The Rolex Datejust is an enduring design that is as relevant today as it was when it first appeared in 1945, the same year World War II ended. Throughout all this time, the appeal of the Datejust has remained universal; it has never gone out of style or been considered some sort of antiquated and outdated relic of another era, simply because the Rolex Datejust is a watch for everyone. Whether you want a Rolex that makes a statement or you just want a “good watch” that can go anywhere and last a lifetime, the Datejust is an absolutely great choice. For decades, the fake Rolex Datejust has been the luxury watch of choice for countless buyers around the world, and it is the quintessential example of a timeless, top-quality watch.  
Arguably, the Datejust typifies Rolex watches better than any other model. It set the standard for calendar displays on watches for the first time and has been a true cornerstone product in the luxury watch industry for over three-quarters of a century. Worn by countless celebrities, professional athletes, and political leaders, the fake watch has become so much a part of the fabric of our culture that if you say the word “Rolex” to the average person, the first image that comes to their mind is likely to be that of the model. Given the brand’s long history and the vast number of variations created over the decades, deciding on the right model can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. That’s why we’ve compiled a handy ultimate buying guide that lays out all the important details to help you make a perfect choice.   
To create this historic watch, Rolex combined two previous innovations – a water-resistant Oyster case from 1926 and a self-winding perpetual calendar movement from 1931 – with a new date display on the dial. It also features a bracelet called the Jubilee, which is characterized by a five-link construction composed of semicircular links. The first Datejust was made entirely of gold, with a 36 mm case featuring a fluted bezel with a coin edge. Over the next few years, the Rolex replica continued to modify the Datejust and added details that are now key to the watch’s design. For example, in 1953, the bubble-shaped Cyclops lens was mounted on the outside of the crystal to magnify the date display.
The 2000s brought some noteworthy additions to the Datejust line. 2008 saw the introduction of the larger Datejust II, which featured a 41mm case. Then in 2015, Rolex stated that the Lady-Datejust would now feature a slightly larger 28mm case instead of a 26mm one. Eventually, in 2016, the Datejust 41 replaced the Datejust II as the larger option in the collection. While they both have the same official case size, the newer Datejust 41 offers more restrained design touches and a new generation of movements.

We all know that celebrities and the media do influence the secondary market. As a matter of fact, there were times when a member of the team was chasing a specific value proposition and begged an editor not to cover the replica watch until he had acquired it. This surge of interest occurred after the Daytona-fest of John Mayer’s Talking Watch Part II, where the singer inadvertently blew up the 2016 Daytona in gold and green dials overnight.
While the stunning steel Daytona is Rolex’s chronograph, in 2016 the brand also released new variations of their classic chronograph in white and yellow gold. Today, we take a look at the Reference 116508 in 18k yellow gold with a new green dial – a color combination that no Australian can resist.  
The 116508 is the same 40mm Oyster case, powered by the 4130 caliber and accurate to within -2/+2 per day. Actually, the only difference between this model and the earlier ones is the dial. But what a deal it is. The yellow gold version of the replica Rolex Daytona most often has a black or champagne-colored dial – the shine and richness of the green are amazing.
Of course, green is a special color for Rolex, but in this case, that green is not like the bright shades of the Green Submariner or the mossy green of the new Day-Date 40. It’s a rich color, somewhere between the green of pine trees and British racing cars, done in a starburst technique that both complements and contrasts with the case – to stunning effect. Moreover, it’s a solid gold fake Rolex, so it’s not exactly the most inconspicuous of timepieces. But why is this watch pretending to be something else? The green color amplifies the watch’s character without making it look over the top.  
Gold has fallen out of favor over the past few years, with red or pink gold being more fashionable. For many people, the brighter shades of this metal are too brash and garish. I think this is a short-term view. After all, red gold has been fashionable for the last 20 years or so. For the last 6,000 years, gold has been the king of precious metals. I think it’s safe to say that the luster of gold is not going to fade anytime soon.
