In recent days, AR factory has unveiled a series of replica Rolex Daytona watches crafted from genuine 904L stainless steel, solidifying their position as the best available in our market. However, these Daytona replicas suffer from a notable flaw – the non-functioning minute and hour chronograph. Despite the use of superior materials, they fall short for watch enthusiasts seeking a fully functional chronograph experience. Today, we will delve into an older model of the Rolex Daytona replica watch released last year by J12 factory. Although this watch is constructed from 316L stainless steel and features an Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, it offers exceptional accuracy and reliable functionality. When it comes to a chronograph watch, stability is a crucial factor. Presently, replica watches from esteemed factories like Noob, J12, BP, and ZF can achieve an astounding 99% resemblance to genuine watches in terms of appearance. However, the movement remains a significant challenge. To bridge this gap, these factories invest considerable time and effort into modifying the basic movement to closely resemble the genuine caliber. It is widely known that excessive modifications to the movement can impact its stability. Hence, in my opinion, the new Super Copy 3135 used in Rolex Submariner replicas and the clone 4130 in the latest ARF Daytona replicas may not be as exceptional as perceived. Conversely, this specific yellow gold Daytona model utilizes the time-tested Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, which has been proven accurate and stable over the years in various chronograph replica watches. As a result, this Daytona I am about to showcase is an exceedingly rare and truly remarkable timepiece.
This replica watch, made by the J12 factory, stands out with its superior case polishing compared to other factories’ Daytonas. The case has a diameter of 40mm and a thickness of 15mm, with smoothly polished corners and edges, ensuring a comfortable wearing experience. The bezel is in a yellow gold tone and is fixed in place. The three buttons on the right side of the watch are also in yellow gold and have the same design as the genuine Rolex Daytona. To ensure water resistance, the two chronograph buttons can be securely locked with screws when not in use. If you want to start the chronograph, simply loosen the screw on the button at 2:00 and press it.
The white dial features three operational subdials. The small dial located at 6 o’clock displays small seconds, while the subdial at 3 o’clock functions as a 30-minute chronograph counter. Additionally, the subdial at 9 o’clock serves as a 12-hour chronograph counter. Fortunately, all of these subdials are able to operate in the same manner as a genuine Rolex Daytona. The reliable Secs@6 Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement powers the watch.
The bracelet of this replica Rolex Daytona is crafted from durable and corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel. It features a thick coating of yellow gold on the central links, which will not fade over time. One of the main reasons to choose this particular replica Daytona over those from the AR factory is that it is available at a significantly lower price.
