In 1956, the Rolex was one of the most complex replica watches in the Rolex lineup when it was first debuted in 1956. The movement was different from any other Rolex timepiece on the market, while it was powered by the fake Rolex’s already famous automatic winding technology. It was developed to include both a day and date wheel. The impressive Day-Date movement set a better standard in watch-making, leading to even more creative timepieces over the course of the next decades.
Rolex improved the bar again in the late 1990’s with the release of the President Day-Date ref. 18238. Just like its predecessors, this model characterized the now-iconic day and date apertures on its dial together with a gorgeous yellow gold finish. However, there was a newly designed calibre 3155 perpetual movement within its case developed by the luxury Rolex replica to include a Double Quickset function.
The genius design behind the Rolex Double Quickset function that debuted with that model permitted the wearer to adjust both the date and day apertures separately from the current time with ease, as opposed to older Day-Date models that required endless winding. The Double Quickset function was simple to use: easily twist the crown towards the 12-hour marker to adjust the date or towards the 6-hour marker to change the day.
The day and date apertures are high on the list of the Day-Date’s most defining characteristics. Many collectors may argue that what makes this model so attractive to its large following, but, is its opulent and rich layout. Utilizing only precious metals, the Day-Date watch is on par with some of the world’s most lavish timepieces and will surely leave a lasting impression on all who gaze upon it. And owing to Rolex’s notoriously tough design, which always consists of a waterproof screw-down crown and a protective crystal over the dial, the amazing replica watch will hold its value well and potentially last a lifetime in your watch box.
It wasn’t until later that the Day-Date acquired its nickname “The President’s Watch”, shortly after Presidents have been spotted wearing these on their wrists. While some of these watches were accompanied by a five-link Jubilee bracelet together with most other rolex Day-Date fake watches, are generally paired with a President bracelet with three-piece links and a hidden Crownclasp. No matter the feature set, the Day-Date will forever be associated with power, high-class, and wealth thanks to its past owners.
The use of valuable metals surely adds to the Rolex President Day-Date price and creates a promising resale value as well. The popular watch can also be found with diamond encrusted bezels and dials, which ask for a rather higher price.
