5 Top UK Super Clone Watches We Could See From Rolex In 2023

It’s that time of year again. Watches & Wonders Geneva 2023 kicks off on Monday, March 27th, and that means new best Rolex super clone watches are coming. And this year is a big one. Why? Because it ends in a three.

In 1953, Rolex dropped two of its most famed models, the high quality replica Rolex Submariner dive watches and the Explorer field watch. Exactly 10 years later, it debuted the Daytona — originally the “Le Mans” — which means that this year sees multiple birthdays, and these are big deals in the watch world. 2023 marks the 70th anniversary of the Sub, the 70th anniversary of the Explorer and the 60th anniversary of the Daytona.

Of course, no one — not even many who work for Rolex — know what the Crown has up its royal sleeve until, well, the UK cheap super clone Rolex watches come out, and that’s expected to happen next week. But years like this are presumably easier to predict; Rolex doesn’t ignore its own anniversaries.

So without further ado, here are some of our Rolex-centric predictions for 2023. They may not all materialize, but just try to come up with better guesses.

70th-Anniversary Submariner

We know, we know: Duh. But ironing out the details of what that would look like is the tough part: Rolex last updated the Sub in the fall of 2020 — which ain’t exactly a long time ago — so we can’t very well expect a full refresh here. And cool as the titanium Deepsea Challenge is, we’re not exactly expecting a titanium Submariner just yet. While the Crown is perfectly capable of making a jillion titanium Subs if it so wishes, that would be a positively huge shakeup for a company that’s notorious for taking its time in rolling out new materials and new models,

So what could we see in new Swiss made fake Rolex Submariner watches? One thing Rolex has been willing to do — subtle as it is — is reference vintage models such as the “Double Red” Sea-Dweller with a line of red text on the dial like it did with the aforementioned Deep Sea Challenge and 43mm Sea-Dweller. What about a current-spec, 41mm Sub with red dial text — and that’s it! It would be the dial equivalent of the green-bezeled “Kermit” from 2003.

Of course, Rolex could just as well go ham: YELLOW GOLD, GREEN DIAL, GREEN BEZEL, BOO YAH! And honestly, for a 70th-anniversary model, who would blame them? At this juncture, all we’re reasonably sure of is that there will be a new, special Sub — but what that will look like will be anyone’s guess. Good luck buying one at retail, at least for a few years.

70th-Anniversary Explorer

Back in 2021, Rolex brought joy to the horologically faithful by reducing the Explorer (I) back down to its original 36mm sweet spot from the 39mm size it had grown to. Currently available in Oystersteel or Rolesor (two-tone), there are two logical places that the Explorer could go for its big birthday: full gold, or totally not full gold — i.e., anyone’s guess. This Swiss movements Rolex super clone watches is either gonna show up in shameless, 18K livery and cost $15,000+ — or the new one is gonna look just like the 36mm steel model, but have, like, a white dial. Or a line of red on the text. Or something like that.

There’s not much luxury Rolex replica watches can do, here: They can’t change the bezel color, because there’s no bezel. They can’t change the bracelet, because, well, what are the options — a Jubilee? They’re not gonna put a Jubilee on an Explorer I. (Watch them do it, and then I have to eat my words.)

But a white dial — especially given a white-dial reference 6610 did, evidently, exist as a factory-spec watch — would be a welcome addition to the lineup. And given the Explorer’s inspirations in Hilary and Norgay’s summit of Everest in 1953, the white colorway would be fitting.

Some Daytona Action

The last time this most famous of chronographs had a big birthday (its 50th in 2013), it received a platinum update with a blue dial and a Cerachrom bezel. What could a 60th-anniversary model look like? The more compelling question is whether Rolex will update the “standard” catalog model, i.e. the stainless steel perfect super clone Rolex Daytona watches in black or white dial?

The last time the Daytona had a proper update — which, the way Rolex shies away from reinvention, is more like a small tweak — was in 2016, when the 116500LN debuted with black totalizer rings (white dial) and a Cerachrom bezel (both dial colors). Could 2023 be the Year of the New Daytona?

The 2023 Rolex Daytona fake watches has been powered by the Calibre 4130 for a lonngggg time. Could a new movement be in store with an even longer power reserve? Though it’s doubtful Rolex would reintroduce a feature such as the steel bezel, as the company’s modus operandi is to make functional upgrades — hence the move to Cerachrom — we certainly wouldn’t be angry if the Daytona were available with an old-school steel bezel. And what about an Oyster bracelet without polished center links — i.e. a Sub-style, full-brushed bracelet? Or better yet — since we’re dreaming here — a Daytona on a Jubilee bracelet, like back in the days of horological yore?! (We won’t hold our breath.)

But something’s coming.

New Milgauss (You Know — Like the One We Predicted Last Year, But Didn’t Get)

As we said in 2022, “The Milgauss is that kid who keeps getting held back and has now done Senior year of high school five times.” (Equal parts harsh and true.) The 1:1 Rolex super clone watches needs an upgrade — it’s the last still running on the previous-gen 31XX movement, while all its friends are using 32XX-series movements. And while competitors from Omega boast anti-magnetic resistance to 15,000 gauss, the Milgauss is still resistant to just 1,000 gauss (which is in accordance with its name).

We think this is the year that the Crown is gonna rise to the occasion and hit it outta the park with a new Milgauss — if for no other reason than a need to stay current and stick it to Omega (and others). It’ll probably get crown guards like the Air-King did last year, bringing it more in line with contemporary Professional-series watches. Other than that, we don’t exactly see Rolex killing the highly unique aesthetic that makes the AAA wholesale Rolex Milgauss copy watches stand out from the crowd: the lightning bolt seconds hand, the pops of orange, the colored crystal. Unless they plan on “reissuing” the aesthetic of the reference 1019, which would be a treat.

The “Lefty” Green-and-Black GMT-Master II — but “Righty”

This is like turning on a(nother) money-printing press at Rolex HQ. Take the oddball “lefty” Rolex GMT-Master II super clone watches online from 2022, copy the bezel colorway, but put that bezel colorway on the standard “right-hand” model. (Oh, and keep the “lefty” in the catalog, because it’s dope.) You just know there are 10,000 diehard Crown adherents who took one look at the reference 126720VTNR last year and thought, “Love it — give me the standard version, and we’ll talk.”

A Collector’s Guide To Weird And Wonderful Wooden Dials For Perfect Online UK Super Clone Rolex Watches

Wooden dial 1:1 Rolex super clone watches fall into a category I like to call “weird design things that happened during the 1970s.”

I have a tendency to over-romanticize the disco decade, much to my French grandmother’s chagrin. She told me over the phone the other night: “Ugh, mais non Malaika, the ’70s was the worst period in fashion. So synthetic, so tacky. Not chic. Quelle horreur!”

Well, Granny, this time we must agree to disagree. I’m all about stacks of gold jewelry, glittery spandex fabric, clunky platform shoes, and enormous bell bottom pants. And wood, plenty of wood.

Wooden accessories belong to the bohemian side of the ’70s. More Mick Jagger in Performance, swathed in fabric, covered in earthy adornments, laid out on a shaggy rug – and less John Travolta dancing under a disco ball in a white three piece suit in Saturday Night Fever. They were a signature look for the great arbiter of bohemian fashion: Yves Saint Laurent muse LouLou de La Falaise. As far as I’m aware, LouLou didn’t wear wooden UK best Rolex replica watches – but she did wear huge wooden earrings, beads, and bangles layered with semi-precious stones, enamel, and rock crystal pendants. She proved how stylish dead trees can be. And when I think of how to wear wood-dial watches today, she’s the inspiration.

Wooden-dial watches fall somewhere in between earthy and bohemian in matière but bold and sometimes outlandish in shape. And yes, the good ones are all made with real wood.

The best wood-dial cheap super clone Rolex watches from this time period are retro in every sense of the word, but I suppose it would be cheating if I made this all about the 1970s. There were wacky and also elegant wooden dials created in the 1960s, and some pretty fancy wooden dials that continued being made into the 1980s – and more came after that, too, all the way up to the Patek Philippe marquetry dials that started being made in the 2000s.

But the 1970s stick out as the golden age for experimentation in both form and material, from beautiful stone dials and hammered gold bracelets by Audemars Piguet to triangular shaped “Trinidad” cases and biomorphic Grima designs at Omega. An ideal era for the watch world’s Wood Period.

Although these wacky watches originated in a particular time period and are now a symbol of mid-century to late-’70s design, these products weren’t nostalgic when first produced. They were meant to be futuristic in the same way that MB&F and Urwerk are today.

I’ll be the first to admit that wooden dials don’t exude glamor in the same way that tiger’s eye, lapis, or onyx dials do. Maybe that’s why wood never caught on the way stone did. The totally offbeat 20th-century wooden dial Swiss made Rolex fake watches listed below – minus burl wood Day-Dates and Datejusts – also lie in stark contrast to the classicism that many brands yearn to achieve today. Classic design cuts through the timeline and transcends the era in which it was created, and if a product is timeless I suppose the logic is that it will sell for longer. But some of us prefer period-perfect idiosyncrasy.

I’m certain that these wood high quality super clone Rolex watches will forever remain in the niche collector category, but they’re still fun to look at and evocative of a freewheeling time when creativity ruled.

Rolex

The eternally beloved Rolex Day-Date was introduced in 1956 as the brand’s “flagship” model, and it went on to be the foundation for a whole host of (now) extremely covetable dial variations. The early ’70s saw the introduction of high gloss enamel Stella dials, as well as the use of semi-precious hardstone dials such as lapis and onyx. But an even more unusual variant came in wooden form.

The earlier wood dial Day-Dates in the four digit references (180x with plastic plexi crystal) are often referred to as Sequoia wood dials. The grain pattern was straight and the finish was matte with poor text quality. The fourth figure of the reference number identifies the pattern of the bezel: ref. 1802 features the smooth bezel, ref. 1803 fluted and ref. 1807 bark. These top Rolex copy watches were all produced circa 1973 and housed Caliber 1556.

The bark finish on the bezel and bracelet center link of ref.1807 is a type of finishing first used by Rolex in the early 1970s. This decorative finishing, which mimics the bark of a tree but is not actually made of wood, is particularly effective when paired with a wooden dial.

The wooden dials produced later in the ’70s for five serial number Day-Dates (with sapphire crystal) were made using three different types of wood: birchwood, mahogany, and walnut. They had a layer of lacquer applied on them with the print placed on, which in turn made the text significantly more legible. This series housed Caliber 3055 which featured a quickset function.

This generation of wood dial Swiss movements super clone Rolex Day-Date watches is often referred to as burl wood, which is theoretically correct in that burl is a specific grain characteristic that is present on the later generation of wooden dials. But burl is not to be mistaken as a type of tree (like birch or walnut). Burl is actually a growth that forms on the outside of a tree and in turn affects the grain pattern, producing unique knots in the wood.

The more commonly known burl dials most likely replaced the earlier unlacquered sequoia close-grained variants due to burl’s material density and resistance to splitting. I personally find the burly grain more attractive as it looks richer and more unusual. Burl wood furniture was popular in the Art Deco period and had a resurgence in, you guessed it, the 1970s. I fell down a burl-themed Milo Baughman rabbit hole during my research – I’m now in the market for a burl wood credenza. Oops!

Below are some fun variants on the wood dial best quality Rolex Day-Date replica watches. The Oysterquartz ref. 19018 also came in a solid wood dial version as well as a diamond pattern variant referred to as “Wooden Roulette.” and Oysterquartz Day-Date ref.19028 with a “Clous de Paris” / pyramid pattern on the bracelet and bezel.

You can find Datejust models produced with wooden dials, too, including refs. 16018 and 16019 first produced circa 1979. And Lady Datejust models 6917 and 69278 were also around starting in the late ’70s.

Rolex Cellinis

Rolex also made a fair amount of wood dials for its China super clone Rolex Cellini line watches. The hexagonal tonneau-shaped ref. 4122 with mahogany dial measures around 28mm x 30 to 35mm, depending on the model, and looks like something a cigar-smoking, backgammon-playing aristocrat would wear to the Groucho Club in London.

The AAA fake Rolex Midas Cellini watches, which seems to be having a bit of a comeback these days, was also produced with a wooden dial variant. Ref. 4126 (pictured below) features a burled walnut dial inside an 18k yellow gold case with hobnail-textured finishing in the bezel.

There’s also the ref. 4127 with a mahogany burl dial and pyramid motif bezel. This rectangular-shaped case Cellinii measures 33 x 24 mm and was produced circa 1976.

The Genta designed octagonal wholesale super clone Rolex Cellini ref. 4350 watches with mahogany dial is a sleeper hit as well as the diamond-set ref. 4651. Both of these variants are lust-worthy for their deliciously chunky yellow gold case and bracelet. These are just about as ’70s as it gets for uniquely shaped dress watches.
