Nestled in a case full of yellow gold Day-Dates and various stone dial perfect replica Rolex at last week’s Miami Beach Antique Show, this humble white gold Datejust caught my eye and has been on my mind ever since.
Given the trend towards “classy” watches as opposed to “sport” watches, most collectors I encountered last week wanted to talk about Day-Dates and Cartiers more than Submariners and Daytonas. That’s great; I’ve always been a fan of the less-sporty vintage options. The watch you’ll find me wearing most is a gilt-dialed Explorer, probably the “dressiest” “sport” high quality copy Rolex. It’s smaller and delicate looking and humble. This Datejust is similar to the “sportiest” “dress” watch from the same era. It’s solid gold and very clearly a Datejust while featuring the same gilt dial finish as my Explorer and easily mistakable for stainless steel at a glance.
Tip: if you want to spot a vintage best fake Rolex Datejust in white gold, look for the little infill on the inside corners of the lugs, mimicking the midcase construction of the Day-Date. Anyway, Tariq probably doesn’t want to trade my 1016 for this 1601 straight up so someone else should go and grab this one while it’s still available. You’ll be the owner of the classiest, most under-the-radar vintage cheap super clone Rolex on the planet.
