May the record show that the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time and the Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222 would be my first and second choices – Borna and D.C. have exceptional taste. However, my third choice would easily be a cheap fake Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ‘Le Mans’ (ref. 126529LN), because if you’re going to wait for a perfect replica Rolex Daytona, you may as well wait for the coolest and most unique modern Daytona.
Firstly, as a motorsports fan, the Daytona is a watch that’s always resonated with me. But AAA quality replica Rolex Daytonas are a dime a dozen. The Le Mans Daytona is a bit different, but it’s also a bit stealthy: being white gold, from afar it looks like a normal Daytona – but get up close and you’ll notice those ‘exotic dial’-inspired subdials and the red ‘100’ on the tachymeter bezel. It’s a bit of a subtle flex, which really appeals to me.
It’s also the only Swiss movement copy Rolex Daytona other than the platinum ref. 126506 to boast a transparent caseback, and I love a transparent caseback. Frankly, it’s a crime that high quality replica Rolex don’t show off their movements more, something I’m happy they’ve rectified with recent releases like the Perpetual 1908. More importantly, it’s also got a unique movement, the calibre 4132, which allows the hours of the Le Mans Daytona’s chronograph function to be counted over twenty-four hours instead of the Daytona’s usual twelve – another tasteful nod to the iconic endurance race. Again, if you’re going to get a Rolex Daytona super clone for sale, may as well get the most unique one…
