Rolex Lady Datejust

The first watch in the Datejust collection was created in 1945 and symbolized a new post war era through its glamorous feel and amazing intricate details. The model came with waterproof mechanism and an elegant date design. Just as the first model, the new model is a symbol of opulence and offers a lot of exquisite features. In the 1950s a new model appeared which resembled the original but was designed especially for ladies, carrying a sort of sophistication undone before, not to mention a high level of functionality. The Lady Datejust nowadays is similar to both models designed for different sexes and has become an iconic watch for those who wish to retain an elegant look. The Lady Datejust is a smaller watch, just right for a delicate wrist. It measures a 26 mm case which is enhanced with various elements that will make it more than just a watch, almost a jewellery piece. Its elegant design is enhanced by the subtle shimmering colour that not only brings a sense of opulence but also manages to capture the sophistication of the elegant female that will be lucky enough to wear it.

The watch has been crafted in 118 carat gold but it is also available in other combinations from steel to platinum. Whatever the personality of its wearer is, they will be able to find something those suites them right as Rolex manages to create something for the minimalists but also something for the more glamorous wearers. The watch’s two tone bracelet is a celebration of superb craftsmanship as it adds even more beauty to an already perfect design. Actually the metal bracelet with the semi-circular three piece links was first introduced in 1956 in order to give the watch its refined look. Since then, the bracelets may have changed quite a bit but they still retain that refined feel they originally had. For its production, Rolex has used the finest materials and each watch is created with passion for watchmaking and for the finest details. It is a perfect gift to someone close to one’s heart, whether they are family or a significant other.

Rolex Datejust Two Tone Diamond

It’s hard not to be in awe when you first lay eyes on the superb Rolex Datejust Two Tone Diamond. The watch has been created to mimic perfection itself as it comes with an exquisite selection of materials and an absolutely grand design. It is a self-winding watch that has won many awards both for its amazing mechanism and its superb design. With its classic style the Datejust offers the benefit of an incredibly sophisticated watch that is made with modern characteristics in a more vintage look. Due to its overall look the watch is extremely easy to invest in as it will be a classic choice for generations to come.

With its Jubilee bracelet the watch makes even more of an appearance, not to mention the effortless cool feeling it gives its wearer. The jubilee bracelet on the Datejust is a light and extremely beautiful bracelet that gives the watch a sense of royalty. Intertwined with gold and silver, the two tone bracelet makes a great support system for the exquisite diamond watch. Those who want to buy it can also opt for an Oyster bracelet but if you want your Rolex to be a dress watch the Jubilee is definitely much more suitable than the former, especially on a watch made with diamonds.

The diamonds have been incrusted in the design of the watch, first on the outer ring of the watch case and secondly, as hour markings inside the bezel. This offers the watch an extremely glamorous feel and makes it more of an investment rather than just a watch you can wear to special occasions. Inside, the dial features a beautiful and very sophisticated mother of pearl color that goes absolutely beautifully with the rest of the design and the color scheme chosen for this particular watch. The watch also features luminous hands and magnifying glass over its date, at 3 o’clock. The watch is also water resistant, but those who wear it should avoid diving as it is only resistant to about 100 meters due to its Twinlock screw down crown system.

Overall this is an incredible watch that has very good potential as an investment, not to mention the fact that it looks absolutely amazing. The Rolex Datejust Two Tone Diamond is a definite buy for someone who wants something special as an extravagant gift to themselves or an outstanding gift for someone they love.

Fake GMT Master

I recently bought this watch for my husband as he is a fan of Rolex watches and always wanted one. I wanted to give him this for his birthday and surprise him with a nice looking watch. Obviously the price tag on an original Rolex watch kept him from doing so and I decided to buy one for him and chose replica watch, the Rolex GMT-Master which is one of his favorites.

The customer service on this replica watches website was so and so, I wasn’t particularly impressed with their promptitude as they didn’t deliver everything in the time they said they would. Another issue with the service was the fact that I found that the person answering the calls and emails wasn’t very polite and sometimes even rushed me, however I told them how to properly package the watch so that it would be packed as a present.

My husband is stationed at a military base and the address on my credit card was obviously not the same as the one I wanted the watch to be delivered as he currently doesn’t live with me. It took a very long time for the staff to understand these particularities of my order and they sent me two emails where the address stated was the same on my credit card although I told them numerous times on the phone and through emails that I wanted the watch to be delivered as a present to my husband’s address. This was a very long process which ended up with my present arriving one week after my husband’s birthday, which really upset me.

However, even if this part of the service was bad my husband told me that the present came wrapped really nice with a cute birthday card and I really appreciated that. I haven’t seen the watch live, I’ve only seen it in pictures from my husband and on webcam, but as much as I saw, I can say that it was pretty similar to the original watch and that added to the overall satisfaction. The watch also doesn’t look like a replica and seems nicely crafted. Also, the most important part of this ordeal was the fact that my husband really liked the watch and received a lot of compliments while wearing it, so as long as the watch satisfies him, I am happy with this experience.

Rolex Sky-Dweller

It is common knowledge that not everyone affords a Rolex watch, especially a beautiful Rolex Sky Dweller. For those more fortunate, the watch seems to be the embodiment of perfect technology and great design. Apparently, there have been 14 patents that have been put into this watch and it has been created to provide features and information for those who travel a lot or professionals. One of its amazing features is the fact that people can keep track of time, no matter where they are going.

The watch was launched in 2012 at Baselworld and since then it has been a massive hit. One of the reasons for this is the fact that the watch has an extremely modern look that appeals to both mid-age and younger people. It is also a watch typical for the man who wants to go to extremes and the professional who perhaps needs its functions to save his life. The interesting aspect is the fact that there are people out there who are willing to pay a great amount of money on this even if they won’t fully use it and this is because of the way it looks and feels, not to mention the prestige of wearing a high end brand like Rolex.

With its revolutionary design the watch comes with a blend between modern, functional, simple to use and extremely beautiful. However, there has been controversy regarding the way it looks, especially because a lot of people think this is a mixture between too classy and too modern. But this factor alone has given this watch its popularity. As it was mentioned earlier, the watch does come with awesome functions such as the annual calendar that was inspired from the astronomical phenomenon Saros and the Cyclops lens over the date. It also comes with a rotatable fluted bezel and a case that is made with 18 ct gold that features elegant elements. There are many models besides the one presented here, such as the golden tone model or the chocolate tone model. When it comes to its functionality, the user can easily rotate the bezel to access the watch functions with a few simple moves.

The 42 mm case is perfect for any wrist, so if you are looking for an average sized watch this is probably it. The dial comes with a lovely ivory shade that only enhances the sophistication that lies within the design of this watch.

The Rolex Sky Dweller might be a hybrid, but it definitely blends evenly all the contrasting elements creating a beautiful timepiece that will be worn with pride.
