Has Rolex ever released the 116520LV Daytona watch? My search on Google returned only results indicating it is a replica, leading me to believe that Rolex never produced this model; it exists solely in the replica watch world, similar to the Daytona II and Sea-Dweller D-Green. It’s fascinating why watch factories create replicas of models that don’t exist in the genuine lineup. Regardless, their creativity is noteworthy.Returning to this Daytona replica rolex wacth, it is affectionately referred to as the green lizard due to its green ceramic bezel and green subdials on a white dial. This replica Rolex Daytona is produced by BL, a relatively small factory in the market, which has ventured into creating this model that remains unknown in the genuine watch sphere. Their creativity is commendable, and perhaps they’ll surprise us again in the future.

As for why the BL factory named this Daytona 116520LV, it likely references another Rolex model, the Submariner 116610LV, which also features a green ceramic bezel. This green Daytona has a 40mm case with a thickness of 15mm, crafted from 316L stainless steel instead of the more premium 904L stainless steel. I recently posted a review of this watch on my blog, but I haven’t sold any yet. If it receives a positive market response, it’s possible that BL will consider upgrading the case material to 904L. The case displays a brushed finish interspersed with polished areas, and the chronograph buttons must be unscrewed to operate. Unfortunately, the underside of the lugs lacks engravings, a feature that every genuine Rolex watch possesses, which is evident in the latest Daytona replica watches from Noob factory.

The dial is white, featuring three subdials with green circles and silver markers. The small dials function accurately, providing a small seconds hand at 6 o’clock, a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock, and a 12-hour chronograph counter at 9 o’clock. I believe this watch would be even more appealing with a fully green main dial and three silver subdials. Like other Daytona replicas, the 116520LV has luminous material applied to the hour markers, as well as the hour and minute hands.

The bracelet is constructed from 316L stainless steel and consists of three sections of links. The middle links are polished, contrasting with the brushed links on either side. With a small screwdriver, you can easily remove or install the links, much like you would with a genuine watch. Additionally, this replica is powered by an Asia clone 4130 movement, which is based on a Chinese chronograph movement.
