Question about 116519

[MrCaliber]

Hello all,

This is my first post. I've been creeping for a while now reading and using TRF as a Rolex encyclopedia or reference guide.

My questions 1. 116519 2008 does this year have the Rolex engraving on the inside of the bezel like the current model has ? 2. How much is a new black authentic croco strap sell for and any suggestions on how/where to buy one for a "deal" the strap not watch

Cheers,

The 116519 Daytona is the "current model"... Rolex does not make a watch by model year.. The Gold Daytona likely got the engraved rehaut during the F release about 2005 or so...

The Croc strap for a Daytona is north of 500 bucks.. Your Dealer would be able to order one.. they do not include the endlink or the clasp - you are expected to reuse the originals..

For your strap you can also find aftermarket. Or maybe someone on TRF has one for sale less than what Rolex is asking.

As for model years, no such thing with Rolex. There are approximates and having engraving would be in the 2005-2006 area. I have a Z serial no engraving but someone else can have a Z or M with engraving.
