It goes well with the khaki rubber strap, and the highly fashionable design is simply cool!! Once again, thank you very much! We hope you will continue to patronize the new Commit Ginza.

Worn by MS
Rolex Daytona [Ref.116523][Ref.116523]
The watch that MS purchased was the Rolex Daytona Ref. 116523, a Rolesor model with a cream dial that has changed over time.
This model, which was released in 2000 and is equipped with the completely in-house manufactured chronograph movement "Cal. 4130," inherits the design of the previous model "Ref. 16523," but has been brushed up in details such as a change in the layout of the sub-dials due to the change in the movement and larger indexes.
COMMENTS
Thank you MS for your purchase! The watch you chose is a cream Daytona with a great atmosphere, with a white dial that has changed to a strong ivory tone over time! I'm sure that the spicy Rolesor will add a touch of glamour to your wrist in the coming season, and you'll look great even with just a T-shirt! Once again, thank you very much!

Worn by a mad scientist
Rolex Daytona [Ref.116520][Ref.116520]
The watch that the mad scientist purchased was the Rolex Daytona Ref. 116520, which is equipped with a rich cream dial.
The so-called "Cream Daytona" model, which is available in the P, K, Y, and F numbers, is a model that has risen in popularity in recent years. It is said that the color of the dial changes to cream because a coloring agent that changes color over time is used to color the dial when it is made.
