BL Factory Replica Rolex Daytona 116520LV – Green Lizard In The Rain Forest
Has Rolex ever released the Daytona watch model 116520LV? I conducted a Google search and found that all result pages claim it to be a replica. Therefore, I believe that Rolex has not actually produced this particular Daytona model, and it only exists in the realm of replica watches. Similar to the Daytona II and Sea-Dweller D-Green, which are also replicas, it is puzzling why watch factories create these imitation timepieces when the authentic versions do not exist. Nevertheless, these factories exhibit great imagination. Now, let’s focus on this replica Daytona watch, which is commonly referred to as the “green lizard” due to its green ceramic bezel and green subdials on a white dial. This replica Rolex Daytona is manufactured by BL, a relatively small factory in our market. It is worth noting that this particular fake watches is not recognized in the genuine watch industry, showcasing the creativity of BL. Perhaps in the future, they will surprise us with yet another unexpected creation.
Why did the BL factory decide to name this specific Daytona model the 116520LV? It seems they may have taken inspiration from another Rolex, the Submariner 116610LV, which also boasts a green ceramic bezel. The green Daytona features a 40mm case with a thickness of 15mm, made from 316L stainless steel rather than the higher-grade 904L stainless steel. I recently published a review of replica watches on my blog, but I haven’t made any sales yet. However, if the market reacts favorably to this watch, there’s a chance that the BL factory might consider upgrading the case material to 904L stainless steel. Upon reviewing the photos, you can see that the case showcases a mix of brushed and polished finishes. The chronograph buttons can only be activated after unscrewing them. Unfortunately, unlike genuine Rolex watches, this replica lacks engravings on the underside of the lugs. However, it’s important to mention that the latest Daytona replica watches from the Noob factory now include this detail, making them some of the best replica watches UK has to offer.
The dial of the watch is white, featuring three white subdials adorned with green circles and silver-white markers. These three small dials function accurately, with the small seconds hand positioned at 6 o’clock, the 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock, and the 12-hour chronograph counter at 9 o’clock. In my opinion, the watch would become even more popular if it had a fully green main dial with three silver subdials. Similar to other Daytona replica watches, this 116520LV model also incorporates luminous material on the hour markers, as well as the hour and minute hands.
The bracelet of the watch is crafted from 316L stainless steel and features three sections of links. The middle links have a polished finish, creating a contrast with the brushed links on both sides. It is worth noting that you can easily remove or install the links yourself using a small screwdriver, just as you would with a genuine watch. Additionally, the replica watch is equipped with an Asia clone 4130 movement, which is derived from a Chinese working chronograph movement.
