Part of the brand’s collection since 1945, the Rolex Datejust is the ultimate everyday luxury watch. While the model comes in a vast assortment of styles including different sizes, metals, bracelets, bezels, and dial designs, what remains constant across all Datejust watches is its time and date functionality. The hour, minute, and seconds hands are always placed at the center while the date window is always found at the 3 o’clock position. In true Rolex fashion, the Datejust watch is easy to use and operate but there are a few things to keep in mind when setting the time and date. Read on for our quick guide on how to set the date and time on a Rolex Datejust.Earlier models of the Rolex Datejust did not yet have the quickset date feature. A quickset date feature means that the date can be set independently from the timekeeping hands. Conversely, on a non-quickset Datejust, the minute and hour hands have to be advanced past midnight to change the numeral in the date window.Rolex introduced the quickset date function to the Datejust lineup in 1977 with the introduction of Caliber 3035 movement. So if your Datejust was made in 1977 or later and is powered by Caliber 3035 or subsequent movements (Cal. 3135, 3136, or 3235) then it has the quickset feature.Regardless of when a Datejust was produced, they all come equipped with a screw-down winding crown to ensure the watch’s water resistance. Therefore, a Rolex winding crown must be unscrewed first before any adjustments can be made.
Looks-wise, the watch that comes the closest to an all-steel model is now the ref. 116509, which is cast in solid 18k white gold and has the price tag to prove it.That means a delve into the archives is the only avenue still open should you want one, and it is the previous generation that is proving the most affordable. The ‘Zenith’ Daytona ref. 16520, powered by the fabled El Primero, is still the gateway into steel Cosmograph Daytona ownership.Of course, the word ‘affordable’ is all relative. Prices start at around the $20,000 mark, which is a hefty slice of anyone’s money. Yet beyond being one of the most handsome and capable models ever made, any Rolex Daytona represents perhaps the surest investments watch collecting has to offer.It’s a tough call, but the starkly austere Explorer might well be the watch that has changed the least (visually) over its 70-year run. That is even for a manufacture that updates aesthetics at the glacial pace that Rolex does. Every reference, from the prototype Pre-Explorer ref. 6150 from 1952 up to the last of the ref. 114270s in 2010, have been simple three handers, with the beautifully legible white on black 3/6/9 dials, housed in a 36mm case.Then along came the ref. 214270, identical in the detailing but the first example to grow beyond the dimensions in 58-years, measuring 39mm. It increased in size for the same reason as the Datejust – fashions demanded it – but unlike that watch, it became the only option available.That is no bad thing. The Explorer is perhaps the last of the true tool watches in the Rolex catalog. There is nothing about any iteration of the watch that is designed to look flashy or draw attention to itself, and a few extra millimeters doesn’t change that. The new Explorer is basically the old Explorer, and whichever you choose will come down to whether your wrist size suits one or the other.Its strength has always been in its simplicity, and it remains one of the best value for money prospects on the pre-owned Rolex market. $5,000-$6,000 is the buy-in point for a well set up example of the ref. 114270 or, if you fancy going the real vintage route, the celebrated ref. 1016 (personal timepiece of James Bond author Ian Fleming) starts at a little over twice that. Tough, elegant and perfectly built, the Explorer has always stayed true to Rolex’s roots.
On top is the sapphire crystal to cover the elegant dial.The bracelet is made of the same material as its case, and on the folding buckle, there are the Rolex logo and other information of the model, just as the same as per original. This replica Rolex Yacht-Master watch is driven by a Asian 2813 automatic movement, supporting its functions well.

I hold this new arrival in my hand and look into it carefully, then I agree with what I was told. No matter the look or the material, it is exactly the same as the original. I think you would like me to show you more details as below.It seems that Rolex designed the GMT-Master II for specific group, but more and more people who travel a lot or love traveling would prefer to wear this watch. The reason is the elegant look and its useful functions. The 40mm case is made of 314L stainless steel and looks good not only during travelling all over the world but also good for any business occasions. On the black dial, there are dots and stick markers, and except for the hour, minute and second function, there is also date display and GMT. The date indicator is at 3:00, and we can see it adopts Rolex’s traditional water-drop design to enlarge it. On the black bezel we can see there are numbers and markers, this is the most outstanding specification of this GMT-Master II watch, from hands on the dial we can tell the local time, and from the bezel and the 24-hour hand we can tell the time zone when you travel. And this is can be adjusted by the crown, so the traveler can always know the time of the departure and arrival places at the same time. The bezel is made of ceramic material, matching the sapphire cover perfectly. The strap is very Rolex style type, matching a folding clasp.The reason they said this is the best edition of replica Rolex GMT-Master II is that it is driven by a 1:1 super clone 3186 automatic movement, which can support it to work as well as the original. And, this watch looks younger than other gold and stainless steel models, looking good on the young as well.Specification: Movement: Clone 3186 Automatic Case: 40mm*13mm, 316L stainless steel Bezel: Real Black Ceramic Crystal: Sapphire, Anti-scratchDial: Black Bracelet: Solid 316L Stainless Steel Water Resistant: 100m .Replica Rolex Day Date II Two Tone 18K Gold Watch ReviewI am going to show you a replica Rolex Day Date II watch that is a very classic model from this classic watch brand. As one of the brand’s iconic models, Day Date II is always made of steel and gold, which becomes a perfect match as a case of this brand. The replica edition of this Rolex watch I want to present to is the best one I have met, as it is made of real 18K gold instead of gold-plating in most of the replica versions.Looking on the elegant white dial, we can see there are three golden needles and Roman numeral markers. I always like Roman numeral markers are much more than other styles, what do you think? At 12 o’clock position is the week window, and below the window there is Rolex’s logo which is attractive as always.

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.
