The 2023 Rolex Yacht Prestige 42 Titanium is the latest addition to the Yacht Prestige collection, which has been a favorite among sailors and yachtsmen since its introduction in 1992. Featuring a 42mm case made of Rolex’s proprietary RLX titanium, this new Rolex model offers both a lightweight feel and unparalleled durability. In addition, the 2023 Rolex Yachtmaster 42 Titanium is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the high seas while maintaining its attractive appearance.
The Oyster case and bracelet are made of RLX titanium, ensuring superior corrosion resistance, a lightweight feel and comfort for the wrist. The Rolex Yachtmaster 42 Titanium is unique because it is the first watch in Rolex’s history to feature titanium construction. Many well-known brands have used this lightweight material to good effect in the past, and many believe it is time for Rolex to do the same thing. We believe the Rolex Yacht Prestige 42 Titanium could surpass the replica Rolex Submariner as the most durable watch in the Rolex family.
There is no doubt that this watch is a tool replica watch through and through. The full satin finish of the Rolex Yacht Prestige 42 Titanium reflects this. The hardness of the titanium combined with the satin/brushed finish will ensure that this watch will retain its appearance for a long time.
The black unidirectional rotating bezel has a black ceramic Cerachrom to insert with a 60-minute scale, offering optimal readability and resistance to scratches and fading. This bezel design aesthetic is not new to Rolex, but there is no need to change a good thing. This bezel is perfect for the Rolex Yachtmaster 42 Titanium.
Water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), the Yacht Prestige 42 Titanium is ideal for water activities and nautical adventures. Although it is not a diving watch, you will never have any problems wearing this watch while participating in water sports.
The Oyster bracelet has a locking safety clasp to ensure that the watch stays firmly on the wrist even in the most demanding conditions. This is extremely important when located in deep water because if your watch fails, you will never see it again.
The new Rolex ExplOrer 40 Ref. 224270, advantages?
Rolex has just announced another reference in its Explorer collection of watches. The new Rolex Explorer Ref. 224270 is now available in a 40mm size. After introducing and discontinuing the 39mm Explorer, Rolex decided it was time to cater to those who couldn’t or didn’t want to wear the Explorer 36.
The Rolex Explorer needs no introduction, so I won’t bother you with it. The Explorer is (maybe) my absolute favorite sporty watch. It is a clean-looking watch with an obvious dial, no date, and no nonsense. The problem for me, however, is the 36mm size. I’ve tried it numerous times – my wife has an Explorer, as do some of my colleagues – and it never feels right to me. Oddly enough, my Day-Date is also 36mm, but somehow it works better for me. Maybe it’s the presence of the President strap that makes it look bigger on my wrist.
The Explorer is only available with a black lacquered dial (some predicted a white dial for the Explorer) and the numbers at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock are 18k white gold. The hands are also white gold, and both the hands and dial have Chromalight, Rolex’s blue lume.
Anyway, you can imagine how happy I am that Rolex offers a 40mm version of the Explorer. The good news is that in terms of other specifications, it’s basically not too different from the Explorer 36. The Rolex Explorer 224270 is powered by the caliber 3230, which is guaranteed to perform at ±2 seconds per day. Rolex ensures that the imitation watch has this precision once the movement is cased .
The case and bracelet are made of Oyster steel (904L). Their surfaces are mainly brushed, except for the bezel and strap, which have a highly polished finish. The Rolex Twinlock crown and screw-down caseback ensure a water-resistance rating of 100 meters (10 ATM). On this model, you will also find the Oyster locking clasp on the bracelet and an Easylink extension that allows you to resize it by a further 5 mm without using tools.
The Hottest Tudor Pelagos of 2023
You know I love the Sea-Dweller ref. This is one of those watches that made me say, “If I buy this, I’m probably screwed.” And I meant it at the time. Wearing the Sea-Dweller was an impressive experience and never lost its impact. But as time went on, I wondered if I romanticized the impact of the watch and the experience of wearing it. After all, that was twenty years ago. And in those twenty years, we’ve all seen a lot of changes in the world of watches. While I haven’t lost sight of the Sea-Dweller ref. 16600, its context has changed.
Essentially, I have been able to check out many incredible new watches and my frame of reference has changed. On top of that, many different timepieces have impressed in terms of materials, build quality and overall performance.
The typical Tudor dial design with oversized square and rectangular markers combined with snowflake hands makes for one of the most striking looks in the copy watch industry. It wasn’t necessarily love at first sight for me. But when you read the story of how it came to be, it’s easy to recognize how TUDOR solved a functional problem with an effective and great design. That’s when I realized that Tudor’s appeal goes far beyond its reputation as a budget Rolex cottage.
The Pelagos is a natural progression of the TUDOR brand. It is a modern diver with recognizable dial and hand features and modern execution. This is the type of evolution we often praise in Rolex. And that makes the Pelagos completely different from Tudor’s Black Bay collection.
It starts with the 42mm titanium case, which is 14.3mm thick. While this is quite substantial and too thick for some, that thickness serves a purpose thanks to the 500-meter water resistance rating and the helium venting valve on the left side of the case. On top of that, for me, the Pelagos don’t necessarily wear a heavy watch.
This is also thanks to the sturdy brushed titanium strap and the excellent spring-loaded TUDOR strap stretching system. This is yet another element that shows that TUDOR is here to create the modern diver and nothing more.
And while we’re on the subject, the Sea-Dweller ref. 16600’s Achilles heel is its fragile clasp. While I love the crunching sound of vintage Rolex straps, the Sea-Dweller 16660 is a bit too modern. Other than that, Tudor’s modern titanium bracelet is a step up in time from the Sea-Dweller’s hollow bracelet.
Traditional Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner
The Submariner collection comes from a time when replica 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 Rolex Chromalight luminous material, which glows bright blue in the dark. The eye-catching dot at the end of the seconds hand serves as a function check and is also luminous. In addition, the zero markers on the diving bezel are filled with the same luminescent material to provide better positioning when setting the dive time.
The bezel rotates perfectly counterclockwise and in clear half-minute increments. Deep knurled grooves on the edges provide a secure grip for wet hands or diving gloves. The rotating ring has a digital Cerachrom insert made of special black ceramic. the recessed numerals and markers on the 60-minute track are coated with a thin layer of platinum using a PVD process. Rolex has developed expertise and innovative manufacturing processes to create a strong, color-saturated, extremely scratch-resistant special ceramic for the production of monobloc bezels and tracks, and now has its own completely independent production of ceramic components.
The bezel with ceramic insert is part of the fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual case, which Rolex guarantees to be resistant to 30 bar, equivalent to a water depth of 300 meters. It is the epitome of durability and reliability. Its case frame is made of a single block of stainless steel for exceptional resistance to corrosion, which Rolex calls “Oyster steel”. In addition to the sealed caseback, the Triplock winding crown ensures the prescribed water resistance with its triple-sealed, screw-down design and protective crown guard. The top crystal is made of scratch-resistant sapphire. The Submariner Date adds a one-eye magnifying glass at 3 o’clock to improve the readability of the date.
The new Submariner is equipped with an Oyster bracelet, including its patented Oyster folding safety clasp and the Glidelock extension system, which simply extends the bracelet up to 20 mm with a 10-step sliding element. Such a perfect design does not need a revolution to maintain the undisputed standard among dive watches.
Testing the Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot’s Travel Time
The Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot’s Travel Time was designed to be the ideal companion for travelers. Will this new watch – inspired by the lesser-known Patek Philippe Pilot’s replica Watches – meet that requirement? We explore the watch in this in-depth test from the WatchTime archives. Original photo by Patrick Mokesch.
Patek Philippe has reinvented an aspect of itself with the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time. When the Geneva-based company launched its first white gold watch in 2015, it received great attention. A unique specimen, unlike the much-loved sporty models in its Nautilus and Aquanaut collections, Patek Philippe is primarily known for its classic designs.
Unlike the white gold version with its matte blue dial and light-colored case, 2018 rose gold model emphasizes elegance – supported by the warm tones of the case, the sunburst motif on the dial and the gradient of color tones from brown to black, as well as other details such as the rose gold numerals with luminescent coating and the rose gold pronged clasp. These features combine to present a unique and elegant pilot’s copy watch.
This so-called “GMT” function, which is very common in watches, usually has a dedicated 24-hour hand that is adjusted in hourly steps via the crown. If you can adjust the 12-hour hand independently, it proves to be more practical for travel.
Patek Philippe has found a solution to these problems. Essentially, this involves two pushers for travel time, which adjust the local time in both directions, as well as two day/night indicators on the dial, allowing both times to be read visually in 12-hour format. In addition, the date also advances in both directions when setting the local time, so no correction is needed here either.
This is not the first time this movement has been used for such a function – it has powered the classic Calatrava model and was used in the Aquanaut and Nautilus in combination with a chronograph. Now, for the first time, Patek Philippe has equipped the Calatrava Pilot with a system designed to prevent accidental adjustment of the time zone. The correction button can be locked in position by turning it a quarter of a turn clockwise. If turning a quarter turn is too complicated, it is also perfectly possible to leave the pushers in an unlocked position.
Outstanding audacity the Ladies’ Guild
From the very beginning, Rolex has recognized that women need not only sophisticated watches but also durable and precise watches. Inspiring women have always been an important part of the Rolex story. In 1927, British swimmer Mercedes Gleitze became Rolex’s first ambassador, swimming across the English Channel with an Oyster watch around her neck.
Since the very beginning of the brand, they have inspired Rolex to create and develop exceptional timepieces to support their quest for power. The Lady-Datejust is a tribute to those who have dared to be first. It embodies precision while combining classic elegance with technical performance.
Launched in 1957, the Lady-Datejust concentrates all the characteristics of the Datejust, the Rolex symbol synonymous with style and technical performance since its introduction in 1945. the Lady-Datejust is a feminine version of this calendar chronometer that carries on the elegance of the fake Rolex Datejust in a smaller size that is Perfect for slender wrists.
With a sunray-finished dial, paved with diamonds or made of mother-of-pearl – the Lady-Datejust offers many options, and wearers can easily find a version that reflects their personality. Depending on the version, the Lady-Datejust is available with a domed, fluted, or diamond-set bezel.
Depending on the version, the Lady-Datejust is available with a three-piece link Oyster bracelet with a folding Oyster clasp; a five-piece link Jubilee bracelet, specially designed for the Datejust in 1945, and a three-piece link President bracelet with a crown clasp. A concealed linking system ensures a seamless visual articulation between the bracelet and the case.
The Lady-Datejust is equipped with the caliber 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement developed and manufactured by Rolex. Its construction makes it exceptionally precise and reliable. 2236 is equipped with a silicon Syloxi hairspring produced under Rolex’s patent. Resistant to magnetic fields, the Syloxi hairspring offers great stability in the face of temperature variations and remains 10 times more accurate than a conventional hairspring in the face of shocks. Its patented geometry ensures its regularity in any position.
Like all Rolex replica watches, the Rolex Datejust has been awarded the Super Chronometer certification. This designation attests to the fact that every watch that leaves the brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests by Rolex in its laboratories to its standards. The green seal symbolizes the status of the Super Chronometer on each Rolex watch, which comes with a five-year international guarantee.

Coming Discontinued Rolex watches
Although it gives us a new reference number, the Air-King Ref. 116900 is not so much retired as replaced, with the latest Ref. 126900 taking over. The outgoing watch has been around since 2016, a comeback after a brief complete hiatus in 2014, and its run dates back to the middle of the Second World War.
But, longest-serving name in the replica Rolex catalog or not, the Air-King has always been a very popular name, gaining far less of a following than the Submariner or the Daytona. In fact, due to its status as the forgotten Rolex, many predicted that the model would be quietly phased out of existence this year. Instead, it was granted an upgrade, with the new reference benefiting from a redesigned case with crown protection, a thinner bezel resulting in a larger dial, and a new generation of Cal. 3230.
The original Yachtmaster collection has received much attention lately; this year is no exception. It is available in two sizes, in a range of metals and bracelets, including Rolex’s first attempt at a rubber strap, the Oysterflex.
Interestingly, the most understated variant, the Ref. 116689 in white gold with platinum bezel, is the one that was eliminated this year. Why fake Rolex decided to retire the most versatile piece in the collection is another mystery. Still, its materials do make it the most expensive option in a collection that was never very popular in the first place.
However, these watches are available on the used market for around, if not below, the official retail price – not something you can say about every Rolex Sports model. Now, whether that will change, we don’t know, but educated guesses suggest that it is quite possible.
Finally, Rolex seems to have acknowledged the failure of the Cellini line, which is their line of pure dress watches.
It’s been a long time coming. As beautiful as these pieces are, they stick out a bit, retaining a few of Rolex’s most important design principles, and don’t even qualify for an Oyster case.
The 2022 bids farewell to the two pure time models and the two time-date models, leaving only the wonderful Ref. 50535 Moonphase. With its 39 mm stellar case and white lacquered dial, this is the last Cellini watch and a stunning piece in its own right.
We’re obsessed with the watches in Bob’s Vault
What else is unique about Rolex watches? Well, the Rolex “Kermit” Submariner ref. 16610LV is the first time any color other than black has appeared in a stainless steel Submariner. It is also the first time the company’s signature green color has appeared in the collection. Please note: this bezel is made of aluminum, known to fade. However, this does not seem to have stopped collectors from taking an interest in this unique piece of replica Rolex history.
Isn’t she beautiful? Featuring an exceptionally robust 904L stainless steel case and bracelet with a luxurious platinum dial and bezel, this Yachtmaster is a top example of Rolex’s ability to combine form and function. Originally designed as a luxury watch for sailors, this 40mm watch has a rotating sandblasted platinum bezel that times regattas and can withstand 100 meters of water resistance. You may wonder what the difference between this watch and the Submariner is, other than water resistance. The Yacht Prestige has a bi-directional chronograph bezel and can rotate in both directions.
In addition, it will look great on your wrist on any occasion. Significantly more stately and dignified, the Yacht Prestige offers its own sporty and luxurious appeal that you will never want to take off. With its unique sandblasted textured platinum dial, this model is no longer in production, so the only way to get it is through the secondary market.
When fake Rolex decided to update the GMT-Master in the mid-2000s, their new models, like this Rolesor (two-tone) Ref. 116713, became instant classics. It is one of the most sought-after modern second-hand watches today, and since Baselworld 2019, Rolex is only making the two-tone GMT-Master II watch in Everose pink gold (no yellow gold option). So don’t let this one go unnoticed!
Also, this one is a collector’s favorite when it comes to pre-owned GMT-Master II watches. First of all, collectors love the more extensive “Super Case” and “Super Dial” because it has wider lugs, and the dial has more significant luminous hour markers and more comprehensive hands on top. Please note: the case itself is still 40mm.
However, its size and temperament set this watch apart. The Datejust II is loathed and loved, with a noticeably larger case and rounder than the typical Datejust. Because of this, it is an excellent choice for those looking for something a little more distinctive on their wrist. In addition, since it’s no longer in production, it’s an excellent collector’s item that’s part of Rolex’s history and can be kept in your watch box.
New Rolex Daytona White Ceramic Watch with 4130 Movement
Today, the watch I am going to review is a new model that has just been released in our market and it is also the first replica Rolex Daytona watch I have ever seen that is made entirely of ceramic. Before I go into detail about this watch, I want to explain two things.
Yes, it is a Noob factory, but the replica watch is not made by the Noob factory. The replica watch only uses the Super Clone 4130 movement, a movement that has been used by Noob Daytona before. I don’t know which factory made this blue and white ceramic Daytona, but this movement is definitely the best Super Clone 4130. the second thing I want to explain here is about Noob. This factory no longer exists, they don’t offer watches now, by the way, the Super Clone 4130 under Noob’s name was made by a movement factory, not by Noob, Noob didn’t make any watch parts, they ordered it from a watch parts factory, did a quality check, and then assembled it.
Now it’s time to introduce this Rolex Daytona ceramic watch, there are two major advantages, the first is the ceramic material and the second is the best Super Clone 4130 movement it uses. This watch looks beautiful and is a great watch for women, the tiffany blue dial with white ceramic is a perfect match and the Daytona meets the demand for a larger watch, so I think many ladies will consider this watch. On its tiffany blue dial, I saw a new name “AET REMOULD” which is a watch brand from Germany, they mainly customize watches and this Rolex Daytona is from them.
The case, bezel, and strap are made of white ceramic, the white bezel has a light blue tachymeter scale, the crown is screwed down and the stainless steel chronograph pushers are screwed down. On the Tiffany blue dial of this replica watch, there are three silvered subdials. the subdial at 6 o’clock is for the small seconds, the 30-minute chronograph counter is at 3 o’clock, and the 12-hour chronograph counter is at 9 o’clock. The three subdials work in the same way as the real Daytona, which means that the replica has a fully working chronograph function. The case back is also made of ceramic and it is secured with four stainless steel screws.
Thanks to its high-end ceramic material and its super clone movement, this replica watch is priced very high but the quality is perfect. This super clone 4130 movements has proven to be the best and most accurate chronograph movement from Daytona.
Top Quality Rolex Daytona Stainless Steel Watch
Rolex Daytona Stainless Steel Watches are the most popular items for collectors, why? The reason is rich, people like its appearance and functions, it is a symbol of social position. The Rolex Daytona stainless steel automatic replica watches have a 40mm stainless steel case with a choice of black or white dials protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystals. They have a tachymeter scale on the bezel and the watches are paired with a three-link Oyster bracelet. 40mm stainless steel Daytona watches feature an automatic movement and are chronometer-certified chronographs that keep near-perfect time. These Rolex Daytona stainless steel watches also characterize a screw-down crown and chronograph pushers to ensure that the case is water-resistant. There are a few types that are very popular.
The Rolex Daytona 16520 stainless steel model is a member of the second series of Daytona watches introduced in 1988. Although Rolex used the famous Zenith El-Primero self-winding chronograph movement as its base, the company significantly modified the movement and renamed it the 4030 movements. Thanks to its modern appearance, larger size, and self-winding movement, the Daytona 16520 “Zenith” quickly became the must-have replica Rolex watch of its era.
The Rolex Daytona ref. 116520 is a member of the third series of Daytona watches (and successor to the 16520) released in 2000. It has many of the same features as the 16520, with one important exception. In the third Daytona series, Rolex equipped the Daytona 116520 with its own 4130 movements. Like its predecessor, the Daytona 116520 was a huge success and quickly became one of Rolex’s top models.
A decade ago, fake Rolex released the latest iteration of the stainless steel Daytona in the form of the 116500LN. the Daytona 116500LN has the same 40mm case and screw-down pushers as the previous automatic model, however, it comes with a new black Cerachrom ceramic bezel. As is customary, the steel Daytona 116500LN is available with either a black or white dial, and the white “Panda” dial with black subdials is particularly sought-after. Regardless of dial color, the Daytona 116500LN is one of the most valuable modern luxuries replica watches on the pre-owned market today, and one of Rolex’s best-selling models.
