One of my most favorite watches is a Rainbow Daytona, now I wish I could tell you why I prefer this watch so much, but it’s very difficult to put obsession into words. However, sometimes words just aren’t enough. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but when I first saw the new fake Rolex Daytona in rose my hands began to shake, my palms began to sweat, and the prick of hot tears stung the back of my eyes. You know that it was love at first sight. To say I was alone in my reaction is an understatement, however, I was not supported by my colleagues, but it’s OK. This replica watch is amazing, I will tell you why.
Launched back in 2012 in both white and yellow gold, the Rolex Rainbow Daytona was made in VERY limited quantities, hit cult status very soon, and has almost tripled in value since then. The official name of this watch is not actually “Rainbow Daytona” – this is just what it has been so affectionately dubbed over the past six years.
The rose gold really brings out the colors on the bezel. I think there is something about that pink hue that really amplifies everything, making the rainbow bezel more vibrant – which, let’s get real, is really what this watch needed. The biggest change and the one that I am just completely obsessed with is the new set of hour indexes.
The best thing about this watch is that it is so replica Rolex. It’s your standard Daytona, a traditional chronograph, decked out in perfectly matched, hand-cut, hand-set sapphires sourced from special suppliers. But it’s not what is new about this watch that makes it so particular, but rather the overall impression of the watch itself.
On the wrist, this watch is every bit as magical as you could imagine. It wears like a Daytona (obviously) and looks like Liberace – and I couldn’t love it more. I picture wearing it with jeans and a t-shirt in the summertime, sipping rose on the beach somewhere fabulous. But everyone is permitted to have their own Rolex replica Daytona fantasies, so have at it.
As I said, this watch isn’t for everyone. Well, it’s not for most people! But I love it for exactly what it is: unadulterated luxury. This watch is charming, and isn’t that what watches should be all about? And before you go on to say I am obsessed with Rolex, I will tell you this – if Rolex is King, I am merely a humble subject.

Affordable Price of Replica Longines Master Collection
The Longines Master Collection was released in 2005, and it’s generally the modern counterpart to the company’s very valuable Heritage Collection: a large number of traditionally styled replica watches with many complications. The new annual calendar is a first for replica Longines, and it’s also a very affordable foray from the company into the world of more complex calendar complications.
It’s a big surprise anyway, an annual calendar from Longines stands for a new level of technical sophistication for the brand, and it’s the most affordable annual calendar on the market by a very respectable margin with a rather cheaper price. At launch, there will be some different variations available. Three will have a stamped “barleycorn” pattern dial – one is black with Roman numerals and the other two are white, with either Arabic numerals or diamond indexes. The other fake version will be a model with a sunray blue dial. Hands are either blued steel or rhodium plated.
We were greatly impressed by the simplicity and clarity of the design. The annual calendar display is straightforward: the month, and the day of the week are shown in two windows at 3:00, with no attempt made to do anything more than provide information clearly and straightforwardly. You could if you wanted, take exception to the rather diffident legend “Annual Calendar” at the bottom of the dial, but the fake watch is such a big achievement for Longines, I really don’t have it in me to complain.
The movement is Longines caliber L897.2, which is based on the ETA A31.L81. The L897.2 runs at a rather unusual frequency: 25,200 mph or 3.5 Hz. The annual calendar complication of course sits between a standard calendar and the perpetual calendar, and will correctly display the first of the month, after the last day of any month with either 30 or 31 days. Manual correction is necessary only once per year, at the end of February.
The annual calendar in wristwatches is a surprisingly recent development; they did not appear until Patek introduced this version, in 1996 and needless to say, that was not what you’d call a democratically priced wristwatch, and ironically, it actually had a higher parts count than Patek’s contemporary perpetual calendar movements.
With its stressing on classic design cues and proportions, together with such a cheap price, this ought to be a huge commercial hit for replica Rolex and of course, it injects an extra shot in the arm of the horological street, which has been a bit eclipsed lately by Longines’ very successful Heritage lineup.
