1:1 Top 5 UK Fake Rolex Datejust References Watches Ever Created

In this series, we take one classic watch and choose our five favorite references ever produced. Four of these references will be based on the historical importance of the specific Swiss made Rolex replica watches in the grand scheme of things. Though there may be some overlap, it’s not a question of which references are the most collectible or of the highest value on the market. The fifth pick is our Fratello favorite that considers the current market price and collectability, potentially making it a sleeper reference. As such, the last pick could be described as our wild card. This week, we’ll take a look at the best AAA Rolex Datejust fake watches. Here are our five favorite Datejust references ever produced.

Sitting down with our in-house Rolex Datejust connoisseur Thomas van Straaten made sense for this list. As the writer of a book on the Rolex Datejust and a series of articles explaining the magic of his iconic UK cheap replica Rolex watches, he is the perfect man to help pick the five references to highlight. Nevertheless, picking five is not easy or perhaps even doable. With almost every generation of the Datejust, there is the immediate question of whether to go for a smooth, fluted, or engine-turned bezel. It’s more a matter of personal preference than one of historical importance in the development of the watch. In addition, with the Datejust having such a long history, we decided to pick an outstanding version from various generations to help you visualize the versatility and brilliance of the high quality Rolex copy watches. Without further ado, let’s get into it!

Replica Rolex Datejust ref. 4467 Watches

We’ll start at the beginning, of course, with the first Datejust, one that actually did not have the model name on the dial. While it started the Datejust lineage, we are looking at an inherently different watch. The Rolex ref. 4467 was introduced in 1945 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the brand. Only available in 18K yellow gold at first and later also in red gold, it was the flagship of the Rolex lineup. The fake Rolex watches for sale is also known as the Datejust “Ovettone” (Italian for “big egg”) as its 36mm “Bubble Back” case is shaped like an egg. Both its size and shape made this an oversized case at the time of introduction. It came with a beautiful coin-edge bezel, bringing a great dose of finesse to the overall design.

Rolex equipped the ref. 4467 with its caliber A295, which came with a date function shown at 3 o’clock on the dial. The date discs came in different executions, including the famous roulette in red and black as well as fully black and fully red versions. Importantly, the Swiss movements Rolex replica watches did not feature the famous Cyclops magnifier yet, which would later become one of the defining elements of the Datejust. A new element, however, was the five-link Jubilee bracelet (not shown here). It was the brand’s first in-house-designed bracelet that was specially created for the watch. The dial design features old-school Rolex elements like spearhead hour markers and leaf-shaped hands. On the outside of the indices, we find the characteristic and refined 60-minute/seconds track. This is simply a stunning vintage piece that introduced the Datejust aesthetic and nowadays will fetch roughly €20K and up depending on the condition.

Fake Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 Watches

Now we fast-forward to 1959 when Rolex introduced the Datejust ref. 16xx. This series consisted of the ref. 1600 with a smooth bezel, ref. 1601 with a fluted bezel always in precious metal, and ref. 1602 with an engine-turned bezel. A fun fact that Thomas explained in his Datejust Buying Guide article is that the engine-turned-bezel actually was produced in gold as well as steel. However, the overwhelming majority of 1:1 super clone Rolex ref. 1602 watches had a steel bezel. All three references featured a pie-pan dial with a lowered minute track.

The Datejust ref. 16xx was produced from 1959 to 1977, and Rolex used two different calibers in that period. The first is the caliber 1565, which was replaced by the 1575 movement in 1965. The latter increased the operation frequency from 18,000vph to 19,800vph. Now, when it comes to choosing a favorite, how about the steel ref. 1601 with a fluted white gold bezel? The classic wholesale replica Rolex Datejust watches aesthetic made it such an instantly recognizable icon, and almost 55 years after its introduction, it still is an absolute stunner.

Rolex Datejust ref. 16013 Replica Watches

Talk about stunners! We have to include two-tone luxury Rolex Datejust fake watches with a Jubilee bracelet in this list. While the gold and steel version was also available in the previous four-digit generation, we started seeing some brilliant, extravagant options with the ref. 16013, which was part of the five-digit ref. 16xxx generation. The ref. 16xxx models were introduced in 1977 and no longer featured pie-pan dials. Instead, Rolex opted for flat dials, which lacked the depth that the four-digit references had. But don’t be fooled because there are indeed plenty of great dials out there for the five-digit models.

The biggest update came in the form of the new caliber 3035 with a quickset date feature. If you’re in the market for vintage perfect replica Rolex Datejust watches, the quickset date is definitely one thing to keep in mind. In terms of references, there was the smooth-bezel ref. 16000 in steel, the fluted-bezel ref. 16014 in steel, the fluted bezel ref. 16013 in two-tone, and lastly, the engine-turned-bezel ref. 16030 in steel. Now, as we already touched upon, a two-tone version of the ref. 16013 could be a great option, and I suggest exploring the wide variety of different dials because you might be able to find some amazing ones. Normally, I would recommend going for one with a gold dial, but just looking at the two dials pictured here, you’ll understand there are some stunning options. The first is a gold linen dial, and the second is a stunning gray tapestry dial. Both are great for some over-the-top ’70s/’80s swagger.

Rolex Datejust ref. 16220 Fake Watches

The next big update came in 1988 with the China replica Rolex Datejust ref. 162xx series watches. The biggest update that Rolex introduced was a new movement, shifting from the caliber 3035 to the 3135. The new movement was an update of the previous caliber and featured a full balance bridge, a larger balance wheel, and an increased jewel count, going from 27 to 31 jewels. Another big update was the use of sapphire crystals for the different references, replacing the acrylic crystals that had been in use until that point. The smooth-bezel version became ref. 16200, the fluted bezel in steel ref. 16214, in two-tone ref. 16213, and finally, the engine-turned-bezel became ref. 16220.

When it comes to picking a favorite, I have always had a soft spot for a Datejust with Roman-numeral hour markers, especially if paired with a nice dial color. A good one would be the combo of a pink salmon dial with Roman numerals, but for this pick, I decided to go with a ref. 16220 with a cream-colored dial, Roman numerals, and an engine-turned-bezel. The big question is whether to go for a Jubilee or Oyster bracelet. Usually, it’s a no-brainer for me as I much prefer the Jubilee bracelet on a Datejust. However, I do have to say that an Oyster also looks fantastic on this specific version. Still, just for overall refinement, the Jubilee might just come out on top when given the choice.

Replica Rolex Datejust ref. 16018 Watches

The Rolex Datejust ref. 16018 is our final pick and the wild card for this list. We could have also chosen the most current Datejust iteration or even the Datejust 41. But for many people on the Fratello team, the charm of the 2023 Rolex Datejust fake watches is in the 36mm versions, especially the vintage references. That’s why we went with the all-gold ref. 16018. Many of you might think that we chose this reference because some of these models featured some of the most stunning stone dials. But that’s not the only reason why we chose this one. Have you ever considered a Datejust in full gold? Most people, including me, will automatically gravitate toward a Day-Date when talking about a full-gold Rolex. But the Datejust began “life” as a full-gold watch, so opting for a gold version is not that strange at all.

Technically speaking, the ref. 16018 is the same as the ref. 16013, which I highlighted earlier in the article. The main difference is that the 36mm case is executed in 18K yellow gold. Combine the case with a spectacular dial and a classy leather strap, and you will no longer need a dress watch. The level of style and class that the best quality Rolex Datejust replica watches shows is stunning. And the great thing is that you can buy a gold ref. 16018 on a leather strap in great condition for well under €10K. If you want to make a bolder statement, go for the same reference with a gold Jubilee bracelet. One can be yours starting at roughly €14K. Those versions show the true brilliance of the Datejust in its original form.

Final thoughts on the top Rolex Datejust references

There you have it — a small walk through Swiss replica Rolex Datejust watches history. As I already mentioned, a wide variety of references could have been featured in this article. We left out the modern six-digit ones, the bigger versions, and perhaps even your favorite Datejust model. That’s why this list is the starting point of a bigger discussion.

Five Cheap Online Rolex Fake Watches UK Under $10K That Are Available Without The Wait

At some point everyone wants a Rolex. It is a name that has transcended the world of high quality Rolex replica watches to become a mark of achievement and an appreciation for craftsmanship. Unfortunatly this means long lines and high prices. The average price for a new Rolex sport model like the Submariner or Explorer II is a rounding error away from $10,000, and more everyday perfect fake Rolex watches like the Oyster Perpetual and Datejust quickly surpass the $7,000 mark. That is, of course, if you can find anything inside a dealer’s showroom that isn’t just for display only. The after-market has responded to this lack of availability by increasing the prices for any watch you can take home that same day.

The good news is a Rolex never goes out of style, so if you are willing to do a little hunting you can find pre-owned models that are not only under that $10,000 mark but occasionally have plenty of room to spare. Even if they have a few years on them, they still can go toe-to-toe with a brand new one when it comes to timeless good looks and reliability.

Replica Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16570 Watches

The black dial version of the 16570 is a solid option, but the polar white has always been the more popular, and thus slightly more expensive model. This 16750 from 1997 is the last year tritium dials were commonly available from any Swiss watchmaker, with LumiNova coming out the next year, and Super-LumiNova following two years later. With this being the youngest possible tritium dial it has yet to age like its vintage cousin, the lume plots and hands are still bright white, a perfect match to the dial. As this 1:1 fake Rolex watches remains in your collection those hands and markers will slowly turn to a creamy off-white, and then to the yellow that can only be found when time has given its slow and unyielding touch to a watch. Overall this piece is in excellent pre-owned condition, there are a few scratches to the steel bezel, but nothing that will get in the way of enjoying this classic.

Fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 116000 Watches

The AAA UK Rolex Explorer replica watches is essentially an Oyster Perpetual with a specific numeral combination and the signature Mercedes hands, and always in black. If you prefer the look of an Explorer, but with a different color, then for many years the Oyster Perpetual came in the same 36mm size and dial combination, just with a slightly different set of hands. A small sacrifice to be able to get some blue on the dial, and those baton hands are easy to love in their own right. Coming from the previous generation of Swiss made copy Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches, this 116000 is in excellent condition and ready to compete with your friend’s Explorer but try not to gloat about how much less you paid for yours.

Rolex Submariner No Date Ref. 14060 Replica Watches

No Submariner is as clean looking as the 14060. Two simple lines of text at the bottom half of the luxury fake Rolex watches and there’s no date cyclops crowding things up, standing in contrast to the paragraph of text you find in all future models. This 2000 model is part of a very short two-year run that has the newer Super LumiNova replacing the tritium, so it will never patina, crack, or set off a Geiger counter. The other feature of this short-lived version of the 14060 is it has lug holes on the side of the case allowing for very easy strap changes, which would soon go away and never again be seen on top Rolex Submariner replica watches. Being around for 21 years has left a few dings on the side of the case and a mark near the top of the bezel, small wounds to let you know this timepiece has earned its way to legal drinking age.

Rolex Datejust Ref. 16233 Fake Watches

In recent years the sports models have been the central attraction of the Rolex catalog, but historically it was the two-tone jubilee Swiss movements Rolex Datejust replica watches that garnered the world’s attention. It is worn by real-world leaders like the Dalai Lama and Pope John Paul II, as well as fictional characters like Patrick Bateman and Edward Lewis. A new two-tone 36mm in Roman numerals and white dial will run around $12,700, or for a much more affordable $6,900 you can take home this neo-vintage model from 1991 that is in surprisingly excellent condition, with only that smallest of nicks visible on the lower end link. The tritium lume plots are still nice and white, with the lume in the hands showing some minor patina as they turn a soft cream shade that looks amazing with the yellow-gold hands.

Replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Midsize Ref. 77080 Watches

This wholesale super clone Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches is one of the least expensive ways to add a Rolex to your collection. Not only is it about $1,500 less than a new model, but it is also in a colorway that is no longer offered. When the current lineup of the OP was announced in 2020 one of the most popular colors, the white dial, was removed as an option. The OP has also lost many of its numeral options with Roman, Arabic, and the mixed being pushed out in favor of the more simplistic stick markers.

Then there is this 77080 with its classic Roman numerals on white background with a date near the end of the neo-vintage era of 2000. This age means it has Super LumiNova that will not patina but has been around long enough that most collectors prefer to no longer polish out any well-earned nicks and scratches. The lugs on this Rolex replica watches online site have some small nicks but overall it is in very good condition with a blemish free bezel and a mint dial.

This is an easy buy for those with a smaller wrist to match the 31mm case size.

Perfect UK Fake Rolex Watches FAQ: Everything You Need To Know About Production Increases And The Certified Pre-Owned Program

Speculation about high quality Rolex replica watches just never stops. What will it release next? How does its new pre-owned program work? Is it deliberately suppressing its production, just to make everybody want its stuff more?

Well, friends, we will have answers to the new release questions on March 27. And the answers to the other two questions are below, along with several others.

We admittedly don’t know everything we’d like to know – this is still Rolex, where regal silence is part of the mystique – but we now know enough to bring you an update

1. I recently read that Rolex is accelerating production to meet rising demand via three temporary production facilities. Is this true?

Well, sort of. UK cheap Rolex fake watches is indeed planning three temporary installations in the Swiss canton of Fribourg in preparation for the production site that will be built in Bulle (also in the canton of Fribourg).

However, this was not a sudden decision by Rolex but rather the first step in a much larger, and long-planned process. Demand has been high for some time now, so it’s not as if Rolex execs just noticed that collectors can’t buy most of their AAA top replica Rolex watches at retail. Based on conversations I’ve had (and there’s plenty I’m not able to share), product shortages are not a macabre business strategy but rather an acknowledged problem for a company that makes money, um, selling watches at retail.

Anyhow, the permanent site in Bulle is still years away. So these temporary sites will allow that ramp-up to happen much sooner.

2. So how many watches are they going to be making now?

Swiss made Rolex copy watches won’t provide exact numbers, but anything would help. If the result of this production increase yields one or two references in a boutique that are not labeled “For Exhibition Only,” then that’s a win in my book.

3. Okay, and now what is the deal with this new Rolex Certified Pre-Owned Program?

Last month, I had a chance to see a CPO display at a boutique in Geneva and got a sense of how pre-owned products coexisted with new products in a retail atmosphere.

Prices were, as expected, considerably higher than the MSRP for a new watch. I recall a steel Submariner behind the glass with a price tag that began with a two instead of a one.

For what it’s worth, I can confirm that Rolex HQ has no involvement when it comes to pricing the luxury replica Rolex watches themselves. “It will be up to the Official Rolex Jewelers to determine the prices,” a brand rep told me.

That, by definition, means prices could vary from boutique to boutique – so if you think you can get a bargain by shopping around, knock yourself out.

4. Is there an age limit on the watches eligible for the CPO program? How “vintage” can a watch be?

Nope, no age limit in terms of how old a watch can be to be eligible for the program. All vintage comers are welcome. As we reported initially, however, any best Rolex fake watches must be at least three years old. Flipping is not so welcome.

5. Is there a mandate to replace parts on any watch sent in for CPO certification? Could a watch maintain a patina dial, or have imperfections (like a spider dial)? Or will Rolex want to service it with available parts to bring it as close to a new watch as possible?

According to Rolex, the criteria for how to service the watch is practically identical to how it would work for any Rolex owner.

For models fitted with what Swiss movements Rolex super clone watches calls old-generation material or when components are damaged, a replacement with “new-generation” material or components is offered to the customer during what’s called a vintage service.

If something has to be changed, it is mentioned in the quote for service. After that, it becomes a consent scenario and the customer must give his/her agreement.

6. Are the pre-owned watches just sitting in the same case alongside the new ones, with wildly different prices? That would be weird.

The CPO watches sit in a separate space from the new models within the retail environment. You’re not going to mistakenly buy one when you think you’re buying the other.

7. How long has the CPO program been in the works?

1:1 replica Rolex watches declined to comment. Seems safe to say it wasn’t an overnight decision.

8. Would special-order watches be eligible for the program? For instance, watches commissioned by corporate entities, COMEX, etc?

Technically, yes, they’re eligible too: “As long as a watch is a genuine piece that is more than three years old, it is eligible.” Good luck finding that Domino’s piece!

9. Will a retailer be permitted to sell a CPO Rolex in a new Rolex box or must it be sold with the specified packaging?

“No, the piece will be sold with specific CPO packaging (which includes a special pouch),” Rolex commented. “However, if the watch is sold to the retailer with its original box, the watch can be resold with it.”

So there you have it. We’ll be sure to update you as new information comes in. In the meantime, stick with us for full coverage of all the new releases on March 27.
