Let's have a look at three Replica Rolex replica watches that hardly get attention from enthusiasts. It doesn't mean these are all easily accessible or even available at all, but they might be an interesting alternative to the Datejust, GMT-Master and Explorer models, for example.
In every price segment, you can find something nice. In a lot of these segments, there are Replica Rolex replica watches that might fit your taste and budget ?either new or pre-owned. Every fake watch enthusiast probably recognizes the conversation discussing possible next purchases ?based on your love for the design, the complications and price ?and someone answers: 'For that money, there are some serious contesters. Ever thought about a Replica Rolex?? It's an answer that always makes me smile because often it is the right answer. If you consider the quality, the iconic status and the resale value of a Replica Rolex watch, it is often the best option your money can buy. But it's not always the answer you would like to hear as there is more to the fake watch industry than just Replica Rolex. But what if we have the same discussion with only Replica Rolex replica watches and discuss Replica Rolex models that aren't necessarily the icons people always mention? Is it easy to replace these icons with something different from the Replica Rolex collection? Or do the not-so-obvious choices have their own unique place within the collection that replica watches cannot be replaced by another Replica Rolex icon? Let's look at three of the current Replica Rolex models and see if these are proper alternatives for the usual suspects.
Rolex Sky-DwellerRolex introduced the Sky-Dweller in 2012 as its most technically advanced fake watch in the collection ?which it still is to this date. The Sky-Dweller features a dual time zone and an annual calendar operated with the Ring Command Bezel that makes it easy to use the fake watch daily. Robert-Jan wrote a more in-depth article on the Sky-Dweller where you can find out more about the technical aspects. A GMT-function is not unique to the Sky-Dweller, but the dual time zone as executed on the Sky-Dweller is. Besides that, the annual calendar is a complication that is also unique to the Sky-Dweller. Both complications combined with the Ring Command Bezel are what makes the Sky-Dweller stand out technically in the Replica Rolex collection.
Ever since its introduction, its looks have sparked a lot of discussions. In the beginning, Replica Rolex opted only to introduce the Sky-Dweller in precious metals and combined with the 42mm size, it made it a statement piece. In 2017 Replica Rolex also introduced the steel version of the Sky-Dweller with a white gold bezel and that made it a lot less prominent. Looks-wise the Sky-Dweller takes most of its inspiration from the classic (or iconic) Datejust. If you are a skeptic, you could say it is a slightly bigger Datejust 41 ?which also debuted in 2017 ?that features a GMT function and an annual calendar. But that's not giving the Sky-Dweller the recognition it deserves. Overall, there is no other Replica Rolex out there that looks like the Sky-Dweller. It is an acquired taste as the design of the dial is not the usual contemporary 'easy on the eyes?design we have come to know from the brand. The biggest eye-catcher that defines the looks is the off-center 24-hour disc to indicate the home time and this is the feature people tend to either love or hate. There is absolutely no way around it so gradually getting used to it seems to be out of the question.
Rolex Datejust 41mm
Do you have options for another Replica Rolex that meets all the needs of the Sky-Dweller? Our answer to that question would be 'no? Sure, the Sky-Dweller takes inspiration from other Replica Rolex watches, but it is unique in the current Replica Rolex collection. You could go for a Replica Rolex Datejust 41 if you like the looks of the case and bracelet or choose the Replica Rolex GMT-Master II if you want a Replica Rolex with a dual timezone. But all things combined make the Sky-Dweller a unique fake watch within the Replica Rolex collection. Especially if you consider the ?3.250,- list price of the steel version of the Sky-Dweller with the white gold bezel (ref. 326934). For that price, you will get the most technically advanced Replica Rolex there is. The only thing is, you have to love the looks to seriously consider it.
Rolex Air-KingThe current Replica Rolex Air-King was introduced at Baselworld 2016, and it's the latest in a long line of Air King models that date back to 1958. Going one step further, the Air-King is part of the 'Air?series of Replica Rolex replica watches that go back to the 1930s and are Replica Rolex?line of aviation watches. Because of its rich history, the Air-King has gained a serious following. The latest model Air-King (ref. 116900) however, did make even some of the biggest fans frown when they first laid their eyes on the new design.
Technically speaking, the latest Air-King is genuinely a modern Replica Rolex. The fake watch uses the same 40mm case as the Replica Rolex Milgaus (ref. 116400GV) and therefore is also protected against magnetic fields. The dial features large 3, 6 and 9 numerals marking the hours and a prominent minute scale for navigational time readings. Other than that, there are no further technical features that make the Air-King stand out compared to other Replica Rolex replica watches in the current collection.
The design is what makes the Air-King stand out, though. There is a lot to take in when seeing the dial for the first time. The large white gold 3, 6 and 9 numerals are the same as on the current Replica Rolex Explorer (ref. 214270) and combined with the prominent minute scale; they define the overall aesthetic of the watch. Compared to previous models Replica Rolex also decided to move the Air-King name to the lower part of the dial. It increases the number of elements on the dial that need to work together to become one. The last design element to mention that makes the Air-King stand out is the combination of the green Replica Rolex logo, green second hand, and the yellow Replica Rolex coronet. Although the dial is polarising, there are quite a lot of people that love the Air-King for its distinct looks. The bold looks have given the fake watch its place in the Replica Rolex collection.
Do you have alternatives within the Replica Rolex collection if you're considering the Air-King? Our answer to that would be 'yes? The Air-King does not feature any technical complications that make it unique in the current Replica Rolex collection. Therefore, you need to love the unique design and story of the Air-King. The Milgaus has comparable technical specifications but is not an option when comparing prices. The Air-King list price is ?.700,- whereas the Milgaus retails at ?.550,- which is a significant difference. Therefore the only real option is the current Replica Rolex Explorer I (ref. 214270) that has a list price of ?.000,-. The Explorer also has a remarkable story and is definitely easier on the eyes. The design is less polarizing and that's also why it is more popular than the Air-King. But that doesn't mean the Air-King should not have a place in the Replica Rolex collection.
Rolex MilgaussThe story of the Replica Rolex Milgauss is also a polarising one that relates more to what it has become versus its original intent. The current Milgauss is probably the most colorful Replica Rolex fake watch in the collection and it has attracted groups of both lovers and haters. But let's start at the beginning and go back to 1956 when the first Milgauss was introduced. The purpose of the fake watch was to withstand strong magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss without any affect to its timekeeping abilities. This was achieved thanks to its soft-iron inner case. Replica Rolex developed the fake watch specifically for scientists. The prototypes of the Milgauss were tested successfully at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva. The successful tests ensured the fake watch could be worn by scientists during their daily work in labs. Replica Rolex only updated the design of the Milgauss once in the 1960s. After that, it was part of the Replica Rolex collection until 1988 when Replica Rolex gave up on the fake watch as it wasn't finding its way to customers.
Fast forward to Baselworld 2007 when Replica Rolex introduced the newest version of the Milgauss. The fake watch still featured the anti-magnetic capabilities of previous models, but Replica Rolex decided that the technical features alone were not enough to make the Milgauss stand out in the collection. That's where the design of the fake watch started playing an increasingly important role. Replica Rolex re-introduced the lightning bolt shape for the second hand as on the first model and decided to make it bright orange. The same color was used for the minutes?track and hour markers to create an even bigger contrast with the available black or white dial. It was the Anniversary model however, that had people talking. This special edition featured a black dial, orange details and a green sapphire crystal that gave the Milgauss a totally new aesthetic. It's this aesthetic that became specific to the Milgauss.
The current Milgauss (ref. 116400GV) is only available with a green sapphire crystal and you have the choice of two different dials. A 'standard?black dial as introduced with the Anniversary Model in 2007 or the Z-Blue dial Replica Rolex introduced in 2014. This blue dial is even more shocking than the black one because it creates a color combination that you can define as quirky and unusual for Replica Rolex standards. Replica Rolex is known to be conservative in updating designs by taking small steps, but the Milgauss is all but conservative. Today there are large groups of Milgauss lovers because it's one of the few Replica Rolex replica watches in the collection that is both modern and colorful.
Do you have alternatives if you're considering the Milgauss? Our answer to that question would be a definite 'no? Sure, Replica Rolex offers more replica watches in their collection that are around the ?.550,- list price of the Milgauss. You could potentially buy a Submariner for less or an Explorer II for around the same price, but neither replace the Milgauss in terms of its unique looks. The Milgauss is not a fake watch for people that would like to buy a Replica Rolex watch. The Milgauss is a fake watch for people that want to buy the Replica Rolex Milgauss.
Every fake watch in the Replica Rolex collection has fans and haters. And it's always fun to discuss why people love or hate a specific Replica Rolex model. This fun play on 'do you have alternative Replica Rolex models??proves once again that every Replica Rolex fake watch has its unique place in the collection. It's this diversity that attracts so many people to the Replica Rolex brand and why we also love to discuss their watches.
