Common Questions About the Rolex President Day-Date

The Rolex Day-Date is highly coveted for its classical design, premium materials, and illustrious heritage. Here are some of the most common questions asked about the Rolex President Day-Date.

WHAT IS A ROLEX DAY-DATE?

The Rolex Day-Date is the flagship collection of Rolex introduced in 1956. It is composed of classically designed watches made exclusively in 18k gold (yellow, white, rose or Everose) and platinum. It is characterized by two apertures on its dial – one to display the date, and another to display the day of the week in full – plus a three-piece bracelet called the President.

WHY IS A ROLEX DAY-DATE SO EXPENSIVE?

The Rolex Day-Date has a higher price tag because of its premium materials and more complicated movement. Except for very rare vintage models, the Day-Date has never been offered in steel or two-tone configurations. They are exclusively crafted in solid 18k gold or in 950L platinum. Moreover, its movement allows for two apertures to display the date, and the day of the week in full.

HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY ROLEX DAY-DATE IS GENUINE?

With the exception of very rare vintage models, all AAA perfect replica Rolex Day-Date watches are made only from solid 18k gold or platinum, which are relatively heavy materials. If your Rolex Day-Date does not have the heft of these materials, then it is likely fake.

Moreover, each Rolex timepiece is made to the highest standards. Check the quality of its bezel, markers, and the text on the dial, date and day windows. If even a minute detail comes across as sub-standard, you can be certain that it’s not the real deal.

IS THE ROLEX DAY-DATE WATERPROOF?

Why I Bought It (The Day Before It Was Discontinued): Luxury UK Fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 Watches With White Dial Reference 114300

Leave a Reply

In 2015, Rolex released the AAA UK replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches in 39 mm (“OP39”) to a warm reception. When I tried it on at that year’s Baselworld (oh, the memories!), I was impressed that at 39 mm Rolex had chosen the perfect size for its entry-level steel sports watch, one that fit most people regardless of gender or wrist size, and (relatively) reasonably priced at $5,700.

Unlike the Rolex Daytona and Submariner models, the sporty Oyster Perpetuals were (and remain) much easier to purchase with little to no wait time from authorized dealers.

While all this sounded good, my excitement was short-lived as I did not find any of the three colors 1:1 best Rolex fake watches offered at the time – dark rhodium, red grape, or blue – to be very compelling. I thought that I would eventually get bored with any one of these colors.

Yet the perfect size and slim profile of the Oyster Perpetual 39 mm haunted me enough to put it on my “must buy” list.

Three years later, in 2018, Rolex surprisingly released two additional colors for the OP39: black and white. I did not get a chance to see either one of them in the metal at that time, but I heard from other journalists and bloggers that the white dial version was one of the nicest cheap Swiss Rolex replica watches of the year.

One even referred to it as a grail watch. Gary Shteyngart, American novelist and noted watch collector, described the OP39 white dial as his “exit watch.”

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 mm: my winding journey

Because I wasn’t happy enough with the first dial colors offered at the launch of the Oyster Perpetual 39 mm, in my search for the ideal 39 mm Swiss movements Rolex copy watches, I placed the Explorer 1 (Reference 214270), which is also 39 mm in diameter, on my must-buy list.

I eventually bought an Explorer 1 from a Rolex boutique in Prague and was happy wearing it for a while. In 2019, I attended a casual get-together (oh, the memories!) with couple of watch collectors, one of whom brought his OP39 with white dial on a nice vintage-style green leather strap.

I feel embarrassed admitting now that I did not care to see his A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk or his other indie top replica Rolex watches as I was laser-focused on the OP39.

My first impression was that it is not exactly a white dial. Even under bright light, it is more an eggshell white. This gives the dial a warmer hue compared to the stark white dial of the Rolex Explorer 2.

Even though the Oyster Perpetual 39 mm was the least expensive wholesale fake Rolex sports watches, it is equipped with the same white gold hands and markers as the brand’s most expensive sports watch. The case has a slim profile and is brushed on the surface, polished on the sides, and sports a polished bezel.

The eggshell dial softens the overall appearance in contrast to the polished bezel.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 mm with white dial

It was love at first sight! I put the best quality replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 mm watches on my wrist and immediately thought it was the perfect GADA (Go Anywhere, Do Anything) watch. If I was a one-watch person (oh, the memories!), this would have been it.

I could wear it without any hesitation with smart business attire, business casual clothes, or a carefree t-shirt and jeans. I could go from office to pool with no problem since this Rolex super clone watches shop site is water resistant to 100 meters. During the winter, I could change the bracelet to a comfortable leather strap and it wouldn’t take anything away from being an everyday watch. It oozes versatility.

Fast forward to early summer of 2020: I contacted the Rolex boutique in Prague for a visit in August, who agreed to hold both an OP39 in white and a Submariner Reference 114060 for me.

Meanwhile, I decided to sell my Explorer 1 to a good photographer friend in Prague well below the resale value (oh, the memories!) to make room (and budget) for these two new 2022 Rolex replica watches. The Explorer just did not resonate with me; I considered it as something between the Oyster Perpetual and the Submariner.

On the evening of August 31, I picked up both the OP39 white and the Submariner. And less than 24 hours later Rolex discontinued both watches!

While the Submariner was upgraded with a more symmetrical design and a more robust movement, it was shocking to learn that the OP39 was discontinued after just two years in production. Relatively speaking, there were likely not that many of the white dial variations manufactured. Even so, with so much adulation from enthusiasts and insiders it was surprising that Rolex fake watches paypal discontinued it within two years.

Rolex replaced the OP39 mm with a larger 41 mm Oyster Perpetual in a variety of colorful dials, a lightly redesigned dial layout, and a newer movement. The OP41 turned out to be wildly popular with its “Stella-inspired” dials – like the one GaryG acquired in Why I Bought It: Rolex Stella-Inspired AAA perfect replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 watches With Turquoise Blue Dial – as it offered more of a playful style of sports watch that can be worn by anyone.

Even with the success of the slightly larger new Oyster Perpetual models, the OP39 is sorely missed as many social media posts and articles attest. Rolex had created a perfect everyday watch, and many watch enthusiasts who had it on their short lists missed out on the opportunity. Due to the short run, second-hand prices have skyrocketed north of $9,000 and likely will only go higher as supply diminishes and demand rises.

I can well understand why Mr. Shteyngart called the OP39 an “exit watch.” I can picture just wearing my OP39 well into my retirement until it becomes known as “Dad’s watch.”

My wife doesn’t care for most of the Rolex fake watches paypal my collection, but this Rolex is one we both agree on and share. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 mm White Dial will also be a fond memory of our lucky visit to the Prague Rolex boutique, not knowing the bombshell news that would drop the very next day.

The Rolex Daytona celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2023, and fans are growing curious about how The Crown will celebrate this occasion.

In the meantime, let’s brush up on our Rolex Daytona knowledge with the help of SwissWatchExpo’s ultimate guide.

About the Rolex Daytona

Many view the Rolex Daytona as the “Rolex chronograph”, but the brand actually began producing chronograph Swiss made Rolex replica watches as early as the 1930s.

What set the earliest Daytona models apart and paved the way for the creation of the collection, were two pivotal decisions: in 1963, when Rolex moved the tachymetric scale from the periphery of the dial to the bezel; and in 1965, when the Daytona name finally appeared on the dial. These two characteristics still help define the Rolex Daytona’s aesthetics until today.

The Rolex Daytona’s long and rich heritage is marked by the following events:

1903: The history of racing in Florida begins at Daytona Beach and Ormond Beach. From its beginnings as a pastime for the rich, it slowly becomes a popular sport, and Daytona, Florida rises as the World Capital of Speed.

1935: British racer Sir Malcolm Campbell becomes the first person to drive over 300 miles per hour, while wearing a Rolex Oyster

1959: The Daytona International Speedway opens and becomes the home of the Daytona 500, the most prestigious and important race in NASCAR

1962: Rolex becomes the official timekeeper of the Daytona International Speedway

1963: The first perfect Rolex Daytona copy watches is introduced. The ref 6239 has its tachymeter scale engraved on the metal bezel to enhance the legibility of the dial.

1965: The word “Daytona” first appears on the dial. In the same year, Rolex introduced the “exotic” dial, characterized by a contrasting outer seconds track, and Art Deco font on the chronograph registers

Late 1960s: Actor and racer Paul Newman becomes a devotee of the Rolex Daytona “exotic” dial, often wearing it to his races

1980s: Collectors give the nickname “Paul Newman” to this particular Daytona dial, and interest in earlier Daytona models grows among watch collectors

1988: The second generation of Rolex Daytona replica watches for sale are equipped with self-winding movements

2000: The third generation of Swiss movements fake Rolex Daytona watches are upgraded with Rolex’s first in-house chronograph movement, the Caliber 4130

2017: Paul Newman’s personal Daytona becomes the most expensive Rolex wristwatch ever sold at auction, amounting to $17.8 million

Key Features of the Rolex Daytona

Whether they’re vintage or modern, all top replica Rolex Daytona watches are sports chronographs used to measure elapsed time and calculate average speeds. The aesthetics of the Rolex Daytona has evolved through the decades, but the following components remain:

TACHYMETER BEZEL

The Rolex Daytona has always had a tachymeter scale, which measures speed based on time traveled over a fixed distance. It appeared on the perimeter of the dial in earlier models, then was eventually transferred to the bezel to improve the dial’s readability.

Materials used for the tachymeter bezel have also been varied through the years. A black acrylic bezel was used on a sister reference of the inaugural ref 6234.

Second generation Rolex Daytonas have bezels made of precious metals, while the Cerachrom ceramic bezel was introduced in third generation models.

There are also rare and exclusive models with gem-set bezels, with the tachymetric scale swapped out for diamonds or other precious gems.

PUSHERS

The first chronograph Rolex super clone watches wholesale online were equipped with single push buttons on the side, eventually switching to pump chronograph pushers.

In 1965, Rolex equipped the Daytona with screw-down pushers to improve water resistance and robustness. These would eventually become integral to the design.

CHRONOGRAPH SUBDIALS

The Rolex Daytona has two upper, contrasting subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock. The one at 3 o’clock registers the minutes, while the one at 9 o’clock registers the hours. The subdial at 6 o’clock indicates the running small seconds of the watch.

Before the year 2000s, the running seconds sub-dial was at the 9 o’clock position. It was moved down to the 6 o’clock spot to give the dial a better balance along its vertical axis.

OYSTER BRACELET

Most Rolex Daytona models are equipped with three-link Oyster bracelets, either in stainless steel, steel and gold, solid gold, or platinum. There are a few exceptions to these: vintage models with five-link bracelets, and modern 18k gold references that are fitted with either leather straps or Oysterflex rubber bracelets with matching gold clasps.

Three Generations of the Rolex Daytona

Over its 60-year history, the Rolex Daytona has undergone three major transformations. These are generally referred to as the three ‘generations’ of Rolex Daytona replica watches store site.

FIRST GENERATION (1963 – 1988)

Reference Numbers: 6239, 6241, 6240, 6262, 6264, 6265, 6263 and 6269 / 6270

Movements: Manual Valjoux 72, Valjoux 722, Valjoux 727

The original series of the Rolex Daytona had four-digit reference numbers and manual-wind movements. The movement sets this generation apart from the two succeeding series, which had self-winding movements. It was also during this generation that screw-down pushers and tachymeter bezels were introduced.

SECOND GENERATION (1988 – 1999)

Reference Numbers: 16520, 16523, 16528, 16518, 16568, 16519, 16588, 16589, 16559 and 16598

Movements: Caliber 4030

The second generation of the Rolex Daytona used five-digit reference numbers, and were the first to be equipped with self-winding movements. This generation is considered the transition of the Rolex Daytona from the vintage era to the modern era.

During this period, the following improvements were introduced:

    increased case diameter from 37mm to 40mm

    switch to sapphire crystal from acrylic crystals

    hour markers changed from blocks to elongated arrow head markers sub-dials with contrasting outer track

These changes put the Daytona towards a contemporary standard. However, the movement has yet to become completely in-house, as the Caliber 4130 was based on the Zenith El Primero’s Caliber 400 movement.

THIRD GENERATION (2000 – present)

Reference Numbers: 116500, 116503, 116515, 116505, 116508, 116518, 116519, 116509, 116506

Movements: Caliber 4130

The third generation of the Rolex Daytona was introduced in 2000, and remains in production today. This generation makes use of six-digit reference numbers, and were the first to be equipped with Rolex’s in-house chronograph movement, the Caliber 4130.

The series introduced the following features that we see in Rolex Daytona today:

    introduction of the first models to be made in platinum, white gold & Everose gold

    introduction of the first models to be equipped with Cerachrom ceramic bezels

    introduction of the leather strap and Oysterflex strap options

    running seconds sub-dial relocated from 9 o’clock to the 6 o’clock position
