The green dial in yellow gold, and how we go about finding one.
The 126508 is the yellow gold Cosmograph Daytona on the Oyster bracelet: the current generation, introduced in 2023 with calibre 4131. Rolex lists it with several dials. The bright green lacquer dial with golden counters is the one most clients ask for, the successor to the green-dial 116508 that collectors associate with John Mayer.
At retail the reference sits on a list with no published timing. We work the other way round. Tell us the dial and whether the year matters, and we go to our network to find a watch that fits the brief. Availability and timing are confirmed for each request before you commit to anything.
When we propose a watch, its condition, documents and what accompanies it are set out in writing for that individual piece. You decide with the details in front of you, and settle by bank transfer in any major currency or in crypto.

Sourced to your brief, itemised before you decide
Nothing on this page is stock. Tell us what matters and we find the watch that fits.
The brief
Dial, and whether a particular year, a full set or an unworn example matters. An exact configuration is welcome; "the green one" is enough to begin.
Availability and timing
Confirmed for each request from our network, before you commit to anything. We tell you what is realistic rather than what you would like to hear.
What accompanies the watch
Box, warranty card, booklets, tags and spare links are itemised for the individual watch we propose.
Condition and documents
Condition, originality, service history and any verification arrangements are set out for the individual piece. Tell us which checks are essential to you.
Four steps, no pressure

Brief
Send the reference by WhatsApp or the form, with the dial, set and timing that matter to you. A collection or a style is enough to begin.

Source

-
Verify
Condition, documents and what accompanies the watch are set out in writing for the individual piece we propose. You decide with the details in front of you.
-
Settle and deliver

Frequently asked questions
Can you source a Daytona 126508 without the waiting list?
Yes, that is what we do. We go to our network rather than a boutique list. Availability and timing are confirmed for each request before you commit to anything.
How long does it take to source one?
It depends on the dial and how specific the brief is. We tell you what is realistic at the start rather than quote a number we cannot keep.
What is the difference between the 126508 and the 116508?
The 116508 is the previous generation, made from 2016 to 2023 with calibre 4130. The 126508 replaced it in 2023 with calibre 4131 and a lightly redrawn case and dial. Both are yellow gold on the Oyster bracelet; the green dial exists in both.
Will it come with box and papers?
Tell us if a full set matters. What accompanies the watch is confirmed for the individual piece we propose, and itemised in writing before you decide.
How do you verify the watch?
Condition, originality, service history and documents are set out for the individual watch. Tell us which checks are essential to you and we show you what we have before you commit.
Can I pay in crypto?
Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto; major coins and stablecoins are accepted. The coin, network and amount are confirmed with you before any transfer.
Tell us the watch you have in mind
An exact reference or an idea is enough to start the conversation. We will take care of the search and discuss the options with you.
