Rolex has been manufacturing watches with 34mm case diameters for the majority of their long and distinguished history; however, these “mid-size” models such as the Date and Air-King often get overlooked due to the multitude of options that exist in the more standard, 36mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual case size. However, Rolex has manufactured a number of excellent watches – both vintage and contemporary – that have 34mm case diameters, and their highly versatile size allows them to look at-home on wrists of virtually any gender or measurement.Although the Datejust collection has historically had a case diameter of 36mm for the standard full-size model, Rolex also manufactures a line of watches called the Date that offers many of the same design traits and features of the Datejust – even the same movement too – only in a slightly smaller overall package.One of the most “quintessentially Rolex” watches currently in production with a 34mm case diameter is the reference 115234 Date. With a Cyclops magnification lens, stainless steel Oyster bracelet, and 18k white gold fluted bezel, the reference 115234 Date checks all the same design boxes as the Datejust, just with a slightly reduced size. Additionally, since the 34mm Date and the 36mm Datejust share the same movement, the reference 115234 is in no way a “lesser” watch compared to the Datejust, just one that is 2mm smaller.Since consumer trends favored smaller wristwatches in past decades, a number of great vintage Rolex references exist with 34mm case diameters. One of the longest-running Rolex models of all time is the reference 5500 Air-King, which boasts a super clean and minimal dial design that perfectly complements its slightly reduced case size.The reference 5500 remained in production for thirty-seven years, during which time it was fitted with both Rolex’s Caliber 1520 and Caliber 1530 movements – neither of which were chronometer-certified. Due to their long production run, reference 5500 Air-King watches were manufactured in relatively large numbers and can still be purchased for very reasonable prices. Fitted with one of the cleanest and least text-heavy dials found inside any Rolex watch, the Air-King 5500 pre-dates the widespread implementation of chronometer-certified movements and represents one of the best entry points into vintage Rolex collecting.Although the Day-Date President is the classic all-gold Rolex watch, it has never been manufactured in a size smaller than 36mm. However, throughout its history, Rolex has produced a number of all-gold watches within their Date collection that have 34mm case diameters, and lack the additional complication for displaying the day of the week that is found on the flagship Day-Date line of watches.One of the more modern incarnations of the all-gold 34mm Date is the reference 15238, which stands out due to a number of characteristics that help separate it from previous iterations of Rolex’s all-gold 34mm Date watch. While earlier examples were made from 14k gold, there reference 15238 is craft from 18k – the same as what Rolex uses to manufacture their flagship Day-Date President watch. Additionally, the Date 15238 is fitted with Rolex’s Caliber 3135 movement and a synthetic sapphire crystal, which give it all the ingredients necessary to be a fairly modern watch.
Great care goes into every aspect of a Rolex wristwatch, from the intricate movement that beats within the case to the lume on the dial and the metals and gems that decorate its exterior. It takes about a year to produce each watch that hits the market, so you can rest assured that the Rolex you are investing in is of the absolute highest quality. Gold and diamond Rolex watches are among the most coveted for their powerful and luxurious aesthetic. Today, we will take a closer look at Rolex’s collection of diamond watches, including which models offer diamonds, how much they cost, and the ever-growing risky world of aftermarket customizations.Every stone on a Rolex watch is meticulously examined and chosen for its clarity and quality. Every diamond is virtually perfect and will hold its value well. The gems are then each set by hand by an expert gemologist with the same care that is afforded to a fine piece of jewelry. This close attention to detail creates a stunning wristwatch that will stand the test of time. While it’s most common to see a diamond-set dial or diamond bezel, some watches are also adorned with diamonds on their lugs or bracelet.As modern watch tastes shift, fewer models in the Rolex catalog are available with factory-set diamonds. Sports models that were once produced with diamonds, such as the Submariner and GMT Master II, have since-been replaced in favor of less opulent references. However, there is still a great demand for diamond Rolex watches, and the brand continues to offer timepieces adorned with factory-set diamonds, such as the Day-Date, Datejust, Date, Daytona, Yacht-Master, and Pearlmaster. These diamond Rolexes are tasteful and thoughtfully designed to offer just enough opulence without appearing too flashy, a fact that has contributed greatly to their success.
The replica Rolex Explorer II features a white dial, there is also a black dial version. White and black match really well, like this 216570 replica, on white dial, the hour markers and hands all have black edge, which has a high contrast with the white dial background. The orange GMT hand echoes with the orange printing “EXPLORER II”, looks very obvious and eye-catching. Hour markers and hands are applied super lume material, so the dial will have a strong lume effect in the dark, which is very convenient for you to read the time.For me, who pursue perfection, I focus its texture such as weight more than the details. When I first hold the replica on hand, I feel a little heavy, it gives me a big surprise because a lot of replica watches have a very light weight, but this one is heavy, this absolutely makes me believe that the replica is made of high-level solid steel material, actually it is, the 316L stainless steel is currently the best watch material. With screw-down crown and case back is perfectly sealed, the replica watch is tested to be 50m waterproof by Noob factory workers.Replica Rolex 36mm Datejust 116233 Champagne Gold Watch ReviewI did not give too many reviews on ladies watches, all replicas reviewed here are for men, they look strong and most of them are particularly made for special purpose. Some readers here asked me whether there is good quality replica watches for ladies, maybe they want to buy one for their girlfriend or wife. Actually there are a lot of good ladies watches in our market, such as Cartier, Chopard, etc., Rolex also has their ladies collection, the 36mm and 28mm Datejust or Day Date are all made for ladies. Here I am going to introduce one replica watch, it is a champagne gold Datejust, in 36mm, which is a medium size and will fit the wrist of most women. The two tone is a very popular style, and the diamonds on dial add more luxury feeling to this gold replica.The watch has a steel and champagne gold color, fluted bezel is champagne gold plated, like the three middle links of the bracelet. The dial is the place that perfectly shows the feminity of the Datejust watch, besides its champagne gold color, the diamond hour markers are also the most common decoration which you could find on a lot of ladies watches. The bracelet contains five sections of links, the middle three links are golden, which are in line with the gold tone of bezel and dial. There are two golden versions for this replica, one is gold-plated, the other is 18k wrapped gold version, absolutely the latter is the best, but its price is also very high.Crystal is sapphire, which is highly resistant, the magnifier on the crystal is anti-reflective, through the magnifier, the date is clearly readable – black date font on a white background. The replica is made by BP factory, the 2824 movement inside is an Asian clone one, not genuine, we also call it Sea-Gull 2824, because it is modified from a Sea-Gull automatic movement. Look at the golden crown buckle, it fastens the clasp tightly. Clasp engravings are all correct, they are completed by laser.
