Hello!
This is Kaneko from Commit Ginza!
Today we have the photo comparison series that everyone loves!!
Yes! Here are two current Daytona "Ref. 116500LN" with black dials.
The one on the left is stamped in 2020, and the one on the right is stamped in 2017.
At first glance, it looks exactly the same as the current Daytona with a black dial, but if you look closely you can see the differences.
Please take a look!
The color of the sub-dials on the watch on the left (marked 2020) and the watch on the right (marked 2017) are different.
It's hard to tell from this photo. How about this one?
.... It may be hard to tell from the photo, but...
There are definitely differences between the one on the left (stamped 2020) and the one on the right (stamped 2017).
In terms of color, the one on the left is a strong silver with a slight bluish tint, while the one on the right is a light silver with a slight brownish tint.
The top is the strong silver from 2020 and the bottom is the light silver from 2017.
It's easier to understand when you compare them like this.
It's very hard to tell the difference when you look at it by itself, so I tried to find out if there were any other differences...
I discovered the distinguishing feature (lol)
Let's start by looking at the five-line logo at the 12 o'clock position.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the font of the Rolex logo is thinner on the bottom (2017 mark) than on the top (2020 mark). However, this point is difficult to distinguish even when viewed alone.
Next is the Daytona logo.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the Daytona logo on the bottom (marked with 2017) is slightly raised from the subdial compared to the top (marked with 2020).
It's just a little bit, though.
Also, the font of the “6” in the “60” subdial scale is different.
Lastly, there is the “SWISS MADE” logo at the 6 o’clock position.
Compared to the top (2020 stamp), the bottom (2017 stamp) has serifs (fluttering ornaments) in the typeface.
What do you think? Isn't this point easy to understand?
Let's see here lol
However, this is only based on the individual units compared this time, so it may not be the case.
Please use this as a reference. If you have any information, please let us know!
By the way, the left (2020) and right (2019) are stronger silver.
The center is a light silver stamp for 2017.
This is just my memory, but the first one that came out in 2016 was a strong silver color.
It seems like the ones from 2017 to 2018 were mostly light silver...
Sorry, this is a bit vague.
It seems that the ones manufactured after 2019 tend to have a stronger silver color.
Please use this as a reference. Currently, Commit has two current Daytonas that we are introducing today.
