This is a custom 116509 Daytona – the “Digital Panda” version (white dial with black numeral hour markers and dark red accents). Let’s break down the build:
Movement: Dandong 4130 – the reliable workhorse, full chronograph function. Solid.
Dial: Frosted/matte particle dial – the sub‑dial texture is clear, and the numerals match the original. That’s a nice touch.
Hands: Dark red chrono hand and sub‑dial hand – gives it that sporty race feel. Solid axles, clean edges.
Bezel: DLC coated ceramic – no fading over time. Good for long‑term wear.
Crystal: High‑clarity sapphire – clear and scratch‑resistant.
Case & Clasp: Both have been re‑finished – case gets a mirror polish, clasp has distinct brushed and polished areas.
Gold Wrap: The whole watch is wrapped in 18K yellow gold (original color) – that transforms a steel Daytona into a full‑gold look. Weight and feel will be improved, though it’s not solid gold.
Bottom line: This is a smart build – you get the rare “Digital Panda” look (white dial, black numerals, red hands) combined with a full‑gold wrap. The movement is reliable, the finishing is careful, and the DLC bezel won’t fade. Perfect for someone who wants a unique, eye‑catching Daytona that blends digital‑style numerals with a gold presence. Not solid gold, but with the wrap, it’ll look the part.
