The History Of The CA AAA Fake Rolex Air-King, The Understated Pilot’s Watches

The Air-King is an interesting model within Rolex’s historic portfolio (known as an evergreen if it’s still in production), sometimes dismissed as too entry-level (well, back in the day). The sentiment is somewhat understandable but also misplaced, even if the Air-King sits among the most affordable models on the preowned market today. The perfect Rolex replica watches goes back to the end of World War II with origins that are downright cool, debuting in 1945 to honour British pilots. It’s not a traditional pilot’s watch per se and was more of a tribute, but has evolved into a special series in today’s lineup. It’s also among the oldest of all Rolex models, beating the Explorer, Submariner, GMT-Master, Day-Date and more to the punch. That said, the legendary Datejust also debuted in 1945. Continuing our series of articles about historical Rolex models, we now look at the underappreciated Rolex Air-King.

British Royal Air Force

The Air-King was actually part of a broader series of four “Air” models to honour the British Royal Air Force (RAF) with the other three being the Air-Lion, Air-Tiger and Air-Giant. All were similar and the latter three came first (starting in the 1930s) and have long since vanished, leaving the Air-King as the proverbial king of the mountain. Original Air-Kings shared a lot of DNA with early pieces like the Milgauss and Oyster Perpetual, and sometimes they were literally the same watch with some dial variances. Early Air-Kings looked very different from the familiar, simple aesthetic that ran for decades, but like a lot of the crown’s models, experimentation was just par for the course until things were dialled in.

The Air-King Reference 4925, The Hand-Wound Era (1945 – 1953)

This initial 1:1 CA Rolex Air-King fake watches again looked very different from typical models from ref. 5500 (1957 – 1989) and could be mistaken for another model entirely without Air-King being printed on the dial. However, the DNA was there from the start with a 34mm stainless steel (Bubbleback) Oyster case, screw-down crown, respectable (for the time) 50 metres of water resistance and drilled lugs. The dial was an eggshell colour with shallow applied Arabic numerals (gold colour) in an avant-garde font. The Rolex crown was printed under 12 o’clock with ROLEX underneath and OYSTER AIR-KING under that. And that was all there was to it, other than a simple track of matching applied dots spanning the perimeter. Later 4925 models had SWISS MADE printed at the very bottom, but it seems early 1945 dials may have skipped this. Matching (colour) leaf hour and minute hands were used under an acrylic crystal with a blued seconds hand, offering reasonable legibility in a simple, straightforward package. Not quite a pilot’s watch, but again one to honour RAF pilots who flew during the war.

Although the Oyster Perpetual debuted in 1931 with the pairing of the Oyster case and automatic calibre 620 (the Oyster Perpetual name might’ve waited until 1932), the Air-King started life with a more modest hand-wound Hunter movement from Aegler, calibre 10.5. It had 15 jewels and beat at a standard (for the time) 18,000vph or 2.5Hz, and was not a chronometer or even finely adjusted. Despite not having a rotor, the case was a shared Bubbleback design to accommodate automatic counterparts, again why some other Rolex models are identical save for the dial. It was a reliable, perfectly adequate and affordable workhorse, but was upgraded a year later with ref. 4499 that actually ran alongside ref. 4925 until both were discontinued in 1953. It should be noted that Rolex automatics prior to calibre 1030 in 1950 were based on Hunter movements with added modules for the rotor. So, the thicker calibres that resulted again needed the Bubbleback case and Rolex wasn’t going to design a new one just for the Air-King.

The Air-King Reference 4365 (1945 – 1953)

This reference and ref. 4925 basically ran together from start to finish, but the differences between the two were surprisingly stark. For starters, ref. 4365 had a large small seconds sub-dial in lieu of central hands, so they used different hand-wound movements (although both based on calibre 10.5). The reasoning is that it was also made as Air-Lion and Air-Giant models, so the differentiation makes sense. It shares dial features with both ref. 4925 and the upcoming ref. 4499, starting with the flat applied indices of ref. 4925 but a more contemporary printed outer track that’s continued on ref. 4499. PRECISION is now printed on the dial like ref. 4499, but tightly wedged between the top of the sub-dial and central hands. It indicates a slightly improved variant of calibre 10.5 that most likely went to 17 jewels from 15 (also seen with ref. 4499 with its updated calibre 10.5, but with a central seconds hand). The leaf hands were also narrower than ref. 4925, just like ref. 4499, along with the addition of SWISS MADE at the bottom of all dials.

The Air-King Reference 4499 (1946-1953)

This is arguably the next actual cheap CA Rolex Air-King copy watches after ref. 4925 as ref. 4365 was shared across multiple Air models. It wasn’t a big change from the original piece, but there are several notable differences. The applied indices had the same font, but were narrower, taller and black instead of gold. The more detailed and conventional printed minute/seconds track from ref. 4365 returned along with PRECISION, now printed comfortably above 6 o’clock without obstacles. SWISS MADE again appeared at the bottom of the dial, which would be a permanent fixture moving forward. The same (or very similar) leaf hands from ref. 4365 are also here in black and combined with the darker, more pronounced indices, legibility significantly improved. This reference represented a maturity of the Air-King with better dial elements and an updated calibre 10.5 with 17 jewels and all central hands.

Remember when I said that Air-Kings were sometimes identical to other Rolex models save for dial print? Well, some models early on actually shared the reference number 4499 as well. It’s a bit hard to believe today, but in the early and mid-20th century, Rolex was disorganized when it came to cataloguing specific models, variances within references, exact calibre numbers and so on. It’s today’s collectors that tend to clarify details and fill in the gaps.

The Air-King Reference 6552 (1953 – 1957)

This was the first real leap for the high quality replica Rolex Air-King watches with significant changes to the dial and movement. The dial layout doesn’t exactly represent what the Air-King would become, having polished and faceted “spear” indices and Explorer(ish) Arabic numerals at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock (although the latter does make a triumphant return). However, later 6552 dials would get the more classic stick indices that represented the future of the model. This is what it looks like when Rolex throws everything at the wall early on to see what sticks. Alpha hour and minute hands replaced their leaf counterparts and had radium lume inserts for the first time. PRECISION was replaced by SUPER PRECISION to indicate the new and improved automatic movement. The Rolex crown and ROLEX itself were now applied and Air-King was printed in the classic script for the first time (and not in all caps). What hadn’t changed were the 34mm case, acrylic crystal, drilled lugs and water resistance. The outer minute/seconds track also gained additional marks with a pattern of long and short for better timing. And finally, this was the first Air-King to start using the 3-link Oyster bracelet from the factory.

Calibre 1030 and the Dawn of In-House Production

The biggest change was under the hood with calibre 1030, transforming the Air-King into an Oyster Perpetual model. It still had a 2.5Hz beat rate, but also 25 jewels, better accuracy and it never toyed with the small seconds layout. This was the brand’s first fully realized in-house movement (launched in 1950) with a “butterfly” bi-directional rotor for better efficiency and an optional chronometer rating, and was also used in early Explorers and (no-date) Submariners. Prior Rolex automatics again used base Hunter movements with an added module for the rotor. Ref. 6552 was clearly not taking a back seat to other models with its new in-house Oyster Perpetual powers, establishing itself as a simple yet high-end luxury Rolex fake watches that leaned to the dressy side without pretending to have sporty intentions.

The Air-King Reference 6652… Well Dude, We Just Don’t Know

This is supposedly a transitional Air-King with calibre 1030 leading up to ref. 5500, but there’s not a lot to go on. Many connoisseurs insist that it never actually existed, while others maintain it’s the product of Rolex’s early sloppiness with cataloging. Whether or not ref. 6652 is a bona fide Air-King or another model entirely isn’t exactly clear, but it’s often been intertwined with ref. 6552 and might even be the same model with the “wrong” reference number. That’s if it really exists at all. Just a little more Rolex lore (and forgive the Big Lebowski reference).

The Air-King Reference 5500, The Modern Air-King is Born (1957 – 1989)

This is the longest-running Air-King reference and represents the aesthetic that most Rolex collectors and enthusiasts think of. There were tweaks and updates during its 32-year run, but the general formula was now clearly established. The first modern Air-King was born, but it would continue to evolve into the 21st century with major changes. It remained smaller than the norm at 34mm in diameter when models like the Explorer and Datejust were 36mm. And talking about the Explorer, from 1958 to around 1967, there was a 5500 Explorer in this 34mm case (Explorers were otherwise 36mm). A typical Rolex experiment that resulted in an Air-King/Explorer hybrid that tried to leverage the best of both models in an affordable package – these were not certified chronometers like the certified Explorers 6610 or 1016 at the time. Like the Swiss made replica Rolex Air-King watches, they had PRECISION on the dial instead of SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED. Collectors dig them today and they’re among the hardest to find. However, many consider them Explorers instead of Air-Kings altogether and I tend to agree.

As a long running reference, variances are all over the map, starting with “Pre-Precision” models. Depending on the market, ref. 5500 models had either calibre 1520 or 1530 with the latter often having SUPER PRECISION on the dial over the 1520’s PRECISION. This was inconsistent, however, and some models had PRECISION or SUPER PRECISION regardless of movement, while a handful of early models had nothing at all, hence the “Pre-Precision” moniker. These are very rare today and prized by collectors. In addition to the scattershot nature of the day, service and repairs (and potential minor upgrades) resulted in inconsistencies with dial designations, movements and so on as well. Then there are rarities like the “double red” dials with top China Rolex Air-King super clone watches and SUPER PRECISION printed in red.

Overall, the general formula was here and the 5500 Air-King was a simple and affordable piece that offered the full Rolex experience without bells and whistles. The smaller 34mm case, lack of complications and absence of a chronometer certification kept the price down compared to the (proper) Explorer and Datejust, but the in-house automatics, standard Oyster bracelet, Oyster case with screw-down crown and overall fit and finish made it a favourite for many. And let’s talk about style. The dial elements were (mostly) cosnsitent at this point with a majority having silver or light dials, baton hands and stick indices (a Rolex aesthetic certainly not limited to the Air-King). As the years progressed, black and slate grey dials became popular as well. Water resistance was now 100 metres.

Corporate Dials

Rolex has a long history of corporate dials, (probably) starting with a “Yankees 1956 World Champions” dial on Yogi Berra’s gold Oyster Perpetual. Rolex actively advertised for logo dial placements and Ref. 5500 became a favourite of businesses looking to provide a Rolex as a luxury bonus, retirement gift and so on. Popular examples today include dials printed with a Domino’s Pizza or Levi’s logo above 6 o’clock, but countless examples are out there from foreign government crests to obscure sporting events. Of course, this wasn’t limited to the Air-King as logo dials were made for the Oyster Perpetual, Datejust, Date and many more, but the Air-King’s classic style and more affordable price seemingly made them best suited for the roll. There was even a very rare Submariner with a Panama Canal dial from 1999. As a quick note, all Mickey Mouse Rolex dials are aftermarket additions as Rolex never sold one from the factory, so buyer beware. Corporate dials are hit or miss with collectors today, but many are still worth more than their conventional counterparts, such as the aforementioned Domino’s 5500.

Below, two examples of corporate dial wholesale replica Rolex Air-King 5500 watches – a classic Domino’s Pizza (image by windvintage.com) and another example with Pool Intairdril Dial (image by bulangandsons.eu)

Calibre 1520 and 1530

In 1957, Rolex introduced calibre 1530 (before 1520) as a “super precision” in-house automatic for the Air-King that didn’t require a chronometer rating. Early pre-chronometer Submariners got this calibre as well, while a relative handful of 1530s got a chronometer rating for specific models. Over the years, it evolved a bit as the butterfly rotor was replaced by a more conventional “half-moon” type, Teflon-coated red gears replaced brass (with the aesthetic we still see today) and the jewel count increased from 25 to 26 for some. All beat at 18,800vph (2.5Hz) and had a 44-hour power reserve. Calibre 1535 was a variant with a date complication (see ref. 5700 below). There were also 17-jewel versions of 1530 and 1520 to avoid tariffs in certain markets, generally the United States.

Calibre 1520 was a modest upgrade and also a cost cutting downgrade to 1530 with a slightly higher beat rate of 19,800vph (2.75Hz) and 26 jewels for all movements (save for a possible lower jewel count to avoid tariffs). The power reserve was listed as 42 hours, so a slight downgrade from calibre 1530 and it didn’t use a Microstella regulator like calibre 1530, hence the PRECISION designation even with a higher beat rate. This movement was used in early Submariners as well.

The Air-King Reference 5700, Air-King Date (1959 – 1988)

A cool variant of ref. 5500 is the Air-King Date, ref. 5700, which (as the name implies) simply adds a date window at 3 o’clock under a Cyclops lens and acrylic crystal. These were otherwise the same as the standard 5500 models and similar to the Oyster Perpetual Date models of the time, minus the official chronometer designation. Ref. 5700 had the familiar smooth bezel, while a rarer two-tone (Rolesor) model appeared later with a fluted bezel and gold dial elements (ref. 5701). With the added date complication came an upgraded movement, calibre 1535, although some used calibre 1525 and both were PRECISION movements and not chronometers. Dial colour options were generally silver, black, white and champagne. Curiously, there was also Swiss made fake Rolex Air-King Date ref. 6500 watches with a black dial introduced in 1975.

A Few Anomalies

While ref. 5500 was a relatively unchanged and stable run for over 30 years, some weird anomalies were not uncommon for Rolex reference series at the time. In 1960, ref. 5506 (and three other references) debuted with 14-micron gold capping, which is rolled onto the steel unlike traditional gold plating (although the aesthetic was nigh identical). A matching Oyster bracelet came fitted. Then ref. 5501 brought a two-tone Rolesor model with a gold fluted bezel and crown, fitted with a two-tone Oyster bracelet and later a comparable Jubilee. Ref. 5502 had a gold case with a smooth bezel, black dial and Air-King in large script above 6 o’clock. Ref. 5504 had a set of Alpha hands and larger applied indices at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, all packaged in a larger 36mm Explorer 1 case with calibre 1530. This was not, however, like the earlier 5500 Explorer hybrid.

Other changes include the switch to tritium in the mid-1960s from radioactive radium (recognized with T SWISS T at the bottom) and the introduction of a quickset date for 5700 models in the 1970s.

The Air-King Reference 14000, Contemporary Features in a Familiar Package (1989 – 1999)

From an enthusiast’s standpoint, this is probably the Rolex Air-King replica watches for sale to get. It maintains much of the character from ref. 5500, but adds a contemporary sapphire crystal and new movement, calibre 3000 (not yet a chronometer). Increasingly uncommon pencil and Alpha hands were now completely gone, replaced with the latest baton hands as seen on the Datejust and others. The drilled lugs were gone as well. Salmon and blue dials joined the pack and dial designs really expanded with different indices, Roman numerals, Arabic numerals at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock (as seen with previous references) and so on. Of course, the familiar and simple Air-King dial layout from before still dominated the series. In 1998, the switch from tritium to LumiNova was complete and T SWISS T changed to SWISS at the bottom of the dial, and Super-LumiNova came to dials soon after that.

Calibre 3000 was a solid upgrade with 27 jewels, a beat rate of 28,800vph (4Hz) to match the brand’s broader portfolio and a 42-hour power reserve. It was used for some no-date Submariners and Explorers for a time as well. It had a flat hairspring without overcoil and a simplified adjustable mass balance, and was a reliable in-house workhorse until ref. 14000M replaced it in 2000.

The Air-King Reference 14000M (2000 – 2006)

This reference (“M” for a modified ref. 14000) upgraded the movement again, this time with a certified chronometer – calibre 3130. Spec bumps included 31 jewels from 27 and a new Parachrom hairspring. Although 3130 was the first COSC-certified Air-King movement, PRECISION remained printed on the dials. Little else changed overall and both 14000 and 14000M shared dial variances, although as mentioned, Super-LumiNova replaced LumiNova.

The Air-King Reference 14010/14010M with Engine Turned Steel Bezels

Ref. 14010 (1991 – 2001) and ref. 14010M (2000 – 2006) had special engine-turned bezels with fine grooves between polished plates that were adjacent to the main dial indices (double plate at 12 o’clock). This was simply a machined bezel for aesthetics and the models were otherwise identical to ref. 14000 and 14000M.

The Air-King Reference 114200, The Air-King Matures (2007 – 2014)

Although we saw a lot of dial variances emerge with the ref. 14000 series, things really went crazy with ref. 114200, the first six-digit Air-King reference (along with 114234) before there was a multi-year production gap. Let’s start small and we’ll go from there. For starters, all dials now had best 2025 copy Rolex watches‘ own Chromalight, replacing Super-LumiNova. SWISS MADE was once again standard at the bottom of the dials as well, but dials were now all over the map with colours including black, white, green, blue, salmon and champagne with some having Roman numerals, applied Arabic numerals, exotic dials, two-tone variants and so on. The familiar Explorer setup with applied Arabic numerals at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock became a standard arrangement, differing from earlier models that used this setup, but it was never the norm. White gold baton hands (carried over from ref. 14000) were standard on most models. The case size of 34mm and 100 metres of water resistance did remain unchanged.

PRECISION AND SUPER PRECISION were finally replaced with SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED as calibre 3130 (carried from ref. 14000M) was a certified chronometer, but again the curious decision to keep PRECISION on the older 14000M dials was made at the time. Ref. 114234 added a white gold fluted bezel like many Datejust models for a bit of luxury. The humble, simple Air-King had really matured, but it hadn’t quite outgrown its traditional intent (yet). That said, dial variances became so extreme that these could be confused for different Rolex models entirely, although all were time-only with no date (with Air-King still printed in script, of course).

The Air-King Reference 116900, the Return (2016 – 2022)

After ref. 114200 was discontinued in 2014, the Air-King completely left the Rolex portfolio and many wondered if that signalled the end of one of the longest-running models. As it turns out, it was just put back in the oven as a very different package emerged two years later in 2016. A lot of enthusiasts (including myself) believed that the soul of the Air-King began to fade with this newest ref. 116900, Rolex replica watches site that was a world away from the traditional ethos. A different animal entirely. We now had a 40mm case (a massive leap from 34mm), a broader bezel and white gold Mercedes hands almost jarringly replaced the more conservative baton counterparts. In fact, the case was now shared with the Milgauss, along with the movement and antimagnetic inner case. The only thing that made this an “Air-King” was the familiar script on the glossy black lacquered dial, now moved above 6 o’clock as OYSTER PERPETUAL was printed below a green ROLEX under a yellow coronet. Oh, and the lollipop seconds hand was also green with a Chromalight aperture. Again, jarring. The dial only came in black with a mishmash of Arabic numerals – there was the applied 3, 6 and 9 o’clock that we know mixed in with a seconds/minutes timing scale (5 to 55) that was inspired by Rolex’s own dashboard instruments produced for the Bloodhound SSC supersonic car (a British jet and rocket-powered car designed to reach land speeds over 1,000mph). The sound barrier is broken on land at approximately 760mph for reference. The car never achieved its goals and the partnership dissolved.

The movement was upgraded to calibre 3131, which is an improved calibre 3130 from before with a 48-hour power reserve and Paramagnetic Parachrom Blue hairspring. It first debuted in 2007 for the Milgauss and these are the only two models to share it.

The Air-King Reference 126900 (2022 – present)

The newest best quality fake Rolex Air-King 126900 watches looks much like its immediate predecessor, but there are many differences. The 40mm case is now similar to the GMT-Master II (as the Milgauss was discontinued) with lines a bit sharper, wider lugs, a narrower bezel and a full crown guard (a first for an Air-King). However, the antimagnetic inner case remains. Like virtually all modern Rolexes, the new movement – calibre 3230 – has the latest Rolex Chronergy escapement, which lightens/skeletonizes the escapement and modifies the escape wheel teeth and pallet stones, improving efficiency by 15% and bringing accuracy to +/-2 seconds per day. It wasn’t that long ago when Air-Kings were simply PRECISION models without even COSC certification. A huge jump for the traditionally humble series to say the least.

The black dial is very similar to the ref. 116900, but there are a few subtle changes. First, the 5 is now 05 at the top right, while the applied 3, 6 and 9 Arabic numerals have Chromolight inserts like the Explorer (they were solid on ref. 116900). The bottom index below the 6 has also been removed, making room for a printed coronet between SWISS and MADE.

It’s a bit strange how much the Air-King has evolved, given how restrained Rolex is with its core portfolio. Look at the Explorer, Explorer II, Submariner, GMT Master II, Day-Date, Datejust and so on and you’ll see a consistent design language throughout they’re entire production lives, even with inevitable upgrades. The Air-King maintained that for much of its life, particularly through the 5500, 5700 and 14000 eras, but it’s now a completely different high-end sports Rolex replica watches shop. That’s certainly not a bad thing, but it does remove some of what made the Air-King unique and special. We already have the Explorer and Datejust, for example, and it almost seems like the Oyster Perpetual has stepped into the Air-King’s role after a promotion. Perhaps I’m too much of a purist, but I don’t see much of an Air-King with the latest generation. A very cool and mature Rolex sports model, yes, but an Air-King?

Collectors and Enthusiasts

One of the great things about the Air-King is affordability for collectors and enthusiasts. A very long production run, especially with ref. 5500 and 14000, coupled with this being an affordable model by design (until very recently) make preowned Air-Kings fairly easy to buy. You can find a nice, well-running ref. 5500 model for less than USD 2,500 (minus the Oyster bracelet) and USD 3,000 will get you a complete, original piece. That’s an exceptional value for a solid, preowned Rolex these days. A nice ref. 14000 goes up about USD 1,000 for a total of USD 4,000 for a piece with an Oyster bracelet, while a ref. 5700 Date model can be had for less than USD 3,500 if you like the Oyster Perpetual Date vibe. If you’re an enthusiast who just wants a nice Rolex experience that won’t break the bank, any of the above will more than fit the bill. In fact, a light polish and service will give you a Rolex that many onlookers will think is new.

If you prefer something more contemporary, ref. 114200 can be had for less than USD 5,000, while the recent 116900 can be found for less than USD 6,500 and the newest 126900 can be found for around USD 7,500. Keep in mind, the latter two models are now high-end, COSC-certified Swiss made fake Rolex sports watches CA with contemporary 40mm cases and significant magnetic resistance.

Serious collectors, however, are after very early or special models, although even many of those are surprisingly affordable. An original ref. 4925 in nice condition had a high estimate of USD 7,000 at Sotheby’s last September (the final selling price wasn’t listed). For context, a nice Explorer ref. 1016 from the 1960s will set you back around USD 15,000 and that’s a standard model with early(ish) features that had an almost 30-year production run. Special models, like a Domino’s Pizza 5500 can go north of USD 10,000, while a “double red” 5500 can be even more. If you can find a 5500 Explorer hybrid, you’ll need even deeper pockets. However, just look at an early Paul Newman Daytona and you’ll realize just how affordable these are for rare, vintage Rolexes.

I’m again torn by what the Air-King has become. On one hand, it’s now a thoroughly modern, high-end sports watch that can play on the same field as any contemporary model today. On the other hand, it’s just not the Air-King that I grew up with with an established look going back to the mid-1950s. It kind of reminds me of the recent electric Ford Mustang. Cool and contemporary, but it’s just not a Mustang anymore. But who am I to overly criticize a model that’s now among the brand’s best steel sports Rolex replica watches paypal?

We’ll always have a smorgasbord of traditional preowned Air-Kings on the market with amazing price points, so there’s truly something for everyone. Some may say that the Air-King is the lowly entry-level Rolex, which may have been true in the past (certainly not the case today), but that’s not a bad thing. One of my favourite vintage models is the Oyster Date with a hand-wound movement, on par with early Air-Kings for the “entry-level” tag. As far as I’m concerned, a nice ref. 5500 Air-King provides just as much of a Rolex experience as a ref. 1016 Explorer – and I’m sticking with that statement.

CA Best Rolex GMT-Master II 126710GRNR Vs. 116710LN Replica Watches Online

We hope you have enjoyed the holidays and are ready for our first battle of the new year. So make yourself a nice warm cup of coffee, and let’s get rolling! Today, we’ll play a game called Find the Differences. OK, although that is a joke, it might be your first thought when looking at the two Rolex GMT-Master II models Mike and Jorg selected. Jorg picked the current perfect CA replica Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126710GRNR watches, while Mike picked its predecessor, the 116710LN. It’s time to find which of these two will come out on top!

At first glance, these two Swiss made Rolex fake watches are very similar. The Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 116710LN was introduced in 2007 and is widely known as the first stainless steel GMT-Master II with a ceramic bezel insert. This reference stayed in production until 2018. That’s when the follow-up GMT-Master II ref. 126710 replaced the first-generation stainless steel models with ceramic bezels. But Jorg’s pick didn’t arrive on the scene until last year during Watches and Wonders. The new ref. 126710GRNR followed the full-gold and bicolor versions of the GMT-Master II with their black and gray bezel inserts that arrived in 2023. But this new version didn’t receive much praise upon its debut. Let’s see if it can win this battle against its predecessor.

Jorg: Replica Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126710GRNR Watches

Okay, Mike, it’s time for some good old nitpicking with these two 1:1 wholesale Rolex replica watches. I do genuinely favor the GMT-Master II ref. 126710GRNR over the previous generation for a few reasons. But let me briefly go back to Watches and Wonders 2023. It wasn’t a surprise when Rolex unveiled the stainless steel version of its GMT-Master II with the black and gray bezel insert. The year before, the brand treated us to this watch’s two siblings in full yellow gold and a combination of stainless steel and yellow gold. Honestly, I would trade this stainless steel version for the bicolor model without hesitating for a second.

This new stainless steel version looks somewhat boring compared to its more luxurious counterparts, which also contributed to the largely lukewarm reaction to the introduction. The two previous versions brought back some of the great vibes of the 1970s GMT-Masters that you and I love. This new stainless steel 126710GRNR took a step away from that and was more reminiscent of the high quality Canada copy Rolex watches you picked for this battle. However, compared to the previous generation, I do like it better, and I also think it is less boring. Let me explain why.

It starts with the case and the bezel

First, the current GMT-Master II case shape easily beats your pick’s chunkier, broad-shouldered “Super Case.” While I have never hated the previous generation’s more muscular presence, seeing it next to my pick does reveal that it lacks the elegance that I appreciate so much about the GMT-Master. Additionally, I do like the new model’s black and gray bezel insert.

There are two reasons for this. First, the division makes it easier to distinguish day and night. While I don’t think you will have any trouble telling the difference between the two in the second time zone of your choice as it is a 24-hour scale, it will help you determine whether it is day or night more quickly. Second, I prefer the new insert because it makes the luxury replica Rolex watches CA feel like a proper GMT-Master. In terms of aesthetics, any GMT-Master with an all-black bezel insert looks way too close to Rolex’s divers. This two-colored bezel makes it a proper GMT-Master for me, and that is why I would always pick that option if given the chance.

The updated caliber 3285 is the better pick

Another important factor for me is the updated movement inside the current GMT-Master II. The in-house caliber 3285 is a significant upgrade from the previous caliber 3186. The new-generation movement debuted in 2018, offering 70 hours of power reserve instead of its predecessor’s 48. This was thanks to Rolex’s new, more efficient Chronergy escapement and high-capacity barrel. Additionally, caliber 3285 is equipped with Paraflex shock absorbers for better durability. These two features are noteworthy improvements over the previous caliber 3186 that powers “your” 116710LN.

The last preference I want to mention is the Jubilee bracelet option for the newer of the two models. To me, it looks much better than the somewhat flashy modern Oyster bracelet of the top Rolex GMT-Master II fake watches with its brushed outer links and polished center links. The Jubilee removes the unnecessary bling from the GMT-Master II. Sure, the current 126710GRNR might not have been received with much praise, whereas your 116710LN was praised as the first model of a new generation of the GMT-Master II. However, the context changes everything. When put into the context of a comparison like this, I would easily pick the current GMT-Master II ref. 126710GRNR (€11,100) as my daily wearer over the previous version, which is only marginally cheaper on the pre-owned market. But please do explain why you feel yours is the better pick, Mike.

Mike: Fake Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 116710LN Watches

I still remember sitting in my office in Juárez, Mexico, in 2007. My boss was heavily into Swiss movements replica Rolex watches, and we established a good working relationship over the topic. At the time, he only talked about the newly announced GMT-Master II 116710LN. He was on the list as soon as news of the release broke, and I think he picked one up once they arrived at ADs.

I can’t lie; neither watch in today’s showdown holds a candle to the vintage GMT-Master 1675 for me, but the 116710LN is a significant piece. For better or worse, it’s the Rolex super clone watches for men largely responsible for ushering in the Rolex we know today. It was the first stainless GMT model with a Cerachrom bezel, large lume plots, and the “Super Case.” Like it or not, this modern iteration was a very different watch from its predecessors.

The first modern GMT

By the time the prior model, the 16710, reached the end of production, it was an old watch. Rolex sold it from 1989 until 2007 with an aluminum bezel, a stamped bracelet clasp, and brushed bracelet links. While I found such details charming, changing tastes desired something newer. As mentioned, I recall when the 116710LN was released, which was a big deal. The Cerachrom bezel insert was only available in solid black for technological reasons. Two-color versions were still in development. A green hand replaced the former red one (a gold version debuted this detail in 2005, the 50th anniversary of the GMT-Master). Inside, the Swiss made Rolex replica watches used the chronometer-certified caliber 3186 with its quick-setting 12-hour hand.

Still a deal

As hot as the 116710LN was when it came out, later models with bicolor bezels trumped the all-black model. Since production ended in 2019, it has existed as an odd exception in the Rolex back catalog. Prices are in the €10K range and have been for a long time. Now, I don’t love everything about this 2025 China Rolex copy watches, but that’s a nice deal for a modern steel sports Rolex, especially when it’s from one of the premier model lines. Compare it to today’s 126710GRNR competitor, and there’s a €7K difference if you can’t get the newer one from an AD. Is there nearly double the value inside the newest model? I don’t think so, and that’s what’s good about Rolex. The differences are small, which keeps the 116710LN relevant design-wise.

Time to choose

Now it’s time to choose your favorite modern black(/gray)-bezel Rolex GMT-Master II replica watches shop. The 116710LN presents surprising value, while the 126710GRNR boasts bracelet options, a newer movement, and a case with a slimmer profile. Of course, some will barely notice the cosmetic differences. Plus, the difference in power reserve won’t matter if it’s a daily watch. So, which pilot’s watch are you choosing and why?

5 High Quality Gem-Set Rolex Daytona And Day-Date Fake Watches CA You Can Buy

A few weeks ago we were in Dubai for the launch of the most lavish Rolex Certified Pre-Owned boutique in the world. After that, we were bopping around the city and spotted no fewer than 55 amazing Swiss made Rolex replica watches, many of the gem-set. Most of that Rollie action in the UAE was down to the Seddiqi family, and it is interesting to note how breezily this family wears the most amazing Rolexes you’ve ever seen. Call it conditioning, a change of taste, or the eventual landing place for many watch enthusiasts, but gem-set Rolex watches are not only some of the brands most rare watches featuring high craft that transcends the industrial approach to watchmaking, but gem-set Rollies are also coming into fashion here in the U.S.

In Miami a couple weeks back we had a chance to hang with Eric Wind of Wind Vintage at our own House of Robb event. Well, Mr. Wind was quick to throw a 36 mm Rolex Day-Date in yellow gold with a bark bezel and president bracelet on our wrists, and this cheap CA Rolex fake watches was set with sapphires and diamonds. Darn you, Wind, you’ve done it again: channeling our emerging tastes before our own eyes. That watch is for sale and linked below.

Unlike the standard-model Submariner, Daytona, GMT Master, and other Rolex copy watches for sale that Rolex calls “professional models” and the rest of the world calls “tool watches,” gem-set Rollies are kind of in their own world. Yes, there are gem-set Daytonas and Subs and GMT Masters, but they’re truly nothing like the standard models. They’re not just elevated; they’re transformed.

Below are five incredible models for sale now, and if you move quickly you can probably secure one in time for the holidays—be that as a gift for a loved one or, perhaps, a little self-love this season.

Replica Rolex Daytona ref. 16528 Watches | $98,550

The best quality fake Rolex reference 16528 Daytona watches represents a classic yellow-gold configuration within the last of the five-digit era. This watch was built in the final year of the generation, which uses a highly modified Zenith-built El Primero chronograph caliber, dubbed the 4030 in Rolex parlance. This particular reference also welcomed a wide range of special-configuration dials, such as this example which features a stunning ruby pave landscape between the sub-dials. For about as classic a sport chronograph as you’re likely to come across, it takes remarkably well to some Rolex’s most original gem set designs, as well come to see in the remainder of this curation.

This 16528 comes to use from Tropical Watch, and remains in remarkable condition. This is a full kit with the original box, pamphlets, and service cards. The case and bracelet show light signs of wear, but crisp lines remain through the lugs and links. This AAA China Rolex super clone watches, like each of the watches below, is exceptionally rare, as they were never officially listed in the brand’s catalog. Few come to market, and this one represents a unique opportunity, especially under the $100,000 price point.

Fake Rolex Day-Date ref. 18078 Watches | $29,000

The top wholesale replica Rolex Day-Date reference 18078 watches is an icon that bridged the famous Rolex collection from its past to its future. Like the Daytona above, this reference was offered in a diverse range of dial configurations, including some rather unusual gem set designs. While some take a maximalist approach, others exercise some restraint, defining shapes like hour markers and index rings with complimentary tones. Some even carry this through into interesting textures on the bracelet, which is the case here. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Day-Date as a platform has proven quite adept at working well in a wide range of materials, textures, and finishes.

This particular reference 18078 is on offer by Wind Vintage, and brings us a unique design that boasts a bark bezel texture that’s mirrored in the center link of the bracelet. It’s unexpected, but it works. The yellow dial matches the yellow gold case and bracelet, and the dial also gets an arrangement of diamonds set around the chapter ring, with longer baguette cut diamonds in dark blue at each hour. This example dates to 1983, which is early into the five-digit reference cycle. The case appears to be unpolished, but does show signs of age around the crown. Overall this is a beautiful example of one of the more interesting takes on the luxury copy Rolex Day-Date watches to be produced by Rolex.

Rolex Day-Date ref. 18039 Replica Watches | Price on Request

This watch is a perfect contrast to the Day-Date above. The reference 18039 is rendered in white gold, paired with a white-gold President bracelet. It’s as classic as it is understated. This reference also welcomed plenty of off-catalog configurations, and this is a peculiar example of just that. Rather than embracing big colors, this best fake Rolex watches CA almost flies under the radar with a full white gem set dial, matching the tones of the case and bracelet perfectly. Dark blue gems mark each hour, and bring the only moments of contrast to the situation as a whole.

This example comes to us from the newly announced Rolex CPO program from Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons based in Dubai. The retailer has brought a truly exceptional collection of rare and unique Rolex references right out of the gates, with seemingly much more to come. This cheap Rolex replica watches is a stunning example of what you can expect for the most lavish CPO program on the planet, with a crisp case and bracelet and a well preserved, rare dial.

Rolex Daytona ref. 116595RBOW Fake Watches | $767,612

We can’t have a list of gem-set Rolex references without a Rainbow Daytona making an appearance. This is an idea that’s seen in a variety of configurations within the Daytona collection, but the most recent example came in 2018 with the 116595RBOW. What I love about this take on the concept is the move away from square set hour markers, into baguette cut diamonds that more closely align the intended dial design. The colors match with the transitioning bezel colors, representing the full spectrum of the rainbow, naturally. It’s over the top in every conceivable way, and it’s totally amazing.

This example, from Chrono24, was produced this year, and is presented in like new condition. This is another rare one, and due to its more public than usual launch in 2018, it’s been spotted on all manner of celebrity and public figure—which is reflected in the price seen here. This is about as good as it gets when it comes to the quality of 1:1 2024 Rolex replica watches using gems in an interesting and engaging manner. It’s also about as rare as it gets.

Replica Rolex Daytona ref. 126598TRU Watches | $1,350,000

Finally, we have something from the newest generation of the AAA Swiss replica Rolex Daytona watches, which was released in 2023. A trio of off-catalog references also appeared with the new generation, and the 126598TRU was arguably the most dramatic of the bunch. This yellow gold case and bracelet plays host to 36 rubies set into the bezel, 11 ruby hour markers, and a dial paved with 417 diamonds. Oh, and they’re also set into the lug shoulders and crown guards, because why not…? This is a watch that makes an impact, and every stone at use has been carefully selected.

This is a rare Rolex replica watches site to see the light of day, let alone find itself listed on Chrono24, but that’s exactly what we have here. This is a like-new example that comes with a full kit. While this is far from inexpensive, it will put you in rather exclusive company, and hits straight at the end of the stick when it comes to collecting rare Rolex references.

What Makes The Swiss Perfect CA Fake Rolex Padellone Ref. 8171 Watches So Special?

Last week, a radio station invited me for an interview about special best replica Rolex Padellone 8171 watches offered at PAN Amsterdam, a popular art and antiques fair. The hosts asked me what made the watch so special and why it was on offer at the fair.

Rolex Padellone ref. 8171

PAN Amsterdam will run from November 24th to December 1st, but the CA 1:1 fake Rolex Padellone ref. 8171 watches has already been sold (it was listed for just less than €200,000). It was on offer through Amsterdam Watch Company, which has been an exhibitor at PAN Amsterdam for several years. I was asked if a watch belongs at the PAN fair, but since it is about art and antiques, I guess it makes sense. And since it was sold on the first day, there’s proof that PAN visitors enjoy vintage watches. At least one of them did!

A very low production number for a Rolex watch

The more important question is what makes the top AAA replica Rolex Perpetual “Padellone” 8171 watches so special. According to the seller and many other websites (which seem to repeat what others have written elsewhere), Rolex only produced 1,000 examples of the ref. 8171. Ben Clymer from Hodinkee claims that the production number was slightly higher at 1,200, 50% of which was for the Rolex ref. 8171 in stainless steel. In the grand scheme of things, whether it’s 1,000 or 1,200, that number is nothing compared to modern production numbers from The Crown in Geneva. It makes Padellone ref. 8171 a very rare Rolex coveted by collectors.

A beautiful face

The appreciation for this high quality Rolex copy watches is about more than just the low production number. It’s also because this is one of the very few Rolex models with a triple calendar and moonphase complication. The other thing is that this Rolex 8171, nicknamed “Padellone” (“frying pan” in Italian), looks different from most Rolex models due to the dial shape and size. When Rolex produced this cheap Rolex replica watches between 1949 and 1952, the Oyster case and even Oyster Datejust cases had already been in production for a while. The non-Oyster 8171 case not only looks different from those but is also relatively large in diameter. The Padellone measures 38mm wide, making it 2mm larger than the Rolex Datejust. Furthermore, it was larger than the other “complicated” Rolex with the triple calendar and moonphase complication at the time, the “Stelline” ref. 6062. Additionally, the latter had an Oyster case, just like the Datejust.

Rolex caliber A295 CPL

Inside the Rolex Padellone ref. 8171 is caliber A295 CPL. This is an 18-jewel self-winding movement with day, date, month, and moonphase complications. The movement doesn’t have any fine decoration. It looks rather “industrial,” you could say. Therefore, the attractiveness of this luxury fake Rolex watches is in the case, dial, and complication rather than in the movement’s decoration. That said, the Rolex movement is incredibly reliable and a certified chronometer, so it deserves credit.

The Rolex 8171 case and dial

The dial of the China online Rolex super clone watches sits in an elegant 38mm case and has two apertures below 12 o’clock for the day and month, a date scale printed on the perimeter, and a moonphase aperture inside the sub-seconds register at 6 o’clock. The applied gold hour markers are faceted, and above the day and month apertures is an applied Rolex logo. Below the apertures is the Rolex wordmark and “Perpetual,” indicating it houses a self-winding movement. The hour and minute dagger hands are gilt, while the date hand is steel with a blue triangular tip. The small running seconds hand is also gilt. Within the sub-dial is a mention of the movement being an “officially certified chronometer.” Finally, a gold bezel keeps the acrylic crystal in place.

Snap-in case back with (light) engravings

This Rolex Padellone ref. 8171 has a flat and unsigned crown. On each side of the case, there are two micro-pushers to correct the calendar functions. On the snap-in case back, you’ll find two engravings — the Rolex coronet and the individual case number of the Rolex replica watches for sale.

The original alligator strap and Rolex-signed buckle

Amsterdam Watch Company, which sold the Swiss made copy Rolex watches, says the case is still very thick and sharp. All engravings on the case back are still visible. It’s an easy giveaway of a watch having been worn a lot (or polished too often) if these are hardly visible or even entirely gone. The creamy-looking dial developed a subtle patina, which is visible in the images. This particular Padellone example hails from 1951 and comes on its original 73-year-old alligator strap with a gold-plated Rolex-signed buckle.

The design of this Rolex with a triple calendar and moonphase complication is breathtaking. It’s grail material for many vintage (Rolex) collectors and rightfully so. Together with the 6062 (which had a slightly higher production number), these Rolex replica watches CA wholesale highlight a period long gone at Rolex.

Amsterdam Watch Company informed us that this Rolex Padellone offered at the PAN Amsterdam fair found a new home with a watch collector. Congrats to the new owner!

The Chelsea Goal Machine Has A Crush On Luxury CA Rolex Classic Replica Watches For Sale

Under things Cole Palmer likes, there’s scoring goals for England and Chelsea, classic Burberry tuxedos, chippy chips, and Swiss made Rolex replica watches. And at last night’s GQ Men of the Year he pulled up wearing another banging CA AAA Rolex fake watches from the Swiss crown, further bolstering his watch head credentials in the process.

When it came to dressing for MOTY, the footie ace kept things classic in OG black tie, and his wrist game followed suit. Peaking from the cuff of his jacket was very tasty white gold high quality replica Rolex Day-Date 40mm watches. You know the one – a bougie President bracelet, a super sleek day and date window, diamond-set dial, and a fluted bezel. It’s favoured by presidents, leaders, and footballers (co-incidentally his MOTY co-cover and Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo also has one in his collection too).

One of the first people to get a glimpse at Palmer’s killer cheap Rolex copy watches CA was last night’s red carpet host, Amelia Dimoldenberg who asked the big questions. Like “Do you think you’d make a good pundit?” But she did make the point that he spends too much time playing football to comment on it. Palmer was quick to add that playing football is his actual job, though. Fair point.

And he’s pretty good at it, too. Palmer joined Chelsea in September last year, and continues to bag goals for his club. Plus, being a pro footballer pays the big bucks, which makes buying killer top Rolex fake watches a bit easier, especially when his Man of the Year kettle lands around the £40k mark. “His watches represent the class he plays with when he has a ball at his feet,” says Footballer Fits founder Jordan Clarke. “Because at his best, nobody can get close to him on the pitch. I think that’s a nice tie-in to the watches he wears off the pitch.”

But MOTY 2024 wasn’t Palmer’s first Rolex rodeo. He’s cooking up quite the collection, with his latest watch joining cold, iced-out Swiss Rolex Cosmograph Daytona replica watches wholesale with an ice-blue dial. So it’s clear he’s got a thing for the classics. The Daytona is widely considered one of the holiest watches in the game, only aided by its A-list admirers like Jay-Z, Michael Jordan, and Ed Sheeran, with Palmer adding to the hype.

But the Chelsea player doesn’t reserve his tickers for red carpets. He’s repping his sought-after Rolexes on his days off, thrown on with day-to-day sportswear. And that’s the beauty of both the best quality super clone Rolex Daytona and Day-Date watches: they’re watch hall of famers that you can wear pretty much all the time.

Whether Palmer’s latest 1:1 online replica Rolex watches means he’ll keep scoring in the watch stakes remains to be seen. Either way, it’ll be interesting to see if he’s swayed by his mate and fellow MOTY cover star, Central Cee.

All The Cheap Online Rolex Submariner Fake Watches CA Ever Made Are Now Near A Total $50 Billion Market Value

The total market value of all perfect Rolex Submariner replica watches ever made is almost $50 billion, based on analysis of the first-ever release of production data by the Swiss watchmaker.

Nearly 4 million CA 1:1 fake Rolex Submariner and Sea Dweller diving watches were produced between 1953 and 2020, according to a company-authorized book entitled Submariner: The Watch that Unlocked the Deep.

Subdial, a UK-based second-hand trading platform, estimates that at current prices those best Swiss Rolex copy watches are worth about $46 billion. That figure rises closer to $50 billion if Submariners made after 2020 are included.

The figures underscore the value retention of some Swiss movements replica Rolex watches. Scores of models trade above their retail prices on the secondary market even though Rolex makes more than 1 million timepieces per year, according to analyst estimates.

The Rolex Submariner fake watches for men, produced for more than 70 years, was designed for deep-sea divers, though it’s now more often seen on wrists of Wall Street or City of London traders. The current version traces its appearance back to the original model created in 1953.

“When I close my eyes and think of Rolex, the watch that appears in my mind’s eye is the Submariner,” said Eric Wind, a Florida-based vintage watch dealer who previously worked for auction house Christie’s.

Rarer top Rolex Submariner super clone watches can retain value better than higher-production models. The total value of a version collectors dubbed “The Hulk,” with a green dial and bezel, briefly overtook the comparable standard model during the market frenzy for pre-owned luxury watches in 2022, even though Rolex made only half as many from 2010 through 2020, the Subdial data show.

To be sure, the market value estimate for all the luxury replica Rolex dive watches ever produced presumes that the nearly 4 million timepieces are still in existence. Many certainly have been lost or discarded, or are no longer working or repairable.

Still, “the mind boggles to think what $46 billion of Submariners means,” Subdial co-founder Christy Davis said, adding that Rolex has created a “cash cow model” without detracting from the allure of the Rolex replica watches for sale.

Rolex copy watches shop CA overall dominates a secondary market for used luxury timepieces that’s estimated to grow to $35 billion annually by 2030, according to Deloitte.

Of the watches in the Bloomberg Subdial Watch Index, which tracks prices for the 50 most-traded models by value, 45 are AAA China Rolex replica watches. The index fell 0.6% in October as Rolex and Audemars Piguet declines offset gains by Patek Philippe.

By brand, Richemont’s Cartier was the biggest decliner, falling 1.8% during the month. Swatch Group AG’s Omega showed the strongest gains, rising 0.6%.

Swiss made Rolex fake watches has a vested interest in the second-hand market, as it recently started selling used models through its certified pre-owned program.

Still, just 1% of all its cheap replica Rolex watches Canada made are for sale at any given time, according to Subdial and other major sellers. Even as models such as the Daytona chronograph have captured more attention with recent price increases, for collectors and dealers like Wind, the Submariner stands out.

“It’s the watch so many people choose to buy with their first bonus check,” Wind said.

Hands On: The First-Ever Swiss Luxury Replica Rolex Daytona “Rainbow” 16599SAAEC Watches CA

One of the most valuable watches to go on the block this auction season is the perfect replica Rolex Daytona “Rainbow” 16599SAAEC watches. Part of Phillips’ Reloaded auction taking place on November 8, 2024, the Zenith-powered Daytona is the original “Rainbow”, having been produced in 1994, some 18 years before the serially-produced Daytona “Rainbow” was introduced.

Like all automatic Daytona models prior to 2000, this Swiss CA fake Rolex Daytona “Rainbow” watches is powered by the cal. 4030, which is a Zenith El Primero modified by Rolex. But this Daytona is unique in having a singular model reference of 16599 followed by the suffix “SAAEC”, short for saphir arc-en-ciel, French for “sapphire rainbow”.

A rainbow history

Though the high quality copy Rolex Daytona “Rainbow” watches is perhaps the most famous gem-set Rolex model today, it took a while to catch on when it was introduced. It debuted as a regular production model in 2012 with the Daytona ref. 116598RBOW in yellow gold and ref. 116599RBOW in white gold.

At launch the Daytona “Rainbow” was not the object of frenzied desire as it is now, but by 2018 it was sought after. And that year Rolex debuted the best 2024 replica Rolex Daytona ref. 116595RBOW watches in Everose gold that boasted the upgrade of baguette-cut rainbow indices.

The facelift was also applied to the yellow and white gold versions, both of which now sport baguette-cut rainbow indices as well. As with the first generation model, variants with gem-set dials and bracelets also exist.

But the top Rolex Daytona copy watches CA was not the first Rolex Oyster with “rainbow” treatment. That distinction likely goes to the Day-Date dating to the 1980s.

The Day-Date refs. 18058, 18059, and 18188 are known with rainbow gemstones, each executed differently but instantly recognisable with the multi-hued bezel.

The original Daytona “Rainbow”

Though the Daytona “Rainbow” ref. 16599SAAEC is being sold publicly for the first time now, it has been known for some years now.

The fake Rolex watches for men was originally sold in Saudi Arabia, before making its way to a collection in Dubai over a dozen years ago. The next owner was a gentleman who owned a famous collection of vintage watches and is the consignor of the watch.

The ref. 16599SAAEC is essentially a white gold Daytona of the period with the addition of a bezel with rainbow-hued sapphires set in a graduated pattern.

Interestingly, the rainbow bezel differs from today’s Daytona “Rainbow” because the colour graduation is inverted. On today’s models the greens are at three o’clock, while here they are at nine.

The rest of the Swiss movements Rolex replica watches is identical to the regular production model. This has the familiar white gold case with a hood in-between the lugs to create an integrated appearance for the leather strap, which was likely a glossy maroon when the cheap Canada super clone Rolex watches was first sold.

Likewise, dial is identical to that of the standard version of the ref. 16599. It’s paved with brilliant-cut diamonds and has brilliant-cut sapphires for hour markers, along with minute numerals at the quarters.

With an estimate of over CHF3 million, the 1:1 quality fake Rolex Daytona “Rainbow” watches is lot 27 in Reloaded: The Rebirth of Mechanical Watchmaking, 1980-1999 on November 8, 2024 in Geneva at the Hotel President.
