| Case | 40mm × 12.5mm, 904L stainless steel |
| Dial | Black with silver-white chronograph sub-dials |
The Daytona 116520 is the stainless steel version of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, paired here with a black dial and silver-white sub-dials. This super clone follows the 116520 reference with an engraved steel tachymeter bezel, screw-down chronograph pushers, and the Oyster bracelet for $1,399. Every proportion, bezel engraving, and sub-dial position follows the genuine reference within tight production tolerance.
The Rolex Daytona 116520 super clone carries a 40mm Oyster case measuring 12.5mm thick, built from 904L stainless steel for the bright finish and corrosion resistance of the genuine reference. The case mixes brushed surfaces on the top with polished edges along the sides, matching the contrast finishing Rolex applies to the steel Daytona.
The engraved steel tachymeter bezel rings the dial with a tachymetric scale used to read average speed over a measured distance. This super clone engraves the scale into the steel itself rather than printing it, so the markings stay crisp through years of wear. The Triplock screw-down crown sits at 3 o'clock between two screw-down chronograph pushers, and all three thread closed to seal the case.
Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal covers the black dial and resists daily knocks for years of clear reading. The Daytona crystal carries no Cyclops lens, since the 116520 has no date function. The solid screw-down caseback seals the chronograph movement and holds water resistance to 100 meters, supported by the Triplock crown and the screw-down pushers.
The black dial of this Daytona 116520 super clone carries a deep, even black that frames the three silver-white chronograph sub-dials with strong contrast. The dial holds applied steel-tone baton markers at every hour, each filled with luminous material and edged in polished metal to catch light against the dark surface.
The dial carries three chronograph registers laid out in the genuine Daytona pattern. The sub-dial functions are listed below.
The central chronograph seconds hand sweeps across the full dial when the chronograph runs, while steel-tone baton hands track the hours and minutes.
The applied Rolex coronet sits at 12 o'clock, with "Rolex Oyster Perpetual Superlative Chronometer Cosmograph" printed in crisp, fine text. The "Daytona" name prints in red just above the 6 o'clock sub-dial. The minute and tachymeter tracks frame the dial with even spacing, giving the 116520 the balanced layout collectors expect from the steel Daytona.
The Rolex Daytona 116520 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 three days off the wrist.
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 pushers engage with a clean, defined click, and the central seconds hand starts, stops, and resets cleanly. The smooth sweeping seconds hand and the quiet winding rotor confirm the Swiss-grade build.

The Daytona 116520 super clone carries the steel Oyster bracelet, the three-piece-link design Rolex uses across its professional sport models. The bracelet uses brushed outer links with polished center links, and the Oysterlock folding clasp closes flush with a safety catch that guards against accidental opening.
The watch weighs approximately 145 grams on the full steel bracelet, giving the solid wrist presence buyers expect from a steel Daytona. The 40mm case and the tapered Oyster bracelet sit comfortably on wrists from 6.5 to 8 inches. The clasp includes a fine-adjustment system for small length changes through the day.

The steel Daytona offers distinct routes across reference generations, and the 116520 holds the engraved steel-bezel tier. The comparison of the three references is listed below.
| Variant | Bezel | Case Metal | Super Clone Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 116520 (this reference) | Engraved steel tachymeter | Stainless steel | $1,399 |
| 116500LN | Black Cerachrom ceramic | Stainless steel | $1,499 |
| 116519 | Engraved metal tachymeter | 18k white gold-tone | $1,499 |
Buyers select the 116520 for the classic all-steel look with the engraved metal bezel, the design that defined the Daytona for 16 years. The 116500LN buyers prefer the modern ceramic bezel introduced in 2016. White gold buyers choose the 116519 for a precious-metal case at a similar wrist size. The 116520 Super Clone with a black dial gives the sharpest sub-dial contrast of the steel options.
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona launched in 1963 as a chronograph built for motorsport, with a tachymetric bezel scale that reads average speed over a measured distance. Rolex named the model after Daytona Beach, Florida, the home of American speed racing. Reference 116520 arrived around 2000 as the first Daytona to use Caliber 4130, the in-house automatic chronograph movement Rolex developed to replace the earlier Zenith-based caliber. Rolex produced the 116520 with the engraved steel tachymeter bezel until 2016, when reference 116500LN replaced it with a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel. The 116520 Super Clone carries that 16-year run of the steel Daytona onto the wrist.

Real owners share the verdict.
I wanted the classic steel Daytona before the ceramic bezel models, and this 116520 nails it. The tachymeter scale is engraved into the metal, not printed. The silver sub-dials pop against the black dial. At $1,399 it looks like the real thing on the wrist.
Shipped FedEx and reached London in 6 days. The packaging was discreet exactly as described. The screw-down pushers unscrew and engage with a clean click, and the central seconds hand resets dead to zero. The weight feels close to a real steel Daytona.
I was nervous spending this much on my first clone. WhatsApp support answered every question about the 116520 before I ordered. The watch arrived in a full box set with papers. The brushed and polished case finishing closed the deal for me.
Yes, the Rolex Daytona 116520 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 steel case finishing, the black dial with silver sub-dials, and the engraved tachymeter bezel within tight tolerance. The price of $1,399 compares to a genuine secondary-market figure near $30,000.
A Swiss-grade automatic clone of Rolex Caliber 4130 powers this Daytona 116520 super clone. The movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour, holds a 72-hour power reserve, and drives the chronograph through the three sub-dials. Performance matches the genuine caliber on frequency and autonomy, with a smooth sweeping seconds hand and a quiet winding rotor.
Yes, the chronograph works fully on this Daytona 116520 super clone. The screw-down pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock start, stop, and reset the central chronograph seconds hand, the 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, and the 12-hour counter at 9 o'clock. The small running seconds at 6 o'clock stays active whenever the watch runs.
The Daytona 116520 super clone uses an engraved steel tachymeter bezel rather than a ceramic Cerachrom bezel. The tachymetric scale is engraved directly into the steel, matching the genuine 116520 produced from 2000 to 2016. Reference 116500LN replaced this steel bezel with a ceramic version in 2016, so the steel bezel is the defining feature of the 116520.
The case uses solid 904L stainless steel rather than a plated finish. This construction delivers the exact bright tone, corrosion resistance, and substantial wrist weight of the genuine steel Daytona. The 904L alloy is the same grade Rolex uses on its production steel watches, which keeps the brushed and polished surfaces consistent over years of wear.
The authentic Rolex Daytona 116520 trades near $30,000 on the secondary market, since Rolex discontinued the reference in 2016. This super clone sells for $1,399, which delivers 98% visual and functional parity at roughly 5% of the genuine market figure. Buyers receive the full steel Daytona wrist presence without the capital commitment.
The Rolex Daytona 116520 super clone ships via DHL Express or FedEx Priority with full insurance and tracked, signature-required delivery.
