Rolex Sky-Dweller watch with Jubilee bracelet

As the brand does every year, 2022 sees Rolex introduce a series of new model line extensions to its popular watches. In the Sky-Dweller collection, we watch lovers get six new models, each paired with Rolex’s Jubilee-style multi-link bracelet. The new 2022 Rolex Sky-Dweller replica watches consist primarily of steel models, as well as a two-tone Rolesor version.
This is a great chance to mention that while the current generation of Rolex Datejust 41 and Sky-Dweller differ in size by 1mm on paper, in my opinion the 42mm wide Sky-Dweller is the larger, thicker watch that is best suited for larger wrist sizes. The price difference between these two models isn’t incredible either, although both are hard to come by from a 2022 perspective. My guess is that the Sky-Dweller will still be harder to obtain today than the Datejust due to it being a lower volume product. 

Inside the Sky-Dweller is a complex Rolex in-house made 9001 automatic movements. With the exception of the chronograph movement inside the Daytona watch, this is the most complex mechanical movement replica Rolex currently produces. The self-winding caliber 9001 features the time, a GMT indicator, and an annual calendar that displays both the date and the month. This 4 Hz running frequency movement provides a power reserve of approximately 3 days and features one of Rolex’s most interesting systems of movement regulation functions, using a bezel Rolex calls the “Ring Command”. I previously reviewed the Rolex Sky-Dweller watch here and here I talk more about the movement and wearing this interesting line of Rolex models.
The Rolex Sky-Dweller may be the brand’s most “watch friendly” offering, but it has always struggled with its own design themes. Early versions of the Sky-Dweller dial were not universally loved, and over time Rolex has made significant improvements to the dial. The problem is that the Sky-Dweller design, in addition to gaining its own personality, incorporates many elements from other fake Rolex models by incorporating Rolex’s more generic design DNA.
The GMT-Master maybe for people who fly airplanes, but the Sky-Dweller is actually for people who fly a lot. The world has changed a lot since Rolex originally introduced the Sky-Dweller line a few years ago, and it took a little longer for the Sky-Dweller to really make its mark on Rolex’s cherished themed pantheon. Until then, I appreciate the niche appeal of the Sky-Dweller and its excellent mechanism. It may be a bigger watch, but there is certainly a market for this.

Replica Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN Black Review

After years of popularity for Rolex Daytona chronographs, some of the most popular models have been replaced by enhanced versions with only minor aesthetic differences.
Today, we’re reviewing the copy Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference number 116500LN Black, which replaces the 116520 Black model, which was the Rolex Daytona’s preferred stainless steel and black dial for many years.
Let’s break down the replica watch‘s features one by one in a detailed review that’s easy to read and navigate.
The most obvious difference between the two models is the addition of the black ceramic “Cerachrom” bezel. This new and improved fixed bezel is highly scratch-resistant, excellently resistant to corrosion, and unaffected by UV fading. Compared to its predecessor in polished stainless steel, the black bezel now gives the impression that it is a larger dial.
A few things about the bezel design have also changed. Namely, the lettering engraved on the tachymeter scale is bolder and more legible and is filled with platinum PVD. Another subtle difference in the bezel is the use of triangles instead of dots under the tachymeter numbers.
The numerals on the tachymeter can now also be rotated around the bezel and are no longer displayed horizontally as they were on previous models. A lot of thought went into the redesign of the bezel, and it has been well received by replica Rolex Daytona fans everywhere.
The 40mm x 12.4mm thick Oyster case is made of Rolex’s corrosion-resistant super alloy 904L steel, which retains its luster better than standard stainless steel. While 904L steel is not necessarily the hardest steel alloy known to man, it does retain its luster better than other materials, making it the perfect material for Rolex. Other manufacturers cannot afford to use this more expensive steel and therefore often produce cases for them. Since Rolex produces all of their components in-house, they have an advantage.
As the world’s first waterproof case, the Oyster case has become almost synonymous with fake Rolex. The patented “Oyster” case has been one of Rolex’s distinguishing marks and has been around since its conception in 1926. A system that fastens and locks the monolithic middle case by means of a screw-down bezel, a screw-down case-back, and a screw-down crown. Using this “Triplock” locking system, Daytona’s cases are as securely water-resistant as a submarine hatch, with a minimum water-resistance rating of 100 meters/300 feet.
While you’ll see this “Oyster” case used on nearly all non-chronograph Rolex Sports models, Daytona added screw-in sleeves to protect the pushers of the stopwatch function.

Rolex Submariner Sunburst Blue vs Flat Blue Dial

As Rolex will never make the Submariner 11613LB, this two-tone dive watch is only available from the secondary market. The blue pre-owned Submariner 116613 is usually a little more expensive than the black variant, which is identical in every way except for the color of the dial and bezel. This is particularly interesting since both replica watches retailed for the exact same price at the time of production. 
If you want a fancier version of Rolex’s legendary SCUBA dive watch, but don’t want to commit to a solid gold timepiece for everyday wear and use, the Rolex Submariner 116613LB’s Rising Sun Blue dial is a great choice, combining durable stainless steel and bright 18k yellow gold to create a look that is both sturdy and luxurious.
A Rolex staple since the 1980s, each generation of the two-tone Rolesor Submariner has offered an option of black or blue dials and bezel inserts. While the black look is slightly more formal and versatile, the blue version adds a nautical aesthetic, a constant reminder that replica Rolex designed the Submariner for serious water use.
One of the signature features of the Rolex Submariner with its blue dial is its sunburst finish, which consists of subtle lines radiating outward from the center, giving it a certain iridescent quality that changes its color in a prismatic fashion as it catches the incoming light from different angles. So it was a surprising move when Rolex’s Submariner Ref. 116613LB made its debut at Baselworld 2009 with a blue dial that was no longer sunburst but flat – similar to that of the white gold “Smurf” Submariner 116619LB.
The rationale for the adjustment is that the flat blue dial better complements the shade of the blue Cerachrom bezel. While some people appreciate the look of the flat blue dial, most regret the loss of the dynamic sunburst blue option. The sunburst option was missed so much that fake Rolex brought back the sunburst blue dial in 2013 for the reference 116613LB, which will remain in production until the end of the watch’s production run in 2020.
It is worth noting that the flat blue dial has diamond hour markers, while the sunburst blue dial does not. The style and finish of the blue sunburst submarine dial are very similar to the silver or champagne dials often found in several other Rolex non-sports fake watch collections; however, when the dial is mounted inside the watch, its rich blue color and white hour markers are outlined in gold create the illusion of greater depth.

Test on the Luxury Rolex GMT-Master II

Rolex has upgraded its popular travel watch, the GMT-Master II, in stainless steel with a blue and black “Batman” bezel. We tested one of the first pieces with a Jubilee bracelet and a new movement in this feature.
The blue and black color scheme on the bezel of this fake Rolex GMT-Master II has led its fans to call it “Batman”. The current version comes with a Jubilee bracelet and a new movement, launching in 2019. Its predecessor in the same colors as these appeared in 2013 and was the first Rolex model to feature a two-tone ceramic bezel. This particular color combination did not exist before; the first GMT-Master II in 1954 featured a blue and red 24-hour scale, and later became known as the “Pepsi” because of this color combination.
Today, the GMT-Master II in steel is available in two versions that differ only in the color of the bezel: the Pepsi and the Batman, our test watch. Both feature a new movement and the five-row Jubilee bracelet was once reserved only for the Datejust model. Rolex previously equipped the GMT-Master II Gold and Rolesor (steel and gold) GMT-Master II models with a sportier three-row Oyster bracelet. Replica Rolex designed the Jubilee bracelet for the Datejust in 1945, but as early as 1959, the GMT-Master was also available with a Jubilee bracelet as an option. Like the GMT-Master II’s Oyster bracelet, the inner links are polished and the outer links are brushed.
These colors were originally chosen to more clearly distinguish day and night times in a second-time zone. These and other specifications originated with Pan Am, who requested this model. New jet aircraft made intercontinental flights shorter and more popular, and as the number of flights increased, so did the demand for cheap replica watches with dual time zone capability. The popularity of the GMT-Master came from its pilot’s watch style and colorful, instantly recognizable bezel. Later, there were reserved versions such as the black and red “Coke” model.
The Jubilee bracelet is very comfortable to wear. The small links fit snugly around the wrist and do not pull on the delicate wrist hair. The Oyster bracelet is also comfortable thanks to its curved links. The bracelet and case are still made of non-corrosive 904L stainless steel, which Rolex has recently started calling “Oystersteel”.

Popular Rolex GMT-Master II Root Beer

When Rolex released its updated Root Beer bezel in 2018, it really reinvigorated collectors’ admiration for this unique timepiece. For starters, we hadn’t seen a Root Beer GMT in over a decade, and while it was never the most popular GMT model among collectors, it was appreciated for its unique aesthetic and the mark it left on the collection. So when replica Rolex reintroduced the Root Beer Bezel in 2018, many were shocked to see its return.
Of course, the new Rolex GMT-Master II Root Beer ref. 126711CHNR has been brought into the 21st century with some much-needed updates. The two-tone configuration of gold has been replaced with stainless steel and Everose gold for a warmer and more modern look. In addition, the two-way ceramic bezel is now black and brown with recessed Everoe gold numerals, rather than half brown and half gold, and made of anodized aluminum like all previous iterations.
With this in mind, the biggest and most notable upgrade to the bezel is the use of Rolex’s proprietary ceramic material, which the brand calls Cerachrom. Looking at some of the earlier root beer bezels made from aluminum, one can see that many of them have suffered from scratches and fading over the years. By using this new, incredibly durable, and fade-resistant ceramic material for the bezel, a fake Rolex watch was able to ensure that these warm colors would last more or less indefinitely. The two-tone Root Beer bezel made of ceramic is also noteworthy because it is extremely difficult to manufacture. Rolex could have just gone with an all-brown Cerachrom bezel, so the effort to return to a two-tone bezel, but in more modern colors and materials, is certainly noteworthy.
The dial has also received a much-needed upgrade. Instead of a brown sunburst as before, the dial is glossy black with Everose gold markers applied and filled with luminescent blue Chromalight luminosity. Of course, Mercedes’s hands are still there, but these are now also made of Everose gold and treated with Chromalight. While some people like the inherently retro feel of the warm brown dial on the old Root Beer GMT, the glossy black dial on the new 126711CHNR reference certainly provides the watch with a more modern overall look.
It’s a watch to behold, as brown is still an unlikely color to be found on a watch. However, the way it combines with the lacquered black dial and warm 18k Everose gold makes it feel effortlessly sleek and modern. Of course, years from now, it’s possible to look back at this Ref. 126711CHNR and marvel at it. The 126711CHNR has the same vintage aesthetic that we’ve come to associate with the Ref. 1675/3. However, it represents the classic Root Beer GMT-Master in true modern style, and it is another example of how Rolex continues to push forward and innovate without forgetting the past.

Patek Philippe postpones all watch launches

In any other year, Patek Philippe bringing forward its entire 2021 launch schedule by a year would be news that would shake up the global watch industry.
But these are not normal times. Patek Philippe shared the decision with its retail partners earlier this week and it was welcomed as a common-sense response to the global lockdown caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Baselworld has been postponed until 2021, replica Patek Philippe‘s factories are running in maintenance mode for the foreseeable future, its headquarters and in-country distribution offices are actually not open, and so are the doors of almost all its retail partners. Distribution has ground to a standstill.
In the circumstances, switching any capacity up and down the supply chain and distribution channel to the creation, launch, and sale of new collections would simply add to the strain.
None of the retailers who shared the news of Patek Philippe’s decision wanted to go on the record, and the public as online from the brand remains that “it will not launch the new models in April this year originally planned”.
One retailer said it was another example of how Patek Philippe cares for and appreciates the requirements of its partners. He said that the brand had also relaxed payment terms on invoices to relieve pressure on cashflow.
They are crucial, he stressed, because they generate excitement among retailers and customers. But with everybody’s health and financial security much more important right now, the decision to delay looks prudent and of minimal risk to Patek Philippe and others that follow the same strategy.
For brands like Patek Philippe, fake Rolex, and Audemars Piguet, whose waiting lists for some of their unicorn watches are usually long, the year-long delay in releasing a new style may have allowed them to shift resources to producing more top-selling watches.
That could allow sales of these hugely popular watches to catch up quickly, which would be a big help to retailers and lift the spirits of watch consumers who have been on waiting lists for years.

How to Get Rare Rolex Models

You might say that every Rolex is hard to find — the famous Swiss watchmaker makes only a limited number of watches each year, and even the cheapest example sells for thousands of dollars. However, there are some Rolex models that are really hard to source.
While getting your hands on brand new, in-production Rolex watches often requires a waitlist at retailers, tracking down a particular discontinued or vintage model can sometimes feel impossible. Worse, you may not be the only one looking for hard-to-find models, which makes it even harder to find reasonable examples.
Given all this, it’s perhaps not surprising that collectors ask us one of the most frequent questions about how they get the hard-to-get Rolex that everyone wants. Today, we’re going to break down all your options, along with some of the things you should avoid to ensure that you get the Rolex model you want without getting cheated.
For desirable current-production Rolex watches, you need to put your name on a waiting list at a Rolex boutique or an authorized retailer. These lists can be years in length, and they don’t always ensure that you will even get one before Rolex stops making the model altogether – which you know can happen without any warning. However, if you want a brand-new model with the full Rolex factory warranty, this is still the only way to do it.
Before the internet, local dealers were the go-to way to track down the hard to find Rolex models, mostly because they were the most trusted and connected. And if you have a particularly good relationship with your local dealer who sells pre-owned Rolex models, it can still be a good option. However, you have to be near the top of the list to make sure you get it, and chances are you’re not the only one.
Today, the most efficient way to find a Rolex model is through a digital dealer. First and foremost, you won’t be relegated to a long waiting list with others looking for exactly the same pattern. As long as the watches are on sale, anyone browsing websites and digital catalogues can snap them up. Second, it removes barriers to the border, allowing you to buy from a trusted dealer that you might not otherwise have touched in your area.
Actually, for instance, sources hard to find Rolex watches from all around the world, giving our customers the widest selection on the market. And on our secure and trusted website, you can browse and order our certified pre-owned Rolex watches, which are all in-stock and available for immediate purchase. Moreover, we sometimes even get completely unworn Rolex watches, with their original packaging and boxes and paper, which is a great way to get around long waiting lists.

Ever Cheap Rolex Datejust and Rolex Air-King

The Rolex Datejust is a true industry icon and the best-selling Rolex model of all time. First introduced in 1945, the Datejust permanently established the standard for date displays on wristwatches, and it has been a cornerstone offering within the Rolex catalog ever since. Due to its long history and continuous production operations, a considerable number of examples exist today, many of which can still be purchased on the secondary market for less than $6,000.  rolex
One of the great things about the Rolex Datejust is the remarkably wide range of diversity that exists within this single collection due to how long it has been in production and its enduring popularity all over the years. Along with both trendy and vintage models, you will also find Rolex Datejust watches in a variety of different sizes, crafted from a number of different materials, and fitted with an impossibly diverse assortment of different dials, bezels, and bracelets.
Not all Rolex Datejust models can be ordered for under $5,000 and generally speaking, modern Datejust watches and those made from valuable metals will typically be the most expensive. However, there are still quite a few different references – especially those made between the 1960s and 1990s – available for less than $6,000, and you can even opt for the iconic two-color model, which features stainless steel and gold components
The Rolex Air-King is another historic model that can often be seen for well below the $6,000 price point. The Air-King collection was first officially launched in 1957, but the actual first use of the ‘Air-King’ name on replica Rolex watches dates all the way back to the 1940s. Although the series was briefly discontinued between 2014 and 2016, the very long production cycle of the Rolex Air-King means there are still plenty of products available in the secondary market at very reasonable prices.
The longest-running reference from the collection’s history is the ref. 5500. This historic model holds the distinction of being the first official Air-King reference from 1957 and it remained available all the way up until the early 1990s. Vintage Rolex prices can often be extremely expensive, especially for inaugural references. However, because of the incredibly long production period of the ref. 5500 and the numerous examples available on the market today, it is actually one of the cheapest fake Rolex models currently available.
What’s more, the huge majority of 34mm Rolex Air-King models can be found for under $5,000, giving you the option of either having a vintage or modern watch. All Rolex Air-King models produced up until the collection’s releasement in 2016 have case diameters of 34mm, meaning that the vast majority of references from the collection’s entire history will be on the table at a very inexpensive price.

Battle for the blue Seiko Watch

At The heart of Seiko’s 2018 Prospex collection is the new blue ‘Save The Ocean’ series. It continues the recent black collection and blue lagoon. But while last year’s limited edition was a cosmetic update, the release of save the ocean had an element of social responsibility. Seiko has teamed up with Fabien Cousteau to raise funds and awareness for his Ocean Learning Centre. Fabien Cousteau himself is a Marine conservationist. This increased awareness includes highlighting healthy and less healthy Marine environments in several Australian cities. So, not only do these watches look right, they also look right.  
Firstly, aside from the dial and bezel, this watch is pretty much identical to its regular release brethren. So, you’re getting the same angular, slightly blocky steel case, with solid proportions of 43.8mm across and 12.82mm tall — with a neatly knurled crown at three and fairly pointy guards. One point of difference between this and the regular Samurai models is that the bezel and crown here have been given a black treatment, which is a beautiful touch. The Turtle is a design that looks to the past. It’s softer, rounded and more classic. The Samurai is much more modern in feel. And while they both represent different sides of the same coin, to my mind the Samurai is the more conservative, and arguably the more versatile offering.
Here’s where it starts getting fun. As far as the fake rolex watches limited-edition dials go, this one is pretty out-there, in the best way possible. It’s a graduated bright-aqua-to-almost-black dial, evoking how the sea changes color the deeper it gets. On its own, this is a powerful enough look, but Seiko adds some distinctive, organic, horizontal stripes, similar to the wave or distinctive abdominal folds on the strong blue whale chin. The aluminium bezel is of a matching blue to the dial, predominantly dark blue, with the first 15 minutes of hash marks a lighter shade. This is a unique dial.
The bracelet fits perfectly in price, but if it were my watch, I would probably put it on cloth or rubber to offset the weight. I like the fact that any belt change is relatively simple due to drilling.
The Samurai has always been a tank on the wrist, and this Save the Ocean edition feels the same. But it does look different. It’s one of the most stylish Seiko replica watches I’ve ever worn, and the quality makes you smile when you look at it. As I said above, it’s not the least noticeable look, but why?

Most Underrated Rolex Replica

modern Rolex

Over the past few years, the level of hype surrounding the Rolex sports model has increased significantly, both old and new. Some are taken for granted, while others are more controversial. This creates a huge shadow under which references that are easier to obtain or phase out will be forced to disappear. Take a closer look at these forgotten models and you’ll find some really underrated references that are likely to be rather cheap and, in the coming years, likely to be the center of attention. Let’s see more details below. Rolex sports model
When Rolex launched the newest Explorer II ref. 216570 in 2011, there was much fanfare around the return of the orange 24-hour hand, itself a nod to the reference 1655 “Freccione” Explorer II of the 1970s. The new Explorer II replaced the outgoing reference 16570, a replica watch that had the small hour markers, smaller case, no orange 24-hour hand, and a suddenly dated appearance. But, on the wrist, a different story is taking shape. The 16570 may not have much in the way of throwback design, but it does have throwback charm in how it wears, in other words, slim on the wrist in both diameter and case thickness. This is because of the 16750’s long production period, which began in the ’80s, well before all the “big watch” nonsense took hold in the mid-2000s. Yep, you can even find examples with tritium dials.
The white or “Polar” dial is a fan favorite with its contrasting black house surrounds and hands, and happens to look good on pretty much any style of strap you dare throw on it. There’s a lot more history there than we’ve gone into here, but if you’re interested in learning more about these watches, read Philipp Stahl’s article. Before the fake rolex actually owned any tool table, the corner chart was a reference to the rotating border with the time limit, making it an ideal tool table. It was even used by Thunderbirds, the US air force, to make the brand’s first military watches.
The Rolex Air-King is an often misunderstood model, but the latest addition to the family, the ref. 116900, is unique in some ways. The Air-King has traditionally been the entry-level Rolex, offered in time-only configurations with a chronometer movement and a bit of water resistance thrown in for good measure. It’s basically Rolex hallmarks boiled down to its simplest form.  
There’s also the green seconds hand and Rolex signage, and the retro “Air-King” label at 6 o’clock—this isn’t your average Rolex. That funky personality may take a while to sink in, but it’s also what makes this a truly special watch from a brand not known for their progressive nature.
Being a modern replica Rolex, you’ll find many of the amenities that come with it, such as the 3131 movement inside, the magnetic resistance, Chromalight on the dial—all the usual suspects. Will these ever be future classics? In addition, they are a great way to stand out in a room full of Submarines and Daytona
