I will always love a luxury fake Rolex Submariner. It was the first proper vintage watch I got for myself, so I have fond memories and a soft spot for this classic dive watch. Though I was adamant at the time that I wanted a no-date ref. 5513 for a more symmetrical dial design, over the years the ref. 1680 has grown on me. In my mind, what makes a ref. 1680 special in the history of best quality replica Rolex Submariners is that it became the basis of what modern Subs evolved into. Without the success of this reference, perhaps current-day Subs might look quite different, but that we’ll never know.

When this UK AAA replica Rolex 1680 came to our desk, it quickly reminded me of the old Sub I used to have because of the grey bezel. Just like the “date vs. no-date” discussion, there are no right or wrong answers when it comes to a “faded or non-faded bezel” dilemma.

Personally, I am partial to the grey color whether it’s a dial or bezel color, so it’s hands-down the faded grey bezel that makes it special and adds a bit more character to the best 1:1 fake Rolex. Also, another important factor is that the lume color on this watch is truly beautiful, not too pale and not too orange, just the right shade of buttery yellow.

To top it all off, it comes with the presentation box, punched papers, and all the goodies. It rarely happens when everything comes together beautifully, so I’m very much tempted by this one. I’d say if you are looking for a ghost-y cheap fake Rolex Submariner with box and papers, look no further. You will not regret it for a second.
