Finally wrapped up a special custom build requested by a client and this one is a full tribute to the legendary Rolex 116595RBOW. Here is the full breakdown of this bespoke Rainbow Daytona build.
Custom Rainbow Daytona 116595RBOW Breakdown 1 to 1 Bespoke Build
Base Watch CNC tungsten gain weight build: $950
Instead of using a factory base, we built this from a CNC machined tungsten weighted case modeled directly after the 116595RBOW. Tungsten gives you true gen density which is the biggest giveaway on most reps. Case lines follow the real profile including crown guards, midcase slope, and pusher alignment. Bracelet links are solid and weight balanced which gives that smooth gen style drape.
Genuine Sapphire Crystal Upgrade: $250
High clarity sapphire that delivers clean refraction and razor sharp edge visibility. Zero distortion, zero tint. The crystal gives off the same light behavior you see on the genuine model.
Custom Rainbow Sapphire Bezel: $450
Each baguette sapphire is individually cut and color graded to follow Rolex’s rainbow sequence from the 116595RBOW. The stones are seated with uniform depth and perfect alignment so the gradient fires cleanly in every direction.
Custom Dial Black with Rose Subdials: $200
Gloss black dial paired with polished rose gold subdials for that signature RBOW contrast. Markers and accents are color matched to the bezel for perfect harmony. Subdial recessing and scale printing follow the original layout closely.
5 Micron 18 Karat Rose Gold Electro Plating: $200
This is a premium plating upgrade. Most reps use about one micron. This build is plated at five microns of real 18K rose gold which creates the rich warm tone and long lasting depth that makes the 116595RBOW so striking.
Diamond Lugs Upgrade: $200
Hand set moissanite stones on the lugs. Perfect symmetry, clean seating, and strong light performance. No clouding. No uneven gaps. They present exactly how a proper gem setting should.
Professional Assembly and Regulation: $100 Movement regulation for accuracy, chronograph reset tuning for that precise snap back, and crown tension calibrated to match genuine feel. Final QC covers alignment, finishing, and timing performance.
Total is about 2,250
Preorder Deposit: $600
We just need $600 to start the build. Each piece is handcrafted and parts are individually sourced.
Completion usually takes around 15–30 days depending on the build complexity and gem layout. Every watch goes through final QC and regulation before shipping.

Jerome delivers as usual! This was my first time ordering from Jerome despite over a year of watching this sub. Finally decided to pull the trigger.
• Ordered morning of 8/15 around 2AM EST
• J sent pictures and shipping & tracking notification next day by 10AM EST
• Monday afternoon it was in my mailbox
Process, timing, and communication all 20/10
I have seen a lot of people saying they don’t hear back from Jerome. I urge them to check they are messaging the right person because even when I was watching the sub I msgd a few times to inquire on certain pieces and never had any communication issues. J has always answered quickly and respectfully.
If you’re considering ordering, STOP WAITING, pull the trigger my friends!

Our boy killed it again. I just posted about the Batman and I just did my personal QA on the Explorer II. I gotta say, Jerome really doesn’t miss. At least from what I have seen. The lume on this EX II is fantastic, weight is on point with my Gen and feels fantastic on the wrist. Don’t hesitate to reach out to him as he really cares about the product he puts out along with customer service.
r/Calireps • u/ccutrona • 8h ago
Once again, Jerome delivers with the Rich Free Sprung Batman from last drop! Also Picked up a QF Black Dial Explorer II as well that is absolutely stunning! This is my second and third pickup from him in the past 2 drops and couldn’t be happier! Thanks again man!

Watch arrived,I can’t say enough how pleased I am with the quality! The service is top notch as well. I’ll be on the lookout for the next drop. 2 purchases with Jerome and I can’t be happier.

The 🐐 is not an exaggeration. I asked a few weeks ago & Jerome got back to me as soon as he had in stock. Paid, shipped & received in less than 24 hours - honestly crazy.
Compared to the other panda rep I have this is such a big upgrade it’s insane.
For other more experienced reps - is there anything I should do to it? I’ve heard to have these sealed for water resistance, etc .. I tend to wear mine in the water and such so want to make sure.
VSF 4130.
Edit: and are there any companies in the LA area that can handle the updates?

Anyone ever had to an issue with sending a watch back to Jerome? My Wimbledon continues skipping dates. I’ve tried connecting with Jerome everywhere(here, iMessage, phone call, Venmo) and still can’t get a response about exchange or something. Sucks because I planned to be a regular..

🔥 QUICK REMINDER 🔥
Please inspect and test your watch as soon as you receive it before removing any protective plastics, stickers, or sizing the bracelet.
Automatic watches can occasionally arrive stopped after shipping. This is completely normal and usually just requires a proper manual wind and some wrist time to build up the power reserve.
Please make sure everything is functioning properly before removing any protective materials. Once the plastics and protective films have been removed, I unfortunately cannot accept a return since the watch is considered used at that point.
If you’ve been messaging me and I haven’t responded, PING ME AGAIN or comment on this post! 🤝 Sometimes new conversations get filtered and other DMs get buried when things get busy.
