Rolex has been manufacturing watches with 34mm case diameters for the majority of their long and distinguished history; however, these “mid-size” models such as the Date and Air-King often get overlooked due to the multitude of options that exist in the more standard, 36mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual case size. However, Rolex has manufactured a number of excellent watches – both vintage and contemporary – that have 34mm case diameters, and their highly versatile size allows them to look at-home on wrists of virtually any gender or measurement.Although the Datejust collection has historically had a case diameter of 36mm for the standard full-size model, Rolex also manufactures a line of watches called the Date that offers many of the same design traits and features of the Datejust – even the same movement too – only in a slightly smaller overall package.One of the most “quintessentially Rolex” watches currently in production with a 34mm case diameter is the reference 115234 Date. With a Cyclops magnification lens, stainless steel Oyster bracelet, and 18k white gold fluted bezel, the reference 115234 Date checks all the same design boxes as the Datejust, just with a slightly reduced size. Additionally, since the 34mm Date and the 36mm Datejust share the same movement, the reference 115234 is in no way a “lesser” watch compared to the Datejust, just one that is 2mm smaller.Since consumer trends favored smaller wristwatches in past decades, a number of great vintage Rolex references exist with 34mm case diameters. One of the longest-running Rolex models of all time is the reference 5500 Air-King, which boasts a super clean and minimal dial design that perfectly complements its slightly reduced case size.The reference 5500 remained in production for thirty-seven years, during which time it was fitted with both Rolex’s Caliber 1520 and Caliber 1530 movements – neither of which were chronometer-certified. Due to their long production run, reference 5500 Air-King watches were manufactured in relatively large numbers and can still be purchased for very reasonable prices. Fitted with one of the cleanest and least text-heavy dials found inside any Rolex watch, the Air-King 5500 pre-dates the widespread implementation of chronometer-certified movements and represents one of the best entry points into vintage Rolex collecting.Although the Day-Date President is the classic all-gold Rolex watch, it has never been manufactured in a size smaller than 36mm. However, throughout its history, Rolex has produced a number of all-gold watches within their Date collection that have 34mm case diameters, and lack the additional complication for displaying the day of the week that is found on the flagship Day-Date line of watches.One of the more modern incarnations of the all-gold 34mm Date is the reference 15238, which stands out due to a number of characteristics that help separate it from previous iterations of Rolex’s all-gold 34mm Date watch. While earlier examples were made from 14k gold, there reference 15238 is craft from 18k – the same as what Rolex uses to manufacture their flagship Day-Date President watch. Additionally, the Date 15238 is fitted with Rolex’s Caliber 3135 movement and a synthetic sapphire crystal, which give it all the ingredients necessary to be a fairly modern watch.
The replica watch is equipped with one pair of black rubber strap, different from the rubber on Hublot and other brand watches, this rubber strap has woven pattern on, which looks very unique. Finally, the replica is equipped with a Miyota 9015 movement, you know, Japanese movement is better than those clone Chinese automatic movement, it has a very low repairing rate.Although the replica AquaTimer has lost its original favor as a diving watch, I still recommend it to you guys who need a big and high quality watch.
On the dial at 12 o’clock, there is a FA Jones signaure in black, a small hand is showing current seconds on subdial at 6 o’clock. Central hour and minute hands are classic Breguet hands, which add a little retro flavor to the watch. Printed Arabic hour markers are in blue.Look at the manual winding movement through crystal back, each movement plate is carefully crafted, from polishing to chamfering, each detail is uncompromised.The leather band varies from brown, blue and black on different model. Please tell me which one you like: rose gold case with brown leather strap, blue hour markers with blue leather band or black hour markers with black leather strap.
Through the transparent case back ,we can see its movement clearly. It equipped with Asian Unitas 6498 Manual Hand wound Movement. It has anther small hand in case back which was used for adjustment so that it can be more accurate in travel time and without mistake. This powerful movement can be precise and shock resistant.Anyway, this replica IWC was general as a whole, it with low-key temperament but was luxurious as well. It was so cool when owning such wrist watch with retro and simple style due to it was hand wound watch. So how about you? It was worth of your affection.
The Pilot chrono watch has a large case measured to be 43mm in diameter. The case has a round polished bezel contrasting with the brushed case. The case is thick, up to 15mm. The crown and chronograph buttons are set on the right case side, two chronograph buttons are polished and they work the same way as those buttons of genuine watch. Case back is entirely brushed, while sandblasting finish on the center. There are delicate engravings on case back in correct depth. Although this replica has a full chronograph function, please do not operate the chronograph buttons too often. The replica has a thicker case than genuine, we hope ZF could reduce its thickness by modifying its movement inside.
