Last year Swiss replica Rolex UK introduced the new 36mm size for the Explorer 1, in two new references. With this, it went back to a more classical dimension, in which it was produced between 1953 and 2010. In terms of aesthetics, one is not to expect a revolution at Rolex, and neither was the case with the cheap fake Rolex Explorer 1. It became available in Oystersteel (Ref. 124270) and two-tone Rolesor (Ref. 124273).

The solid black lacquered dial of the luxury fake Omega is as classic as can be, with the familiar 3/6/9 numerals gracing the dial. With the update also came a new movement, the Calibre 3230, known from the Submariner no-date and Oyster Perpetual collection. This includes several of perfect replica Rolex outstanding technical developments like the Chronergy escapement and the Parachrom hairspring. The 1:1 fake Rolex Explorer 1 retails for EUR 6,100 in Oystersteel or EUR 10,300 in Rolesor. If you can get hold of one, that is.
