Rolex

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual, long the cornerstone of the brand’s catalog, regained its popularity in recent years with the introduction of vibrant dial colors in 2020. Initially met with collector enthusiasm, some unconventional options, like Coral Red and Yellow, quietly exited the scene in 2022. However, Rolex surprised enthusiasts at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2024 with the unveiling of the “Celebration” dial—a kaleidoscopic display featuring an asymmetric bubble motif. This whimsical dial, showcasing the popular colors from the 2020 lineup, stands as the most unconventional dial ever seen on a standard-production Rolex watch.

The Oyster Perpetual’s updated collection in 2020 introduced five dial colors that captured collector hearts: Green, Turquoise Blue, Coral Red, Yellow, and Candy Pink. Distinguished by glossy lacquer surfaces reminiscent of vintage “Stella” dials, these colors became emblematic of the modern Oyster Perpetual. The Celebration dial pays homage to this legacy, featuring the same five colors in an asymmetrical bubble motif, symbolizing the five case diameters available in the collection.

While the Celebration dial isn’t available for the 28mm and 34mm Oyster Perpetual versions, this isn’t surprising. When replica Rolex initially introduced the colorful dials, they were exclusive to the 31mm, 36mm, and 41mm models. The Celebration dial maintains this tradition, aligning with the original offerings.

Apart from the unique dial design, the Celebration dial watches are identical to standard Oyster Perpetual models. Crafted from 904L stainless steel (“Oystersteel”), they feature smooth bezels, flat sapphire crystals, screw-down casebacks, and Twinlock crowns ensuring 100 meters of water resistance. The three models—Celebration dial Oyster Perpetual 31 (ref. 277200), Oyster Perpetual 36 (ref. 126000), and Oyster Perpetual 41 (ref. 124300)—share the iconic three-link Oyster bracelet with a folding Oysterclasp and Easylink extension system.

The movements powering these replica watches differ based on case size. The Oyster Perpetual 36 and Oyster Perpetual 41 use the Caliber 3230, boasting a Blue Parachrom hairspring and a 70-hour power reserve. Meanwhile, the Oyster Perpetual 31 employs the Caliber 2232 with a Syloxi (silicon) hairspring and a 55-hour power reserve.

Rolex, often perceived as a conservative brand, has stepped into uncharted territory with the Celebration dial. The whimsical design, a departure from Rolex’s classical aesthetics, adds a playful touch. While the popularity of these colorful dials may wane, their existence challenges Rolex’s serious image, marking a refreshing venture into a more lighthearted design.

The Celebration dial comes without a price premium, aligning with the standard retail prices for their respective case sizes. The Oyster Perpetual 31 is priced at $5,650 USD, the Oyster Perpetual 36 Celebration dial at $6,100 USD, and the Oyster Perpetual 41 Celebration dial at $6,400 USD. Despite their uniqueness, the Celebration dial models offer an affordable entry into the world of distinctive Rolex watches.

While opinions on the longevity of the Celebration dial’s popularity may differ, its unconventional nature and vibrant charm undoubtedly make it a standout addition to the Rolex Oyster Perpetual collection. As Rolex continues to embrace unexpected designs, the Celebration dial serves as a testament to the brand’s ability to surprise and delight its audience.

In a delightful departure from tradition, Rolex has recently unveiled a collection of Rolex Oyster Perpetual replica watches that add a burst of color to their iconic lineup. These vibrant timepieces are a refreshing take on the classic Oyster Perpetual, infusing youthful energy and modern flair while maintaining the brand’s signature sophistication. 
The new Oyster Perpetual collection introduces vivid colors that resonate with diverse tastes and styles. From eye-catching shades of vibrant turquoise, coral red, and sunny yellow to the classic elegance of a deep green or a bold, vivid blue, these new options breathe life into the Oyster Perpetual lineup.
While the colors are new and exciting, the foundation of the Oyster Perpetual’s design remains timelessly appealing. The iconic Oyster case, the clean and legible dial, and the unmistakable Oyster bracelet—these hallmarks are all present, reminding us of Rolex’s unwavering commitment to quality and aesthetics.
The versatility of the Oyster Perpetual collection has always been one of its strengths, and the new colorful additions further enhance this aspect. These watches aren’t just meant for special occasions; they’re perfect for daily wear, seamlessly transitioning from the office to casual outings and adding flair to formal events.
The new Oyster Perpetual collection comes in a range of sizes, ensuring a model to suit every wrist. From the classic 36mm for a timeless look to the sportier 41mm size, each watch retains its elegance and charm while providing a comfortable fit.
Rolex’s decision to introduce such vibrant colors to its fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual collection is a bold step in its evolution. It shows that even a revered and established name like Rolex can embrace innovation and adapt to the preferences of the modern generation without compromising the core values that have made them legendary.
It’s a statement that speaks to Rolex’s ability to adapt while staying true to its heritage. These watches add a splash of color to your wrist and remind us that innovation and tradition can coexist in beautiful harmony. So, whether you’re a devoted Rolex replica enthusiast or seeking a luxurious timepiece that embraces contemporary aesthetics, the new Oyster Perpetual collection offers a fresh perspective on timeless elegance that’s impossible to ignore.

With the launch of the new RLX Titanium Yacht-Master 42, Rolex has admitted its big mistake. This is because this new watch is made of the same lightweight, high-tech, non-precious alloy that Rolex used for the first time in the huge pure-function Deepsea Challenge. Using this most useful alloy to showcase the Yachtmaster 42, Rolex no longer denies the Yachtmaster’s destiny as a “super submarine.”
Allow me to interject. Do you know what happened to the brother of Louis XIV, known as the Sun King? Well, his younger brother, Monsieur Philippe I, Duke of Orleans, was dressed as a girl when he was a child. In order to prevent possible infighting between the two brothers for the throne, Queen Anne, the mother of both brothers, together with the powerful Cardinal Mazarin, decided to dress the little one as a girl and make him lose his masculinity. Does Rolex know this terrible historical story? Did the royal family replicate this strategy to “deal” with yachting celebrities? It sure seems so. Queen Anne and Cardinal Mazarin never corrected or apologized for their behavior. Rolex somehow made up for its mistake by finally letting Yacht Prestige be what it was meant to be – a superior submarine for the next generation.
Since Daan has written about his first-hand experience with the RLX Titanium Rolex Yacht Prestige 42, I’ll stick around to say a few words about my first encounter with the watch at the 2023 watch show. When I first saw the watch behind the showcase glass, I didn’t like the look of it. However, things quickly changed once I got it at the press conference. On the hand, and more importantly on the wrist, the Yacht Prestige 42 looks and feels like a grey, stealthy RLX Titanium premium tool watch.
In particular, the sinister-looking frosted Cerachrom bezel combined with the polished numerals and the titanium’s grey tones. These features, combined with the dial’s black color, clearly reveal the deepest essence of the Yacht Prestige. The superb finishing of the replica watch and strap is also an expression of luxury. Those subtle, polished touches bring sparkle to the gray mainstream dress.
The Yacht Prestige was supposed to be better than the Submariner, that’s all. But the watch was denied its rightful place on the Rolex throne by the “King” himself. Thirty-one years after launching the Sub 2.0 and positioning it close to, but not in, its natural habitat, Rolex recognizes its mistake. And Rolex was generous enough to not only acknowledge it but to correct it. The painful truth is out. Now, let the healing of the Rolex Yacht Prestige begin with the new Yacht Prestige 42 in RLX Titanium.

Rolex has raised their prices again for 2023. Discover which watches are seeing the biggest increases and what the impact will be.
Rolex raises prices again for 2023
For the past two years, January 1st has been an important date on the Rolex calendar. It is the day when the annual price increase is announced. While this makes sense, we are a little surprised that this is happening again this year. The fact that Rolex is not raising prices is on our list of Rolex 2023 predictions.
It’s hard to blame clone Rolex for raising prices considering most of their watches are priced higher upfront than they are new. To be fair, the cost of most things has gone up in recent years, and inflation has sent the world economy spiraling. 2023 price increases are not outrageous, and tend to be mostly for precious metal watches. You can find out how much each reference and collector’s item has risen with our 2023 Price Increases report.
Across all collections, Rolex raises prices by an average of 3.45% in 2023, or $733 per watch. Two-tone and sold gold watches saw the largest price increases, while stainless steel watches saw slight price increases.
One could argue that Rolex watches are already too expensive, and with the recent price increases, this may be even more evident. While they are currently trading at high prices on the pre-owned market, we suspect that this will not last long. Rolex is now producing more watches, and the prices of the past few years have made them harder to buy. We fully expect that we will soon see new models back in the box with a reduced waiting list, which may actually be what Rolex wants. They are essentially controlling their supply and demand by producing more watches and maximizing their revenue.

Rolex watches are luxury watches made from the finest raw materials, expertly assembled with meticulous attention to detail. As an extremely sought-after brand, Rolex has taken on a role beyond that of a mere timekeeper. They are widely regarded as a status symbol and, depending on the model, can be used for several different types of activities, from expeditions and deep-sea diving to special events and dinner dates.
Why are Rolex watches expensive?
Because they are considered luxury items, Rolex watches often have a four-figure price tag, making them one of the most well-known and expensive watch brands. They are expensive because Rolex takes the time to develop more efficient manufacturing methods, as well as new technologies, to stay ahead of the competition.
The materials used are much more expensive than those used in regular watches due to the extremely high cost of in-house development in terms of design and craftsmanship. Rolex tends to use 904L steel, which is way ahead of most of its counterparts in the luxury market, which means it can maintain its value over time.
How do you know a pre-owned Rolex is genuine?
There are a number of ways you can determine if a pre-owned Rolex is genuine, but it is important to make sure you are buying from a trustworthy seller who has positive reviews and a five-star rating on Trustpilot.
When checking serial numbers and model numbers, any markings should be engraved with a perfectly fine line. Counterfeit Rolex watches usually have low-quality markings that are easy to spot. In a new Rolex watch, the serial number is displayed on the inner Rehaut.
While buying a used Rolex watch can be a daunting experience, at Miltons Diamonds we offer an excellent 2 year warranty on all our Rolex watches to provide you with peace of mind.
If the Rolex is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, the watch can be sent to the manufacturer for repair through Miltons Diamonds or an authorized retailer. If your watch is under Miltons Diamonds warranty, this means that, if necessary, we will work with the manufacturer to fix any faults in your watch during this time.

Today, I would like to introduce the “Pan Am Daytona”. It is not often that we come across a brand new discovery in the world of Rolex. Having traveled the world for many years for my passion for vintage Rolex, I may have examined most of the rarest Rolexes up close, but when I first saw the “Pan Am”, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Especially after the fake Rolex Daytona reached cult status, with all the articles and studies written about it, specialized books appearing on the market, and Christie’s holding an auction dedicated to the Daytona last year, it’s hard to even imagine anything that no one has ever seen before we’re not talking here about a known configuration of a different metal or a printed subdial difference. Nor is it a prototype. No, the “Panamerican” Cosmograph is rewriting history on its own, as it was the first “special order” delivered by Rolex to the United States, and is therefore extremely important to Rolex’s legacy.
For those of you who don’t know much about all the Daytona versions, you can study them in the Rolex books by John Goldberger or Pucci Papaleo, and I will explain to you the important details of the “Pan Am Daytona”. First, of course, we immediately notice the blue “Pan Am” logo. In order for the “Pan Am” logo to be printed in the middle of the upper half, the “Rolex” and “Oyster” had to be moved higher to place the logo. So instead of using the existing dial to add this special custom logo, replica Rolex had to create a newly printed cliché for this Pan Am by adding the model name near the 6 o’clock position: “Cosmograph” ……
So far, we only know this particular Rolex dial layout from the “Oman” and “Qaboos” Daytona, where the Sultan’s Khanjar or signature insignia is printed on the dial and is clearly visible. Everyone in the Rolex collecting community believes that the special order of Sultan Qaboos bin Saeed Al Said at the British Rolex representation “Asprey” are the only known Rolex replica watches. But in fact, the “Panamericana” Daytona, the inspiration for Rolex’s later Arabian Daytona, was not made out of thin air but was made after Rolex made the Panamericana. Do you want to know how I know this? Simple, the serial number of the “Pan Am” Cosmograph is 3.5xx.xxx, while the serial number of the Arabian is 3.65x.xxx, thus later in Rolex’s production. The serial number of the “Pan Am” is engraved as usual between the lugs, as we see in the “Special Order”, and also on the case back, where they are identical.
So far, RPR-PAB-Daytona Rolex has been linked to Pan Am for the official delivery of the GMT Master to their pilots. We have seen many advertisements in which both companies proudly show their collaboration. Reference 6263 “Panamax” as it is found in all original condition with black gumwood. It was most likely made by Rolex in 1973 particularly for the CEO of Pan Am to celebrate their successful partnership of many years at the time. I’m still working my way through official Pan Am and Rolex documents to clarify its provenance. Once I know more, I will report back.

We all know that the retail price isn’t an accurate reflection of the actual market value of this ultra-desirable watch. Because the production of the stainless steel Daytona is relatively fixed, the request for them is rather high, and every single retailer around the world has a lengthy waitlist for this model.
Actually, a brand-new stainless-steel replica Rolex Daytona ref. 116500 watches consistently sell for between twice and three times their brand-new retail price on the secondary market, simply as buyers and collectors are willing to pay above retail to skip the multi-year waiting list.
What’s more, despite the fact that the stainless steel and ceramic Daytona 116500LN has now been available for more than half a decade and each year there are more examples in circulation than the year before, the watch still remains near-impossible to purchase at a retail level. Pre-owned prices keep on increasing from one year to the next, and waiting lists at authorized retailers seem to only get increasingly longer.
Given that the fake Rolex Daytona ref. 116500LN is easily one the most desirable (and hard-to-find) watches in the world, there are quite a few common questions about this iconic luxury timepiece. waiting lists.
While they are expensive, Rolex Daytona watches are generally very good investments. Vintage Rolex models sell for significantly more than their original retail prices, with some select models selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even contemporary models that are still in production like the ref. 116500LN often sells on the secondary market for more than twice their brand-new retail prices, simply because they are so hard to find and exclusive to own.
As one of the most prestigious and popular replica watches in Rolex’s entire catalog, demand for the Daytona 116500LN is likely to remain surprisingly strong. With a waiting list at retailers for this watch since it was first announced in 2016, we believe the Ref. 116500LN is a great investment for watch enthusiasts and serious collectors alike and will hold its value for many years to come.

These seemingly minor upgrades change the proportions of the entire watch – including the body of the case, the bezel, the dial, and the strap. This means you’re looking at a completely new model. If you put the new Oyster Perpetual Submariner next to its predecessor (which is being discontinued), the changes become obvious. The new Submariner looks more than a millimeter larger than the old model, thanks to extensive modifications to the tiniest of details.  
Less obvious is the new in-house self-winding movement, Caliber 3230 because like any Rolex watch, it is covered by a finely slotted case-back that is tightened airtight with a special key and can only be opened by an authorized Rolex watchmaker. The 3235 caliber differs in that there is no date display on the Submariner’s dial.
Otherwise, all other functions are the same. The new Submariner is equipped with the innovative Chronergy escapement patented by fake Rolex and made from a nickel-phosphorus alloy. It offers exceptional functional reliability and high energy efficiency and is resistant to the effects of magnetic fields. The movement also boasts an optimized version of the Rolex Parachrom hairspring.
Rolex produces the hairspring in-house with a paramagnetic alloy, which makes it 10 times more accurate than a conventional hairspring. It also has a special Rolex overcoil that ensures a constant rate in all positions. The oscillator is supported by the excellent patented Paraflex anti-vibration system designed by Rolex. Both the caliber 3230 and the caliber 3235 have a 70-hour power reserve thanks to the more efficient design of the escapement and barrel. In addition to the COSC chronometer test, the watch must also pass Rolex’s rigorous in-house “Super Chronometer” test, which allows a deviation of no more than 2 seconds per day, according to the current 2015 norms.
The Submariner collection comes from a time when dive watches were used more for professional applications than for recreational diving. For this reason, they remain true to their original appeal today – because clearly reading the time during a dive is a matter of life and death. The clear and simple Submariner dial has therefore remained the same. The hour and minute hands have been adapted from the replica Rolex Deepsea and are distinguished from each other to prevent any confusion. The triangular, circular, and rectangular markers are designed to provide orientation and increased readability, as well as to prevent possible errors underwater or on dry land. The hands and markers are coated with replica Rolex Chromalight luminous material and glow bright blue in the dark. The eye-catching dot at the end of the second-hand serves as a function check and is also luminous. In addition, the zero markers on the diving bezel are filled with the same luminous material to provide better positioning when setting the dive time.

For Rolex, the 1950s saw the emergence of a large number of dedicated sports and tool watches; however, until the late 1950s, these models were largely based on the platform of Rolex’s existing Turn-O-Graph replica watches. It wasn’t until the late 1950s that these collections began to develop their own specialized designs, and Rolex sports watches began to take on the forms that eventually became what they are today.  
The reference 1675 debuted in 1959 as the follow-up to the inaugural Rolex GMT-Master. With the launch of the ref. 1675, the case diameter grew to 40mm, and crown-guards were added to the side of the case to offer better protection for the winding crown. While Rolex’s iconic pilot’s watch would go through numerous updates and refinements over the years, the blueprint first established by the reference 1675 would go on to define the general design of the GMT-Master collection for the next a few decades.
The Rolex GMT-Master 1675 kept in production for a rather long period of time and continued to be a part of Rolex’s catalog up until 1980. However, in spite ofits long production run, the reference 1675 did not remain the exact same throughout the years, and the watch would undergo a number of updates and changes as Rolex continued to upgrade and improve upon its initial design.
The very first ref. 1675 GMT-Master watches received glossy gilt dials, small 24-hour hands, and cases that featured pointed crown guards (named as PCG cases). Throughout the 1960s, Rolex replica began to transition away from these traits, and by the mid/late 1960s, all GMT-Master 1675 watches featured matte dials, large 24-hour hands, and square crown-guards. While the reference number and core functionality of the watch did not change, early examples of the ref. 1675 represent significant aesthetic departures from their later-era counterparts.
This unique fake Rolex GMT-Master 1675 dates to approximately 1963 and features a PCG case, a gilt ‘Swiss-Only’ dial, a small 24-hour hand, and an original fat-font ‘Pepsi’ bezel insert. The luminous material on the original dial and hands produced a rich creamy color and featured a retro oyster bracelet, making it an excellent example of the early production of the 1675 Rolex GMT-Master watch.
