What I got in return: A 1967 UK Cheap Fake Rolex Explorer 1016

On the surface it is such a simple and boring watch, and yet for watch enthusiasts this is part of the cheap fake Rolex Explorer 1016’s charm. It is very much an “if you know, you know” reference – someone who is not a watch geek would not know or understand its value. That being said, with the rise of digital watch media and, in part, former Hodinkee Manager of Editorial Operations Stephen Pulvirent shining a huge spotlight on it, the perfect fake Rolex Explorer 1016 has rocketed in market value over the years. Its association with Sir Edmund Hilary’s Everest expedition as the design successor to a one-of-a-kind Oyster Perpetual that, in some form, joined the journey, has been cemented in horological mythology. For me, the stronger claim to fame is that the luxury super clone Rolex Explorer is the watch author Ian Flemming envisioned his 007 character James Bond wearing. And the Explorer 1016 is the watch Flemming is most known for wearing himself.

The best 1:1 fake Rolex Explorer 1016 has one of the longest production runs for a model ever, first created in 1963 and discontinued 26 years later in 1989. Throughout its lifespan there were many evolutions, with a gilt to matte transition, font and logo variations, calibre upgrade, bracelet upgrades. The AAA quality replica Rolex Explorer 1016 I acquired from California-based vintage watch vendor Oliver & Clarke is dated to 1967, with its so-called “frog foot” dial confirming it was a Mk. 1 matte-dial model. It is by no means in perfect condition, the case was previously polished yet covered in the evidence it was well-loved. The case looks like an ice skating rink just before the Zamboni comes out. But I like that. It actually looks like a daily-wearer copy watch after 56 years.

While the case and bracelet have a worn look, the dial is immaculate and the dial is the star of the Swiss movement fake Rolex 1016 show. Lauded for its simplicity, legibility, and no-fuss Arabic numerals, the dial is what attracts collectors. There is not a single blemish to the matte black dial, no spots, blemishes, or previous signs of damage. Were one to wonder if it was too good to be true, as you look closer the patina reveals its genuine aging over the years. Perfectly imperfect, the indices and numerals have take on a bright creamy tone with the edges holding out and hints of crisp white peering through – like a colouring book image that’s 99% filled in. In modern faux-tina dials, the aged SuperLuminova® is presented too perfectly and uniformly with zero deviations on the entire surface. This is the real deal. As can happen, the hands are a tad darker than the indices and numerals – aged into a “cookie” tone.

Why I did it
Earlier I mentioned how my collection has evolved. And this was one of a few crucial factors in my decision. When I originally traded for the AAA fake Rolex Submariner 114060, I did not have any other dive watches. Today, I have both a Sinn U1 DS “Grinded Dial” Limited Edition and a DOXA SUB 300 Aqualung US Divers Limited Edition to cover that base. I also feel totally comfortable swimming with other watches I own outside the category, like my Grand Seiko “Snowflake” and “Shunbun”, my Zenith Defy Classic Skeleton “Night Surfer” Time+Tide Edition, and my cheap super clone Rolex Datejust 36 126234.

This leads me to my next crucial factor. Since the Swiss made fake Rolex Datejust 36 entered my collection last year, between the pair of Rolex super clone watches for sale I was reaching for the Datejust 36 nine times out of 10. Its size better suits my wrist, and its style is more my vibe as someone who often finds themselves suited up in the presence of watch industry executives. The three of my watches I arguably enjoy the most, and fit me the best, are all 36mm and below: my high quality replica Rolex Datejust 36, my 36mm A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Up/Down ref. 221.021, and my 31.4mm Cartier Santos Dumont Large Beige Lacquer/Rose Gold. And towards the close of the year, I began to realise that moving forward I do not want to compromise for larger sizes unless absolutely necessary.

The immaculate dial of this 1016 was also new ground for me to cover. I have long avoided vintage fake watches for sale due to the nuances of their authentication and wear experience. By no means does this top copy Rolex Explorer replace my Submariner in function. It will never take a dive beyond a desk drawer, and even then I will be cautious of knocking its acrylic crystal. After learning, however, that unlike the 14270 I once owned, I would not need to break off a permanent link to get a perfect fit, I realised this watch was a golden opportunity to finally tick a box in my collection I never had: a perfectly patinated vintage watch. I also already knew just how much I love the fit of a 36mm best quality replica Rolex from my Datejust, how it would make a great foil to it as well. The Datejust, with its jubilee bracelet and fluted bracelet, is rather bling and formal. The Rolex Explorer 1016, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. If the Datejust is the Rolex people spot all the way across the room, the wholesale fake Rolex Explorer 1016 is the Rolex that hides in plain sight. It is a very valuable watch, yet it is only valuable to those who actually know what it is. Which leads me to my next point…

Can You Handle The ULTIMATE UK Swiss Replica Rolex Quiz?

Do you think of yourself as a perfect fake Rolex connoisseur? Know all there is to know about the watches and history behind the Crown? If the answer to those questions is “yes”, then you’d better put that confidence to the test in our ultimate UK 1:1 replica Rolex quiz. Go on, show us what you’ve got!

What precious metal is a luxury super clone Rolex watch made from if its reference number ends in ‘6’?
AAA quality replica Rolex UK places a handy number at the end of each of its reference numbers to indicate what the watch is made from. So, if it ends in a ‘6’ it’s platinum, if it’s steel it’ll end in ‘0’ and if it’s an 18k yellow-gold number it’ll end in an ‘8’ and so on…

The Rolex Sea-Dweller was the first dive watch to incorporate what?
A function found on many dive watches, a helium escape valve allows trapped helium gas molecules to safely vacate a watch’s case in a safe and controlled manner. Swiss made replica Rolex introduced the first watch with a helium escape valve to the world via its top super clone Rolex Sea-Dweller, reference 1665, in 1967, making it a revolutionary timepiece.

The Rolex Explorer II, reference 1655, is known—erroneously, some say—for its association with which late Hollywood actor?
Most of us know of Steve McQueen’s affiliation with TAG Heuer’s Monaco, but what many don’t know is that although the cheap fake Rolex Explorer II was nicknamed “the Steve McQueen”, it’s likely the man himself never even owned one, as no photographic evidence of him wearing an Explorer exists. He did, however, own a Submariner, so there was at least one high quality replica Rolex UK in his repertoire.

Which watch industry legend designed Rolex’s King Midas model?
Best known as the man behind classic luxury steel sports watches such as the Royal Oak and the Nautilus, Gerald Genta also designed high quality replica Rolex’s King Midas, a fact that often gets forgotten. Well, we’re here to remind you that the legendary watch designer extended his hand to the oh-so-popular Crown, too.

Buyer’s Guide: The AAA UK Perfect Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16570 Fake Watches— Making Sense Of The Different Versions

The Rolex Explorer II is a bit of a fan favorite. This is especially true of the reference 16570, which is part of the popular five-digit generation of Rolex sports replica watches for sale. Many — including me — admire it for its honest, tool-like qualities. It is from a time before everything went maxi and shiny. But today, I do not intend to wax poetic about it. Today, I want to outline the different versions that exist. If you are considering the 16570, you have a couple of choices to make. Let’s have a closer look.

With the 16570’s production spanning 1989–2011, it is one of the longer-lasting references in Rolex history. Early models still feature some distinctly “vintage” characteristics. Later ones can feel thoroughly modern. Some variations are particularly collectible and valued accordingly. Across the board, however, it really is just a matter of taste. The subtle differences will speak to different people in different ways.

Polar or black

The first choice you face is pretty obvious: will you go “polar” (white) or black? The black dial comes with white gold hands and applied indices. The polar version does too, but they are enameled in black for legibility against the white dial. The white dial and blackened hands are more atypical for Rolex and quite striking. This has resulted in slightly higher monetary values for the polar high quality fake Rolex Explorer II watches in comparison to the black.

I think the black version is a little under-appreciated in that sense. What you lose in quirkiness, you gain in subdued versatility. If you want to get that one perfect 1:1 replica watches, I think the black 16570 might serve you better.

Either way, you cannot really go wrong. I would recommend trying to find a dealer that has both on display. More than you can see in any pictures online, the whole vibe of the watch changes with the dial color. In my case, I went to buy a polar and left with a black version upon handling them side by side. I took pictures of both, and I still prefer the polar in the pictures. In real life, I leaned more toward the black one. Consider yourself warned.

Tritium, LumiNova, or Super-LumiNova

As you may have guessed from the production run (1989–2011), the 16570 went through three different lume eras. The first generation featured tritium. As you likely know, tritium has the propensity to change color over time. You may find examples that have turned beige, yellow, or brownish. These are highly desirable in the eyes of collectors. The aged tritium adds warmth and character to an otherwise rather clinical aesthetic. Tritium dials are marked “SWISS – T < 25” below the index at 6 o’clock.

You may have come across the term “Chicchi di mais” while browsing 16570s. This is Italian for “corn kernels”, and it refers to particularly yellow tritium. You will pay a premium for examples like this as they are rare and considered highly collectible. Polar tritium dials have a glossier finish than later (Super-)LumiNova ones. They are sometimes referred to as “porcelain” dials for their resemblance to the material. The term has not really caught on yet as it has in the Datejust and Daytona universes. The black dial of the 16570 always remained glossy.

Rolex copy watches wholesale switched to the color-stable, non-fading, and non-radioactive LumiNova in 1998. Dials with LumiNova are marked “Swiss” below the index at 6 o’clock. These are the so-called “Swiss only” 16570s. Only a year later — in 1999 — LumiNova made way for Super-LumiNova. The dials would be marked “Swiss Made” from then on. Note that the “Super” denotes lume produced in Switzerland rather than Japan.

Lug holes and end links for your 16570

The next two things to consider are whether you want drilled lug holes and solid (male) or folded (female) end links on the bracelet. Both changes were phased in between 2000 and 2003, so there was no hard transition. Earlier Swiss made replica Rolex 16570 Explorer II watches came with drilled lug holes. Rolex abandoned these throughout its entire catalog between 2000 and 2003. Some people prefer the convenience and/or the sporty look of drilled lug holes. Others prefer the sleek look of later cases.

The solid end links on the Oyster bracelet radically change the feel of your 16570. They really make the watch feel much more modern and less rattly. At the same time, being male end links, they do add to the overall length of the cheap UK super clone watches. If you have a smaller wrist, the older female end links might provide you with a better fit. On my 17cm (6.7″) wrist, both work just fine. If you prefer a more vintage look and feel, the folded end links are the way to go. It is also good to know that pre-1998 Explorer II 16570 bracelets come without a flip-lock on the clasp.

Within the transition period, you may find a combination of solid end links and drilled lug holes. Note that those end links do not feature cutouts for a spring-bar tool. If such an end link is accidentally fitted to a non-drilled case, it cannot be removed without destroying the end link. The non-drilled case should always feature end links with little cutouts for your spring-bar tool.

No more shaky hands from 2007 onwards

Up until 2007, all versions of the 16570 were fitted with the Rolex caliber 3185. This is a rock-solid flyer (or “true”) GMT movement with one little quirk — a shaky GMT hand. When you set the time, you will see the GMT hand wobble a bit. This does not harm the luxury replica watches at all, but it looks a little odd. And so, of course, Rolex would remedy it sooner or later.

In 2007, the brand introduced the new caliber 3186 to the Explorer II. With it, Rolex fixed the wobble and added a Parachrom hairspring for boosted resistance to magnetism, temperature changes, and shocks. The caliber update would be accompanied by the use of a laser-etched rehaut around the dial.

Of course, this last generation of the 16570 always came with the non-drilled case and solid end links on the Oyster bracelet.

In short — 16570 evolution

1989–1997: Tritium, glossy dials marked “SWISS – T < 25”

1998–1999: LumiNova, matte white and glossy black dials marked “SWISS”, flip-lock clasp

1999–2011: Super-LumiNova, matte white and glossy black dials marked “SWISS MADE”

2000–2003: Transition away from drilled lug holes and transition from folded to solid end links

2007: Parachrom hairspring, no more wobbling GMT hand, laser-etched rehaut

2011: End of production, introduction of ref. 216570

Picking the right 16570 for you

A lot of the above comes down to personal preference. It might also depend on what watches you already own and what role the 16570 would play in your collection. As a “one-watch collection” for daily wear, a post-2005 black version might work best. As part of a collection of interesting best Rolex fake watches, an early “Chicchi di mais” example might hit the spot.

In all honesty, all 16570s make for great daily drivers. Earlier examples are still considered modern Swiss movements Rolex replica watches. And if you look after them, they will outlast you. In daily life, however, you may attribute value to functioning lume or a more solid-feeling bracelet. Again, that is a personal consideration. I opted for a black example from 2004.

I was looking for a more modern partner to my 1967 Datejust ref. 1601, so solid end links and Super-LumiNova were desirable to me. I dislike the look of the etched rehaut, so I had to look for a pre-2007 sample. With those boundaries set, the choice was easy. Of course, availability, affordability, condition, correctness, and set content all come into play, but that is beyond the scope of this article.
