A Quick Hands-On With The (Almost) Completely New Cheap Super Clone Rolex Perpetual 1908 Watches UK

At least for me, the new perfect super clone Rolex Perpetual 1908 watches was one of the biggest surprises at Watches and Wonders this year. Everybody knew that the Cellini line wasn’t the blockbuster hit it was supposed to be from the very beginning. But I don’t think many people suspected Rolex to completely discontinue the collection. As usual, people were more focused on predicting the next stainless steel sports watch that people would get waitlisted for. And yes, there were some “new” sports watches this year, but the one release that really captivated me was the Rolex Perpetual 1908.

Not many people expected Rolex to launch a watch like this. If I had to guess, I’d say probably just as few people actually bought a watch from that discontinued Cellini collection. Have you ever seen one of those high quality Rolex replica watches in the wild? Well, I haven’t. I’m not saying that if I don’t see them, they’re not out there, but there are probably not that many of them. So there you probably have the reason why Rolex wanted to pump new life into this dressier part of its portfolio. Let’s go over what the brand has done here and see what the result looks like in person.

A slimmed-down Cellini Time

To be honest, I wasn’t all that familiar with the Cellini collection when it still existed, so when I saw the 1908 for the first time, I thought it was a completely new watch. But although many parts of it have been developed from the ground up, the 39mm case of the 1908 strongly resembles the one Rolex used for the Cellini Time, Date, and Dual Time. Look, for example, at the domed and fluted bezel that was already there on the Cellini models. Other than that, though, the rest of the Swiss made Rolex super clone watches is indeed new, and, most importantly, it also feels very different and fresh.

That feeling is also due to the fact that the case has been slimmed down a fair bit. The Cellini Time used to measure 11.1mm thick, but the new 1908 measures only 9.5mm thick. That’s an impressive decrease in thickness for a watch that wasn’t that chunky in the first place. And that, of course, could be achieved because of the brand-new and slimmer 7140 automatic movement. To learn more about everything new with this movement, please check out RJ’s introduction article on the 1908. Now, let’s talk about what the 1908 feels like on the wrist.

Finally, a Rolex dress watch

When I look at those older Cellini designs, they look nice, but they don’t seem like watches Rolex would make. Just look at the picture of the Cellini earlier in this article. First of all, the Cellini text on the dial is a bit over the top, and the elongated Roman numerals and indices make it feel like the designers were trying just a little too hard. And that’s exactly what they have fixed on the 1908. It still has a much dressier design than the rest of the UK 1:1 Rolex fake watches in the catalog, of course. The new dial design, though, just embodies that proud, confident Rolex attitude, just like the brand’s stainless steel sports watches.

Nearly everything on the dial is in just the right place and well proportioned. There are just two things that aren’t, but I’ll get back to those in a second. First of all, the railroad-style tracks for the minutes and sub-seconds hold everything together very well, unlike the more open design on the former Cellini dials. The fairly large 12, 3, and 9 numerals have a strong character. But with the “open” 9 — a beloved element among enthusiasts — the dial still has a friendly character. I even like the “Superlative Chronometer” text above the sub-dial.

What I’m not completely sure about, though, are the hour and minute hands. I think it’s not so much their shape that I have a problem with. Rather, it’s the size and the thickness of them. To me, they look a bit too big and bold for the dressier watch that the 1908 is.

Have we met before?

Then again, on the wrist, the 1908 feels fantastic and in some way familiar. The watch isn’t directly inspired by any former Rolex reference, but it still has a vintage-like air about it. That makes it feel like you’ve seen this top super clone Rolex watches several times before. I also really like the fact that it isn’t the dressiest dress watch out there. Even with the fairly plain sub-seconds at 6 o’clock, the yellow or white gold numerals still keep it somewhat sporty.

But that sporty character might also be reinforced by the fairly large 39mm case and the short lugs. For a dress watch, I would probably choose a smaller size, such as my 34.5mm Breguet 5907. So I must say that the 1908 feels a bit on the large side for my 17cm (6.7″) wrist. Then again, with its short lugs, the case doesn’t stick out too far from my wrist. On the contrary, it actually wraps itself nicely around it. On the older 39mm Cellini models, the lug-to-lug only measured 45.2mm, which is quite short for a watch of that diameter. I wasn’t able to measure the lug-to-lug on the new 1908 myself, but I can imagine it isn’t that far off.

And one more thing that accentuates the sportiness is the super matte, nearly anthracite black dial. There’s no sparkle, no glossiness, nothing, and I like it. The white dial, on the other hand, has a silvery look and reflects a lot of the light that it catches.

A new clasp and an exhibition case back

Other than the size, the completely new butterfly clasp also increases the comfort on the wrist, even when you want to take the best Rolex copy watches off. First of all, the clasp has a new shape that better resembles the shape of our wrists. And it doesn’t just rely on a friction closure. There are actually two levers on both sides of the clasp that have to be used to open it. This will take away that “I’m going to break it” feeling that you may get with a friction-based clasp.

Just like the platinum version of the wholesale Rolex Daytona super clone watches, the 1908 also has a transparent case back, through which you can see the new, slimmer 7140 movement. With the 18K gold rotor, I do think the display case back suits the watch. However, the finishing of the movement, though nice, is not jaw-droppingly impressive. In the end, I don’t think the exhibition case back adds a lot of value, but it is nice to have.

Final words

So, other than the hands, I think the 2023 replica Rolex watches designers have done a great job with the 1908. They took the Cellini and turned it into something with a distinctly Rolex feel to it. I’m still not sure whether the 1908 will become much more popular than its Cellini predecessors, though. After all, Rolex simply isn’t known for its dress watches. People who buy Rolex super clone watches online often want others to notice that they are wearing a Rolex. Call it a hunch, but I doubt that will be the case with the 1908.

A Quick Hands-On With The All-New High Quality Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Super Clone Watches UK In RLX Titanium

Together with the all-new Perpetual 1908 and the yellow gold and steel GMT-Master II, the luxury super clone Rolex Yacht-Master 42 watches in titanium is one of my favorite Rolex releases this year. So when we received an invitation to the Rolex booth last week at Watches and Wonders, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. But I actually had to fight for it because Nacho and Dave also couldn’t wait to try it on. Because we were so excited, we figured some of you might be as well, so we decided to do a quick hands-on with the all-new Rolex Yacht-Master 42 in Grade 5 RLX titanium.

Mike already mentioned in his introduction article that he always considered the Yacht-Master rather odd for a sports watch. The same is true for me. For some reason, the combination of very sporty looks and precious metals has never convinced me. It was just a little too fancy for my taste. But the fact that it now comes in so-called RLX titanium with a Cerachrom (ceramic) bezel insert totally changes my view of the perfect UK Rolex Yacht-Master replica watches.

Hopes were high!

I know it’s not the first titanium watch from Rolex, but it definitely is the most wearable one. Let’s face it, very few people will wear that humungous Deepsea Challenge to go desk diving with, even though it’s made out of titanium. And to be completely honest with you, I already expected the 42mm Yacht-Master to be a little too big for my wrist. But still, the fact that the best Rolex super clone watches is made of a lightweight material did make me get my hopes up. So yes, I was incredibly excited to get into that room with the rest of the Fratello team and the Rolex representatives.

Unfortunately, though, this wasn’t the only watch released this year. In fact, it was just one among many! Watch after watch was passed along the table, and many wrist shots were taken. Morgan, our photographer, also took the chance to perform a little photo shoot with each of the new references. The tension was building. Finally, about halfway through the meeting, there it was — the dark gray and black Swiss movements fake Rolex Yacht-Master 42 watches. And man, does it look good in the metal!

Stealth mode

Compared to the other Yacht-Masters out there, this one looks like a proper tool watch. Apart from the bevels on top of the lugs and the crown guards, the case is entirely brushed. This gives it a more informal, sportier feel. The dark gray tones of the Grade 5 titanium case, the mainly matte bezel insert, and the black dial make it look like the 2023 Rolex Yacht-Master super clone watches has gone into stealth mode. Maybe that’s why the bright white indices on the dial actually look like they’ve gotten the “Maxi” treatment. I don’t know if they’re bigger than the indices on the other Yacht-Master 42 references, but it does feel like they’re a bit oversized.

It might, of course, be that I’m just not used to a watch of this size, and besides, the indices still look great. They match perfectly with the big “Mercedes” hour hand and the lollipop on the seconds hand. If someone asked me to name a super legible watch, this one would definitely be high up on the list (well, apart from the unlumed all-black bezel). I’m sure you could already feel this coming, but I really like the monotone looks of the titanium 1:1 Rolex Yacht-Master copy watches. A touch of red on the dial, like on the Tudor Pelagos 39, would not have been out of place. However, the fact that it isn’t there makes this a very stealthy and clean-looking watch to behold.

On the wrist

After that first impression, it was time to put the AAA Rolex super clone watches on my 17cm (6.7″) wrist. Of course, it wasn’t sized specifically for me, and I only had limited time to try it on. But still, it felt intriguingly good. Sure, at 42mm wide and 50.3mm from lug to lug, it’s a big watch, especially compared to what I usually wear. So yes, I did feel like it was a bit too big for my wrist. However, because the RLX titanium is so light, the bigger size is less of a bother. And for our colleague Dave, whose wrist is even slightly smaller than mine, the size wasn’t a problem at all. He has a slightly flatter wrist, though, and he’s used to wearing the 42mm Explorer II reference 226570.

I also think the dark gray tones make it stand out a bit less than the usual stainless steel. That helps to make it “blend in” more with your wrist. But still, I hope that Rolex will also introduce a 40mm Yacht-Master in titanium or maybe even a 37mm version at some point. I think these would be great for people with a wrist size similar to mine. Sure, I can pull off this 42mm version, but that smaller size would make the titanium cheap Rolex Yacht-Master replica watches fit even better.

Weight loss at a premium

For now, I won’t add the titanium Yacht-Master to my wish list, but that’s not because of its fantastic looks. Honestly, it just feels a bit too big for my wrist. And maybe I should be happy about that because, with a list price of €14,000, this certainly isn’t an affordable watch. It also means you’re paying a €4,000 premium for the fact that the top super clone Rolex watches is made out of titanium. That’s almost a 40% increase when you compare it to the price of the slightly similar Submariner Date in stainless steel.

When you look at Tudor, for example, the premium for a titanium watch is a lot lower. The 39mm Black Bay 58 in stainless steel costs almost €4,000, and the titanium Pelagos 39 costs almost €4,600. That’s a premium of about 15%. And I’m not even sure if there should be a premium for a titanium watch at all, but if there must be, Tudor’s seems a lot more reasonable than Rolex’s.

Final words

Price and size aside, though, the wholesale fake Rolex Yacht-Master 42 watches in RLX titanium is still an incredibly nice watch. What else did you expect from the brand with the crown? And I’m sure it will attract a whole new audience that wasn’t interested in the previous versions of the Yacht-Master.
