A Guide To Choosing Your Next High Quality Replica Rolex Daytona Watches UK

It is 60 years since Rolex introduced its first Cosmograph Daytona in 1963 as the ultimate racing chronograph.

Demand for the collection has never been hotter, making it almost impossible for customers to buy any Daytona new from an authorised dealer.

The secondary market has stepped up to ensure availability for pre-owned top Rolex Daytona replica watches, with experts like Bob’s Watches ensuring that every piece they sell is precisely inspected, serviced, and authenticated by a team of Rolex experts.

It is hard to recall a time when demand was anything other than off the scale for the Rolex Daytona. It has certainly been selling on the secondary market for over-retail prices for longer than any other mass-produced watch.

But that has not always been the case. There have been decades when the collection was widely unpopular and some iterations were even considered ugly.

All that changed when Paul Newman brought his Hollywood cool and motor racing credibility to the Daytona from the 1980s onwards.

This story helped one of his own UK 1:1 Rolex fake watches break the world record auction price in 2017 when his favourite Daytona sold for $17.8 million.

The rest is modern history, with authorised dealers scoffing at new customers with the temerity to walk into one of their stores and ask to buy one.

Bob’s Watches wants to help Daytona lovers secure the perfect replica Rolex watches of their dreams, and has an extensive inventory of desirable pieces to buy right now.

Hands-On: UK AAA Replica Rolex 1908 Dress Watches With Syloxi Movement

For 2023, Rolex has released a slew of compelling new timepieces, as well as a brand new collection name with the 1908 dress watch family. The 1908 collection hearkens back to the first high quality replica Rolex wristwatches ever made and is a direct replacement of the now-discontinued Cellini collection that Rolex never got to work as well as it should have. Rolex has a long history making dress watches and model families such as Rolex Prince, Rolex Cellini, and Rolex 1908 all attempt to capture that heritage in modern products. Nevertheless, 1:1 online fake Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual family of watches typically captures most consumer attention thus leaving their dress watches in many cases as undiscovered treats for enthusiasts. What did Rolex try differently with the 1908, and how does it compare with other high-end dress watches on the market from which Rolex would very much like to capture some sales performance?

Not everyone likes the look of 2023 Rolex replica watches’ new 1908 dials, but I happen to find them quite stunning as a reminder of truly vintage wristwatch dials and what Rolex products used to be more like. The dials hearken back to a time prior to when Rolex engaged in a lot more innovative watch dial style that helps them form the more contemporary looks of the brand today. Whether or not you like the aesthetics of the 1908, the watch itself is objectively very compelling given its size and excellent new movement.

The 1908 case is similar to the best UK Rolex Cellini fake watches in many ways, but not the same. It is 39mm-wide, appreciably thinner than an Oyster case, and water-resistant to 50 meters without a screw-down crown. At launch, Rolex will offer the 1908 as the reference 52508 in 18k yellow gold and the 52509 in 18k white gold. Both models can be had with a black or opaline dial, and with a black or brown alligator strap. The high-quality, hand-stitched straps use a smart little deployant clasp developed by Rolex known as Dualclasp. It is an advanced butterfly-style clasp that has a locking internal folding segment in addition to the main locking segment. The purpose of it is to make sure the clasp doesn’t annoyingly open up while you are trying to close it around your wrist. This is a minor thing but one of the many little details that Rolex often does not overlook but that much of the competition often does.

Rolex has experimented with a variety of dress watch dials over the years. Many of them are elegant or fancy in their design, but the 1908 is much soberer, with a slightly sporty personality and a visual focus on legibility. That is much more so on the “intense white” dials that contrast better with the polished metal hands, as there is no luminant on the dial. The polished yellow or white-gold hands on the black dial version of the 1908 are still legible, but not as much in all lighting conditions. Dress watches, by nature, are never going to be quite as legible as sports copy Rolex watches for sale, but ideally, they offer a handsome personality and style to make up for it.

For horology enthusiasts, the new mechanical movement inside the Rolex 1908 family should be quite interesting. It is the in-house caliber 7140 automatic movement, and it is the first time Rolex is offering a silicon (using their Syloxi technology) balance wheel in a men’s watch. Rolex previously introduced Syloxi regulation systems in some exclusive women’s watch models and, finally, Rolex is ready to introduce its silicon parts for men’s cheap Rolex replica watches. Rolex is cautious about introducing silicon balance wheels because of the fear it will cause confusion for the metal Parachrom balance wheels. Performance between the two is similar, but Syloxi beats out Parachrom mainly due to the expanded environmental resistance so that performance remains consistent. Parachrom balance wheels can be “worked on” by a watchmaker while, if Syloxi parts are damaged, they more or less need to be entirely replaced. There are a lot of interesting arguments on both sides of the debate about balance wheels, but suffice it to say that enthusiasts should be very happy that Rolex is still trying to get people excited about this pretty useful watch accuracy and reliability technology.

The caliber 7140 automatic movement operates at 4Hz with about 66 hours of power reserve and features the time with subsidiary seconds. It is highly accurate and certified as a Rolex Superlative Chronometer. The movement is also visible through the caseback, which is very uncommon for Rolex. The movement finishing is beautiful and makes it clear that even though the luxury replica Rolex 1908 watches are hardly budget-priced, Rolex is punching high with aims to compete with products produced by Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and Breguet. For many people, it will be a novel experience to turn around Swiss made Rolex super clone watches and be able to admire the movement through the caseback.

With minor fits of fluting around the gold bezel the Rolex 1908 certainly fits into the larger brand portfolio but also represents a new face (literally) for modern perfect Rolex replica watches. Rolex will need to put some real marketing oomph behind the 1908 if it does not want this collection to have the same niche status and low-demand fate as the wholesale fake Rolex Cellini watches that came before it. Rolex has the power to do it, but it all depends on how much it wants to promote this product. I really happen to like the 1908, but I also liked the modern Cellini that came before it. I am curious to see how buyers and fans around the world react to the Rolex 1908 when they first put one on. Price for the Rolex 1908 references 52508 in 18k yellow gold is 21,000 Swiss Francs and the references 52509 in 18k white gold are 22,200 Swiss Francs.

Here Are Some Of The Crazy Nicknames Given To Famous Luxury Rolex Fake Watches UK

“Kermit.” “Stelline.” “John Player Special.” What in tarnation?

Many Swiss made Rolex replica watches have seemingly random nicknames associated with them, the meaning and derivation of which is murky to the average consumer, to say the least. We thus aim here to provide you with an efficient and free translation service that can be employed the next time you look through an auction catalog and have no idea wtf is even going on.

These nicknames aren’t like reference numbers — they generally make decent sense and aren’t pulled from the twisted mind of some 1950s-era Swiss engineer whose four-letter numerical combinations are now the bane of every human trying to wrap his mind around the vintage Rolex market from here to Timbuktu. (The “Kermit” is a 50th anniversary Rolex Submariner with a green bezel, for example. Because Kermit is green. You…you do know who Kermit is, right?)

So here’s a handy list of some of the most common watch nicknames (there are, in fact, many more) — see them a few times and they’ll start to stick in your mind. Just try not to reference them around your wife, parents, or non-watch people, or they’re likely to think that you’ve been speaking with make-believe friends again.

The Kermit

First introduced in 2003 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Submariner, the 16610LV featured a black “maxi dial” last seen nearly 20 years earlier and a green bezel, a first for the Sub. The 1:1 UK Rolex fake watches became known as the “Kermit” in celebration of a certain green muppet, and prices for this limited watch now reach well over $15,000 for good examples with box and papers (the original boxes and paperwork that came with the watch). Amazing what a little color can do for pricing.

The Hulk

Like the Kermit, but greener! First released in 2010, the 116610LV features a thicker case than that of previous models and a striking green dial in addition to a green bezel. If you dig the beefier “super case” but want a different colored dial and don’t want to pay a “greemium” (see what I did there?), you’re in luck — this is the current production case for the Sub, Sea Dweller and GMT Master II.

The Pepsi

If you know one Rolex nickname it should probably be this. It’s the first in a series of names for AAA best replica Rolex GMT Master (or GMT Master II) watches with colorways that are easily compared to colas by our brand-saturated brains. GMT Master watches use bicolored 24-hour bezels to differentiate night and daylight hours, and the name Pepsi refers to any reference, new or old, which is blue and red. This is the OG color of the now famous GMT watch as it was debuted in 1954.

The Coke

Unlike in the cola wars, in the world of Rolex, Coke follows Pepsi — at least chronologically and in terms of popularity. The Coca-Cola colors are, of course, actually red and white, but the name more or less makes sense as it conjures an image of a full bottle of the dark soft drink with its red label.

The Root Beer

Sensing a pattern? Yeah, it’s another soda, but not a specific brand — or maybe “The Root Beer” just rolls off the tongue better than “The A&W.” Rolex nicknames aren’t an exact science, and you’ll find the high quality copy Rolex Root Beer monicker applied to various GMT Master (II) watches with some use of brown in their bezels. A two-tone Root Beer Rollie (Rollie is the nickname for the brand itself) with a brown dial (reference 16753) might also be called a Clint Eastwood or Dirty Harry for the actor/character that wore one.

The Batman

Not every bicolored Rolex GMT bezel has to be named after fizzy drink. Who knew? Whatever mainstream association a color scheme conjures is fair game, and black-and-blue? Why, Batman, of course. Soda and superhero references betray the childlike zeal with which Rolex collectors enjoy their grownup hobby.

The Bluesy

What’s steel and gold and blue all over? Well, apparently not much else but a Rolex “Bluesy,” as this nickname doesn’t have any apparent cultural reference. Yes, it’s blue, but it’s a very specific nickname which applies only to a two-tone cheap Rolex Submariner replica watches with blue dial and bezel. The first Bluesy reference dates to 1985 but a modern rendition also exists in the brand’s current catalog. Perhaps even weirder than the nicknames bestowed by the public, Rolex has a lexicon of its own in which its combination of gold and steel, otherwise known as two-tone, is called Rolesor.

The John Player Special

So there are manual-wound perfect Rolex Daytona super clone watches, and then there are exotic-dial “Paul Newman” Daytonas, and then there’s this real inside-baseball-type thing — a ref. 6241 in gold with a black Paul Newman dial and seconds counter demarcated in 15, 30, 45, and 60-second intervals. The “John Player Special” moniker is a reference to the black and gold livery of John Player Special cigarettes.

The Jean-Claude Killy

Five references of the Dato-Compax, one of Swiss movements replica Rolex’s most complicated watches (triple calendar chronographs, in this case), are collectively referred to as the “Killy”: the 4768, 4767, 5036, 6036 and the 6236. Why the nickname? In the 1960s, famed skier Jean-Claude Killy became a Rolex ambassador after winning several titles, and though he never appeared wearing a Dato-Compax in any ads, he was said to own one. These are some of the rarest, mot sought after serially-produced vintage Rolexes.

The Paul Newman

Referred to as “exotic dial” references by the brand, Italian collectors began referring to these funky Daytonas as “Paul Newmans” in the 1980s after a photograph of the famed actor wearing his personal watch began making the rounds. The exotic dials were made by Singer, featured cool art deco numerals — and were a commercial flop for years. Go figure. (They spanned several references, so a “Paul Newman” could be one of several Daytona models.)

The Mil-Sub

The Military Submariner. The references 5513, 5517 and double-reference 5513/5517 are generally what folks think of when the term “Mil-Sub” comes to mind, but other issued Rolex Submariners (earlier references, for example, such as the A/6538) can also take this moniker. From 1971 through 1979, only about 1,000-1,200 of these top Rolex fake watches were produced for the British MOD and issued to SBS and SAS operators. Tell-tale signs include fully graduated bezels and circle “T” dials, though these are sometimes replaced.

The Pre-Daytona

The 6239, the first true Daytona, was introduced by Rolex in 1963, but prior to this (and concurrent, for several years), the reference 6238 was available in various case metals and dials, from 1960 through 1967. Though it features a smooth bezel and tachymeter scale printed on the dial (as opposed to on the bezel), it’s easy to see the DNA of the later China replica Rolex Daytona watches present in the Pre-Daytona.

The Paddelone

One of just two vintage Rolex fake watches for sale with triple dates and moon phases (the other being the Oyster-cased 6062), the “Padellone” (“large frying pan”) got its Italian nickname due to its oversize, flat 38mm case. Produced for a short time in the 1950s in steel, yellow or pink gold, these exceedingly rare, beautiful watches hammer for hundreds of thousands at auction.

The Stelline

Dating to the early 1950s, the 6062 features an Oyster case and triple-date complication with moon phase, one of just two vintage Rolexes to feature such a combination. Rolex then replaced the standard indices on certain 6062 dials with stars, giving rise to the Italian moniker “Stelline,” meaning “starlet.” These Rolex replica watches wholesale are rarer than hen’s teeth, and priced accordingly.
