Rolex Clone

The Rolex clone models we stock

The catalogue is weighted towards the chronographs and the gold dress references, which is where demand sits.

• Daytona, roughly 50 references, the largest single group and the hardest movement in the range.
• Day-Date, around 30 references in yellow, rose, Everose and white gold, in both 36mm and 40mm.
• GMT-Master II, 10 references covering Batman, Pepsi, Sprite, Root Beer and the two-tone versions.
• Oyster Perpetual, 9 references, the simplest and least expensive Rolex we sell.
• Submariner, Datejust, Sky-Dweller, Sea-Dweller, Explorer, Air-King, Yacht-Master and Land-Dweller fill out the rest.

Price by model, from live stock

These are our current selling prices, read from the catalogue rather than estimated.

Where the money actually goes above $2,000

Only the Day-Date crosses $2,000 in any volume, and every step above that figure is metal. A plated Day-Date and a solid 18k Day-Date use the same cloned movement, the same dial tooling and the same case dimensions. What changes is that the gold is real, so the watch gains roughly 60 to 80 grams, the colour will never wear through at the lugs, and it can be tested. If you are buying to wear rather than to be tested, the plated build is the same watch for a fifth of the money. If you want the weight in the hand, that is a real difference and it is the only one you are paying for.

Which factory to buy, by model

No factory leads the whole range. Clean Factory covers the current sports references, with a cloned 3186 for the GMT and a cloned 4130 for the Daytona. AR Factory is the one to buy for older 40mm Submariner references. ZF is an alternative on the Datejust and Day-Date. Buy the factory that specialises in your reference rather than the one with the loudest general reputation.

Where a Rolex replica usually fails

1. Weight and bracelet feel. Hollow end links and a plated case give it away in the hand before anything visual registers.
2. Cyclops magnification. The genuine lens magnifies 2.5x and sits centred over the date. Most replicas undermagnify.
3. Bezel click count. A Submariner bezel has 120 clicks with a firm, damped action.
4. Dial printing at 10x. Coronet shape and text edges should stay sharp under a loupe.
5. Lume colour. Wrong shade of blue or green, and it dies within an hour.

Before it ships

Every Rolex we send spends 24 to 48 hours on a timegrapher. We photograph the watch ourselves, never with factory stock images, and you approve the QC photographs and video before it leaves. If the bezel alignment or the date centring is wrong, you reject it and we replace it. The warranty is two years, in writing.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a Rolex super clone?

$1,000 to $12,400 in our catalogue. The bottom of that band is a steel Sky-Dweller or Oyster Perpetual. The top is a solid 18k gold Day-Date, where you are paying for gold weight and not for a better replica.

Which Rolex is the best first replica?

An Oyster Perpetual or an Explorer. Both are simple watches with no date magnification and no bezel function, so there is less for a factory to get wrong, and both sit near the bottom of the price band.

Which Rolex is hardest to replicate?

The Sky-Dweller. Its annual calendar and Ring Command bezel are partly simplified on every version currently made, regardless of factory. We say so on the product pages rather than pretending otherwise.
