Online Watch Review

Hi everyone !

Someobject funny happened the further day, funny-yes, surprising-not !

I got an email from a customer that honest bought a Replica Rolex from us as a gift for his girlfriend, anyway, he took it to a watchmaker to occupy some links removed from the strap.

The watchmaker, private on one´s own al a shop in downtown Chicago, told our customer - “What a great looking watch, on the other hand dont you think its a bit to much expensive as a gift? I median it essential cost at careen $10,000 !! ”

Our Rolex Replica Watch, a women Rolex Date Just, fooled a professional watchmaker from downtown Chicago !!

Now, dig i said in the beginning, its a funny version, but not surprising, after all, the watches are made to look and feel JUST like the ORIGINAL!!

I think if that watchmaker was to open it, he would have known its a Replica Watch, but that part is not important, since humanity we contact on dates, meetings etc, wont open our watch, they will assume, just like that watchmaker, that its an ORIGINAL Rolex Watch!!

Im sure the same thing happened to many other of our customers, and im sure 90% of them are getting daily good wishes on their nice looking watch, no one yet suspect it is a Replica Watch that cost $199…

If you also have a story like this, please send it to us !!

Till later time…

The 2008 Bin the way thatel show is lovingly ceveryed “this time of year” around the Rolex boards. The rules of the courageous are that Rolex S.A. does it’s best to guard their news untill the open of the show, and the rest of the sphere seems to be hunting down every particle of information available. It starts in January with a wide variaty of wild rumours, and it always narrows down in March to some brew of truth and nonsense. This years truths were a new and bigger Sea-Dweller and a red make forld Daytona, secrets not absolutely well kept. The nonsense turned out to be a Daytona with a date window and the rumours about anything on a rubber bracelet.

So, what does the horological land scape look like after Basel? For the broad trends in the whole industry I’m not informed well enough yet, but for the Rolex brand some initial conclusions can be drawn. The ruling earliest and most significant one is that Rolex follows the big watch trend after all with a bonanza of 40 and 41 mm dress watches and a Sea-Dweller of 43 mm. An interpretation of this fact could be that their attempts to revive the 36 mm size for men were to no avail: the Turn-O-Graph, the new Datejusts and Day Dates just don’t job for todays men anymore in terms of sales. 40 mm is the new standard and even the stable and cautious design school of Rolex has to follow the market.

My second observation is that the design enterprise of filling this bigger dials in some way seems to puzzle the Rolex company. A area of solutions has been chosen, from a wild carnival of tints for markers, hands and glass on last years Milgauss, to dials with more and more expressive writings and numerals even on this years new 36 mm watches. The new Day Dates got a more busy dial and the bigger Sea-Dweller Deep Sea gained an extra Power Ring under the glass and a lot more writing as well. Not to start again about last years new Yacht Master II that is filled with funny primary colors and complications. Somehow the designers seem to be afraid of simplicity or empty spaces. Although the new Day Date is a wonderfull new piece, in all the new dial layouts are far from absolute in my opinion.

Thirdly it is noticable that with the introduction of the DeepSea, Rolex continues their beautiful high end tool watch tradition. The fears of every model being turned into a polished dress watch did not become reality after all. But as pointed out in the text of their own press kitt: The deep seas are part of peoples dreams. And the extent rating of 3900 meters it will also stay there and will not come to activity: there is not much use even for sundry to have a watch with this qualities. Does that create this a silly invention? Bottom line: Yes. Does that make it a silly watch? No, not at all. The DeepSea is an impressive piece of innovation and an absolutely gorgeous tool watch I’d love to own. It is Non added Ultra, nothing superior seems to exist. That is what we all want and why we spend ridiculous amounts on luxury watches, right? On the other hand, in moving in this direction Rolex accepts that their wrist watches have nothing extra to add to modern day life anymore. Back in the ’50’s they did add usefull functionalities to watches when they invented Submariners for real divers and GMT Masters for real pilots. Without going into any suggestions for other concepts, this does feel like a missed opportunity to me.

In all the commotion of the new innovations one should not forget to mention the gradual and flawless update of the Submariner. It moved in the same direction as the lovely new GMT II: maxi case, maxi hands and a new bezel. Although the color of blue of this first white gold model has been a turn off for many and the watch has been renamed The Smurf already, color is a matter of taste and the new Sub is a thing of beauty in the best Rolex tradition.

So, where does this leave the Rolex line up right now? With the new Day Dates and Datejusts Rolex covers the dress and jewelry watches segment just perfectly, both for women as well as for men again, there is space for innovations that go extreme and beyond with the DeepSea, and the main lines of Submariner and GMT II had their subtle but very strong updates. It is a job well done and worthy of the companies legendary name. Actually… I’m looking forward to Basel 2009 rumours already. - Evert ‘08
