Manchester United’s centre midfield weapon Kobbie Mainoo might only be 19 years old, but he’s been at the club since he was six, making his first team debut last year. But that didn’t stop him from catapulting his way into Gareth Southgate’s England Euro 2024 squad, and playing a starring role in their run to the final. And off the pitch he’s equally starry with his perfect UK Rolex replica watches game in particular bringing some serious horological rizz.
Take a look at Mainoo’s Instagram, and you’re gonna see a blend of match day pics, and steezy fit pics with brands like Bottega Veneta, Chrome Hearts, and Louis Vuitton thrown in the mix with some tasty tickers, too. “The biggest thing I’ve noticed with Kobbie is his style and the pieces he picks out are different to what most teenagers wear. That relates to the calm and mature manner he plays with on the pitch, too,” says Jordan Clarke, founder of footie fashion page Footballer Fits. “He doesn’t wear hyped pieces that football players already have in rotation but instead seems to hunt for the pieces others don’t have.”
On the pitch, he’s known for keeping things cool and precise, so his AAA online fake Rolex GMT Master II ‘Root Beer’ watches is a pretty solid reflection of this. The GMT was first released in the ’50s, and worn by Pan American Airlines pilots and staff, allowing them to track two time zones on the same watch. Then in the ‘80s it was revamped, with the GMT II still allowing wearers to track two time zones on the same display (thanks to its rotating bezel), but with the option to track a third.
Mainoo bagged the bi-coloured ‘Root Beer’ with an Oyster Steel and Everose Gold bracelet. Sure it might be hyper-functional, but with its insane demand and wearable appeal, it’s a legit flex, too. When you’re starting Euro finals before your 20th birthday, it’s a match made in watch heaven. “With the GMT Master II, it’s an iconic, recognisable timepiece that is essential to any best Rolex copy watches collection showing Kobbie’s style knowledge clearly extends to the watch game too,” says Clarke.
Ex-manager Erik ten Hag described the midfielder as “very mature for his age,” to Sky Sports in March this year, and his taste in watches says the same. The footie star’s thing for really rare Rollies doesn’t stop at the GMT II. He’s also been seen rocking an olive dial Everose top UK replica Rolex Day-Date 40 watches. It’s a flagship Rolex that was first introduced in 1956 and with a gold presidential dial, it means serious business. With its day and date calendar displays, it’s as functional as it is fashionable, and makes for a nice little treat with a £40k pat on the back.
“It’s a luxury piece that isn’t too loud but still gives off that sense of class, which sums up Kobbie. The cheap Rolex Day-Date replica watches‘ exclusivity is another factor as to why the watch is almost a perfect match to his wrist,” says Clarke. “The uniqueness of his style and its tag of the ‘President’s Watch’ only highlights this further given the control and leadership he holds over Manchester United’s midfield whenever he plays.”
With this classic 1:1 China Rolex super clone watches, Mainoo is the latest member of the Three Lions President club, joining England teammates Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford in owning one. In fact, the current England squad is packed with watch guys. Harry Kane has a thing for Patek Philippe Nautliuses, Pickford is is the proud owner of a Rolex Daytona 116523, and Phil Foden rocks a gold Rolex Sky Dweller replica watches for sale.
For a 19 year-old, Kobbie Mainoo’s collection of Swiss movements Rolex copy watches is going strong. With a rugged Root Beer GMT II and ultra Boujie Everose President, even by footballers’ standards, it’s a solid line-up.
About two years ago, Rolex announced its Certified Pre-Owned program. It’s a partnership between Rolex and several official retailers worldwide. In short, these retailers can now offer pre-owned Rolex replica watches for sale with a brand-issued authenticity certificate and a two-year international warranty. Recently, I sat down with David Bijlsma, Chief Commercial Officer at Gassan, to talk about the Rolex Certified Pre-Owned program and get a better understanding of what it offers to customers.
Rolex Certified Pre-Owned at Gassan
Gassan is a family-owned business with 15 stores in the Netherlands (including those at Schiphol Airport). The company also has seven stores at Changi Airport in Singapore. I visited David Bijlsma at the House of Gassan in the center of Amsterdam. The company started in 1945 as a diamond cutter at this location, but it now has several in-store boutiques and service departments. Needless to say, it includes an impressive-sized Rolex boutique and Rolex service department. But we sat down in Gassan’s room for pre-owned perfect Rolex fake watches, a big space that reminded me of a luxuriously decorated apartment with comfy sofas.
A living-room experience
It’s a homey atmosphere that Gassan has created, and it’s the perfect setting to have a look at some of the stunning pre-owned watches (from all sorts of brands, including ones Gassan doesn’t carry as a retailer) while enjoying a coffee. Large windows bring the perfect amount of daylight, which was originally to ensure the diamond cutters had the best light to do their tasks. These days, it’s perfect for studying luxury UK Rolex copy watches with natural light rather than hard spotlights.
An interview with David Bijlsma, Chief Commercial Officer at Gassan
On David Bijlsma’s wrist was AAA Swiss replica Rolex Explorer II ref. 1655 watches from 1971 with its original Oyster bracelet. As this watch is from his birth year, it is his prized possession. It was also a perfect watch for the occasion, a discussion about the Rolex Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program offered through Gassan.
Robert-Jan Broer (RJB): Gassan already has experience selling pre-owned watches. The Rolex CPO program brings a “certified and guaranteed” policy, but one can assume you already only offered authentic, warranty-covered pre-owned Rolex fake watches for men to customers. What’s the advantage for the customer when buying a Rolex from the CPO collection compared to your previous pre-owned Rolex collection?
David Bijlsma (DB): What I love about Rolex is that the watches are made to last for generations. We always ensured these watches were checked and verified by our team of competent and Rolex-certified watchmakers at Gassan. In addition to this, with the Rolex CPO program, Rolex checks each watch to verify its authenticity once more. It’s added value for the customer that Rolex also ensures the watch ticks all the boxes. Only cheap Rolex super clone watches three years and older qualify for this program, but there’s no maximum age. That means that even watches 50 years or older can be purchased through this program.
RJB: Is a vintage Rolex still covered by the warranty for two years, then?
DB: Yes, but we will advise customers not to treat a vintage watch the same way as a modern one. It’s a bit like classic cars; you will drive and treat those differently from a modern one too. Customers should know that a folded vintage Rolex bracelet is not the same as a modern one. It would be best if they treated vintage high quality Rolex replica watches with care, and we will make sure that they are aware of this.
RJB: Do you think the Rolex CPO program will draw in customers who usually buy a pre-owned Rolex elsewhere (not CPO)? In other words, do you expect to sell more pre-owned top fake Rolex watches UK now that you offer them via CPO?
DB: Indeed, I expect to sell more pre-owned Swiss movements Rolex copy watches this way. I now get people in here who usually wouldn’t even consider buying a pre-owned watch. Often, they’re already customers of Gassan, and now they see our pre-owned boutique with our selection of watches. With the Rolex CPO, they get a two-year factory warranty, which offers them extra confidence to buy pre-owned. We love the program because both Rolex and Gassan want to offer quality in everything we do, ensuring customers are happy. We have many clients, and some even have been with us for generations, so we don’t settle for anything less. So as soon as Rolex started with the CPO, we were enthusiastic and convinced of its success.
RJB: What about the price differences between the non-certified pre-owned watches and those in the CPO program?
DB: We need to ensure that the pricing stays competitive. However, doing these extra checks and ensuring authenticity and quality does come at a certain cost. We see that customers are willing to pay a bit extra to have that confidence when buying a pre-owned Rolex. Also, keep in mind that a pre-owned Rolex with official authentication and a factory warranty is more exclusive than other offerings in the pre-owned market.
RJB: So, what happens when someone offers you a Rolex for your Rolex CPO program?
DB: This service is only for those who want to sell a watch to us. The certification is not for someone who owns a Rolex and wants to have it certified. When someone offers us Rolex replica watches store, we do some preliminary checks to make sure everything is authentic. We have a Rolex-exclusive service department that has a lot of expertise. If the watch passes all the checks, we’ll be confident in purchasing it. After the purchase, the watch will receive a service, and Rolex will authenticate it.
RJB: What happens if the watch has been a replacement bracelet, dial, hands, and so on from past services? Will it still pass Rolex’s authenticity check?
DB: If all the replacement parts can be identified as genuine Rolex parts, yes, it will pass that check. It’s still an authentic Rolex, and the company will ensure these fake Rolex watches paypal are built (and serviced) to last. In some cases, then, Rolex can’t let the watch leave the service facility without replacing parts to ensure everything is up to the standards. We will let customers know when external parts, such as a bracelet, are from a later period, for example.
RJB: The Rolex CPO program is available worldwide, but Gassan is the only dealer offering it in The Netherlands.
DB: Yes, that is correct. We share the same core values; it’s all about quality. We found the Rolex CPO strategy convincing from the start. Furthermore, we have the resources (an extensive Rolex service department) to do it best. Rolex is the forerunner when it comes to brands offering certified pre-owned Swiss 1:1 Rolex replica watches, and we’re happy to be part of it.
RJB: Thanks for your time and answers!
After the interview, David Bijlsma gave me a tour of the House of Gassan building. What surprised me was the size of the in-store Rolex boutique and the Rolex service department above it. The latter was the same size as the former, with at least a dozen watchmakers exclusively working on Rolex replica watches online shop.
A new customer for pre-owned Rolex at Gassan
When Rolex announced this CPO program for its authorized dealers, I was a bit pessimistic. Especially when looking at the prices, I wondered why I should buy a pre-owned Rolex from a CPO partner rather than a private seller or a dealer of pre-owned watches. Bijlsma clarified that there’s another type of buyer — i.e., those who wouldn’t even consider buying a pre-owned watch from Rolex or any brand.
As is often the case, my perspective was that of someone who feels comfortable buying pre-owned watches from unknown people or dealers. There’s an entire group of customers out there who wouldn’t even consider a pre-owned watch for various reasons. However, if their trusted authorized dealer can offer the watches in a comfortable environment along with an official Rolex certification, it might change their perspective.
This week, we jump into the world of the vintage models that came before the iconic watches we know today. Some have the same cases and dials with one simple difference: the famous names we know today were not printed on the dials. Others, however, are notably different perfect Rolex replica watches that preceded the famous Rolex icons that would follow. It’s time to discover more about these Rolex “pre-icon” models.
Before we get into our list, it’s important to clarify that some of the watches featured here are indeed considered part of the lineage of Rolex’s most famous watches. As mentioned, the simple absence of the name on the dial can be reason enough to feature a watch on this list, so please remember that we use the “pre-icon” term lightly. As we’ll see, most of these online Rolex fake watches UK sell for high prices because Rolex fans place great value on anomalies, and the market reflects that. But you will see that some of them are among the best watches that Rolex has ever created. So, without further ado, let’s jump in.
Replica Rolex (Pre-)Explorer ref. 6150 Watches
Let’s kick this list off with the Rolex ref. 6150, which was produced in 1952 and 1953 and is also known as the “Pre-Explorer.” Interestingly, Rolex produced this reference alongside the first high quality fake Rolex Explorer ref. 6350 watches. The latter featured the “Explorer” text on the dial, but the former did not. But it is indeed a very similar watch. It features the same 35.5mm case with the instantly recognizable black 3-6-9 dial that we now call the “Explorer dial.” In terms of readability, Rolex hit the nail on the head with this one.
But the dial of the ref. 6150 is different from that of the first Explorer. The dial of the Pre-Explorer features the wording “Rolex Oyster Perpetual” on the upper half and “Precision” on the lower half. The dial of the first Explorer ref. 6350 featured “Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer” on the upper half and “Officially Certified Chronometer” on the lower half. Besides the different dials, the movement is the other main difference between the two references.
The same movement but not a certified chronometer
Inside the case of the best Swiss copy Rolex ref. 6150 watches, you will find the self-winding caliber A296, which also powers the ref. 6350. The main difference is that Rolex fine-tuned the movements of the ref. 6350 to allow them to meet the chronometer certification standards. As you will understand, this explains the text on the lower half of the first Explorer’s dial. However, if you know your Explorer history, you’ll know that not all dials of the Pre-Explorer lack the “Explorer” designation. There are ref. 6150s that have it, but they are very uncommon.
As you will expect, any of these references and variations are rare. And “rare” in the Rolex universe means “expensive.” Expect to see asking prices for a Pre-Explorer 6150 start at roughly €35K and move up to €75K for pieces in good condition. Examples in great condition or ones with a special story can be found at auction and easily fetch even more. That’s no surprise because the first Explorers take you back to the exciting days right after Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay had summited Mt. Everest.
Fake Rolex Submariner ref. 6200 Watches
It’s only a small step to our second pick, the 1:1 wholesale replica Rolex Submariner ref. 6200 watches. Enthusiasts will understand why immediately. The Rolex Submariner ref. 6200 is the famous “King Sub” that features an Explorer dial with the same 3-6-9 layout as the first watch on our list.
The reason this reference is nicknamed the “King Sub” is because it was the first Submariner with the 8mm “big crown” with the “Brevet” signature. Other Submariners with this oversized crown were the ref. 6538 that Sean Connery wore as James Bond and the ref. 5510. It goes without saying that these luxury UK Rolex replica watches are tremendously popular with collectors.
The ref. 6200 came with two dial variations. The first features just the Rolex logo, brand name, and “Oyster Perpetual” on the upper half of the dial. However, the second does feature the Submariner name on the lower half of the dial. Rolex produced the ref. 6200 from 1955 to 1956, and the Swiss made fake Rolex watches featured a slightly thicker 38mm case than its predecessors.
Combining the case and the crown resulted in a 200m depth rating. Inside the case, Rolex equipped the watch with its caliber A296, which also powered the Pre-Explorer we just looked at. The look was completed with a famous riveted Oyster bracelet, making this a true classic. Rolex produced a total of 303 pieces of the ref. 6200, which makes it one of the rarest Rolex Submariners out there.
Rolex Submariner ref. 6205 Replica Watches
Our next pick is another Submariner reference. The 6205 came out in 1954, and the early dials did not feature the “Submariner” text on them. The cheap replica Rolex watches was in production for only a year, and during that time, Rolex made 810 examples of this reference. Keeping that in mind, you will understand that the number of 6205s with “Submariner-less” dials is quite low.
The Rolex super clone watches for men had a 38mm stainless steel case with a small crown and was water resistant to 100 meters. This reference is one of the so-called “Small Crown Submariners,” and it housed Rolex’s caliber A260. The movement is generally considered an upgrade from the A296 that powered the ref. 6200. The first 6205s had pencil hands, like the example in these pictures, while the later 6205s featured Mercedes hands. However, most of the dials without the “Submariner” text are combined with the former.
Nowadays, the Rolex Submariner ref. 6205 is mostly found at auctions and sells for huge sums of money. Most go for anywhere between €100K and €200K, while some examples in pristine condition go for even more. While the Rolex ref. 6204 is known as the first Submariner, the ref. 6205 without “Submariner” on the dial is the rarer and more sought-after watch.
Rolex “Pre-Daytona” ref. 6238 Fake Watches
The next watch is my favorite one on this list. It’s even one of my top three vintage Rolex replica watches store overall, sitting alongside the Explorer II ref. 1655 and the GMT-Master ref. 1675. Two years ago, I wrote a love letter about the Rolex Chronograph ref. 6238 “Pre-Daytona.” In it, I detailed why I love the watch so much. The style, the legendary movement, and the different versions Rolex produced make for a brilliant watch. On top of that, it’s the only watch on this list that strictly qualifies as a pre-icon because it was the predecessor of the iconic Daytona.
The Swiss movements Rolex copy watches was produced from 1962 until 1968 and led to the introduction of the Daytona ref. 6239. Having said that, there was an overlap in production with the Daytona, which debuted in 1963. However, there is a clear reason people refer to it as the “Pre-Daytona.” Simply, it bridged the gap in style between the old-school Rolex chronographs from the 1950s and the more modern style of the Daytona. The ref. 6238 had a 36mm case with a smooth bezel and the tachymeter scale printed on the dial.
The “Pre-Daytona” ref. 6238 bridged the gap
Over the six years that the 6238 was in production, Rolex supposedly made 3,500 pieces in stainless steel. Additionally, the brand produced a small number in yellow gold and rose gold. Where it gets a little more complicated is the number of dial variations. Rolex released no fewer than 14 executions. The steel models came with silver, gray, and black dials, each with a distinct vibe. My favorites are the gray- and black-dial versions, but they are also the hardest to find. The silver-dial version is by far the easiest to track down.
Rolex first equipped these best quality fake Rolex watches with the legendary Valjoux 72. Later versions, however, housed the updated Valjoux 722. The iconic chronograph movement also powered the famous Daytona that followed and chronographs from Breitling, Heuer, Longines, Gallet, and Universal Genève.
If you ask me, this is the best chronograph that Rolex ever created. While it is nicknamed the “Pre-Daytona,” I prefer it over any vintage Daytona. Regarding asking prices, expect them to start at €35K and increase to €200K for a steel version with a black dial or one of the gold models. It’s a lot of money, but that will get you a legendary watch.
Talk about legendary watches! Our last pick is the first-generation China replica Rolex Daytona ref. 6239 watches that followed the “Pre-Daytona” I just talked about. Rolex connoisseurs will know that multiple Daytona references feature dials without the Daytona name. But it only makes sense that we pick the first reference. If you mention the ref. 6239 to watch fans, most people will immediately think of the “Paul Newman” models. But before the Exotic dials came out, Rolex introduced the regular versions without the “Daytona” text. The reason is simple: the name came resulted from Rolex sponsoring the 24 Hours of the Daytona. However, that partnership only started after the introduction of the ref. 6239.
The watch featured a 37mm stainless steel case with a steel tachymeter bezel and pump-style pushers. Rolex introduced the watch with a black dial with silver sub-dials, a white dial with black sub-dials, and a silver dial with black sub-dials. Early versions of these, of course, lacked the “Daytona” text. To be perfectly honest, I always thought placing the model name above the register at 6 o’clock was not the best choice.
Proof of that came in the form of dials that have “Daytona” on the upper half, underneath “Cosmograph.” Dials without “Daytona” on them look super clean, and they nicely link the watch to the Pre-Daytona ref. 6238.
A legend for a reason
Inside the case, you will find the Valjoux caliber 722. This manual-winding column-wheel chronograph operated at 18,000vph and had 17 jewels and a 48-hour power reserve. As mentioned, it is a legendary movement found in many cult-classic fake Rolex watches for sale. But to a more general audience, it is the famous caliber that powered the manual-winding Daytonas.
The first-generation Daytona is one of the industry’s icons, and you will see that reflected in the prices. As you would expect, the non-Exotic-dial versions are more “affordable,” with asking prices ranging between roughly €50K and €125K. That price range will hold versions with and without “Daytona” on the dial. I prefer these or, even better, one with the “Daytona” text on the upper half of the dial.
Final thoughts on the list of top five Rolex “pre-icon” models
There you have it — our list of the top five Rolex replica watches shop that do not physically bear the famous names we know today. As always, this list could have been longer as multiple references do not feature the model names on their dials. Some more examples are the Daytona ref. 6264 and ref. 6265. Additionally, there is an interesting story behind the Rolex ref. 5500, which is known as an Air-King. However, that’s not where it ends because we also know there are versions with a 3-6-9 dial that are essentially smaller-sized Explorers.
When it comes to watches in space, we’re well-familiar with the Omega Speedmaster, which accompanied Buzz Aldrin as he stepped onto the Moon for the first time. Omega is the only watchmaker to pass all of NASA’s rigorous testing, earning the official designation of being “flight-qualified for all manned space missions.”
While NASA has approved the brand’s watches as their official timepieces ever since 1965, astronauts have worn their own personal watches in flight. You may recall Scott Carpenter’s custom-made Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute or William Pogue’s funky-looking Seiko 6139-6005. Well today, up for auction is another significant piece, not just because it’s perfect Rolex replica watches but because it’s the first from the watchmaker to be worn on a lunar mission
The Story
In production from 1959 to 1980, the UK AAA fake Rolex GMT-Master watches (particularly the ref. 1675) is the most popular Rolex model among space explorers despite never being officially sanctioned by NASA. Arguably the best pilot’s watch of its era, this second-gen reference has donned the wrists of astronauts Jack Swiger from Apollo 13 — when, rumor has it, he used the watch over his Speedmaster Professional to time critical engine burns of the ship — and Ronald Evans from Apollo 17 who gave it to his crewmates, who took it down to the lunar surface while he continued to orbit in the command module.
And then there was the Apollo 14 mission in 1971. Astronauts Edgar Mitchell and Stuart Roosa each wore high quality Rolex GMT-Master replica watches on their wrist. We know that Mitchell wore both the Rolex and his Speedmaster during the mission, both of which you can see in images of him suiting up pre-flight and inside the Kitty Hawk command module. While Mitchell did make it to the lunar surface, it hasn’t been confirmed that the Rolex itself was worn on the Moon.
The Watch
Stretching 40mm across, this particular Rolex GMT-Master from Apollo 14 has a stainless steel case housing the classic black dial with golden-brown hour markers underneath an acrylic crystal and surrounded by a Pepsi bezel with a 24-hour scale (developed by Rolex in collaboration with PanAm to aid airline pilots). Powered by an Oyster Perpetual automatic movement, the 1:1 wholesale Rolex copy watches is adorned by a Rolex Steelinox bracelet with a fliplock clasp.
The Swiss made replica Rolex watches is in fine condition with visible scuffs and scratches due to being worn. On the caseback, there’s an engraving that reads, “Worn by Cdr. E. Mitchell on Apollo 14, 1971, To Karlin—My Daughter.”
A Rare Find
Since Omega watches are officially commissioned by NASA, they’re kept in the possession of the U.S. government. However, since the top Rolex super clone watches was Mitchell’s personal piece, it’s legally allowed to be sold and owned by civilians…if they’re so lucky. Prior to this auction listing, the only other Apollo-flown Rolex to be sold publicly was Evans’ Apollo 17 watch back in 2009. In fact, the only other Apollo-flown watch to be sold, period, was the Bulova Chronograph worn by Dave Scott during the Apollo 15 mission.
Pricing & Availability
As the first Rolex ever to be worn on a lunar mission, Edgar Mitchell’s best UK Rolex GMT-Master fake watches is estimated to go for over $400,000. It’s accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity from Mitchell and a letter of authenticity from Mitchell’s daughter. The current bid is at $49,500, but expect this to increase before the sale ends on October 24. Head over to the RR Auction website to bid.
On February 5, 1971, the Lunar Module of Apollo 14 landed on the Moon with astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell on board. While Apollo astronauts were famously issued Omega Speedmaster Pros, Mitchell also decided to wear his perfect UK replica Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 watches during the mission. When Mitchell set foot on the Moon, he became just the sixth person to do so. Now, Mitchell’s GMT-Master is at auction, along with a few other watches from his personal collection.
After joining the U.S. Navy and accumulating over 5,000 hours of flight time, Edgar Mitchell was selected as part of NASA’s fifth cohort of astronauts. He was awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work on the Apollo 13 operations team; his most notable contribution was flying simulators to help the crew navigate the Lunar Module back to Earth.
Mitchell then became the pilot for the Lunar Module of Apollo 14, the eighth crewed mission of the Apollo program and the third to land on the Moon. After making their lunar landing, Mitchell and Shepard made two walks on the Moon’s surface. (Famously, Shepard even hit a couple of golf balls.)
While Apollo program astronauts received their official Omega Speedmaster to wear on the outside of their spacesuits, a few also wore private watches under their suits. Jack Swigert wore his GMT-Master on Apollo 13 – Rolex had this watch on display at Watches & Wonders 2023, so I assume it’s a part of Rolex’s collection. The only other space-flown Rolex that’s been sold publicly is Ron Evan’s top 1:1 fake Rolex Pepsi GMT-Master watches, which sold at Heritage Auction in 2009 for $131,450.
But Mitchell’s was probably the first Rolex on the Moon. The GMT-Master is at RR Auction, a well-known auction house in the world of space memorabilia – most recently, it’s also sold a bunch (here and here) of those gold Omega Speedmasters given to astronauts. Officially, the auction house calls Mitchell’s Rolex “one of two Apollo-flown Rolex watches.” But there are photos of Mitchell wearing the Swiss made Rolex copy watches before take-off, in the module, and right as he returns to Earth. It seems likely he would’ve had his GMT on during the duration of the flight.
The UK wholesale replica Rolex watches comes with a letter of authenticity signed by Mitchell, who died in 2016. It’s also engraved on the back: “Worn by CDR. E. Mitchell on Apollo 14, 1971. To Karlin [sic] – My Daughter.” RR Auction has placed an estimate of $400,000-plus on Mitchell’s GMT-Master, with the sale closing on October 25th.
I’d have to guess that a watch of such importance will attract the interest of Rolex as a bidder. It’s no secret the brand has scooped up a few of its historically important luxury Rolex fake watches at auction over the last few years. Last year, it bought Commander Warren’s GMT-Master ref. 6542 at Sotheby’s, one of the more expensive results we’ve seen for a vintage GMT-Master (Marlon Brando’s bezel-less GMT still sets the pace, having now sold twice).
I’d expect Mitchell’s GMT-Master 1675 to at least match RR Auctions’ estimate.
As for the watch itself, the serial number dates it to about 1970-71, meaning he bought it shortly before the Apollo 14 flight. The bracelet code dates to the end of 1970. Interestingly, it has a 9315 bracelet with Fliplock clasp, more commonly associated with AAA China replica Rolex‘s dive watches. The “Pepsi” bezel has aged to a deep color, with the red fading just a bit. The Mark 1 “Long E” dial is nicely preserved, with a warm aging to the lume. The luminous hands are slightly lighter, not uncommon, especially on these early matte dial examples. The case looks to be in excellent condition, with thick bevels and few scratches – the same goes for the folded Oyster bracelet. Especially with the engraving and corresponding letter, it’s almost like Mitchell knew exactly what this Rolex replica watches for sale would mean one day, and that it might represent a life-changing sum of money for his daughter.
There are a few other space-related watches in the sale: Dave Scott’s gold Apollo 11 Speedmaster, and a custom Bulova also from Ed Mitchell, among others. But Mitchell’s Swiss movements Rolex GMT-Master super clone watches is easily the most important.
Legends honoring legends. As Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe ended their seven-year tenure as Laver Cup captains, the milestone was marked with Roger Federer, on behalf of Rolex, presenting the legendary pair with engraved Swiss made Rolex replica watches.
The Laver Cup, founded in 2017, just held its seventh edition from September 20 to 23, with Team Europe narrowly defeating Team World via Spaniard Carlos Alacaraz’s decisive win over American Taylor Fritz (6-2, 7-5) in the tournament’s final match. Known to be the tennis equivalent to golf’s Ryder Cup, the Laver Cup is an annual international indoor hardcourt tournament that has six of the top European ATP players compete against six of the best from around the world. The teams are each led by a tennis legend captain, with the past seven years seeing Bjorn Borg lead Team Europe and John McEnroe lead Team World. But, perhaps the even bigger news than Team Europe’s victory this year was the revelation that Borg and McEnroe are stepping down as team captains – with Andre Aggasi to take over captain duties in 2025 for Team World and Yannick Noah to take the helm of Team Europe. However, they certainly did not walk away empty-handed.
Each received 1:1 online fake Rolex GMT-Master II watches with a commemorative engraving on its caseback, each engraved with Laver Cup text, followed by the team they were a captain of, and ending with the seven years they served as captains. Matching Borg’s blue captain’s jacket, he was presented with perfect copy Rolex GMT-Master II ‘Batman’ watches on an Oyster bracelet.
McEnroe, in a similar fashion, was gifted a ‘Pepsi’ to match his red captain’s jacket (although if top Swiss replica Rolex watches had given us a Coke bezel like Tudor this past Watches and Wonders, it would have been a better match). A fitting tribute for two of tennis’ fiercest competitors, once heated rivals and now great friends and forever connected through history and horology. And who better to receive the high quality UK Rolex fake watches from than Roger Federer himself?
This guide explains the Rolex Oyster bracelet, especially as it pertains to the Submariner dive watch. It will compliment our other guides on collecting your first best Rolex replica watches as well as on digging into the nitty-gritty of neo-vintage, vintage and pre-owned Rolex.
While collecting UK AAA Rolex fake watches like the Rolex GMT Master, the Daytona, Submariner and others will always be the main focus—and even though the prices on Rolex sport watches have been falling lately as pandemic collectors leave the scene—the “correct” or “incorrect” Oyster bracelet can make or break a specific Rolex acquisition. Condition is one thing: Those loose pins that hold the links together can cause the bracelet to sag and rattle, or even fall apart. However, for collectors it’s even more important that the Oyster bracelet historically matches the watch you’re collecting—that it is, as the Rollie-heads say, “correct for that reference.” If you’re going to collect Rolex, and especially the Submariner, it’s paramount to understand the Oyster bracelet for this reason.
While some might argue that the Jubilee bracelet is just as iconic than the Oyster bracelet, and the President bracelet more refined, none can deny the ubiquity of the Oyster design. Indeed, it’s been copied by more watch companies than perhaps any other bracelet, and the Oyster bracelet continues to be used on top 1:1 Rolex copy watches across the brand’s catalog. Seventy-plus years after its introduction, owning one is still considered a rite of passage amongst collectors.
Instantly recognizable for its three-piece links, robust construction, and flowing lines, the Oyster bracelet has been successfully paired with myriad Swiss made replica Rolex watches since its introduction in the 1940s—though we would argue that its best and most famous partnership has always been with the Submariner, Rolex’s flagship dive watch. Because while a Sub on a NATO strap, a rubber strap, or even on leather or a Jubilee bracelet is still a Sub, one paired with an Oyster bracelet is an icon.
“The Oyster bracelet is arguably one of the keys to Rolex’s success since the 1940s and 1950s,” says noted vintage watch dealer and expert Eric Wind. “It was integral with the birth of the Submariner, Explorer, GMT-Master, and Daytona. While it was originally a design by Gay Frères in the 1930s, it really found its calling with Rolex adopting it on those sport models in the 1950s and 1960s. It has evolved to go from thin rivet models to the solid, much heavier Oyster bracelets we know today.”
Without delving too far into the weeds of every minute change to the Oyster bracelet over the years (and there have been many of those), we’re going to examine those references that were specifically paired to the Submariner. This guide should up your Rolex collecting game considerably. Perhaps the next time you glance down at the cheap fake Rolex dive watches on your wrist, you’ll be inclined to pay this humble hunk of metal the respect it deserves.
A Brief History of the Oyster Bracelet
Initially, China 2024 Rolex super clone watches were sold on leather straps, with bracelets being an add-on accessory that could considerably raise the final price—in the 1930s, for example, customers could choose the Bonklip-style bracelet from Switzerland’s premier bracelet producer, Gay Frères. This Bonklip bracelet had lightweight steel links and straight end links. As Gay Frères was then an independent company, many other brands’ watches were also available on such bracelets. (Note that in 1998, when Rolex acquired Gay Frères in its entirety, the Oyster bracelet became an entirely in-house, Swiss-made product.)
Yet, as with many things Rolex, the Oyster bracelet didn’t emerge fully formed from the Earth’s womb on a single day to the fanfare of trumpets and the singing of angels. Rather, the Oyster bracelet evolved throughout the early part of the 20th century, taking the form of iterative configurations. This is where a collector needs to start paying close attention, as making sure you’ve got the right bracelet is as important as matching the paperwork and box to your collectible watch.
The Oyster Bracelet With Straight End-Links (1948-1951)
In 1945, Rolex replica watches UK for sale patented the Jubilee bracelet, which celebrated the maison’s 40th anniversary. Just a few years later, in 1947, it followed this up by patenting the Oyster, which made its first appearance in the Rolex catalog in 1948. A simple design consisting of three links—the center link being wider than the flanking pieces—it first featured straight end links. This made it easy to affix to a variety of watch models, but the overall effect was a less custom-seeming and form-fitting bracelet.
At first, it was chronographs and the famed “Bubblebacks” that received these Oyster bracelets. (The “Bubbleback,” so called due to its protruding caseback, was an early version of the waterproof, automatic, Swiss movements fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches.)
The Oyster Bracelet with Curved End Links (1952)
In 1952, however, the Crown introduced curved, form-fitting end links, marking a significant change that saw the Oyster bracelet produced in a variety of references for different watch models, including the Submariner, GMT-Master, and Explorer. At this time bracelets were sometimes made in the U.S.A. or Mexico for tax reasons, but since Rolex’s 1998 acquisition of Gay Frères Oyster bracelets are purportedly all Swiss-made.
First Generation Oyster Bracelets on the Submariner (1953-1966)
When viewed head-on, Oyster bracelets from the ‘50s through the modern era look rather similar—but turn one on its side, and the differences become more apparent. With the launch of the Rolex Submariner replica watches online site in 1953, two bracelets were offered that represent the earliest iterations of the now-famous accessory.
Oyster Bracelet 7206 Riveted “Flushfit”
The reference 7206 was a riveted model with “Flushfit” end links, in which each hollow link is held together with a visible rivet.
Oyster Bracelet 7206 Stretch-Rivet “Flushfit”
Another option was the 6636 “stretch-rivet” model (also with “Flushfit” end links), which has an ingenious, spring-loaded mechanism that allows each link to separate slightly from its neighbors. (The stretch-rivet bracelet, in production from roughly 1953-1966, had a tendency to catch hair in between the links and proved not to be terribly sturdy.) Both of these models featured a fold-over clasp with a large Rolex coronet.
Second Generation Oyster Bracelet with Folded Links (1967-Mid 1970s)
By roughly 1967, the reference 7836 “folded-link” Oyster bracelet joined the market, replacing the earlier rivet-style models. Rather than a hollow link held together with rivets, the folded-link consists of a piece of steel folded over on itself several times, which is inherently stronger than the rivet design.
Note that the reference 9315 from roughly 1969, introduced on the Sea-Dweller and Submariner, featured a special diver clasp, while the reference 9316, from the same time and also with a diver clasp, was seen only on the Swiss 1:1 copy Rolex Sea-Dweller watches.
Third Generation Oyster Bracelet with Solid Links (1972-2000)
In the mid-1970s—1972 by some collectors’ estimation, slightly later by others—the folded-link Oyster bracelets had been replaced by the first solid-link versions, which constitute the most robust (and still-used) of Rolex’s sport bracelet designs. Adding a zero to the previous generation reference numbers results in the reference 78360, which featured a folding clasp.
The reference 93150, which featured a diver clasp, shipped on the Submariner and was available as an option on the GMT-Master and Explorer, as well.
The reference 93160 likewise featured a diver clasp and was paired with the Sea-Dweller.
Fourth Generation Oyster Bracelet with Solid End Links (2000-2010)
Around the turn of the millennium, Rolex began outfitting its Oyster bracelets with solid end links, which made for a more solid attachment point to the watch head. While Rolex replica watches shop previously featured holes in the side of each lug through which a tool could be used to eject the spring bars and remove the bracelet, the brand did away with these holes around 2003-2004, which resulted in another change to the end link design.
End links, it should be noted, have their own numerical coding designation, allowing one to easily check whether a set is “correct” for a given bracelet or watch reference.
Fifth Generation Oyster Bracelet with Oysterlock and Glidelock (2010-present)
Today, the Oyster bracelet references available with the best quality Rolex Submariner replica watches are the 92700 (Submariner) and 97200/97203/97208/97209 (Submariner Date). What are the differences? The metal used in the bracelet, which is denoted by the last number in the code: Watches and matching bracelets are available in: Steel (Oystersteel), Everose gold and steel, yellow gold and steel, rose gold, platinum, yellow gold, and white gold.
The Oysterlock, which comes standard on the Submariner bracelet, uses a folding safety clasp, cover, and safety catch, while the Glidelock extension system allows the bracelet length to be extended in 2 mm intervals in order to fit over a wetsuit—or even a swollen wrist after a flight or a salty meal.
Rolex Submariner Oyster Bracelets and Specs at a Glance
With Watches and Wonders as well as the spring auction season behind us, the watch market is calm and steady. And, generally speaking, 2024 is turning out to be a relatively stable year for perfect UK Rolex replica watches. Prices are down, and supply is up—and that spells “buyer’s market.” This is especially true of pre-owned Rolex.
As collectors, the problem with market-wide predictions and recommendations—and even simple observations—is that individual brands, models and even specific references can be moving in directions at odds with the general market. In May this year I noted that pre-owned Cartier and Breitling had dropped in value during Q1, and yet the Cartier Panthère rose 19.51 percent, while the Breitling Navitimer went up 18 percent. So, when people ask if it’s a good time to buy a watch, I always answer, “Depends on which watch.” We offer this caveat for Rolex, as well, and will use data to home in on the good deals.
Despite a few notable anomalies (which you’ll find below), right now is an excellent time to buy vintage, neo-vintage and, especially, recent-model pre-owned AAA 2024 fake Rolex sports watches. Using Chrono 24’s ChronoPulse watch market index to gain better insight, we are seeing anecdotal remarks from across the wwatch world confirmed by data. Even in the past month alone (August of 2024), the prices have continued on a steady fall.
We spoke with Eric Wind of Wind Vintage to get his feel for the current Rolex market, and he told us that, “People don’t realize they can suddenly go buy modern top Rolex replica watches for less than it would cost at retail. There was all this hysteria, and so that surprises people. Especially Subs and Sea-Dwellers, those are way down.”
If you know which references to look for and how to assess condition, you can walk away with a Rolex Submariner, GMT-Master, Explorer II, or Oyster Perpetual 41 for far less than you would have just a couple years ago—in some cases, thousands less. And if you’re thinking of the purchase as an investment, you would do well to consider neo-vintage Rolex right now.
A fair warning from Eric Wind: “Even a very recent Rolex needs to be checked out before you go swimming with it. People assume that because it’s a modern Rolex, it’ll be waterproof, but you need to get it checked out.” His point is well taken, as rubber gaskets can wear out, and you can’t be sure whether the previous owner didn’t overwork the crown, or whether the best Rolex copy watches was recently serviced.
With warnings and caveats in place, let’s get into this buyer’s market.
Neo-Vintage and Current Model Subs
The five-digit 1:1 wholesale Rolex Submariner replica watches (1980-2000s) are very tasty in style due to the aluminum bezel inserts—and if they’re dated before 1984-ish, you’ll get matte dials with painted markers for full-on vintage vibes (post-1983 Subs feature gloss dials with white gold marker surrounds). To get a sense of where the five-digit Subs are headed, ChronoPulse reports that the Submariner reference 16610 (which is post-1984 with glossy dial, gold indices, and caliber 3135) is down by about 10 percent over the last 12 months, putting many examples well below $10,000. We’ve even seen a few decent examples below $8,000. You can expect to pay more for 16800s with matte dials, however, as they’re more “vintage.”
If you’re interested in the modern six-digit references with the Cerachom (ceramic) bezel inserts and updated movements, you’ll be pleased to learn that the cheap fake Rolex Submariner reference 124060 watches (the current no-date version released in 2020) is down by abour 5 percent percent over the past year, according to the ChronoPulse Index. If you want a date complication, the current reference 126610LN is down by four percent. This sets these desirable models right around retail prices (plus tax). This is a common benchmark for used pricing. The 126610 with date can cost right around $13,000 with box and papers as of this writing, and the 124060 no-date model can be had for just over $10,000.
Maybe scoring a sub at retail isn’t quite the great deal is seemed just a few years ago.
Surprisingly, the all-green “Hulk” reference 116610 of 2010—which was once downright scarce a few years ago—just shot down, as well. During the pandemic you’d be paying over $26,000 for a Hulk, but now they’re available for below $17,000. Shocking, really.
True Vintage Submariners
Though ChronoPulse doesn’t report data on the four-digit references (World War II to ~1979), we’d recommend looking at the revered 1680 Swiss movements Rolex Submariner replica watches with date, which Rolex produced with “SUBMARINER” written in either red text or white. The revered “Red Sub” always costs more. We’re seeing good looking 1680s with white text down around $14,000, while Red Subs closer to $20,000 and up. You can check out a recent edition of our weekly column Shopping Time for some excellent deals on vintage Subs.
A caveat: Vintage prices tend to operate on their own calculus, as trends (and thus supply), as well as condition, drive that market in less predictable ways. In short, you’ll see a very wide variation in pricing, though the trend is generally down.
The Five-Digit GMT-Master II Is Looking Reasonable (Again)
The coveted China top fake Rolex GMT-Master II models are also down, but the changes are less drastic than with the Subs. Discontinued models like the steel reference 126710LN “Pepsi” on Jubilee bracelet appears to be holdin steady, but five-digit reference 16710 Pepsi GMT-Master II models are down by over seven percent over past 12 months. This means you’ll pay under $10,000 for a nice GMT Master II. That’s way down, and given the rising prices of Rolex super clone watches for sale generally, not a horrible deal at all.
Condition of five-digit GMT-Master II references is especially influential on pricing. The fading of the bezel insert tends to send some collectors head-over-heals if it’s especially ghosted (sun bleached), while excessive case polishing (which was common in the five-digit era) will drive prices downward. All this to say, there’s a wide range of pricing for GMT-Master II references, but if you’re looking for a very cool watch to wear every day, a relatively clean one can be had under $10,000.
Explorer II Prices Falling
If there’s a collector’s Rolex, it is the 40 mm Swiss made replica Rolex Explorer II 16570 watches, especially with a “polar” (white) dial. These have always been the less desirable GMTs from Rolex, but they’re very popular with watch enthusiasts, partly because they were reasonably priced. As it turns out, the 40 mm 16570 with a black dial is down over the past year, but fluctuates a bit more than other models (likely due to recent journalism on the 16570, as well as growing demand for smaller watches). Meanwhile the six-digit 42 mm 226570 is also significantly in the same time period.
You can always expect to pay more for white dials than black ones with Explorer II references, but the prices are really down: Around $8000 for a black dial, and as little as $8500 for a white dial as of this writing. As always, condition, service history and box and papers will be important.
Big Datejusts Down, Little Datejusts Up
A 41 mm Rolex Datejust copy watches UK for sale used to be a really big deal to own, but tastes have decidedly changed toward smaller watches, and even toward small dress watches. We are fairly confident that these trends have driven prices for the 41 mm Datejust down a full 14 percent over the past year, which really is a stunning result. Meanwhile, the 36 mm Datejust is up by 55 over 12 months, and continues to spike. Who would have guessed this?
The Datejust’s impressive performance may also indicate the growing preference for dressier Rolex replica watches shop. Based on anecdotal reports from fellow collectors, that assessment feels right. (Note: ChronoPulse doesn’t offer data on the 36 mm Oyster Perpetuals.)
The Daytona, Milgauss, and More
I think the picture we’re painting, supported by data, is relatively clear: This is a Rolex buyer’s market, with some exceptions for specific models.
For example, steel best quality Rolex Daytona fake watches remain expensive overall (roughly double what you’d pay at retail for a Daytona), and yet the Rolex Daytona 116500LN from 2016 is down over 12 percent over since this time last year. Even the discontinued Milgauss 116400GV is down four percent in that time. Daytonas and discontinued models going down is a clear sign of the buyer’s market.
As with buying any pre-owned watch: Do your research, find a great example, and take note of whether you’re looking at an anomaly that shot up in price, or if you’re getting a good deal because that model’s price has fallen.

The latest perfect 1:1 Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II replica watches seduces travellers with subtle new colours.
Some watch designs are so iconic that even giving them a subdued colourway does nothing to diminish their presence. Such is the allure of the Swiss movements fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II watches, as the collection welcomes its latest edition in black and grey.
The 24-hour graduated two-colour Cerachrom bezel insert in grey and black ceramic will be familiar to those who remember last year’s references in 18 ct yellow gold and yellow Rolesor, but the 2024 high quality replica Rolex GMT-Master II watches is paired with an Oystersteel case and bracelet. The black lacquer dial bears the inscription “GMT-Master II” in green, echoing the colour of the triangle-tipped 24-hour hand – an element that features strongly in the model’s design. Yet, behind this stealthy update lies a rich and colourful history.
Beginning in 1955 as a response to a world opening up to international travel, the original AAA China Rolex GMT-Master copy watches was a stylish and functional tool designed to help everyone from airline pilots and ship captains to businessmen and members of the armed forces keep track of two time zones. Its design was not only distinctive, but also highly intuitive. While the standard hour, minute and second hand indicated local time, a triangle-tipped 24-hour hand pointed to a rotatable graduated bezel for reference time. Its bi-colour bezel wasn’t just for aesthetics but also served to distinguish day and night. The very first model used red to denote day and blue to signify night.
In just four years, the luxury UK Rolex GMT-Master replica watches‘ success led to it becoming the official watch of the most prominent American intercontinental airline at the time — Pan American World Airways, better known as Pan Am. Captain C. N. Warren proudly wore one on the airline’s first non-stop transatlantic flight from New York to Moscow, flying journalists to the USSR to report on then-Vice President Richard Nixon’s visit to the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War. This became the first stop on the GMT-Master’s long journey on the wrists of history-makers across the realms of aviation, space exploration and even Hollywood.
From pilot William J. Knight’s record-setting flight in the X-15 hypersonic flight research programme in 1967, where he attained speeds of Mach 6.7 while wearing a GMT-Master, to Captain Ronald Evans donning one during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972 — the final moon landing — the best super clone Rolex GMT-Master watches has always been a trusted companion. It has also been favoured by legendary aviators like Chuck Yeager and Sheila Scott, as well as celebrated actors such as Marlon Brando, Clint Eastwood and Tom Selleck, showcasing its enduring appeal across a diverse clientele.
The year 1982 marked a significant milestone in the watch’s evolution. By this point, the cheap replica Rolex GMT-Master watches UK had switched out its plexiglas bezel insert for an aluminium one, and a winding crown guard was added as an integral part of the middle case, but its biggest update came in the form of a new movement that allowed the hour hand to be adjusted in one-hour increments independently of the minute and GMT hands, and without stopping the watch. This optimised movement earned the watch its new name, the GMT-Master II, and the two co-existed until 2000.
With a reputation already firmly cemented as the ultimate explorer’s tool, the successor we’ve come to love and admire continued to improve, its changes driven by functionality and performance. In 2005, Rolex introduced its first ceramic bezel insert (now known as Cerachrom), which boasted incredible scratch- and corrosion-resistance and long-lasting colour vibrancy. Almost a decade of research and development later, a bi-colour bezel insert made from a single piece of ceramic was achieved. The complex process creates sharp and distinct colour delineations, resulting in vivid and durable two-tone bezels. The first model to show off this technology was fake Rolex GMT-Master II watches for men with a red and blue bezel in honour of its progenitor.
Not all improvements were simply cosmetic. Rolex’s in-house calibres continued to enjoy new innovations over the years, such as the introduction of the highly precise and reliable blue Parachrom hairspring, efficient and anti-magnetic Chronergy escapement, and high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers — all of which have earned patents. It is the calibre 3285 that has been powering the Swiss movements Rolex GMT-Master II copy watches since 2018, and as of last year has an optimised ball bearing in the oscillating weight for improved winding.
With the 2024 model, with one version presented in a Jubilee bracelet and another in an Oyster bracelet, the GMT-Master II family now houses 14 different configurations. And while material and chronometric technologies have advanced, the stories told by this traveller’s favourite will continue to reflect its legacy of connecting people across the world.
Tennis returns to New York for the final Grand Slam tournament of the year at Flushing Meadows this week. Known as the city that never sleeps, New York poses its unique challenge for players contending to end the year with a flourish.
The US Open embodies a similar energy and heightened intensity, which players must navigate if they are to succeed. Its main court, the Arthur Ashe Stadium is the largest tennis arena in the world. With a seating capacity of 23,700 – by far the largest in Grand Slam® tennis – the centrepiece arena is a veritable lion’s den during big matches with its ultra-charged atmosphere.
Headline matches are played in the evening in the sizzling ambience of a New York summer. This is what sets the US Open apart and players must feed on the exuberant energy in the stands and overcome their tumultuous surrounds.
Rolex replica watches for sale became Official Timekeeper of the US Open in 2018, recognizing the human endeavour and passion for tennis that the tournament has showcased over the decades.
Among those to have thrived in its heady environment are several best UK Rolex fake watches legends of the game. Chris Evert lifted the women’s singles trophy on six occasions, holding the title for four years from 1975–1978 and Roger Federer remains the only male player in the Open Era with high quality replica Rolex watches to have triumphed five consecutive times between 2004 and 2008. Swedish legend Stefan Edberg also secured rare back-to-back US Open titles overcoming challenging conditions in 1992, including winning an epic five-hour, 26-minute semi- final – still the longest match in US Open history.
The six-time Grand Slam® champion and a Rolex Testimonee, Edberg shares, “Winning the US Open was truly special on both occasions. The 1992 tournament was the most demanding fortnight of my life. Flushing Meadows is one of the best places in the world to watch tennis at night – it can be incredibly loud and noisy; there is a buzzing atmosphere, so it really tests your focus as a player.”
Highlighting its arduous nature, Federer adds, “I felt like if you could win in New York, you could win anywhere because of its unique conditions – the humidity, the wind, the hustle and bustle, and the intensity that it created.”
First held in 1881, the US Open is the final Grand Slam® tournament of the season, and the only one to have been played every year since its inception. In 2023, Coco Gauff rose to the challenge and joined fellow cheap 1:1 fake Rolex watches family members Pat Rafter, Dominic Thiem, Sloane Stephens and Carlos Alcaraz in becoming a first-time Grand Slam® champion at the US Open.
Gauff will return to Flushing Meadows this summer aiming to defend her title and join the esteemed players to have achieved successive victories.
Coco opines, “Winning the US Open was a crazy feeling – one that I had never felt before and I don’t think I will ever feel again. I had dreamt of winning a Grand Slam and the moment was even better than I could have ever imagined. I have been with top 2024 Rolex copy watches since I was 15, and for them to have believed in me from such a young age was incredible. To still be with them five years later is even more amazing – it really feels like I’m part of a family.”
