Regarded as one of the most sought-after watches in the whole of, well, cheap super clone watches, the luxury fake Rolex Daytona CA has been back in the news recently after the crown announced it is discontinuing a fan-favourite model while simultaneously dropping some hot new versions.
It all went down at this month’s Watches and Wonders, where one of the big talking points was 1:1 replica Rolex quietly retiring the ‘Le Mans’ Daytona. A commemorative edition of its iconic line that was released to coincide with the motor event’s 100th anniversary, it has a white gold case and a special ‘reverse’ panda dial in black ceramic that features the “100” indication in red, along with a movement specifically designed for the race’s 24-hour duration. A throwback to the brand’s much-loved exotic dials and Paul Newman dials, it was given a short run in June 2023, which now looks to have been the whole point.
“It’s very surprising,” says Spencer Dryer, MD of London’s BQ Watches, “but it makes sense for cheap super clone Rolex CA. Any discontinued model increases in value and notoriety, so making the white gold version such a limited run will only boost its desirability and ensure its place in the history of luxury watches.”
While you might have to give up a kidney/your first born/your dignity to acquire one, AAA quality replica Rolex responded to the disappointment with a slew of eye-catching new Daytonas, the pick being two new precious stone dial editions, employing contrasting black and white mother-of-pearl to emulate the ‘Panda’ and ‘Reverse Panda’ dials, featuring bezels set with 36 diamonds for good measure. While not quite the wild Swiss movement copy Rolex Daytona ‘Rainbow’ of a few years ago, they’re set to be hot commodities for Rolex this year.
“The other factor”, says Dryer, “is that it introduces a fear that the next model will also have a similarly limited availability, meaning people will be even more keen to get their hands on it just in case; it’s like the ‘Sprite’ GMT-Master II, nobody really knows except high quality replica Rolex, but the whole ‘what if it goes’ plays a big factor on the market prices.”
A jewel in the Rolex crown, the hype around the Daytona has been on a steady uptick for years with waiting lists to match. Injuries-permitting, top quality fake Rolex will be hedging its bets that Carlos Alcaraz – who was spotted in Barcelona last week wearing a gold and ceramic Rolex Daytona replica for sale CA with a meteorite dial on a rubber oysterflex strap – will be sliding his onto his wrist after pummelling some poor opponent during the start of tennis’ clay and grass swing.
The 20-year-old champ memorably lifted the Wimbledon trophy in a since-discontinued (noticing a trend?) 116518LN-0076 in yellow gold with a meteorite dial, while his 2022 US Open victory featured a more understated 116500LN in sturdy steel.
“I have been buying, selling and collecting Rolex fake watches online CA for over 35 years,” says Scott D. Kaplan owner of H.Q. Milton Timepieces, a big-time Rolex dealer based in San Francisco. “The Rolex Daytona has, for as long as can remember, been the Holy Grail for most Rolex collectors and watch lovers. They have always been difficult to obtain.”
It was Paul Newman’s appreciation for the Daytona and its sporty, utilitarian design that really propelled the model into ‘grail’ status, especially if there’s a little bit of ‘tropical’ wear and tear on the dial. But it took a few years for top quality replica Rolex to refine the model into what we lust over today.
“At one point it wasn’t waterproof, it didn’t have a perpetual (automatic) movement and it didn’t have an oyster case,” adds Dryer. “It was basically the odd one out! It was the collectors market (with a little help from Paul Newman) that essentially gave it a second life and brought it into the mainstream…and like any top quality fake Rolex, the rarer it is, the more you have to part with to get one.
“Once the cat is out of the bag when it comes to desirability, these pieces skyrocket,” he adds. “The modern best quality replica Rolex Daytona is beautifully designed, and because of the case size, can be worn by men and women. It’s undeniably a status symbol, simply because they are so hard to get hold of from the Authorised Dealers. To wear a Rolex Daytona copy online CA is a social symbol of importance… and it doesn’t hurt that the contrasting sub-dial design is one of the most iconic in the luxury watch world.”
