For decades, buyers have been obsessed with larger Rolex watches. As a result, the luxury watch brand humbly caters to this demand. The problem with this is that while the average fake Rolex case size has begun to increase year after year, the size of the human wrist has not. As a result, men with thinner wrists find it difficult to find models that fit their wrists perfectly.
Whether you have slender or wide wrists, you want to wear a luxury watch that will enhance your overall look. In addition, many consider them investment pieces and buy them to sell Rolex watches at a higher value.
Rolex has always stood by its fans and insisted on creating watches in various case sizes. There is a Rolex for everyone! Here we look at some of the best Rolex models that look great on a slim wrist.
The Air-King is a modest model in the Sport collection and is often considered the entry-level model. Older versions of this model are available in 34mm cases and are highly prized by collectors for their timeless and classic style. The Ref. 5500, for example, is a popular variant with a versatile stainless steel case and a self-winding perpetual calendar movement. Although most Air-King watches are stainless steel models, few are available in two-tone combinations.
The other most popular entry-level replica Rolex is the Oyster Perpetual. The classic aesthetic of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual variant sets it apart from the rest. The 34mm case embodies form and function and highlights Rolex’s revolutionary craftsmanship. The model has undergone various innovative advances but still maintains its concept.
Day-Date watches are unique and embody the prestige and innovative spirit of the brand. They give you a luxurious experience and will turn heads with their grandeur. Rolex makes the Day-Date President in extraordinary metals, including platinum and yellow gold, which guarantees a high price when you sell your Rolex. This little message is for those who wish to purchase a Rolex.
The Explorer is a famous mountaineer’s tool watch with a 36mm case. This watch has a long and prestigious history and is ideal for slender wrists. The classic stainless steel Explorer Ref. 124270 has a distinctive black dial and highly visible hour markers. The dial of the latest clone Rolex Explorer model has characteristic luminous numerals at 3/6/9 o’clock.
Today, 36mm is considered the ideal size for smaller wrists. The Rolex models above are perfect for people struggling to find a small-diameter watch. They are sleek, stylish, and fit well on a man’s wrist.
Most Popular Rolex Lady-Datejust 26mm vs. 28mm
While Rolex’s Daytona, Submariner, and GMT-Master get all the headlines, it’s the relatively humble Lady-Datejust that qualifies as the brand’s best-selling watch of all time, and by a long shot.
It was the perfect watch for the common person, and fake Rolex decided early on to ensure it was also the perfect watch for women. Starting in the mid-1950s, the Datejust was available in various sizes, with the smallest 26mm version being named the Lady-Datejust.
The 26 mm model lasted from 1957 until 2015. It may have undergone many changes during that time, with significant variations in the materials used and the movement inside, but the size remained the same.
The original Rolex Lady-Datejust 65XX series lasted until 1970. All of the engineering experiments had already been done on the full-size men’s watches, so the tiny ladies’ watches could benefit from the initial trial and error – any remaining issues have been resolved over the last decade or so.
In 2015, Rolex finally decided to increase the size of its Golden Goose to match modern tastes.
In an era where it is increasingly common for women to wear watches traditionally considered “male sized,” 36mm and above, the brand increased the Lady-Datejust from 26mm to 28mm. This was done in 2012 by incorporating the 31mm model into the collection and retaining the 34mm Date.
The replica Rolex Datejust‘s phenomenal success can be attributed largely to the same factors as the men’s watch. Its simplicity and elegance have made it the little black dress of the watch world – it is the copy watch every well-dressed woman should own, backed by one of the industry’s biggest and most reliable names.
Like most of what Rolex produced in the 1950s, its style was so well judged from the start that it remained virtually unchanged.
The increase in size from 26mm to 28mm is just another typically thoughtful change that keeps the watch subtly in tune with its contemporary audience without losing the sheer sophistication for which it is known.
It remains the standard by which all other luxury women’s watches are measured and will continue to be the number one choice for decades.
Great vintage fake watches to start a collection
Starting a collection of vintage Rolex watches can be a daunting thing to do. When you start, your eyes are fixed on those awesome big money pieces you hope to own one day. You dream of scooping one up at a house auction and buying it for a bargain or making a big investment in something like a Paul Newman Daytona.
This vintage fake Rolex President 1803 is the perfect starting point for any beginner. Also known as the DayDate, this classic formal watch should be a staple in any collection. But what we love about this 1803 is its “pie plate” dial. The unique face makes this watch a great addition to your collection, as it is a staple model with an ironic twist that is sure to add value to your watch box.
We also love the 36mm yellow gold case and the serrated bezel of this watch, which stands out against the dark face. We have to say, that combination makes this watch look like it was made in the 1970s. It has an inherently vintage feel, and we love the brown strap strapped to the lugs. As a presidential watch, this watch also has an automatic movement with day and date functions (of course) and even a water-resistant screw-down crown.
The watch is crafted entirely in 14k yellow gold – from the case to the fluted bezel to the detailed Jubilee bracelet and secure Fliplock clasp. We love that this watch also comes with a champagne-colored dial, adding to the indulgent look that this classic watch is meant to convey. We can’t leave out the 1570 automatic movement inside that swings those luminous hands and flips the Date at 3 o’clock. Finally, the great thing about this watch is that you’ll want to wear it and enjoy it all the time – and the water-resistant, wearable Date allows you to do just that.
You don’t have to start your collection with a timeless classic. You can easily invest in an innovative timepiece, too. What we love about this GMT-Master 16753 is that this watch is just as cool and useful today as it was when it was produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Equipped with an automatic movement made for pilots in collaboration with Panamax, this replica Rolex watch keeps two time zones and military time. The oyster case also meant it could withstand high altitudes and deep seas.
The 5513 was produced from 1966 until the 1980s, with the earliest dials first equipped with instrument markers. It wasn’t until 1970 that they started writing the feet first, as they did on this one, showing how early and special this watch was. Otherwise, the case and dial are in excellent condition, as are the markers and matching cream-colored hands, which have aged beautifully over the years. It’s also important to note the fat front bezel, which has faded to this wonderful gray color and may one day fade away completely and become a ghost – which will certainly increase your value.
In 2023, How to buy a new Rolex?
Rolex does not sell any watches online, so when it comes to buying a new Rolex, the process is as simple as going to the brand’s website and finding the location of the nearest authorized Rolex retailer. However, anyone who has attempted to do so over the past few years has inevitably found that it is far less straightforward.
At the retail level, fake Rolex watches are less expensive than many other luxury brands. Most Rolex watches cost between $5,000 and $50,000 when purchased new, which is undoubtedly a lot of money but relatively inexpensive compared to some brands whose cheapest offerings start at six figures. In addition, Rolex retailers are not allowed to jack up the price of their watches, so the price you see online is the price you will pay. However, whether you can find a brand new Rolex watch for sale is another matter entirely.
Because Rolex is the world’s most famous luxury watch company, demand for Rolex watches far exceeds their supply worldwide, and the vast majority of Rolex’s most desirable models are entirely sold out at retailers. While they are still in production and technically available at retailers, it is impossible to purchase a brand new one without spending considerable time on the waiting list.
It’s almost impossible to talk about buying a new copy Rolex watch without discussing the infamous waiting lists for many of the brand’s most iconic and popular models. Many of Rolex’s most famous replica watches – including all of its stainless steel sports watches – are chronically sold out at dealers worldwide. Most have multi-year waiting lists that do not guarantee that you will receive a watch before the model is completely discontinued. Some of the brand’s top models, such as the stainless steel and ceramic Daytona, reportedly still have waiting lists of more than five years at some retail locations, although the model has been on the market for years.
While most stainless steel sports watches are the hardest to come by at the retail level, some specific models are the most sought-after, including the ceramic bezel Daytona ref. 116500, the latest version of the stainless steel GMT Master II ref. 126710, a Batman and Pepsi bezel, and the new Submariner 41 stainless steel model. 126610. Replica Rolex has also recently introduced some colourful Stella-inspired Oyster Perpetuals to their catalogue, which are also becoming harder to come by at local authorized dealers.
Rolex GMT-Master II 126720VTNR Green Bezel Review
Officially known as the 126720VTNR, the new GMT-Master II features a split green, black bezel and a matching green 24-hour hand. However, the new stainless steel GMT-Master II ref. 126720VTNR features its winding crown on the left side of the case, and the date is displayed at 9 o’clock.
Aside from the color and left-hand configuration, the new Rolex GMT-Master II 126720VTNR is the same as its currently produced siblings. However, these critical updates ultimately result in a watch that looks and feels distinctly different from any other GMT-Master II model fake Rolex has ever released.
While the Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126720VTNR is undoubtedly an unexpected addition to the collection, and it is not the first GMT-Master II in green. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the GMT-Master II, Rolex launched the number 116718LN, a watch made of solid 18-carat yellow gold and offering a bright green dial and black ceramic bezel.
Both models have been discontinued over the past few years, and in the time they’ve been out of the Rolex catalog, there hasn’t been a hint of green anywhere in the GMT-Master II line until the release of the reference 126720VTNR.
Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the new Rolex GMT-Master II 126720VTNR is its winding crown on the left side of the case. Often referred to as the “Destro” configuration, this inverted setup is designed primarily for lefties. However, it can also be favored by right-handers who want to keep the winding crown to the side to prevent it from digging into the back of their hand.
Throughout its history, Rolex has produced many examples of left-handed watches. However, in most cases, Rolex’s left-handed watches have been custom-made rather than the standard production models sold in the brand’s regular catalog. With this in mind, the Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126720VTNR is not a limited edition or a commissioned production piece but a standard addition to the brand’s lineup available for public purchase through Rolex’s regular retailer network.
Although the Rolex GMT-Master II 126720VTNR features a left-hand-winding crown configuration and a date window at 9 o’clock instead of the usual 3 o’clock position, it houses the same movement as the other models in the current GMT-Master II collection, and the latest version of the 42mm Explorer II.
Just like the other two stainless steel models in the current replica Rolex GMT-Master II line, the new 126720VTNR offers the choice of an Oyster bracelet or a Jubilee bracelet. Regardless of the bracelet style, both options are equipped with Rolex’s Oyster safety clasp, which has an additional locking clasp to prevent accidental opening. The clasp features Rolex’s Easylink extension system, which allows the bracelet to be extended or contracted by 5 mm entirely instantly and without using any tools.
Left-handed people only make up about 10% of the population, so it is somewhat puzzling that Rolex chose to create a desirable colorway for one of its most popular models while intentionally not offering this new colorway option outside of a single left-handed model. With that in mind, the waiting list for the new copy Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126720VTNR is already long at every retailer around the world, so plenty of right-handed watch enthusiasts are also interested in adding the new green-bezel GMT-Master II to their collections.
Why do fake Rolex watches cost so much?
To be fair, Rolex has a reputation for producing expensive watches, which the brand has cultivated on its own in many ways. Since the 1980s, Rolex has shifted its focus from being simply a manufacturer of high-quality watches to being the purveyor of the ultimate sought-after lifestyle – and the average price of a replica Rolex watch has risen.
Watches that were once essential tools for individuals engaged in a specific job or activity are now status symbols. The mechanical watch is no longer something you need but want, and the concept of exclusivity has become the brand’s main USP. Along with this comes a new cost structure. The average price of a Rolex steadily increased at an unprecedented rate until buying a cheap Rolex watch became a big deal – a reward for achieving a major personal milestone.
At the same time, however, Rolex began to offer more for the money. To perfect every aspect and every individual component, Rolex spent billions of dollars on research and development. It spawned a series of innovations such as impressive water resistance and a range of proprietary materials and lubricants specifically designed for longevity and performance. Whether under the immense pressure of the ocean depths or the extreme temperatures of a mountain top, replica Rolex watches keep running.
For its hairsprings, Rolex has developed a new alloy called Parachrom, which is antimagnetic and offers increased resistance to shocks and temperature changes. It also produced Cerachrom, a revolutionary ceramic material for bezels and inserts that is scratch- and fade-resistant. In addition, Rolex forges most of the metals used in its watches in its in-house foundry to ensure maximum quality, durability, and aesthetics.
Unlike other manufacturers, Rolex uses 904L stainless steel, a solid material that is exceptionally resistant to corrosion and erosion and maintains an unprecedented polish. It is also tough to machine, requiring Rolex to invest heavily in new tools and machinery. The brand’s 904L alloy (now known as Oyster steel) is not limited to high-end models but is used in all steel watches, from the most humble to the most advanced.
On top of that, copy Rolex is one of the few companies that creates and manufactures every movement in-house, rather than buying generic movements from companies like ETA and modifying them, giving them complete control over every aspect of their construction. Rolex also has its standards of precision, which go beyond the typical recognition of official Swiss chronometer certification. With this dedication to the art and engineering of watchmaking, Rolex’s price tag began to make sense.
Luxury 41mm grey Datejust II Rolex
Last month, I introduced the blue Datejust II produced by the Clean factory, and now, Clean has released another Datejust II replica watch, the grey Datejust 2. Both the blue and grey are two of the most popular Datejust models in our market, and the VS factory has produced them before, and they have sold very well. Now that the Clean factory has started producing Rolex replicas of the Submariner, Datejust, and GMT-Master, this is very good news for us as we can expect to receive the highest quality Rolex replica watches again. However, even though Clean claims they make the Datejust II blue and gray, that doesn’t mean you can get it.
I don’t know what’s happening now. Still, starting in 2021, Clean made several Rolex models, including the Submariner 116610LN, 116610LV, Submariner 126610LN, 126610LV, GMT-Master II Batman, GMT-Master II Pepsi, Datejust II Blue, Datejust II Grey. Still, when I ordered from this factory, they said that only Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV were in stock, and sometimes, there was a long wait to order 116610LV.
This gray Datejust II replica is also made of 904L stainless steel; it has a 41mm diameter case and measures 11.7mm thick. The fluted bezel matches the Jubilee bracelet perfectly, with the narrow three links in the middle of the bracelet looking like an extension of the fluting on the bezel. Out of so many Datejust II watches, I prefer this one in gray.
I think they don’t have it in stock about their GMT-Master II, so you usually have to wait more than a month to get a GMT Batman or Pepsi from the Clean factory. Maybe Clean factory mainly offers their watches to some big sellers online, like PureTime. I don’t know the rules inside.
The grey dial attracts me, and the sunlight looks more obvious on this grey dial. Each hour marker, hour, and minute hand has a white luminous coating that lasts for a long time. The finish of the hands now has better quality. You have a chance to get such a high-quality replica watch. You will be shocked by the clear finish on the dial.
Luxury Replica Rolex Submariner VS. GMT-Master II
Two watches, perhaps the two best known in the Rolex sports watch collection, that share such striking similarities that one could be forgiven for confusing them at a distance. They are just the fake Rolex Submariner Diver and the GMT-Master II.
To begin with, the similarities. The Submariner and the GMT-Master II are luxury watches. Both watches are currently housed in a so-called “super case” with a diameter of 40 mm and a ceramic or Cerachrom bezel insert. This case, made of 904L stainless steel, made its debut with the GMT in 2007. There are subtle differences between these two cases, but you need to put them side by side and look closely to see them.
However, where we start to see the differences between the Submariner and the GMT is in the bracelet. The Submariner features Rolex’s folding Oyster safety clasp and Glidelock extension system. On the other hand, the GMT’s Oyster features a more straightforward folding Oyster safety clasp with an Easylink 5 mm comfort extension bracelet. There have been several cases comparing the Submariner and the GMT.
The most significant difference between these two watches is the GMT’s extra hour hand, which is topped by a triangular “arrow.” This hand displays the hours in a 24-hour format. This fourth hand can be set independently of the main hour hand, while the 24-hour time is marked on the bi-directional rotating bezel.
When crossing time zones, one can move the GMT’s regular hour hand to reset to local time without affecting the position of the 24-hour hand. It makes such adjustments simple and routine for busy travelers.
Apart from that, the Submariner is a classic three-hand watch – hours, minutes, and seconds. It is available with or without a date function. It is available in all steel, two-tone steel and yellow gold, yellow and white gold, each with a revolutionary ceramic “Cerachrom” bezel.
Depending on the metal chosen, the bezel and dial color choice mean you have many variations for the Submariner. The unidirectional bezel is marked in typical dive watch fashion, with 5-minute increments, a number for every 10 minutes, and a 1-minute scale for the first 15 minutes.
On the other hand, the replica Rolex GMT Cerachrom bezel is marked in 24 one-hour increments. It is currently offered in several two-tone color schemes – black/blue “Batman” and red/blue “Pepsi,” or all black. So, there you have it. The two watches are siblings, almost identical, but both with their abilities.
A quiet price increase for Rolex
We have to admit that Rolex, the leading brand in the pre-owned market, has raised its retail prices by an average of 3.4% – which is reflected in the US prices on the official fake Rolex watches. For many models, this represents a jump of several hundred dollars, with some models costing more than $2,000.
While we usually expect price increases for most years, this year’s price increases depending on the model, with classic models like the Day-Date seeing minor average price increases and specialty models like the Daytonas and GMT Master II the most significant increases.
Rolex watches have been rising in price for decades and are now more expensive than ever – but the trend shows no signs of slowing down.
Due to ban restrictions and a soaring market, people have more money to spend, suggesting that demand for watches is outstripping supply, sending people to third-party dealers. The waiting list is now a decade long, and new pieces are becoming harder to find as prices climb on the pre-owned market.
Last September, Rolex claimed that “. Our current production cannot fully meet existing demand, at least without compromising the quality of our watches. We refuse to do so because the quality of our products cannot be compromised.
Some people who have been saving up for a watch will be disappointed by the price increase, but if you’re looking for a Rolex, it’s a safe and sound investment this year. And we would say that any price you can get from a genuine dealer should be considered a buying privilege.
You’ll be pleased to know that buying a pre-owned replica Rolex from a reputable dealer like us is much easier than buying a brand new Rolex yourself At our new High Street boutique in Epping, we have a large selection of models for you to admire.
While you may think the initial outlay is expensive for your new addition – if you manage to get a brand new watch – there is always the hope that its value will increase over time. It may be an excellent investment if it comes in a box and has the original paperwork.

Graduation is an important moment in a person’s life because it represents the end of an era and the beginning of a whole new chapter. Luxury watches are the perfect graduation gift, and they are a wearable way to celebrate this major milestone. Whatever your recent graduate plans to do next, they definitely need to be on time, and what better way to help them be on time than to give them a beautiful luxury watch?

Graduation is a big deal, and your recent graduate deserves the best gift possible. Luckily, there are fantastic luxury watches to suit every possible style and budget, and below we take a look at some of the top luxury watches suitable as graduation gifts this year.
When it comes to the price of a cheap Rolex Submariner, the sky is the limit and certain collectible vintage watches have sold for over a million dollars at auction. However, when it comes to choosing a Submariner for a recent graduate, one of the best models is the classic Submariner Date 16610 stainless steel watch with a black dial and matching black bezel.
Despite the recent interest in the brand’s various sporting models, the best-selling Rolex watch of all time is the classic Datejust. First introduced in 1945, the Rolex Datejust set the standard for calendar displays on watches and has been a cornerstone of the Rolex catalog ever since.
Since the 1950s, Rolex has offered the Datejust in a variety of sizes, and for those who want this timeless classic in a more compact size, the Lady-Datejust is a perfect choice, offering all the same legendary durability and chronograph performance in a 26mm or 28mm case. As for money, arguably the best value among all pre-owned Rolexes is the classic two-tone steel and gold fake Rolex Lady-Datejust, model 69173.
Aside from its reduced case size, the Rolex Lady-Datejust is largely the same Datejust that the world has known and loved for decades. For many, the Datejust is the quintessential Rolex, and the 69173 offers all the iconic features of the Rolex Datejust is a classic, compact, and easily identifiable overall package. Ref. 69173 has always been one of Rolex’s most affordable steel and gold watches and compared to the larger versions of this iconic Rolex classic ref. 69173 offers a value proposition that is hard to ignore.
