Fake Rolex Datejust Ref. 16220 This is the watch that Hurley had on his wrist when we met for the Talking Watches shoot. It’s a lovely and very subtle 36mm UK 1:1 fake Rolex Datejust 16220 with a white dial, Roman numerals, and a steel engine-turned bezel. These days, Hurley wears it on a matching oyster bracelet, but that’s not how the copy watch was delivered…
For the full story – including a certain race-worn Timex, a call from a gentleman named Roland Puton (the then-chairman of perfect replica Rolex USA), and a very unexpected strap pairing – well, you’re going to have to watch the video.
Gold Replica Rolex Datejust This lovely vintage gold aaa quality replica Rolex Datejust was given to Hurley by his husband to celebrate their marriage. It’s a Swiss super clone Rolex reference 1611 with a Florentine finish on the case and bezel, along with a caseback engraving to mark the special occasion.
One of the rarest aaa quality replica Rolexes of the 1960s is currently on sale for $125,000. There are very few Rolex Space Dwellers in the world, with some sources claiming only 13 of the limited edition watches ever made. There is also a suggestion that the special edition watches were made to boost Swiss made fake Rolex’s presence in Japan through association with the Mercury astronauts — who were amongst the first to orbit the Earth.
As with most rumors concerning the iconic Swiss watchmaker, perfect replica Rolex hasn’t commented on the supposed ties to one of America’s first space programs. Still, the unconfirmed tale adds a touch of prestige to the rare timepiece. In addition to its unique dial, the luxury fake Rolex Space Dweller boasts a 36mm case, Mercedes hands, and a 1560 movement—just like the Explorers of the early 1960s. The dial and hands display the sort of patina you would expect on a 60-year-old watch, and the bracelet appears to show some very minor wear. You may have guessed from the limited run, but the cheap super clone Rolex Space Dweller never really caught on and definitely didn’t reach the stratospheric heights of Omega’s Moonwatch. The top copy Omega Speedmaster, which is still produced to this day, has official ties to NASA and even accompanied the Apollo 11 astronauts to the moon, hence its nickname.
While the price tag may seem hefty, it’s actually a bargain when you compare it to a Space Dweller that sold in a 2023 New York auction for $190,000. Despite its desirability, the watch is also a little controversial, mostly because it is very similar to a more basic Swiss movement fake Rolex model from the mid-1960s.
While the “Space Dweller” is one of the more collectible vintage watches for men and packs a price tag to match — there are almost identical watches available for a fraction of the price. Aside from the marginally different dial, it’s just a top copy Rolex Explorer Mk III, which also happens to carry the reference 1016.
A Mk III Explorer isn’t the cheapest watch you can buy, with a retail price that tends to range between $15,000 and $25,000 — but it’s far more accessible than its space-dwelling spinoff. This similarity also leads to the following warning. You have to be very careful when buying something like a Swiss movement fake Rolex Space Dweller, as someone could simply swap in a counterfeit dial and make eight times their money selling something almost indistinguishable from the real thing. A genuine patina on the dial will help authenticate it, and if you’re handing over six figures, the paperwork should all be on point. But with large sums involved, it’s always worth getting a well-qualified expert involved so the copy watch can be verified before purchase.
If you want to get your hands on the real deal, Diamond Watches London still has its high quality replica Rolex Space Dweller listed for sale at the time of writing this piece.
In 1957, perfect replica Rolex UK unveiled the Day-Date to flex upon itself. Rather than only displaying the date à la the Datejust, this new watch could display the date and the day of the week (get it? DAYDATE!). Adding to the flex, the Day-Date was available exclusively in precious metal (gold or platinum) and came with a new, three-piece link bracelet design, which, with time, came to be known as the ‘President’. This may start ringing a bell… the luxury fake Rolex “Presidential” is name-dropped in many of your favourite rap songs, initially getting its “head of state” association when it was famously worn by Lyndon B. Johnson (the 36th president of the United States, who stepped in after JFK’s 1963 assassination).
Donald Trump wears a Prezzy, too, as does Warren Buffet and other old, rich white guys. But it’s also a go-to for people like Drake, Rihanna, Tony Soprano, Emily Ratajkowski and even… the Dalai Lama. An avid watch collector, fascinated by the passing of time and how things work, his Holiness loves the best 1:1 replica Rolex Day-Date as a reminder to stay present, claiming that “There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done.
One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow. Today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.” Perhaps this quote inspired UK Swiss movement fake Rolex’s latest earth-shattering novelty, the high quality fake Rolex Day-Date “Emoji” watch that replaces dates with emojis and days with affirmation. May your day be “Blessed” and filled with “sunglass emoji” vibes.
