Rolex worn by actor Takuya Kimura
"Daytona"
"Ref.116506"

The first person I would like to introduce is the actor Kimura Takuya . Currently, the drama "10 Counts to the Future" in which he plays the lead role has started airing, and his role is a hot topic. Kimura Takuya's Instagram posts behind-the-scenes photos and off-shots from the drama, which always entertain his fans.

The watch worn by Takuya Kimura is the "Daytona" Ref. 116506, which features a PT (platinum) ice blue dial.

Featuring a chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel and a striking refreshing ice blue color scheme, this model was released in 2013, the 50th anniversary of the birth of the Daytona, and has enjoyed overwhelming popularity to this day.

Speaking of ice blue, it is already synonymous with Kimura Takuya, and many people may think of him. This model, worthy of being called the King of Rolex, is perfect for Kimura Takuya.

Worn by Kamaitachi's Ryuichi Hamaie

"Daytona" Black Dial SS
"Ref.116500LN"

The second person we would like to introduce is Hamaie Ryuichi of the comedy duo Kamaitachi, who has been gaining popularity at an unstoppable rate since winning "King of Conte 2017."

He graduated from the morning information program "ZIP!" at the end of March, and became such a popular comedian that people were inundated with comments expressing their regret. He now has an immeasurable number of regular programs.

The watch worn by Kamaitachi's Hamada is the current Rolex Daytona with a black dial, Ref. 116500LN.

The current Daytona has a Cerachrom bezel instead of stainless steel, giving it a more rugged look. This model is a perfect fusion of Rolex's cutting-edge technology and sophisticated design, and is highly regarded as one of their best ever models.

The market has been on a downward trend recently, but prices are beginning to recover due to the weak yen. If you are thinking of buying one, now is the time to do so! It is no exaggeration to say that this can be said for all high-priced models.

Rolex worn by actor Shun Oguri
"Daytona"
"Ref.116515LN"

The third person we would like to introduce is " " Oguri Shun ".

Set in the Battle of Dannoura, which decided the Genpei War, the performances of Shun Oguri, who plays the main character Hojo Yoshitoki, and Masaki Suda, who plays his co-star Minamoto no Yoshitsune, are so fascinating. We're curious to see how the story develops, but let's just enjoy it.

Shun Oguri, one of the most talented actors, has recently been seen wearing the Rolex Daytona Ref. 116515LN with a chocolate Arabic dial.

The bezel is made of scratch-resistant Cerachrom, and it is equipped with the self-developed and manufactured automatic movement "Cal. 4130" that has been continuously used since 2000. The case is made of 18KERG (Everose gold), making it a luxurious model.

The Daytona is a sports model, but also looks like a dress watch, and is elegant and stylish. It suits Oguri-san very well. The Everose Gold, which is elegant among solid gold materials, is a watch that I have always wanted!

Worn by artist Tomoya Nagase
[Rolex]
"Daytona"
"Ref.6263"

The fourth person we'd like to introduce is former TOKIO member Nagase Tomoya , who lives a lifestyle that men envy, posting pictures of himself riding motorcycles and skateboarding on his Instagram.

What I discovered on Tomoya Nagase's Instagram was the "Daytona" Paul Newman dial "Ref. 6263". It is one of the rarest hand-wound "Daytona" pieces. The above image has the caption "# (hashtag) Not mine", but it is well known that he also owns it.

This is an extremely rare model, called the "Paul Newman Dial" because it was a favorite of Paul Newman, and continues to attract collectors around the world. As with the normal dial model, the third generation Paul Newman dial model with an Oyster case is said to be the most in demand and has the highest market price. The third generation Paul Newman dial, which was put up for auction at Christie's in 2013, was sold for over 100 million yen, which is said to be the reason for the popularity of the Daytona today.

After leaving Johnny's Entertainment, he calls himself an "expresser" on his Instagram and is doing what he wants to do. His lifestyle and aura make him seem like someone who looks so good in a vintage Rolex.

Seeing Udanji talk so innocently about watches made me realize the charm of watches once again. And Udanji's powerful comment, "Tigers are so cool!" is a must-see (laughs). I look forward to seeing you again on Commit TV! Please look forward to it!
