A friendly palette cleanser if you were appalled by the last pick, this 1960s Swiss made replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches are actually quite uncommon and hard to find in great condition. For vintage Rolex collectors, you tend to either lean towards the later matte dials for their iconic flat look or you are drawn into the “old school” manufacturing process of the glossy “gilt” dials of Stern Freres Creations. I’m the latter and, with that, I keep a keen eye on gilt perfect replica Rolex watches in the market. Finding a watch with one of these dials without “matteing” — where age makes the gloss finish fade to more of a matte look — or scratches from clumsy servicing is incredibly difficult.
Oyster Perpetuals like this ref. 1002 are the most accessible of all Rolex gilt dials. Datejusts tend to trade more towards $10k than they do $5k and when you move into the sports models, great gilt examples trend above $20k easily. But with the OP you get most of the dial charm, a slim Oyster case, and that classic vintage US best copy Rolex watches look without digging too far into your piggy bank.
The high quality fake watches condition here look to be solid. The dial appears nice and glossy in the sun and the case is strong. Fitted on a period-correct-at-least rivet Oyster bracelet, it’s a complete package. The source here is great, a seller who has handled more vintage cheap super clone Rolex watches than just about anyone. If this is your thing, it could be a while before you find another one.
