The first water-resistant case made by fake Rolex was the “Oyster”. Perpetual refers to the permanently wound rotor inside each Rolex watch. That’s why you never see the word “Automatic” on the dial – it’s just redundant. They are the words printed on almost all Rolex dials.” Oyster Perpetual Motion.” These two seemingly insignificant letter combinations are not only historically significant, but they also subtly encapsulate everything that has made a replica Rolex a watchmaking powerhouse.
To get to that point, we had to lose a few watches along the way – good watches that left everything on the field. I’m talking, of course, about the much-loved Rolex OP39, a watch that is considered near-perfect. It is an exemplary example of the Rolex ideal. It has competence and timelessness that is at odds with its simplicity. We have owned it for just two short years, only to see it flash by as if struck by Thanos’ armor.
Within each side of the replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual collection, there are noteworthy nuances. the 36mm and 41mm variants are practically mirror images of each other, only in different sizes, with painted squares next to each hour marker. The OP 34 has Roman numerals on the dial – a feature unique to this size.
A key difference between the 36/41mm model and the others is the style of the markers themselves. The former has a marker set known as the double-barrel style, where the markers at three, six, and nine o’clock are presented in a double-barrel style. This is a divisive topic for OP devotees. Fans of OP 39 lament this choice for OP 41.
All OP models, regardless of size, have a common dial feature. For years, Rolex has made its blue-chip watches in a luminescent blue material called Chromalight, while continuing to produce its OP line in green Super-LumiNova. In this update, you’ll notice that the familiar blue glow has appeared on the dials of all five size options – and it’s about time.
Here’s where things can get confusing. At the most basic level, the OP comes in two main dial colors: black and silver with gold accents. Black dials are a known quantity, but silver is something really new. Check out the interaction of the sunburst silver face with the surrounding gold accents and the copy Rolex crown. The effect gives this watch a bit of a sporty and a bit of a dressy feel. In many ways, this dial configuration is the most OP as it feels like a throwback.
After black and silver, a plethora of colors enters the fray. Picking a color is like configuring a new car online. Each trim level has certain paint colors to choose from. Some overlap, others don’t. As each size changes, you’ll find slight variations in the available color options. To keep it all together, you can split the colors into two different buckets.

Technically speaking, every watch produced by Rolex is an Oyster Perpetual. The name comes from the water-resistant “Oyster” case, which makes each watch water-resistant to at least 100 meters, and the self-winding “Perpetual” movement developed by the brand in the early 1930s. As a result, the model we commonly refer to as the “Sea-Dweller” is actually officially known as the “Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller” – and this is true for the vast majority of Rolex self-winding watches with water-resistant cases.
However, there has always been a separate line of replica watches where everything extraneous is stripped away, leaving only three hands to tell the time, not even something as inconspicuous as a date display. This is officially the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, which is the brand’s cheapest and arguably most versatile offering. While the Oyster Perpetual represents the entry point to Rolex ownership, the model has become almost inaccessible at the retail level (like most stainless steel Rolex watches) after the series was updated in 2020.
While not on the scale of the Datejust or President, the fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual has been issued in a fairly wide selection of dial colors throughout its history. Moreover, along with the latest update for 2020, the bright and vibrant dial colors are the only reason the collection has seen such a big pop in the past few years. While there is some overlap throughout the collection, there are some that are dedicated to certain sizes.
There are a few that have become real favorites, especially the bright and colorful choices reminiscent of the vintage Stella dials found on the old Datejust and Day-Date watches. Turquoise blue and yellow are the most popular colors, with green and coral red following close behind. Like most of Rolex’s stainless steel watches, the current Oyster Perpetual collection is completely sold out at retailers, and select dial colors on the 36mm and 41mm models are selling for several times the original new retail price on the pre-owned market.
The result is a collection of watches that can be worn as both formal and casual wear, depending largely on the dial color chosen. If you choose a brightly colored dial, you’re at the sporty end of the spectrum, while softer tones will make your watch look more decent.
So, who exactly is the replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual for? While the brand is by far the most famous watchmaker in the world and has created some of the most collectible timepieces, many Rolex buyers are still people who just want a nice watch that they can wear every day for the rest of their lives. It has to be realistically priced, functional enough to go with anything, strong enough to be worn every day, and reliable enough to last several lifetimes.

From 2020, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner without a date is considered by many to be the most typical dive watch, with a slightly larger size and an updated movement, but still keeping the original design. This is our first encounter with this new watch.
We’ve waited a long time for Rolex’s latest innovation for 2020. Rolex launched the new generation of Oyster Perpetual Submariner and Submariner Date replica watches in September. These watches are slightly larger and now come with new movements – the Submariner is equipped with the recently released caliber 3230, while the new Submariner Date Edition comes with the caliber 3235 for the first time. The Submariner Date Edition comes in a surprising array of color combinations, while the Submariner Edition without a date display keeps its original design. We were able to preview the new Submariner shortly after it was released.
If you think Rolex’s innovation means a revolution, you’re wrong. However, the Submariner has been modified and the sum of its various details has been formed into a new watch. The diameter of the watch has been increased from 40 mm to 41 mm, or more precisely, from 40.6 mm to 41.36 mm, measured diagonally from 2 to 8 o’clock. The crown guards and lugs are thinner, but this increases the width of the lugs by a full millimeter, to 21 mm.
These seemingly minor upgrades change the proportions of the entire watch – including the case body, bezel, dial, and strap. This means you’re looking at an entirely new model. Thanks to extensive modifications to the tiniest details, the new Submariner looks more than a millimeter larger than the old model. Less obvious is the new in-house self-winding movement, caliber 3230, because, like any replica Rolex watch, it is covered by a finely slotted caseback that is screwed down airtight with a special key and can only be opened by an authorized Rolex watchmaker. The difference with the 3235 calibers is that the Submariner does not have a date display on the dial.
The Submariner line comes from an era when dive watches were used more for professional applications than for recreational diving. For this reason, they remain true to their original appeal today – as clearly reading the time during a dive is a matter of life and death. The eye-catching dot at the end of the second-hand serves as a functional check and is also luminous. In addition, the zero markers on the diving bezel are filled with the same luminescent material to provide better orientation when setting the dive time.

Entry-level is an interesting term when it comes to luxury goods. For example, an “entry-level” car like a Honda, Toyota, or Nissan is very different from an “entry-level” Porsche. The two share similar titles but are worlds apart. Therefore, when discussing the “entry-level” Rolex Oyster Perpetual, I feel that the term is psychologically detrimental to the watch. After all, what is an entry-level Rolex? A Rolex. It is the most widely known luxury watchmaker in the world. During my time with this replica watch, I tried to completely erase the “basic model” designation from my mind. This is a Rolex.
Most people in the world of watch enthusiasts forget that Rolex built a reputation for its tool watches in the early days. Models like the Datejust are certainly important to their history. However, for the past 70 years, Replica Rolex has been the watch of choice for divers, adventurers, and car enthusiasts who have accomplished great feats. It wasn’t until the introduction of the solid gold Yacht-Master in the 1990s that Rolex intentionally transitioned to making status symbols. I think this Oyster Perpetual 39mm is a great modern interpretation of those tool watch roots.
Design:
This watch is the essence of what makes Rolex so great. The crisp Oyster strap is attached to a sturdy and refined steel case. This watch features a stunning rhodium dial that creates a sunburst effect in the right light. The dial is edged with light blue markers that add a happy pop of color. This watch is a three-hand watch. It has only one pre-owned complication and is the most original fake Rolex currently makes. A smooth polished bezel frames the dial, adding a layer of texture and depth to the case.
Rolex offers the Oyster Perpetual in 26mm, 31mm, 34mm, 36mm, and 39mm. This provides enough range to fit anyone’s wrist. Rolex describes the watch as “the purest Oyster” and that couldn’t be more accurate. It comes in a couple of different movements, the one I’m wearing features the Rolex 3132 self-winding mechanical movement. It contains 31 jewels and has a power reserve of about 48 hours.
The Oyster Perpetual belongs to an interesting category. Because it is so refined, it offers much more versatility than watches like the Submariner or Datejust. Its case measures 39mm and is only 11mm thick, and because it doesn’t have a diving bezel, it is much more elegant to wear than a non-date dive watch. I would say that it does wear small compared to a 40mm watch, but only slightly. This watch really shines in a more casual setting. It helps dress up casual t-shirts and jeans. I equate it to a perfect pair of white sneakers, but on your wrist.
The polished accents on this case also make it easy to match the watch to your favorite “finance guy” Patagonia tank top and crisp white button-down. I think the reduced size makes the Oyster Perpetual a little more understated – not talking too loudly, but simply finishing.
I can say that I don’t care about the brand. However, this is an amazing way to say, “Yes, it’s a Rolex” for less than $7,000. The Oyster Perpetual is enough to reward yourself with a replica Rolex while not making your boss question your salary. It’s similar to the Porsche Boxster. there are many options, such as the vintage Datejust, at a much lower price. However, the Oyster Perpetual is really the best way to get a modern product from the brand. From an Apple perspective, I find this dial more interesting than the Explorer’s (I know that’s profanity). There’s something relaxed and cheerful about the use of color. It shows that the Swiss still know how to have a little fun. If you’re looking for the modern reliability of a Rolex paired with a more conservative design language, then you might want to check out this “entry-level” watch.
