Looks-wise, the watch that comes the closest to an all-steel model is now the ref. 116509, which is cast in solid 18k white gold and has the price tag to prove it.That means a delve into the archives is the only avenue still open should you want one, and it is the previous generation that is proving the most affordable. The ‘Zenith’ Daytona ref. 16520, powered by the fabled El Primero, is still the gateway into steel Cosmograph Daytona ownership.Of course, the word ‘affordable’ is all relative. Prices start at around the $20,000 mark, which is a hefty slice of anyone’s money. Yet beyond being one of the most handsome and capable models ever made, any Rolex Daytona represents perhaps the surest investments watch collecting has to offer.It’s a tough call, but the starkly austere Explorer might well be the watch that has changed the least (visually) over its 70-year run. That is even for a manufacture that updates aesthetics at the glacial pace that Rolex does. Every reference, from the prototype Pre-Explorer ref. 6150 from 1952 up to the last of the ref. 114270s in 2010, have been simple three handers, with the beautifully legible white on black 3/6/9 dials, housed in a 36mm case.Then along came the ref. 214270, identical in the detailing but the first example to grow beyond the dimensions in 58-years, measuring 39mm. It increased in size for the same reason as the Datejust – fashions demanded it – but unlike that watch, it became the only option available.That is no bad thing. The Explorer is perhaps the last of the true tool watches in the Rolex catalog. There is nothing about any iteration of the watch that is designed to look flashy or draw attention to itself, and a few extra millimeters doesn’t change that. The new Explorer is basically the old Explorer, and whichever you choose will come down to whether your wrist size suits one or the other.Its strength has always been in its simplicity, and it remains one of the best value for money prospects on the pre-owned Rolex market. $5,000-$6,000 is the buy-in point for a well set up example of the ref. 114270 or, if you fancy going the real vintage route, the celebrated ref. 1016 (personal timepiece of James Bond author Ian Fleming) starts at a little over twice that. Tough, elegant and perfectly built, the Explorer has always stayed true to Rolex’s roots.
Case is 42mm in diameter, made of 316L stainless steel and has a fine brushing. Bezel and lugs are well connected, whole case profile is 1:1 replicate from original.Arc-shaped sapphire crystal has ar coating, the sapphire has passed hardness test by special instrument, and it is highly scratch resistant. Under sapphire crystal, it is black dial that has several layers to give wearer a great three-dimensional visual effect. The replica has white, black and blue options on dial. Rome hour markers are made of 18K platinum, each is well built. Date is shown through the small window at 6.Bracelet is in high quality, I do not know what type of bracelet it is, but indeed attracts my eyes, I think it looks more beautiful than Rolex Oyster bracelet. Buckle is deployant and has the same construction as genuine.If you are looking for a replica Omega that looks perfect from inner to outside, this is the one. You will never regret, and the watch will match any type of dresses especially good for meeting in business occasions.
While on this replica Rolex Daytona 116508LN, the chronograph function is defective.The case finish is good. There is a thick yellow gold coating on solid 904L stainless steel, the gold coating has reached to be 5 mils thick, AR promised that gold coating will never fade within two years. I do not believe, unless you do not wear this watch every day. The end link of bracelet connects case very well, which looks more natural now. Dial is green, a very special color to match the yellow gold case, but the green color is eye-catching and very convenient for the wearer to read time from dial. By the way, the replica Rolex Daytona will come with a AR’s signature plastic box packaging. The following are watch specification.Movement: Clone 4130 Chronograph with Working Seconds Chronograph, First Slim Chronograph Movement Decorated Plates and Rotor to Look of Genuine Rolex 4130 Case: 40mm*13mm, 18K Yellow Gold Coating on Solid 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Yellow Gold Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown at 6 o’clock Dial: Green with Blue Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: 18K Yellow Gold Coating on 904L Stainless Steel, Flip Lock Clasp Water Resistant: 30m A lot of Rolex Daytona replica watches have been published in our market since the beginning of 2018, AR and Noob are two main factories that manufactured these Daytona replicas. The quality from both factories is good, but there is a big difference between Noob Daytona and AR Daytona. In my opinion, Noob makes the best replica Rolex, including these Daytonas, maybe some people do not agree, but this is the truth. Noob not only used 904L stainless steel on the case, but also now installed the super clone 4130 movement in the Daytona, this type of super clone 4130 has a full functional chronograph. Although AR has their clone 4130 movement, but it does not have a real chronograph, a bit disappointed. Today, I want to introduce another good replica Daytona made by Noob factory, genuine watch has a reference number 116515, this rose gold Rolex Daytona watch is currently the best Daytona replica, you can not find any other Daytona watches in our market that could be compared with this one.About this Daytona, the most important change AR factory has made lies in its movement. The factory used an original KIF shock absorber on this super clone 4130. On movement plates, from chamfering to sun-ray polishing, they do a respect to original design, the outlook is completely the same as genuine Rolex 4130 Caliber. Compared with previous Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, this super clone 4130 has correct thickness, not that thick on Asian 7750. Checked the movement photos below, do they look beautiful? The polishing and engravings are correct, because of original KIF shock absorber, the clone 4130 movement has a high stability and accuracy.40mm case is made of 316L stainless steel, there is a thick coating of 18K rose gold, which is measured to be 5 mils. The case is brushed, while the four lugs and case side are polished.
The replica Daytona watch is made by WW factory, we call it WWF. You know, the Hublot Classic Fusion replica from WWF is very hot in recent months, especially JJ factory was closed several months ago, now, only two factories in our market make replica Hublot Classic Fusion watches, WWF and TWF.On the case, WWF uses real forged carbon material, the case has very special prints. The bezel has white and red markers, which exactly echo with the red stitching on black nylon strap. The forged carbon case has a good finish, and the watch feels very comfortable when you wearing it, it has a very light weight. Case back is made of 316L stainless steel that has been blackened.The dial is black and has white printings, central second-chronograph hand is in bright red color, this long and big hand works for seconds chronograph, it has the same function as real Daytona watch. The red hand and “DAYTONA” form a high contrast with the black dial background. Three small dials have real functions, sub-second hand is working on the small dial at 6 o’clock, other two small dials present minute and hour chronograph.Although the replica has the same chronograph function as real watch, it has a thicker case than genuine. If you want the case to be exactly 1:1 replicated from original, which I mean the replica Daytona has the same thickness as genuine, then you need to go with a Daytona replica watch from Noob or AR factory. The Daytona watches from these two factories absolutely represent the most advanced watch-making technology in our market, they also have better case finish and 1:1 original case profile.However, if you want to try something that looks fresh, then this carbon Daytona watch will be a good start.
