New Daytona RG variant or...??

Check the attachment, have you ever seen cerachrom RG daytona like that? I can't find any reference on it.

If not then two possibilities, either it's fake or it's modified. What's your take?

PS: This picture was sent to me from a friend, I share this picture for fellow TRF members ONLY. Please DO NOT save or distribute the picture anywhere else outside TRF. thank you.

I have never seen or heard of it but very possible as that is what they did to the Platinum Daytona dial...

Never seen a watch in this combination before.

It might be a dial from a YG daytona fitted on a RG.

My friend just told me the picture is from a dealer he knows, the watch is brand new (check the lower lugs, looks like protective stickers).

On a side note, how can we check the newest rolex combinations / variants ? They don't always publish their newest creations on their website.

Itīs neither a fake nor modified. The photo just makes it look a little like YG.

Itīs a standard dial available in the current AD dial catalogue for both 116505 or 116515 as pictured. The name of the dial is pink 11 baguette-cut diamonds.

The dial is genuine. Rolex has been introducing some new dials without any formal announcement.
