It seems that most actions made by Rolex bear great fruits, in the end, all the time. Each separate element that goes into any one of their designs has a target; whether it’s to increase the appearance or the functionality, everything has to earn its place.
However, the bracelets of Rolex Replicas are no different. The trinity of metal bands outfitted across the various models in their catalog—the Jubilee, the President, and the Oyster—are themselves minor works of art and masterpieces of engineering excellence.
But while the metal bracelets are the most outstanding, and rightly so, the fake Rolex’s leather straps receive the same obsessive level of scrutiny and perfection. Nowhere near as abundant, the watches they are attached to are chosen with the utmost care to improve the overall look and feel.
Substituting a fake watch’s metal bracelet for a leather strap gives you a totally new watch, in the same way that the appearance of a suit is completely chosen by different styles of shirt and tie.
There’s just something a little more business-like about a black leather strap. They give sports models soberness that only increases their versatile nature and they can tone down the flamboyance of a yellow gold case or diamond accents on a dress watch.
The Cellini collection, named after the 16th-century Italian sculptor Benvenuto Cellini, is as tastefully simple as Rolex gets. Their aims as pieces of jewelry to be worn on special occasions rather than as tools to help you through the day are underlined by their status as the only pieces in the brand’s lineup not to be housed in an Oyster case. The slim profile and graceful contours are designed to slip under a shirtsleeve for those events where a black-tie isn’t optional.
The ideal watch, then, for a leather strap. With their modest size, a metal bracelet would always look out of place, distracting from the refined look of the dial and the flowing lines of the case.
Our Rolex model is a great example. The 32mm yellow gold model launched in 1999 features a supple black leather Rolex strap that contrasts beautifully against the crisp whiteness of the face. Long, slender hands sweep over gold hour markers, giving an extremely legible readout, with the large ‘VI’ index being the only quirky detail on the otherwise unadorned façade.
The manually winding caliber and lack of a seconds hand only stress its position as an out and out showpiece—a replica watch for watch lovers and for those looking to top off a formal outfit with the final exquisite touch.
