“It is often said that the dial is the face of the perfect Rolex replica watches and is what gives a particular model its individual personality,” says David Riboli, who is in charge of the watch prototype department at Rolex. “This is even more true in the case of dials made of natural stone or mother‐of‐pearl because materials like these inherently mean that each dial is unique. As such, the dial is a key part of the overall design – the result of a rich and intense dialogue between the designers and the research and development teams.”

The watchmaker sure takes its dials seriously – it employs some 500 people to work exclusively on dial‐making at a specialist site in the Chêne‐Bourg district of Geneva, where everything from conceptualisation to the final assembly of its dials is done in‐house. From the most time‐honoured human craftsmanship to cutting‐edge machinery specially developed by cheap CA Rolex fake watches, every operation is perfectly executed, then systematically checked and appraised to always enhance end quality.

Every year, it develops hundreds of prototypes, yet only a select few make it into Rolex’s esteemed catalogue and become part of its permanent offerings. To get there, every dial design undergoes a rigorous screening process that evaluates it based on technical, aesthetic and commercial viability. No fewer than 60 operations are required to transform a metal disc into a finished dial ready for assembly in the best AAA replica Rolex watches.

It all starts with the creation of blanks: small, round plates typically made of brass (chosen for its ease of manipulation and good conductivity) or gold (known for its malleability, making it suitable for dials that require gem‐setting or enamelling) that serve as the base for each dial. For dials with apertures such as day and date displays, windows are cut out. Tiny holes – the smallest of which measure just 0.2mm across – for mounting appliques are then milled. After machining, the blanks’ surfaces are polished and sandblasted for a smooth finish, and those made of brass are then dipped into electroplating baths of gold, followed by nickel to protect against oxidation as well as to ensure the durability of the dial’s future final colour. Blanks with a sunray finish must pass through a silver‐plating bath, while those crafted from gold can skip all such treatments, as the precious metal does not oxidise.

Now comes the fun though no less technical part: decorating the dial. To do this, Rolex uses a combination of contemporary, state‐of‐the‐art techniques such as laser technology as well as more traditional ones. Among the latter are guillochage, a labour‐intensive craft in which intricate geometric patterns are engraved onto dials, and champlevé grand feu enamelling, which involves applying enamel into cells carved into the dial and then firing it at high temperatures to create intricate, colourful designs. Other forms of ornamentation include the classic sunray finishing, achieved by coating a dial in a mildly abrasive solution and then brushing over it to create subtle lines that radiate outwards, and fine satin finishing, which produces a dial with an evenly matt surface through sandblasting.

Of course, Rolex is also known for its watch dials that are crafted from natural materials such as mother‐of‐pearl, opal, onyx and meteorite – all of which are sourced globally and meticulously selected. Additionally, paved diamonds that turn up on the dial of Rolex copy watches wholesale – covering it either partially or fully – are individually hand-set onto an 18 ct gold base plate.

Among the most covetable high quality Rolex replica watches designs are those featuring coloured dials – an expansive range that’s continually evolving and includes several exclusive shades. To create these, the brand turns to three different methods. There’s lacquering: the airbrushing of fine layers of lacquer onto a dial to create intense colours such as black and white, as well as pink, turquoise blue and green. Another approach is electroplating, an electrochemical process during which a dial is immersed in electrolytic baths and that results in metallic shades such as silver, gold and rosé.

The last technique is one of the most complicated, yet is what allows Swiss made Rolex super clone watches to develop dials in some of the most unexpected colours: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) treatment. During this procedure that the brand helped to pioneer, a dial’s base plate is covered with an ultra‐thin (think less than a micron thick) layer of metal oxides, alloys or nitrides. The environment in which this is carried out needs to be dust‐free, with engineers donning full protective suits to prevent any form of contamination.

To complete the creation of a coloured dial, top Canada replica Rolex watches artisans coat each one with a transparent varnish that enhances the depth of colour, protects the dial surface and lends a glossy or matt finish. This, however, is not the final step in the brand’s dial‐making. The appliques still have to be positioned by hand with paper‐covered tweezers (to avoid scratches), then riveted into corresponding tiny holes using 80 newtons of pressure. Visual inspections and drop tests ensure that everything has been tightly fastened.

For all this advanced technical wizardry though, the brand reminds that there’s no substitute for the trained human eye – one capable of detecting imperfections right down to those a mere tenth of a millimetre, or the thickness of an average strand of human hair. Riboli explains: “A beautiful and harmonious dial will naturally make a statement. It’ll catch attention and make an impact by virtue of its perfect design, colours and decorative elements. This is why, for example, all the sunray‐finish dials are checked one by one to ensure that the striations are uniform and regular. The beauty of a dial is what makes it so captivating. This is why it has to be crafted to perfection.”
