A new yellow gold Daytona, protected from day one
Brought in box-fresh and turned around quickly, so a new Daytona never had the chance to pick up its first mark.

- Coverage
- Full coverage
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona in 18 ct yellow gold with a white dial is a high point of the sports chronograph, and full-gold sports models mark easily. Having heard plenty of stories of brand-new watches scratched within weeks, our client brought theirs to us straight from the boutique.
They wanted proper protection without the watch being off their wrist for long.
The challenge
What made this watch demanding.
Soft precious metal
18 ct yellow gold is soft, so even handling during fitting has to be done with great care to avoid marks.
Chronograph details
The screw-down pushers, crown guards and polished bezel need exact coverage that leaves every function untouched.
A quick turnaround
The client wanted the watch back fast, without any compromise on a clean, bubble-free fit.
The solution
How we protected it.
Working from our templates for the current Daytona case, we fitted the film quickly and precisely across every polished surface, protecting the watch against everyday knocks and scuffs.
Surfaces covered
- Every polished Oyster link
- The case sides
- The yellow gold bezel
- The Oysterlock clasp
The results
Worn daily. Kept pristine.
The Daytona went back looking factory-fresh, with the film invisible to the naked eye. By protecting it straight after purchase, the client avoided the first scratch altogether, and the worry that comes with it.
Client feedback
“I’ve heard so many horror stories from friends who completely ruined the look of their luxury gold watches within weeks of buying them just from everyday desk diving and accidental knocks. I was determined not to let that happen to my [yellow gold] Daytona, so I took it straight to WristGuard London.
I was absolutely blown away by how quickly they completed the job - the turnaround time was incredibly fast without cutting a single corner. It was definitely worth the investment for the peace of mind alone. The watch looks pristine and factory-fresh, and now I can wear it anywhere with total confidence. Top marks to the team!”
