This Rolex Daytona 116508 John Mayer replica (m116508-0013) puts a green dial inside a 40mm yellow gold plated case on an Oyster bracelet. Green dials have become one of the most requested color configurations across all Rolex collections, and the 116508 reference delivers that color in full gold. The sunburst finish on the dial shifts between forest green and lighter tones depending on angle and lighting, giving the watch a presence that changes throughout the day.

Design & Finishing

Green and gold is a combination Rolex reserves for its bolder catalog entries. The 116508 green dial sits in a different visual category from the more common black, white, or champagne options. The subdial registers are finished in the same green as the dial and maintain readability against it, while the gold batons and hands carry the case colour onto the face. The tachymeter scale on the bezel provides the functional chronograph framing. Compare this against the 126515LN on Oysterflex to see how strap choice alters the personality of a precious metal Daytona.

On the Wrist

A yellow gold Cosmograph with a green dial does not blend into a rotation. It draws attention in a way that monochromatic Daytonas intentionally avoid. You get the same 40mm case and chronograph functionality, but wrapped in a color palette that stands separate from the rest of the lineup. This replica Daytona m116508 is built for anyone who views the Cosmograph as a statement piece rather than a daily tool, and as a green dial Daytona copy it follows the earlier 116508 case, not the 2023 126508.

Rolex Daytona 116508 John Mayer Replica FAQ

Why is the green Daytona 116508 called the John Mayer?

The nickname comes from John Mayer, the musician and well-known Rolex collector, who was seen wearing the yellow gold 116508 with the green dial. Rolex never used the name; dealers and collectors adopted it, and it now identifies the -0013 reference in listings.

How much does a Rolex Daytona 116508 John Mayer super clone cost?

The super clone is $1,159 and runs a clone Cal. 4130 with a 72-hour power reserve, while the A-grade at $379 uses a Japanese automatic movement. Both keep the green sunburst dial and gold Oyster bracelet; the movement is the difference, and our Daytona clone factory notes describe the column-wheel and vertical-clutch build of the clone calibre.
