the Oysterflex rubber strap, the high-performance strap Rolex developed for gold sport models. The Oysterflex is built over a flexible metal blade core and coated in black elastomer, which combines the comfort of rubber with the strength and stability of a metal bracelet. The strap closes with a folding Oysterlock safety clasp finished in yellow gold-tone.

Wrist Feel, Comfort and Fit

The Oysterflex strap holds the watch securely against the wrist and resists stretching over time, since the metal blade core gives the elastomer its shape. Longitudinal cushions on the underside of the strap lift it off the skin slightly, which improves airflow and comfort during daily wear. The 40mm yellow gold Daytona on the Oysterflex sits comfortably on wrists from 6.5 to 8 inches and suits both warm climates and active wear.

Daytona 116518LN Yellow Gold Oysterflex vs 116508 Gold Oyster Bracelet vs 126518LN Caliber 4131 Which Reference to Buy

The yellow gold Daytona offers three main routes, and the 116518LN holds the Oysterflex rubber strap option. The comparison of the three variants is listed below.

Variant Strap / Bracelet Movement Super Clone Price
116518LN (this reference) Oysterflex rubber Caliber 4130 clone $1,549
116508 Yellow gold Oyster bracelet Caliber 4130 clone $1,599
126518LN Oysterflex rubber Caliber 4131 clone $1,599

Buyers select the 116518LN for the sport-luxury character of a gold chronograph on a rubber strap, lighter on the wrist than a full gold bracelet. The 116508 buyers prefer the traditional all-gold Oyster bracelet for a dressier presence. The 126518LN buyers choose the newer generation with the Caliber 4131 movement and the redesigned case. The 116518LN Super Clone with the black Cerachrom bezel and black dial gives the strongest contrast of the three.

Heritage The Cosmograph Daytona and the Oysterflex Strap

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona launched in 1963 as a chronograph built for motorsport, with a tachymetric bezel scale for reading average speed on a racing circuit. Rolex named the model after the Daytona International Speedway in Florida and made it the brand's defining chronograph. The reference 116518LN arrived in the modern Daytona line with the in-house Caliber 4130, which Rolex introduced in 2000 to replace the earlier Zenith-based movement. Rolex launched the Oysterflex strap in 2015 on gold Daytona models, building the rubber strap over a flexible metal blade core to give a sport watch the comfort of rubber without the stretch of a plain elastomer band. The 116518LN Super Clone carries that combined heritage of the Cosmograph Daytona and the Oysterflex strap onto the wrist.

The Oysterflex strap is the right call

"I wanted a gold Daytona but did not want the weight of a full gold bracelet all day. The Oysterflex on this one is exactly right. It feels firm, not floppy, and the underside cushions keep it cool. The black dial against the gold looks sharp."
MD Marcus D · Verified buyer · Miami

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Every question below is answered with direct context covering super clone basics, quality, choosing the right reference, and orders & support.

Is the Rolex Daytona 116518LN a 1:1 super clone?+

Yes, the Rolex Daytona 116518LN sold on Super Clone Watches is a 1:1 super clone that reproduces the genuine Rolex reference at 98% visual and dimensional accuracy. The build matches the yellow gold tone, the black dial with three sub-dials, the Cerachrom bezel, and the Oysterflex strap geometry within tight tolerance. The price of $1,549 compares to a genuine retail near $34,000 at authorized Rolex dealers.

What is the Oysterflex strap on this Daytona 116518LN super clone?+

The Oysterflex strap is the high-performance rubber strap Rolex developed for gold sport models, built over a flexible metal blade core and coated in black elastomer. The metal blade core gives the strap the strength and stability of a metal bracelet, while the elastomer coating gives the comfort of rubber. This super clone reproduces that construction, so the strap holds its shape and resists stretching over time.

Does the chronograph on this watch work?+

Yes, the chronograph on this 116518LN super clone works through the screw-down pushers at 3 o'clock. The central seconds hand times elapsed seconds, the sub-dial at 3 o'clock counts 30 minutes, and the sub-dial at 9 o'clock counts 12 hours. The Caliber 4130 clone movement drives all three counters and resets them to zero on command.

How is the watch shipped internationally?+

The Rolex Daytona 116518LN super clone ships via DHL Express or FedEx Priority with full insurance and tracked, signature-required delivery. The watch travels in secure, discreet packaging to protect your privacy. Transit time runs 5 to 10 business days to the USA, UK, UAE, India, and Europe, and the shipping cost is included in the price.

What movement powers this Daytona 116518LN super clone?+

A Swiss-grade automatic clone of Rolex Caliber 4130 powers this Daytona 116518LN super clone. The movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour, holds a 72-hour power reserve, and drives the chronograph functions through the screw-down pushers. Performance matches the genuine caliber on frequency and autonomy, with a clean chronograph engagement and a quiet winding rotor.

Is the case solid yellow gold or finished steel?+

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 116518LN adds roughly $32,000 to the retail price without changing the wrist-side appearance.

What is the price difference vs the authentic Rolex 116518LN?+

The authentic Rolex Daytona 116518LN retails near $34,000 at authorized dealers and trades higher on the secondary market. This super clone sells for $1,549, which delivers 98% visual and functional parity at roughly 5% of the genuine retail price. Buyers receive the full yellow gold Daytona wrist presence without the capital commitment.

What warranty is included with the 116518LN super clone?+

A 1-year limited warranty covers movement defects and manufacturing faults on this Daytona 116518LN super clone. Replacement parts sourcing runs through the originating factory via Super Clone Watches support. Movement servicing guidance is provided through WhatsApp and email for the lifetime of the watch.
