One of the hottest and most sought-after releases in recent years was the reference 116500 Daytona in stainless steel with black Cerachrom bezel. With the exception of its bezel, the new Daytona 116500 was virtually identical to almost any other modern, stainless steel Daytona. However, the aesthetic impact of the black Cerachrom bezel is significant, and the presence of a solid black ring around the face of the watch completely changes the overall appearance of the new ref. 116500 Daytona.Additionally, the new black Cerachrom bezel is more than a little reminiscent of the black acrylic bezels that were fitted to several vintage Daytona chronograph references manufactured during the 1960s and 1970s, such as the reference 6241 and the reference 6263. Although the two materials are significantly different in a multitude of different ways, the black Cerachrom bezel on the new 116500 Daytona is very much the contemporary equivalent of the black acrylic bezel that can be found on a number of highly-desirable, vintage Rolex Daytona references.For the most part, Rolex only moves forward with their designs as they continuously work to refine and improve their watches. However, they have been known to occasionally borrow small design elements from some of their early watches, and implement them into the latest incarnations of their ever-evolving timepieces. Sometimes these design elements get re-imagined or modernized to reflect advancements and improvements in available materials and technologies (like the Cerachrom bezel on the Daytona). Other times, like in the instance of the 24-hour hand on the new Explorer II, these vintage-inspired, design traits get pulled right off a page from a 1970s Rolex catalog and get placed on a watch currently in production. The benefits of owning a diamond watch are clear. They’re elegant, timeless, and makes a bold impression. But how much will one set you back, exactly? That number can vary drastically, depending on the model of the watch, the shape and size of the diamonds, and the quantity used. For example, the premium for a round-cut diamond dial on the Daytona is roughly $2k more than the standard model, and the premium for a diamond dial topped with baguette-cut gems is more than three times that amount.If you’re in the market for a Datejust 36 with a diamond-set bezel, that will set you back about $7k over the standard model. Even more extraordinary is the diamond-paved dial on the iced-out Rolex Yacht-Master 40 ref. 126655 in Everose, which commands $20k over the standard Yacht-Master price. Depending on your preference, adding a diamond Rolex to your collection can either be relatively affordable or will require a serious, top-tier investment.Another interesting fact to consider when looking for a diamond Rolex for sale is that they will almost immediately depreciate in value once they hit the secondary market, although they will almost always be worth more than a non-diamond version of the same watch. If you’re shopping for a watch on the pre-owned Rolex market, then a diamond watch is a very attractive option to consider.You might find it surprising to learn that compared to the total number of Rolex watches produced, a small number were actually factory-set with diamonds. The rest are custom/aftermarket and vary significantly from the timepieces produced entirely by Rolex.For starters, Rolex has access to the highest quality diamonds and employs some of the industry’s most skilled gem setters. An aftermarket diamond Rolex rarely comes close to the same level of quality as an original diamond-set Rolex, both in regards to the diamond itself and the quality of its setting. An original factory-set diamond Rolex is rare and will also hold its value better than one with custom-set diamonds. In fact, many aftermarket watches are actually worth much less than they were before the diamonds were added, both because the diamonds are considered by many as a non-genuine component and because they can often cause functional issues for the watch. Rolex will even go as far as to require that the custom components be replaced with their factory-intended counterparts before they will agree to service the watch.Overall, diamond watches are a smartwatch to purchase, if you know where to look. In addition to the size and clarity of diamonds, how they are cut and set into the watches plays a huge role in bringing out their natural beauty. Therefore, its important to only buy genuine factory-set diamond Rolex watches, as these will use only the highest quality diamonds and other gemstones. A genuine example on the secondary market is a pretty sound investment and can add significant value to your watch box without the initial top-tier price tag. But as so often happens, any objections were short-lived. Fairly soon after its arrival, the LV (standing for Lunette Verte, or green bezel) started attracting much more of the right kind of attention, with devotees learning to appreciate the eccentricities. It also had the definite whiff of a future classic, something that set collectors with one eye on future monetary gains to gravitate towards it.As it turned out, they were right. Just seven years after its introduction, the Kermit was withdrawn to make way for the ref. 116610LV. Now housed in the beefed-up Super Case, this new piece added a green dial to match the bezel, leading to it being known colloquially as the Hulk.A short run of an unusual edition of a true industry giant has seen prices for the Kermit far outstrip the equivalent classic black models, and should be set to only get higher with time. Definitely one to consider.This one is a real puzzler. There hasn’t been a black and red bezel GMT-Master (much better known as the ‘Coke’) since 2007. That was when the last reference to offer the option, the ref. 16710, was scrubbed from the lineup. This means that there has never been a Cerachrom example of this archetypal and hugely popular Rolex color scheme, which we originally saw debut on the very first of the GMT-Master II references way back in 1983, the ref. 16760 (nicknamed the ‘Fat Lady’).The red and black had enough of a distinction from the blue and red bezel pieces to warrant its place, and as we all know, the ‘Pepsi’ has been (and still is) a massive seller for the brand. The green-tinted sapphire crystal fitted to the reference 116400GV Milgauss has quickly become one of the defining characteristics of Rolex’s anti-magnetic line of watches. The Rolex Milgauss was first introduced in 1956; however, it was not until 2007 that it received its now-signature, green sapphire crystal – an exclusive feature that was originally introduced as a way for Rolex to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their Milgauss line.No other watch in Rolex’s current catalog is fitted with a green-tinted (or any other color) sapphire crystal. However, at the present time, all Milgauss watches that are currently in production leave the factory with green sapphire crystals. Rather than simply being a layer or coating, the light green tint is present throughout the entire material of the crystal, and will not fade or discolor after prolonged wear and use.Rolex claims that it took them many years of research and development to master and perfect the secret procedure of manufacturing their green-tinted sapphire crystals and that the actual process of producing the crystals takes multiple weeks. What is most interesting is that despite a usual eagerness to patent their various in-house technologies, Rolex claims that the green sapphire crystal in the Milgauss is “not patented, as it is so difficult to make that no one else would even venture to try.”Rolex will never reveal their exact formulas and secrets about how they manufacture the green-tinted sapphire crystals fitted to the Milgauss; however, we do know some general information about green-colored synthetic sapphire and the production of sapphire watch crystals as a whole.There are a number of different ways to produce synthetic sapphire, all of which fall into the following general methods of production: melt growth, solution growth, and high-temperature/high-pressure growth. It is hypothesized that Rolex uses a hydrothermal method of production for its synthetic sapphire crystals, which is slow, expensive, and uses heat and pressure to imitate the conditions present deep inside the earth that is responsible for the production of naturally-occurring crystalline gemstones.
