Interesting the cover photo changes from 116508 to newer version when clicked into post…
I own the 116508 and love how the deep, emerald green looks with red rings around the sub dials.
Sometimes it looks black and when light hits, it lit up.
Green is the color of the brand and Daytona models are iconic, so I love it not for the nick name but for the combination of festive colors and the dial.
Yes, this watch certainly became famous after the JM video. It was previously sitting on display and no one asked for it, according to my AD.
I think the dial of “hulk” is the same emerald green.

The John Mayer Daytona — Ref 116508 Green Dial
The yellow gold Daytona with the green dial. Most people call it the John Mayer Daytona. John Mayer wore his 116508 quite a bit and talked about it in interviews and on social media. The combination of yellow gold and that green sunburst dial was pretty b...

What an amazing set of pictures vs my stock photo. Thanks for sharing. Bill
I prefer to call it the green dial Daytona.
John Mayer has a history of being so thirsty to have a watch named after him all-a Paul Newman whose Daytonas are affectionately named after. That being said one cannot deny the John Mayer had a major influence on the second hand prices of the watch. All ...
I love the color combo a lot .
I was offered one before JM did his thing with the watch on Social Media. I didn’t get it although I like it because my focus was more one the smaller independent pieces. I like the more understated watches that are somewhat different and overlooked but o...
My friend has the 126508, or the 'Mayer 2' as Hodinkee calls it...
...and I prefer it to this one. I like the contrast on the dial with the lighter subdials. The dial changes to almost black in the proper light. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/hands-on-rolex-daytona-john-mayer
Hello dear Bill! I was lucky to get one of these watches…
… well before John Mayer video started the high popularity of this model and provoked a steep raise of its price. (As a matter of fact I bought mine at retail price!) Agree with your thoughts and that it is interesting to observe how a well known person p...
Green Rolex
As beautiful as it is overexposed. Years ago a dealer told me that in seven years of production he had received almost exclusively examples in the green dial configuration, and that says a lot. Just take a look at the well-known platform Chrono24: roughly...
