US AAA Quality Fake Rolex Explorer II ref. 16550 “Cream Dial”

We’ll stay with the cream dials for a bit with our next pick. It’s an obvious choice, but that doesn’t mean we love this watch any less. The watch in question is the perfect replica Rolex Explorer II ref. 16550 “Cream Dial” that was produced from 1985 until 1987. This short-lived reference is a transitional model that preceded the famous 1:1 fake Rolex Explorer II ref. 16570 (some early examples of which also have discolored dials). The ref. 16550 was the follow-up to the legendary first-generation Explorer II ref. 1655. The watch was introduced with a bigger 40mm stainless steel case and a new overall aesthetic. It’s the same general design that luxury replica Rolex US still uses for its current Explorer II ref. 226570, though that looks even more modern.

Inside the case, Swiss made replica Rolex powered the watch with its in-house caliber 3085. This automatic movement debuted in 1983 for the first GMT-Master II, also known as “The Fat Lady.” It was the first Rolex GMT caliber with an independently adjustable 12-hour hand. But the story of this ref. 16550 is all about the dial. As most of you know, high quality fake Rolex used white paint for these dials, which slowly changed color over time. Along with that, the tritium lume also changed color over time. In the best cases, the colors match and create a wonderful cream-colored visage.

The magic of a “Rail Dial”
But even the models with different dial and lume colors make for really nice timepieces. Once again, there is a certain charm that adds to the overall appeal of this specific Rolex Explorer II replica for sale.

Swiss movement replica Rolex quickly corrected the mistake after noticing it, making the pieces fairly rare. I say “fairly” as there are plenty available for sale. However, as they are very desirable for collectors, prices for these high end copy watches are steep. Expect them to start at roughly €20K and move up to around €45K for the rare versions with a “Rail Dial.”

The “Rail Dial” versions are my absolute favorites. What does this nickname mean? Well, for a small portion of the cream-dial ref. 16550s, the best quality copy Rolex designers aligned the “C” in “Chronometer” in the first line with the “C” in “Certified” in the second line of text on the lower part of the dial. As someone who worked in graphic design, I strongly prefer symmetry and logic regarding font types and text placement, so that’s why I love these dials so much. Only a few cheap fake Rolex Explorer II dials (such as this one) provide this visual bliss, making them the most expensive of the brilliant cream-dial Explorer II ref. 16550 models.

AAA Quality Fake Rolex Explorer “Space-Dweller” ref. 1016

Our next pick on this list of oddball Rolex replica watches online is the Explorer ref. 1016 “Space-Dweller.” But the Space-Dweller is a curious case. Was it a small batch of Explorer ref. 1016 models that perfect fake Rolex actually produced, or is it merely a story of a small series of Space-Dweller dials that were never actually used and fitted to several 1016s decades later? It’s an intriguing story, and it reads like a novel that still needs the final plot twist. The last interesting article we have seen on the handful of cheap replica Rolex Space-Dwellers that have surfaced comes courtesy of Perezcope. He did some amazing in-depth research that I highly suggest you read to get the full story and make up your mind about the Space-Dweller’s true origins.、

The story that has surrounded the Space-Dweller for years is that luxury replica Rolex created the watches specifically for the Japanese market. The NASA Project Mercury team, including John H. Glenn and Alan Shepard, visited Japan in 1963 and were welcomed like true stars. As the story goes, Rolex seized the opportunity to create a limited run of aaa quality fake Rolex Explorer 1016s with “Space-Dweller” on the dial rather than the usual “Explorer.”

Consequently, the handful of Space-Dwellers are all regular 36mm Swiss movement copy Rolex Explorer 1016 models powered by caliber 1560/1570. But were they actually from a small batch of special Explorers, or were these dials never really used for these watches in the 1960s? There is more to this tale than I can fit in this article, but do read Perezcope’s story. Whatever the plot twist, these high quality fake watches are rare and go for incredible prices whenever they show up for auction.

Two High Quality Rolex Replica Watches For Sale

Fake Rolex Daytona

The perfect replica Rolex Daytona, a watch that’s synonymous with motor racing, has been the top choice among traders for a decade, thanks in part to the surge in popularity it enjoyed after Paul Newman’s 1:1 fake Rolex Daytona sold for a world record price of $17.8 Million in 2017.

No model saw its price rise furthest or fall fastest either side of a peak in the second quarter of 2022, but it still trades at a 40.8% premium over retail in today’s market.

Replica Rolex Datejust

Swiss movement replica Rolex’s sportier watches have been in the crosshairs for investors in recent years, but the classic luxury fake Rolex Datejust in all its iterations, remains a workhorse for The Crown and a solid bet for collectors who just want their watches to hold their value.

AAA quality fake Rolex Datejusts do better than just hold their value, according to Morgan Stanley, they are still trading at a 15.4% premium over retail prices across 45 references in the study.

Best Quality Fake Rolex Day-Date 128238 Watches US

Besides more polished surfaces, the modern 36mm 1:1 fake Rolex Day-Date variation has a heavier bracelet (with solid center links) and a modern Rolex 3255 movement with a 70-hour power reserve and stricter accuracy standards. The modern one weighs approximately 35 grams more than my neo-vintage Day-Date, but the weight of the gold 18238 is still significant. In the end, aesthetically, I prefer the five-digit perfect replica Rolex Day-Date watches over the modern ones. I happen to like the brushed finish on top of the lugs better than the all-polished lugs of the modern reference.

Prices for the current and neo-vintage counterparts
Today’s equivalent of the Day-Date 18238 is the aaa quality replica Rolex Day-Date 128238, which has a retail price of €36,500 / US$35,000. A Day-Date 18238 in good condition, however, can be yours for around €17,000 / US$18,500 or perhaps a little bit more for one with a box and papers. You might find them cheaper, but just make sure that there isn’t too much stretch in the bracelet. This can be repaired, but I believe it is easier just to go for one in good condition.

In today’s world, the Swiss movement replica Rolex Day-Date 18238 still holds up pretty well. The movement is perhaps a bit outdated and outperformed by its successor (caliber 3255), but the quality of the case and bracelet is still incredibly impressive. For a long time, the depreciation on a gold Rolex Rolex Day-Date fake for sale was quite hefty compared to the price development on the steel sports models. Today, it’s still a little bit behind, but it did catch up in recent years. It’s quite stable at the moment, perhaps even a little bit down in this soft market, so now might be the best time to safeguard a neo-vintage Rolex Rolex Day-Date super clone online.

Final thoughts
I love the cheap replica Rolex Rolex Day-Date US. It is a classic, and in the end, it doesn’t even matter which reference you’re after. My wrist size easily allows the Day-Date 40mm to be comfortable as well, and some of my friends have one. However, just like the Explorer models, I think the 36mm version has the best proportions. I find myself wearing my Swiss copy Rolex Day-Date regularly, and this, of course, results in scratches on the bracelet and case that look worse in photos than in real life. The good thing about gold replica watches Paypal is that this is easy to fix if you want to. I like it when a watch shows it is being worn and loved, though.
