The Rolex Explorer has long been celebrated as a quintessential sports watch, initially released in a 36mm format and briefly offered in a 39mm size. Recently, replica Rolex has reintroduced the Explorer in a 40mm version, which prompts a comparison with the classic 36mm model.

The Explorer stands out for its versatility, functioning seamlessly as both a daily wear and a refined accessory. Its neutral design allows it to be worn with formal attire or casual outfits without drawing undue attention. For many enthusiasts, the Explorer represents the pinnacle of Rolex’s all-around capabilities.

Historical Context of the Rolex Explorer
Introduced in 1953, the Rolex Explorer Ref. 6350 was the first model to bear the “Explorer” name. It featured the iconic 3-6-9 dial layout, which has become a hallmark of the line. Over the decades, the Explorer has undergone minor design changes while maintaining its core identity.

The Explorer Ref. 1016, produced from 1960 to 1989, introduced the “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” designation, solidifying its status as a reliable watch. Subsequent models, such as the Ref. 14270 in 1989 and the Ref. 114270 in 2001, continued to evolve with updated movements and designs, culminating in the return of the 36mm size with the 124270 model in 2021.

The New Explorer 40
In 2025, Rolex introduced the Explorer 40 (Ref. 224270), expanding the size options for enthusiasts. This model retains the hallmark features of the Explorer while appealing to those who prefer a larger wristwatch. The glossy black dial and applied 3-6-9 numerals are consistent with the Explorer aesthetic, while the new 40mm size offers a modern touch.

The 40mm size provides a more pronounced distinction between it and the 36mm version, allowing for broader appeal across varying wrist sizes. The replica Rolex Explorer 40 features 21mm lug spacing, enhancing its overall proportions while maintaining the classic Rolex design language.

Rolex’s addition of the clone Rolex Explorer 40 smartly caters to a diverse audience, providing an option for those who find the 36mm model too small. While purists may argue that the original size should remain at 36mm, personal fit and comfort ultimately dictate the best choice for each wearer.

Retail pricing reflects these adjustments, with the Explorer 36 priced at €7,250 and the Explorer 40 at €7,650. Although some may find the €400 price difference between sizes curious, it underscores Rolex’s commitment to craftsmanship and material quality.

Rolex showcased its highly anticipated 2024 lineup at Watches and Wonders, the premier event for watch enthusiasts. Unlike last year’s bold and colorful designs, replica Rolex opted for a more classic approach this year, making subtle updates to beloved models like the GMT-Master II and Sky-Dweller. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few surprises in store.

Prior to the event, there was speculation about a new GMT-Master II featuring a red-and-black “Coke” bezel, inspired by a 2022 patent filing for a black-and-red Cerachrom bezel. Instead, Rolex surprised attendees with one of its most understated GMT-Master II models in recent memory, subtly echoing a release from last year’s event. Let’s explore some of the standout new Rolex watches for 2025.  

The Sleek New GMT-Master II

Rolex’s latest GMT-Master II, reference 126710GRNR, is crafted in steel with a sophisticated black-and-gray colorway, offering a fresh take on the previous two-toned model, 126713GRNR. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a black-and-gray bezel from Rolex, but it’s the first time it’s been used in a steel GMT-Master II. It joins the “Pepsi” (red and blue), “Batman” (black and blue), and “Sprite” (black and green) as part of Rolex’s Oystersteel GMT-Master II collection. The watch is available with either a Jubilee or Oyster bracelet and is priced at $10,900, making it a sought-after piece for collectors.  

A Dazzling New Deepsea Model

Rolex introduced a striking new version of the Deepsea, their ultra-capable dive watch, now available in yellow gold. This model features a Cerachrom bezel insert and an RLX titanium caseback, marking the first time Rolex has combined gold, titanium, and ceramic. With a depth rating of 12,800 feet, the Deepsea is designed for serious diving, yet it seamlessly blends luxury with technical excellence – a hallmark of clone Rolex’s design philosophy.

Sky-Dweller Takes Center Stage

The Sky-Dweller has evolved from an under-the-radar model to a highly coveted watch, thanks to its sophisticated design and functionality. In 2024, Rolex introduced two new Sky-Dweller references: one in Everose gold and the other in yellow gold, both featuring a Jubilee bracelet made entirely of precious metal. This marks the first time such a bracelet has been paired with the Sky-Dweller, adding an elegant touch to Rolex’s most complex watch.

Additional 2025 Rolex Releases

Rolex continued to expand its collection with a variety of new offerings. Among the most luxurious are two new Daytona models featuring diamond-set bezels and mother-of-pearl dials. The “Pearl Panda” model boasts a white mother-of-pearl dial with black chronograph registers and is available exclusively with an Oysterflex strap, while the black-dial version comes with an Oyster bracelet.

Rolex also updated the Day-Date with several new variants, including a notable Everose gold model with a charcoal dial that was discreetly debuted at the Oscars earlier this year. Completing the 2025 lineup is a new 1908 dress watch, now available with a platinum case and an engine-turned guilloche dial in ice blue, adding a touch of elegance to the collection.

The recent introduction of the Rolex Day-Date featuring a pristine white dial adorned with deconstructed Roman numerals sparked my curiosity. Initially, I overlooked this iteration due to its high-end nature and perceived subtle updates. However, upon closer inspection, I find myself drawn to its allure. Here’s why this specific configuration has piqued my interest.  

Embodying Everyday Elegance

Observing a colleague, RJ, effortlessly don his vintage yellow gold replica Rolex Day-Date ref. 18238, I couldn’t help but admire its versatility. Whether paired with formal attire or a casual ensemble, the watch seamlessly complements any look. Yet, the champagne sunburst dial, albeit luxurious, strikes me as slightly ostentatious for my taste. In envisioning my ideal Day-Date on localdlish, I lean towards a design that offers a touch of contrast, hence my preference for a glossy white dial. With Rolex’s recent inclusion of the deconstructed Roman numerals – borrowed from the 40mm model – my envisioned version of the Day-Date finally materializes.

A Timeless Fit

The enduring appeal of the Day-Date lies in its timeless proportions. The 36mm yellow gold case, measuring 11.7mm in thickness and 43.3mm from lug to lug, exudes a perfect balance. Its size accommodates a diverse range of wrists, fitting comfortably on both RJ’s 18.5cm wrist and my own 17cm wrist. This universal fit ensures that the Day-Date remains a coveted choice across various wrist sizes.

Evolution in Detail

While Roman numerals are not novel to the 36mm Day-Date, their recent reinterpretation breathes new life into the classic design. Previously, painted Roman numerals graced older references such as the 1803, exuding a traditional charm. However, with Rolex’s latest update, the deconstructed font infuses a contemporary edge, aligning seamlessly with the Day-Date’s aesthetic. The enlarged numerals, intricately cut and beveled, not only mirror the watch’s hands but also echo the fluted bezel’s distinct texture.

Aesthetic Harmony, Almost Perfected

Though nearly flawless in design, one aspect gives me pause – the entirely polished Oyster case. In previous iterations, the circularly brushed lugs provided a striking contrast to the polished bezel and case flanks. While the current polished lugs maintain consistency with the President bracelet’s polished center links, I find myself yearning for the nuanced elegance of brushed lug tops.

Mechanical Excellence

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Day-Date boasts mechanical prowess. Housing the 3255 automatic caliber, the watch delivers precision and reliability. With enhancements like an optimized ball bearing for the rotor, the caliber ensures a commendable 70-hour power reserve and impressive accuracy of ±2 seconds per day. Additionally, its water resistance of 100 meters enhances its practicality and durability.

Subtle Sophistication

In a market brimming with customization options, the allure of simplicity remains undeniable. The 36mm Day-Date with a white dial and deconstructed Roman numerals epitomizes understated elegance. While other configurations may dazzle with diamonds, this variant exudes refinement without excess.

A Dream Deferred

Despite its undeniable appeal, the price tag of €37,900 places this horological masterpiece beyond my reach. Nevertheless, I’ll continue to admire the clone Rolex Day-Date from afar, cherishing its timeless allure.

I’m Chris Rovzar, the editor of Bloomberg Pursuits, and I’m here to guide you through the highlights of the 2024 Watches and Wonders fair. As I sit on the flight back from Geneva, I find myself reflecting on an exhilarating week packed with discoveries of new timepieces from renowned brands like fake Rolex, Patek Philippe, TAG Heuer, as well as from emerging names such as Krayon, SpaceOne, and Vanguart.

This edition of the Watch Club newsletter will deviate from its usual format – no CEO interviews or reader wrist checks, just a deep dive into the realm of new watches. So buckle up for a journey through a plethora of horological marvels. (And if you’re perusing this online, make sure to sign up here to stay updated as we return to our regular programming.)
Immersing oneself in a sea of timepieces at an event like this reveals prevailing trends. One standout trend was the prominence of rose gold across various brands. Noteworthy offerings came from Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, Baume et Mercier, and Chopard, among others. Interestingly, despite this surge, it seems that consumer demand still favors the allure of yellow gold – bright and lustrous.

The previous year’s fervent pursuit of smaller case sizes appears to have tempered, with a resurgence of larger tool watches taking center stage. Brands renowned for their intricate complications, such as Vacheron Constantin and Jaeger-LeCoultre, unveiled impressive creations, while Piaget and Bulgari showcased their thinnest mechanical wonders yet.
My initial rendezvous at the fair was with Tudor, where I encountered a new monochrome Black Bay alongside a tasteful Coke-bezel Black Bay 58 GMT. Speculation arose regarding a potential return of Rolex’s Coke GMT Master-II, prompted by Tudor’s offerings. However, recent insights from my colleague Andy Hoffman’s compelling coverage of Tudor in Bloomberg Businessweek suggest that Tudor is increasingly distancing itself from its parent brand, making it challenging to extrapolate trends between the two.
Another standout from Tudor was an 18-karat yellow gold Black Bay 58, exuding understated elegance with its olive-green dial. Yet, its subdued demeanor, reminiscent of Tudor’s bronze replica watches, raises questions amidst the prevailing preference for flashy yellow gold.
Patek Philippe’s highlight for the fair was a World Time with an integrated date display, synchronized with the chosen home city at 12 o’clock – an ingenious feature, albeit of limited practicality. Additionally, their Golden Ellipse in rose gold garnered significant attention, particularly for its nostalgic chain bracelet – a delightful nod to the 1970s era of design.
My subsequent meeting with Rolex unveiled their latest offerings, including the subdued black-and-gray bezel GMT-Master II and the ostentatious Deepsea in full yellow gold with a blue dial – a technical marvel capable of withstanding extreme depths, albeit with a hefty price tag and undeniable flamboyance.
Venturing beyond the familiar, I engaged with Elie Bernheim, CEO of Raymond Weil, to explore their approachably priced, well-crafted timepieces. With an annual output of approximately 80,000 fake watches and an average price of $2,000, Raymond Weil specializes in sector dials, offering a gateway into Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship.
Norqain, making its debut at the fair, injected vibrancy into its Wild One Skeleton collection with bold colors in Norteq carbon fiber – a move amplified by celebrity endorsement from Stan Wawrinka.

Ulysse Nardin captivated with the Freak S Nomad, limited to 99 pieces and featuring a mesmerizing diamond guilloché dial – a testament to their innovative spirit.
Bremont, under new leadership, unveiled a revamped brand identity and introduced the Terra Nova collection – a departure from their sea-themed Supermarine line, eliciting mixed reactions from loyalists.

Nomos Glashütte showcased their Tangente with 31 quirky color combinations, celebrating 175 years of watchmaking in Glashütte – a testament to their commitment to innovation and design.
Jaeger-LeCoultre presented the Duometre Heliotourbillon Perpetual, showcasing their patented Duometre system and a mesmerizing three-axis tourbillon alongside a perpetual calendar.
Parmigiani revisited its Toric line, emphasizing exquisite metal and color combinations, while preserving its signature manually wound gold movements.

Watches and Wonders 2024 showcased a diverse array of horological innovations and timeless designs, reaffirming the enduring allure of fine timepieces in an ever-evolving industry landscape.

The Rolex Cellini collection stands as a testament to the timeless artistry and precision of Rolex craftsmanship, drawing inspiration from the legacy of the Italian goldsmith, artist, and sculptor, Benvenuto Cellini. This collection embodies classic watchmaking with its elegant lines and intricate designs, showcasing a departure from Rolex’s tool watches towards a more refined aesthetic.

Introduced in the late 1960s, the Cellini collection marked a significant shift for Rolex, focusing on aesthetic grace and luxury materials rather than utilitarian functionality. Named after Benvenuto Cellini, each watch in the collection seeks to capture the elegance and craftsmanship associated with its namesake.

Over the decades, the Cellini collection has evolved to embrace changing design trends and preferences. From the bold, angular designs of the 1970s to the more understated rounded cases of the 1990s, each generation of Cellini watches reflects the zeitgeist of its era while maintaining Rolex’s commitment to excellence.

The collection includes iconic models such as the King Midas, famously worn by Elvis Presley, and the Cellini Prince, known for its distinctive Art Deco-inspired design. These watches, with their timeless appeal and meticulous attention to detail, have earned their place as coveted pieces among collectors and enthusiasts alike.

In 2014, replica Rolex reimagined the Cellini range with a cohesive design philosophy that emphasizes simplicity and timelessness. The modern Cellini collection comprises four models – Time, Date, Dual Time, and Moonphase – catering to both men and women with their versatile designs and refined aesthetics.

The Cellini collection also features models specifically tailored for women, such as the Cellini Cellissima, which blends classic elegance with feminine grace. These watches, adorned with diamonds and crafted from high-quality materials, offer a sophisticated accessory for any occasion.

Overall, the Rolex Cellini collection transcends gender boundaries, offering a diverse range of dress watches that appeal to both men and women. Its rich history, combined with its timeless design and impeccable craftsmanship, ensures that the Cellini collection remains a symbol of luxury and sophistication for generations to come.

Since its inception in 1963, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona has stood as the epitome of high-performance chronographs. Now, in honor of its 60th anniversary, replica Rolex introduces the “new generation” – the reference 126500. This article delves into the key upgrades of this enduring modern classic, reflecting on six decades of unparalleled legacy and racing heritage.

Movement Upgrades:  
The heart of the 126500 is its new-generation movement, the Rolex calibre 4131. Featuring a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, this self-winding movement ensures stability in varying temperatures and remarkable precision, even under shocks. With a longer power reserve of 70 hours and fewer components, it optimizes energy efficiency, showcasing Rolex’s commitment to high-performance engineering.

Quote:

“No expense has been spared in perfecting the Cosmograph’s high-performance engine.”

Case and Bracelet Refinements:
Visual refinements for the 60th anniversary include adjustments to the geometric relationship between the bezel and case sides, creating a perception of a larger case diameter. The chamfered bezel edge and an updated 18k gold Oyster bracelet with a broader layout enhance the overall aesthetics. These tweaks optimize harmony, preserving the signature sport elegance of the Daytona.

Quote:

“Tweaks to visual mass optimize harmony with the anatomically proportioned Oyster case, preserving the signature sport elegance of Rolex’s ultimate chronograph.”

Dial and Crystal Enhancements:
The 126500 introduces chromatic detailing on its signature panda dial, with silver-toned subdials for added dimension. The blue-rimmed small second sub-dial and chronograph minute counter create a striking contrast. Enhanced legibility is achieved through lumed Chromalight display, providing a long-lasting blue glow. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a proprietary anti-reflective nano-coating ensures optimum clarity and color stability.

Quote:

“The 126500’s upgrades to dial legibility and crystal resilience reinforce Daytona’s sporting traditions rooted in precise timekeeping.”

Improved Water Resistance:
Enhanced waterproofing is a hallmark of the 60th-anniversary upgrades. The monobloc Cerachrom bezel ensures impermeability, and the screw-down crown with Rolex’s Triplock system achieves 100 meters (330 feet) water resistance. This over-engineering aligns with Rolex’s commitment to durability and longevity.

Quote:

“The 126500 achieves 100 meters water resistance, doubling its previous rating, symbolizing the brand’s guiding ethos of building luxury watches engineered to last generations.”

Retains Iconic Daytona Aesthetic:
Reference 126500 maintains the iconic Daytona aesthetic while introducing subtle contemporary enhancements. The black-on-black monochrome dial, faithful case geometry, and signature features like the tachymetric scale engraved bezel and chronograph pushers showcase Rolex’s ability to evolve luxury icons with modern advancements.

Quote:

“Extraordinary cohesion between past and present forms shines – emblematic of the many dualities this chronograph icon effortlessly claims sport and prestige, history and modernity.”

Wrapping Up & Continued Legacy:
As the most coveted chronograph model, the fake Rolex Cosmograph Daytona has undergone a transformation with the introduction of the 126500. With unparalleled Swiss-made mechanical excellence, a subtly enlarged case, and a suite of technical improvements, it complements earlier models as a new prestige offering. The 126500 crystallizes the continuous evolution of an icon, destined to take up the Daytona banner for another 60 years.

Quote:

“In the coming years, this latest crown jewel in the Rolex watch collection is certain to take up the Daytona banner as the enduring face of versatile luxury chronography and further cement Rolex as the unequivocal industry leader through another generation.”
