Today I will talk about classics and tradition. It’s been a long time since I’ve done reviews on classic replica timepieces. I admit that lately I have been caught by the more modern models. This is because we are right on the verge of summer and the community is obsessed with vibrant colors and dynamic styles.
However, I will take a break from these models, and today I will review the latest Rolex Day Date replica watch that we recently received in our AAAReplica stock. It is a replica that steals glances and that immediately stood out among the multitude of other replica watches that came together with it in our stock.
Holding this watch in my hand, I admit that I immersed myself in an atmosphere of elegance and tradition. It is a solemn watch, I admit that. And it is probably not a suitable model for summer walks on the beach. However, if you have planned some cocktail nights or more solid events, I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t fit into the context.
So, today we are talking about the Rolex Day Date Yellow Gold Roman numerals replica watch. It is the last version from the last release of the factory with which we have been collaborating recently. I will address today what is good and what is bad in it (if any). Also, I will discuss the improvement it comes with compared to the replica model from the previous release. As a rule, manufacturers tend to offer aesthetic upgrades and technical improvements with each release. So, I guess I will only find benefits in this knockoff. With this positive introductory note, let’s move on to the details.
Materials
I will start with the description of the materials so that you understand what kind of knockoff we are dealing with today. As a rule, manufacturers offer a wide variety of replica watches, each of a certain quality standard. Today’s model refers to the highest possible quality level. The case as well as its bracelet is made of 904l stainless steel. It has an extremely smooth and very attractive finish from any perspective you look at it.
The manufacturers have come up with a special upgrade for this watch. It is about a coating with 18K yellow gold and titanium nitride heavy wrap, which is an absolute novelty for our store. I have to admit that this technique brings a totally different aesthetic aspect compared to previous replicas with traditional processing. And the surface of the case and the bracelet has a specific gloss that plays elegantly under different angles.
Further on…
Let’s move on to the crystal aspect. As you can probably intuit, we are talking about a sapphire crystal of the last generation. The manufacturers call it “Smoothsap 2 Swiss-made scratch-proof anti-reflective sapphire”. I have not met this name in any previous replica watch in our store. So, the term is new even for me. But what I can say is that visually, I don’t notice much difference between this crystal and the other sapphire crystals from previous Rolex replicas.
Probably the new crystal standard does not refer to an aesthetic improvement. Instead, it refers to an upgrade of resistance and anti-reflective properties. In general, the dial looks clean and can be seen perfectly through the prism of this type of crystal. When I look at the dial, I practically don’t even notice the crystal due to its transparency and lack of light reflection.
In the same context…
As you can see in the picture of this Rolex replica watch, it has a date window with a magnifying lens. The cyclops magnifies the window by 2.5X. And its increase is as authentic as possible. Do you remember this Rolex model from the previous release? Its cyclops only increased by 1.5X, which did not correspond to the original model. With today’s replica watch, this error has been successfully removed and the date aperture looks closer to the truth than ever.
The bottom line regarding the materials is that they are of the highest quality so far. I can only applaud the efforts of the manufacturers. That’s because they managed to bring together the best steel, the most optimal sapphire crystal, as well as the best finish in the industry in this replica watch.
Weight, diameter, and water resistance profile
Let’s move on to more technical details. I admit that my first impression of this replica watch was extremely positive. Truly speaking, I couldn’t believe that everything was as flawless as it seemed. I decided to go deeper into the details to find at least one flaw. So, I started to compare the dimensions of this replica with the original model.
Nope, I didn’t find any differences here either. This replica watch is 40mm in size, which is identical to the original model. Generally speaking, 40 mm watches are the most universal, from my point of view. They are neither too small nor too big. They fit perfectly both on a massive wrist and a thinner one. So, it is unlikely that this knockoff will not fit on your wrist.
As for its weight…
Unfortunately, I don’t have an authentic watch to compare it to this knockoff. So, I had to do a Google search to see how much it weighs. Then I compared the weight to that of the replica watch in my hands. It will sound incredible, but the weight of the knockoff is only 0.5 g lighter. I was amazed by the precision of the execution of this knockoff, even in terms of its weight.
If you are interested in the water resistance profile…
Know that you will be amazed, as I was. The manufacturers assured me that the knockoff is resistant up to 100 meters. I said to myself “ok, most of the manufacturers claim that their knockoffs hold up superbly in water”. And I didn’t give much credence to their promises. I decided to test the replica watch. Thus, I took a shower with it on my wrist for a week. I swam in the pool with it every day for a week. I did everything I could to check its water resistance, promising my manager that I would pay for it if it somehow got damaged.
To my amazement, the condition of the replica watch remained completely intact. It continues to work and tick exactly like on the first day. I do not notice any failure in it, neither in its functionality nor in its aesthetics. Also, I did not detect any traces of moisture inside it, as usually happens with lower-quality replicas. The only thing I could not test is the diving conditions at a slightly greater depth. I didn’t have any escapades to the ocean, unfortunately. Therefore, I cannot say that the knockoff withstands great depths. But at least, I was pleased with how it “behaves” in normal water conditions. The water did not affect it in any way.
Dial and bezel
Let’s move on to the delicious part from an aesthetic point of view. Honestly speaking, I think that the dial and the bezel are the most delicate elements in this knockoff. That’s not just because their design is extremely delicate per se. But also because the manufacturers were very attentive to details in the execution process.
The specific feature of the bezel is its fluted structure. The edges of the bezel are perfectly uniform, without any defects between them. The fluted texture is not “aggressive” at all, as we saw in the previous replica timepieces. The transition between teeth is much more delicate and smooth, which speaks of superior execution.
As for the dial…
It illustrates a fusion between minimalism and aristocracy. Everything looks clean, balanced, and extremely refined on the dial plate. Instead of the 12 o’clock marker, I notice the day window in a gorgeous frame. The writings have a size and font identical to the authentic ones.
Roman hour markers complete the refinement and delicacy of the hour and minute hands. All these symbols have a thin silhouette in golden tones, conveying an aristocratic and solid vibe. The dial looks stunningly rich due to the abundance of gold in it. At the same time, the minimalism of the design turns it into an elegant and gorgeous piece.
I cannot deny the fact that the bracelet of this knockoff plays a no less important role. Its architecture adds aesthetic flavor to the whole picture. Maybe the description seems too sugarcoated. And I do not rule out that it may seem too subjective to you. But honestly speaking, I can’t find other words to convey the specific charisma of this knockoff. Definitely, one of the most successful replica watches in the Rolex range.
Movement
I will be very brief on this aspect. That’s because I don’t have much to say. The quality of the movement speaks for itself. The replica watch runs on the basis of an ultra-durable in-house Swiss-made clone Rolex 3255 movement. And that says it all. I think it is unnecessary to mention that the internal mechanism works with extremely promising precision. This is because it is designed to operate as similarly as possible to the authentic mechanism.
Bottom line
Is this a cheap knockoff? No, it is not. Is this knockoff expensive? It depends on what “expensive” means to you. If we talk in numbers, the price of this knockoff is a little over $1,000. I don’t know if this price seems exorbitant for a replica timepiece to you. But holding this watch in my hands, it is hard for me to believe that it is a copy.
I deal with many replica watches. That’s my job and my passion. However, few replica watches resemble their original counterparts so well. And I think I’m wrong when I say that this Rolex replica “resembles” the original model. It is more correct to say that it looks identical, and I am not exaggerating when I say that.
As for quality, the materials and the mechanism in it speak for themselves. I wish all watches in the replica industry were executed as wonderfully as this one. A watch with temperament but reserved at the same time. A timepiece with strong charisma but minimalist air at the same time. I have nothing but praise for this phenomenal replica watch.
