　　Having spanned 50 years of history, the Rolex Daytona still retains its classic design of yesteryear, staying true to Rolex's consistent style. Previously, the best version of the Daytona on the market was arguably the JF factory version, and now the AR factory Rolex Daytona has finally achieved a thickness consistent with the genuine piece. Today, I bring you the AR factoryRolex Daytona 116515 Brown Editionreview, enjoy watching.

　　The upgrades to the new AR factory Daytona brown edition are quite noticeable, with the upgrade details as follows:

　　1: The biggest highlight of this upgrade lies in the thickness. Compared with the previous old version, the upgraded model is at least 1.5 millimetre thinner than the old version. Never underestimate this figure; the texture and feel on the wrist are completely different.

　　2: The crystal is made of sapphire crystal, which offers better transparency and clarity. Compared with the old version, the whitish glare is no longer visible.

　　3: Regarding the triple-lock design of the clasp, the editor has carefully compared it with the genuine item. The resemblance in texture and feel to the genuine piece reaches over 98%, and closing the small crown produces a distinctly crisp sound.

　　4: The polishing and engraving on the outer bezel are smoother and more even than previous versions. If you don't believe it, you can compare it with the genuine piece.

　　5: The movement plate is not fooling watch enthusiasts; a true movement plate must achieve an infinite reproduction of the genuine item. If you do not believe it, you can see from the review images below that it features gold chatons, which are only found on original Rolex 4130 movements, and the pigeon-blood red colour of the jewels has a very rich texture.

　　The case diameter of 40mm paired with a rose gold-plated stainless steel case makes the overall appearance extremely exquisite. The overall colour is predominantly rose gold, paired with a black bezel, giving it a grand and magnificent look while instantly elevating the sense of nobility.

　　The hands are of appropriate length, with the hour and minute hands being thicker than the second hand, making time reading much easier. The texture goes without saying; the AR factory has put extra care into this release. The hour markers are also filled with luminous powder, and the luminescence effect is very good.

　　In order to pursue the stability of the movement, the AR factory has removed the cumulative timing functions for the minute and hour hands. It can be said that, apart from the left and right sub-dials being changed to decorative functions, everything else is the same as the genuine item.

　　The screw-down pushers truly add the finishing touch to the case. Adopting this design better prevents accidental pressing of the pushers while ensuring their excellent water-resistant performance.

　　The curve on the side of the case is both bright and full of lustre. As mentioned earlier, the major breakthrough in thickness is that it is 1.5mm thinner than the old version.

　　This Daytona watch features a solid case back design. Whether it is the polishing of the case back or the treatment of the edge teeth, everything is executed to a very high standard.

　　The deployant clasp also adopts the primary colour of rose gold, which, when paired with the black strap, appears even more luxurious.

　　Through the above review, we can conclude that while ensuring the dimensions and appearance are as consistent as possible with the genuine article, the AR factory has replicated a piece that is arguably very close to the genuineRolex Daytona brown dialmodel, hailed as a masterpiece. We believe this watch will definitely attract more glances for you, and those who appreciate it should not miss out.
