With vintage 1:1 fake Rolex UK, I always come back to the Explorer ref. 1016. It is my watch of choice most days and the only vintage piece from the Crown currently in my watch box. So why am I talking about the Explorer in an article supposedly all about perfect replica Rolex Submariners? The early 1980s 5513 shares everything I love about my Explorer and is upgraded in all of the areas I find the 1016 to be slightly lacking. Without a date or an unnecessary, to my non-underwater and non-AARP card-carrying eyes, “cyclops” crystal, I have always preferred the simple look of a 5513. With a more substantial case and the accuracy of a top fake Rolex caliber made in the 1980s, there are creature comforts and ease of wear points here that my Explorer just does not score.

When I say always, I am talking about early episodes of Talking Watches like John Mayer, Matt Jacobson, and Morgan King, the ones that engage with “real” vintage cheap replica Rolex culture. This was before I was really on Instagram, a different world. The Submariners presented to me and countless others in those “classic HODINKEE” years? That’s right, they had matte dials. There is something so 2014, New York City, leather gloves and a set of vintage Porsche keys in a lifestyle photo about a good matte-dialed Sub.

That feeling cannot be replicated by a more modern example for me. Once the white gold surrounds hit the dial, somehow a portion of what makes an AAA replica Rolex Submariner a Submariner was lost. Even when a late-’80s or -’90s gloss dial has some patina to the tritium lume, it almost feels out of place. There are pros – many pros – to these watches, and I completely understand why our customers continually request them. But give me the matte dial every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

The best quality fake watch we have this week is what is known as a Mark IV “Maxi” dial which is characterized by the “Submariner” branding above the depth rating and the specific font for the “S” in Submariner having a more aggressive-looking “zig-zag” appearance. I know the nerdy details of vintage Rolex dials are not for everybody but, hey, they are for me. The variation and scholarship are just not on the same level for more modern Rolex Submariners replica Rolex online. Check out all of the Submariners in the Online Shop, but make sure this one sells before Saori’s example does so I can say I won.
