1953 was no doubt important for Rolex and two of its well-known watch series. That year, the band released both the Submariner and the Explorer, both of which are impressive in appearance and function. However, each replica watch has seen significant evolution in its own unique way through the years. 
When the two fake watches were first released, their quality was tested immediately. Replica Rolex sponsored Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay for their expedition to Mount Everest with an Oyster Perpetual. Although the watch wasn’t under the name of Explorer at the time, it was one of the first watches to reach Everest’s peak and served as an inspiration source for the Explorer collection. Also, Submariner was sent to the deepest depths of the ocean along with Auguste Piccard. He attached the watch to his submarine’s hull and dive 3100 meters into the sea. When he resurfaced, the Submariner still performed properly.
The Explorer and Submariner quickly received their recognition as high-end tool watches. The Explorer went through several design changes during its first decade. However, in 1963, Rolex released Ref. 1016, the notable variation of the Explorer had continuously been produced for 26 years. Generally, the Submariner has remained largely unchanged since its first debut. However, same as the Explorer, the Submariner received one of its trademark aesthetic updates several years after it first launched. In 1959, Rolex released the Ref. 5512, featuring the model’s large crown and crown guards.
Both of the cheap watches have been through significant changes in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Explorer in particular. In the late 1960s, Rolex debuted the Submariner Ref. 1680, which was recognized as much more than a diver’s tool with the addition of a date function and Cyclops magnifier. The early 1970s brought about a new era for the Explorer. In 1971, Rolex released the first Explorer II with the Ref. 1655. This was believed a bold move. In the beginning, many fans of the model regarded it as an utter departure from the original and missed the fancy look and feel of the Explorer.
Nowadays, the Explorer II and the Submariner remain to be two of Rolex’s most popular models. Both models feature the durability and functionality of a tool watch with the timeless design Rolex replica are known for, making them seamlessly transition from an adventure to a night out on the town. Each of the watches has been proved durable through extreme conditions and everyday use. When a fake watch is backed by the iconic Rolex name, it’s hard to choose a favorite.

You may all focus on the new official timepiece of the tennis tournament when we embark on the 50th-anniversary edition of the US Open. Rolex is replacing Citizen, which had been a sponsor of the US Open for over many years. The popular replica Rolex is already the official timekeeper of the Australian Open and has an important and significant roster of tennis players among its ambassadors.
The white gold Rolex watch has a dark rhodium dial and fluted bezel. Should a Rolex ambassador raise the Tiffany & Co. hardware in Arthur Ashe Stadium, some of you might be sporting that Datejust? In the coming weeks, we will see close to AU$3 million in watches at the tournament, and Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic are all scheduled to play. 
As for the females, I can’t wait to see what Angelique Kerber, another German, will wear if she wins the US tournament. My guess is a white-dial fake Rolex Daytona, a piece she wore when she accepted the trophy at the Sydney International tournament earlier this year. She wore the same watch after winning Wimbledon in July.
And in doubles, American Mike Bryan, who has been the world’s No. 1 doubles player for more than eight years, is a brand ambassador for Baume & Mercier, wearing the black-dial Clifton Club.
Another female player, Elina Svitolina, the Ukrainian, who wore the Lady Marine chronometer model and ranks 7th in the world, is a Ulysse Nardin brand ambassador.
No tennis article is complete without mention of a Williams sister. It is a particular time for Serena Williams, an Audemars Piguet brand ambassador, who is making a comeback to the American Grand Slam tournament — this time last year, she was just having her first child.
I eager to see if Novak Djokovic will be sporting the brand new Breitling Premier automatic skeleton in limited edition, the first replica Breitling automatic watch ever designed for Djokovic. The fake watch is released overseas as the tournament closes. Djokovic, a brand ambassador with Breitling since 2014, doesn’t play tennis with his watch but wears it as soon as he steps off the court.
At last, I think the award for Best Brand Ambassador in Tennis should go to “that other Swiss player”. Stan Wawrinka wears his amazing Rolex replica while hitting the ball, and the watch is far from being Nadal’s featherweight tourbillon! In the past two years, Wawrinka won the US Open title while wearing a 42mm Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph in steel, a piece he wore during the entire tournament.

Rolex has been a partner with the sport of golf for 50 years or more. One of their longest-standing relationships has been with the British Open, also known as The Open Championship. The first British Open was held in 1860, making it the oldest of the four major golf tournaments and the only one played outside the United States. Over the past 3 decades, fake Rolex has boasted as the Official Timekeeper for the famous event as well as sponsored many of the players who have taken home the coveted Claret Jug. 
As Official Timekeeper, Rolex plays an important role in tracking and supervising the official rules of golf set forth by the iconic Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews. You might have noticed that reference clocks were placed throughout the court to assist with monitoring the game. This year’s 147th Open Championships is held at Carnoustie on Scotland’s Angus coast. This particular course is one of the toughest and longest in the world, measuring more than 7,400 yards in length.
As Official Timekeeper. They also sponsored several top golfers attending this year’s event. We can’t say that a Rolex replica brings good luck to a given player. However, Rolex ambassadors have a strong track record of getting a victory at The Open.
At the Carnoustie course 50 years ago, golf legend Gary Player hit one of the greatest shots of his career to land his second Claret Jug. He went on to get the third one six years later in 1974. The man was raised by a single dad who worked as a gold miner. Early in the player’s career, his father told him, “you keep working hard like this, and one day, you might even buy yourself a cheap Rolex.” And, that’s just what he did after scoring his first British Open win in 1959. As he’s enjoying retirement, you can still see him wearing an inexpensive fake Rolex, a President to be exact.
Tom Watson is another well-known player at The Open. He’s won the famous Claret Jug an unbelievable five times in a span of just nine years and will participate in this year’s tournament. Watson vowed to treat himself to a cheap Rolex watch after he earned a million dollars in winnings, and he became an official ambassador for the brand in 2011. You might spot him wearing a Daytona in post-game interviews. Famed golfer Tiger Woods is also a regular winner of the British Open. He’s gotten the title three times, in 2000, 2002, and 2008, and he’s competing in the tournament again this year. Woods has had a longstanding relationship with Rolex and recently he has been sporting a Sea-Dweller or Deepsea.

Maybe the Cellini 4243 isn’t your daily watch and of course, it is not your Rolex. This amazing fake watch is meant to accompany you to black tie events, cocktail parties, and date nights. The smooth, curvy case against a leather strap gives the inherently classy, elevated aesthetic you should match your appearance together. 
The Cellini itself is an essential piece of the fake Rolex collection, marrying the congeries high standards for timekeeping while encapsulating the heritage of watchmaking itself. Still not intrigued by this little-heard-of Rolex? Well, maybe the fact that President Barack Obama wears a Cellini will make you excited. Even though the 50509 he sported for his presidential portrait has a much more versatile, daytime feel than this gorgeous, white gold 4233 we’re looking at today.
What’s the outstanding point about this watch is the pure simplicity and elegance, and that begins with the silver face. Reflecting light and mimicking the cool, curvaceous feel of the case, the face is polished and clean. The luminous baton index hour markers outlined in white gold reach out to the center, curved, rectangular minute-markers hugging the inner bezel.
But what your eye follows around the face are the tapered sweeping hands, swinging past the cursive Cellini inscribed above 6-o’clock, and the boxy Rolex replica logo at the top. Certainly, the face is well-protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
The case seems circular at first sight, but you’ll realize it’s almost squared-off with rounded edges — the round face adding to the illusion if you are upon closer inspection. Clocking in at 38mm, the case of the Cellini 4243 is designed to sit perfectly on the wrist, large enough to catch your attention but not petite. Then there are the lugs which are small and flat, the crown not sticking far off the side either, further adding to the simplicity.
There is a manual winding movement inside the case, the Caliber 1602 which boasts 20 jewels, a 46-hour power reserve, and beats at 21,600bph. Described as the replica of Rolex’s contemporary celebration of classicism, it’s fitting to pair this contemporary heritage timepiece with a traditional manual movement.

Most people who are interested in Rolex collections have a good understanding of their legendary, multi-time zone pilot’s watch, the GMT-Master. Even though the various GMT-Master and GMT-Master II references with their soda-themed nicknames have become mainstays within the luxury collecting world, there is an extra iteration that gains far less focus: the Rolex Blueberry GMT.  
The “Blueberry” GMT-Master is necessarily just a regular reference 1675 from the 1970s that was originally fitted with an all-blue bezel insert. Different from the other colors of bezel inserts that have been available for the GMT-Master line of watches, the all-blue insert of the “Blueberry” GMT is not something that Rolex replica ever officially provided as an option at any of their regular authorized dealers.
On the contrary, the blue, GMT bezel insert was made in small numbers during the 1970s, and reserved exclusively for particular orders by select retailers and military groups – examples can be found with the UAE Air Force emblem on the dial. Exact production numbers are unknown; however since the all-blue, GMT bezel insert was never officially provided to the general public, even service replacement inserts would have existed in significantly smaller numbers than the rest of the available colors.
A very small number of the “Blueberry” GMT-Master replica watches in existence were originally fitted with their all-blue bezel inserts. Lots of reproduction “Blueberry” GMT inserts are available today; however, a huge number of the genuine all-blue inserts are not actually original to their respective watches, but rather added on later during a subsequent service or repair.
The era of fake Rolex dials pre-dates the whole window of time in which these all-blue bezel inserts were in production. As a result, all “Blueberry” GMT-Master watches will be fitted with matte dials with white text, instead of the earlier glossy gilt dials, or later era gloss dials with white gold surround for the hour markers. What’s more, the “Blueberry” GMT-Master can be found with either an all-red GMT-hand or the classic GMT-hand with the red center section; however, it should be noted that the all-red GMT-hand variant is generally considered to be less common.
Since the all-blue bezel insert is the only defining feature of the “Blueberry” GMT-Master, the price and desirability of such inserts have gone up crazily in recent years, as an increasing number of buyers have tried to secure one for their own collections.

The Rolex Oyster Chronograph replica watch is often taken as the grandfather of the Rolex Daytona. Manufactured from 1955 to 1961, it provides many of the same features as the Daytona but lacks much of its technological innovation. For instance, reference 6234 utilizes Rolex Caliber 72 with 17 jewels and column wheel construction. Therefore, reference 6234 lacks an automatic movement, as the Daytona possesses. This well-known replica must be manually wound rather than automatically winding with the flick of the wrist.
Rolex made around 500 reference 6234’s per year during its 6-year production run, averaging at a full production number of about 2300 stainless steel models and less than 150 14k and 18k gold models. The dial was also varying in design, with some watches featuring a white dial while others featured a black dial.
The three sub-dials featured on the main dial varied between some pieces as well. The three sub-dials offer a constant seconds counter at 9 o’clock, a 30 minute counter at 3 o’clock, and a 12 hour counter at 6 o’clock. These sub-dials allow the wearer to simultaneously measure speed and distance. Reference 6234 also features a tachometer scale on the outer ring and a telemeter scale for distances on the inner ring. The timepiece is topped with a plastic crystal, rather than the later synthetic sapphire crystal. Each watch is also typically finished off with an oyster riveted bracelet. Depending on the watch finish or later alteration the oyster bracelet could be made of stainless steel, 14k gold, 18k gold, or leather.
The Oyster crown is set at the 3 o’clock mark and is flanked by twin round pushers, giving the watch a sporty appearance. Though not a Daytona feature, a surprising technically innovative feature of reference 6234 is its magnetic resistance, which aids in maintaining the timepiece’s precision and accuracy. Some similarities between the later Daytona and reference 6234 include the utilization of the replica Rolex’s patented oyster case, which can withstand water pressure and remain waterproof up to 200 meters. The oyster case maintains its water-resistance through the use of three components; bezel, case body, and a screw-down case back.
The Rolex replica  Chronograph 6234 is one of the most prized vintages Rolex watches as the forerunner of the Rolex Daytona. But it does not give the convenience of automatic winding, and it does offer many wonderful features Rolex eventually incorporated into their later models. The Rolex Chronograph 6234 is a must-have piece for any Rolex collection, not only as a wonderful example of Rolex history, but as vintage, yet totally wearable watch.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 watches were debuted, which comes with two new dial colors for Rolex’s entry-level men’s watch. White and black dials were added to the assortment of four other Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 watch dials that were debuted when the replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual was newly established in 2015. Rolex chose to introduce this model with purple, olive, blue, and gray dial colors to begin with several years ago. The Oyster Perpetual 39 is available for more conservative and arguably more versatile black or white dial options. However, this is good news for those who are in the market for a brand new and entry-level Rolex.
At 39mm wide the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 is the largest of the Oyster Perpetual models that also available in smaller sizes. As a casual or dress watch, the 39mm diameter works, but if you want to go up to 40mm wide, you can spend several hundred dollars more for a fake Rolex Air-King.
Starting now in 2018 Rolex is branding the 904L steel alloy they use as “Oystersteel.” When you see that name it just means 904L, but Rolex’s particular blend of it. Rolex wants to make sure that its much cheaper steel replica watches which can cost thousands more than the Oyster Perpetual 39 have more complex case finishing – and that is true.
Both the replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 and Explorer contain the in-house made automatic Rolex Calibre 3132 time-only (no date) movement. The Air-King still uses the older Calibre 3131, which has been upgraded with a bit more performance features in the caliber 3132. Operating at 4Hz the movement has about two days of power reserve.
As an Oyster collection watch, the case of this model is water-resistant to 100m, has a screw-down crown, and is covered with a sapphire crystal. With the addition of the black or white dial option, the Oyster Perpetual 39 suddenly has gained a lot more appeal for Rolex brand traditionalists who don’t look to the brand for trendy colors. I think it is wonderful that the Rolex replica makes the Oyster Perpetual 39 available as a more fashionable timepiece, but for me, the white or black dials are going to be appealing to most male buyers, more so than the existing dial colors.
As a matter of fact, I don’ like falling back on conservatism to make product recommendations as it would be interesting to see more people out there with purple and green watch dials. With that said, I know white or black watch dial choices tend to be a bit more widely appealing and for that reason, I think it was a good idea for the fake Rolex to introduce the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 in the black and white dial variants.

The release of the popular replica Rolex Sea-Dweller last year – with its single line of red text – brought a large number of focuses back towards Rolex’s line of deep-sea, saturation diving watches. Even though the helium gas escape valve has become the defining feature of the Sea-Dweller line, the very first fake Rolex model to be full of it was actually a Submariner that was used as prototypes while Rolex worked with the French diving company, COMEX, to upgrade the design of their gas release valve. 
All early examples of this fake Sea-Dweller were originally equipped dials with red text on them; however, as for the amazing vintage Sea-Dweller watches, a dial with one line of red text is not the same as a dial with two lines of red letters.
The very first watches to bear the “Sea-Dweller” name were the prototypes that were used for field-tests during the early Tektite projects, in which divers would spend multiple days living in a pressurized chamber below the surface of the ocean. These fake watches have both the “Submariner” and “Sea-Dweller” names printed on their dials; however, on these early prototypes, it is only the Sea-Dweller name that appears in red letters. What’s more, next to the Submariner name, a depth rating of “500 M – 1650 FT” is also printed in white text.
It’s very funny to see that many of these Single Red Sea-Dweller watches did not have helium gas escape valves, since the issue with trapped helium molecules only occurs at greater depths when divers are living in helium-saturated environments for extended periods of time. Different from the modern Sea-Dweller 126600 which is mass-manufactured, only about a dozen of these watches were ever made, and all were given to divers that had been handpicked to receive them for either testing purposes or as awards. Due to how few were ever manufactured, Single Red Rolex Sea-Dweller replica watches are extremely rare and command unbelievable premiums whenever they manage to surface at auction.
When the fake Sea-Dweller was first launched to the public, the fake watch was originally fitted with a dial that still had red lettering; however, it was the addition of a second line of red text that separated it from the small batch of prototypes that had come before it. These “Double Red” Sea-Dweller watches have the names, “Sea-Dweller” and “Submariner 2000” printed on their dials in red text, below which, a depth rating of “2000 ft = 610 m” appears in white.
The Double Red Sea-Dweller was made for roughly the first 10 years of the fake watch’s existence; however, some of these replica watches have their original “Double Red” dials replaced with later-era equivalents that feature all-white text and do not have the “Submariner 2000” name printed on them at all. Even though they are becoming quite hard to find in all-original condition, Double Red Sea-Dwellers are actually more common than the prototype Single Red Sea-Dweller watches that preceded them.

Some of the vintage watches we rarely talk about from Rolex’s long and illustrious history are their early self-winding fake watches, affectionately nicknamed “Bubble Backs” by members of the collecting world. Although they were not particularly designed for some demanding sport or an inhospitable environment, the Rolex Bubble Back represents the basic, self-winding template that all modern Rolex watches would come to follow. 
Rolex’s Bubble Back replica watches get their nickname from their extremely rounded, protruding case-backs. Although greatly interesting from a design standpoint, the Bubble Back design was actually born out of necessity as an efficient means to house Rolex’s thicker, self-winding movements.
It was during the 1930s that the Rolex first began fitting their watches with automatic movements, rather than the manually wound calibers that had been traditionally used in their watches. The addition of the oscillation weight significantly increased the overall thickness of the movement and required extra clearance for the rotor to move freely inside the case. Rather than making the entire case of the watch larger, the fake Rolex decided to allow the case-back to protrude in a curved, bubble-shaped fashion.
By today’s standards, the replica Rolex Bubble Back watches are rather antiquated in design. Case diameters are relatively small and typically hover around 30 mm to 32 mm for the classic men’s models. Besides, because of their domed acrylic crystals and convex, protruding case-backs, Bubble Back watches are disproportionally thick in an almost egg-like fashion.
Although their large, dome-shaped case-backs have earned these watches several different nicknames all over the years, the “Bubble Back” name is probably the most well known and commonly used today. The small case diameter and relatively large overall thickness combine to make a somewhat awkward and strangely proportioned, egg-shaped watch; however, Bubble Backs represents an early and important time in Rolex’s history, when the company was first starting to refine their self-winding watch movements.
Nowadays, all Rolex fake watches are fitted with automatic-winding calibers; however, they can trace their root DNA back to the original Bubble Back watches that Rolex first introduced during the early 1930s. Almost every watch that the Rolex replica now makes has the word “Perpetual” printed on the surface of its dial, and it was these early Bubble Back replica watches that were the first to receive the Rolex’s inaugural, self-winding movements.
