Rolex Daytona 116520 Super Clone: 40mm Steel Slate Grey Dial Overview

The Daytona 116520 is the steel version of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, paired here with a slate grey dial and contrasting black chronograph sub-dials. This super clone reproduces the 116520 reference with the engraved steel tachymeter bezel, three chronograph counters, and the Oyster bracelet for $1,449. Every proportion, bezel engraving, and pusher action follows the genuine reference within tight production tolerance.

Case, Pushers and Engraved Tachymeter Bezel 40mm Steel Build

The Rolex Daytona 116520 super clone carries a 40mm Oyster case measuring 12.5mm thick, built from 904L stainless steel for corrosion resistance and a bright, durable finish. The case combines polished flanks with a brushed top surface, matching the finishing pattern of the genuine 116520 produced between 2000 and 2016.

Steel Tachymeter Bezel and Screw-Down Pushers

The engraved steel tachymeter bezel rings the dial with a 400-unit scale used to read average speed over a measured distance. This super clone uses a metal bezel with deeply engraved numerals rather than a ceramic insert, accurate to the 116520 reference. The two screw-down chronograph pushers flank the Triplock crown at 3 o'clock, and each pusher unscrews for chronograph use and locks down to hold water resistance.

Sapphire Crystal and Caseback

Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating covers the slate grey dial and resists daily knocks for years of clear reading. The solid screw-down caseback seals the chronograph movement and holds water resistance to 100 meters, supported by the Triplock crown and the two screw-down pushers.

Slate Grey Dial with Black Chronograph Sub-Dials

The slate grey dial of this Daytona 116520 super clone carries an even grey base that frames the steel case with a quiet, technical tone. Three black chronograph sub-dials sit against the grey surface, giving the strong reverse-panda contrast collectors associate with this reference.

Sub-Dial Layout and Chronograph Counters

The dial holds three sub-dials in the standard Daytona layout. The small seconds counter sits at 6 o'clock, the 30-minute chronograph counter sits at 3 o'clock, and the 12-hour chronograph counter sits at 9 o'clock. Applied steel-tone baton markers ring the dial, and the central chronograph seconds hand sweeps the full minute track for elapsed-time reading.

Logo, Text and Hands

The applied Rolex coronet sits at 12 o'clock above "Rolex Oyster Perpetual Superlative Chronometer" and the "Cosmograph Daytona" line in fine, crisp print. Luminous baton hands and markers light the dial in low light. The slate grey dial and black sub-dials give the 116520 a sharp, sporty balance against the steel case and bezel.

Swiss-Grade Caliber 4130 Clone Movement

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 a full weekend off the wrist.

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 cleanly through the screw-down pushers, and the central seconds hand returns to zero on reset. The smooth sweeping seconds hand and the quiet rotor confirm the Swiss-grade build.

Steel Oyster Bracelet and Oysterlock Clasp

The Daytona 116520 super clone carries the Oyster bracelet, the flat three-piece-link design Rolex uses across its professional steel models. The bracelet uses 904L stainless steel to match the case and the bezel, with brushed outer links and polished center links that taper from the lugs toward the wrist.

Oysterlock Clasp, Wrist Feel and Comfort

The Oysterlock folding clasp closes with a folding safety catch that guards against accidental opening. The watch weighs approximately 145 grams on the full bracelet, giving the substantial sport-chronograph wrist presence buyers expect from a steel Daytona. The 40mm case and tapered bracelet sit comfortably on wrists from 6.5 to 8 inches.

Heritage, Comparison and Ownership Details

This section covers the lineage, cross-reference decisions, QC process, and post-purchase logistics for the Rolex Daytona 116520 Super Clone: 40mm Steel Slate Grey Dial.
Daytona 116520 Steel vs 116500LN Ceramic vs 116503 Two-Tone Which Reference to Buy

The Cosmograph Daytona offers three main steel-case routes, and the 116520 holds the all-steel engraved-bezel tier. The comparison of the three variants is listed below.

Variant Case Metal Bezel Super Clone Price
116520 (this reference) 904L steel Engraved steel tachymeter $1,449
116500LN 904L steel Black Cerachrom ceramic $1,499
116503 Steel and yellow gold Engraved gold tachymeter $1,499

Buyers select the 116520 for the all-steel look and the engraved metal bezel that defined the Daytona for 16 years. The 116500LN buyers prefer the modern black ceramic bezel introduced in 2016. The 116503 buyers want the warmth of a two-tone steel and gold case. The 116520 Super Clone with a slate grey dial gives the most understated and technical look of the three.

Heritage The Cosmograph Daytona and Reference 116520

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona launched in 1963 as a chronograph built for motor racing, with a tachymeter bezel for reading average speed. Rolex named the model after the Daytona International Speedway in Florida, a center of American motorsport. Reference 116520 arrived around 2000 as the first Daytona to use Caliber 4130, the in-house chronograph movement Rolex developed to replace the earlier Zenith-based caliber. Rolex produced the 116520 with an engraved steel tachymeter bezel until 2016, when the 116500LN replaced it with a ceramic bezel. The 116520 Super Clone carries that combined heritage of the in-house Daytona chronograph onto the wrist.

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 116520 a 1:1 super clone?+

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 slate grey dial, the black sub-dials, and the engraved steel tachymeter bezel within tight tolerance. The price of $1,449 compares to a genuine market figure near $30,000.

How does the chronograph function work on this Daytona super clone?+

The chronograph on this Daytona 116520 super clone times elapsed events through the central seconds hand and two of the three sub-dials. The 30-minute counter sits at 3 o'clock and the 12-hour counter sits at 9 o'clock, while the small seconds runs continuously at 6 o'clock. Both screw-down pushers unscrew for chronograph use and lock down afterward to protect water resistance.

What is the slate grey dial on the 116520 super clone?+

The slate grey dial is a quiet, technical grey dial color paired with three black chronograph sub-dials on this 116520 super clone. The grey base frames the steel case with an understated tone, and the black sub-dials give the reverse-panda contrast collectors associate with this reference. This super clone reproduces the slate grey finish to match the genuine catalog variant.

How is the watch shipped internationally?+

The Rolex Daytona 116520 super clone ships via DHL Express or FedEx Priority with full insurance and tracked, signature-required delivery.

What movement powers this Daytona 116520 super clone?+

A Swiss-grade automatic chronograph 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 screw-down pushers. Performance matches the genuine caliber on frequency and autonomy, with a smooth sweeping seconds hand and a quiet winding rotor.

Does the 116520 super clone have a steel or ceramic bezel?+

The Daytona 116520 super clone has an engraved steel tachymeter bezel, not a ceramic bezel. Rolex produced the 116520 with a metal bezel and a 400-unit tachymeter scale from 2000 to 2016, and the ceramic bezel only arrived on the later 116500LN reference. This super clone uses a metal bezel with deeply engraved numerals to match the genuine 116520.

What is the price difference vs the authentic Rolex 116520?+

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 $1,449, which delivers 98% visual and functional parity at roughly 5% of the genuine market figure. Buyers receive the full steel Daytona chronograph wrist presence without the capital commitment.

What warranty is included with the 116520 super clone?+
