What Rare Rolex Fake Watches Have Been Underestimated?

At the beginning of 2024, Rolex quietly adjusted the prices of some of its watches. After learning this news, I realized the hesitant “wait and see” party was the most painful thing. When you still naively think that “the world watch market will continue to be sluggish, and one day it will drop in price!” those extraordinary, rare, and unique goods are becoming increasingly challenging to get with time. Among them, Rolex’s unique stone dial is the most special one.

Rolex’s stone dial is a hot topic among Rolex players. It is not strictly considered a “jewelry gem” because most are because of the need to stabilize the stone and the micro-gap between the rocks in watchmaking, which involves glue injection and curing.

However, the meaning of Rolex is never the preciousness of the material but the fun of appreciation. This is the most significant meaning of playing with watches: pleasing to the eye and pleasing yourself!

Today, let’s take stock of the Rolex stone dials often ignored and misunderstood by watch friends! Let us take you on a journey through the sea of ​​stones!

Fossils

Have you seen a Rolex with a fossil dial? Many watch friends ignore the Day-Date with a fossil dial. This type of fossil dial appeared briefly in the Rolex fake product line in the 1990s and is scarce. The Day-Date with a fossil dial is also nicknamed “Jurassic Park” by watch friends.

This type of fossil dial is mainly based on ammonite fossils and is primarily divided into two categories: one is a mini ammonite dial, which is intensively feared.

The second category is the ammonite slice fossil. Ammonites are called the most beautiful fossils. Due to their different types, the patterns on the shell are varied and beautiful. Sliced ​​fossils can also peek into the beautiful patterns inside the ammonite. Sliced fossils are mainly presented in slices of slightly more giant ammonites, remarkably similar to the feeling of Qingshui Yunlong rice paper. It is also the most beautiful fossil dial, in my opinion.

The Day-Date with fossil dial is often matched with a diamond scale.

Chrysoprase

The four beauties are the most popular among Rolex fans. Many people think this green Daytona is turquoise, but they are wrong. It is chrysoprase.

The refreshing emerald green of chrysoprase reminds people of jade, so people love it. Some are bean green, and some are blue chrysoprase. They even taste Tiffany blue, not to mention a bit of turquoise; the main thing is moisture!

Chalcedony is not jade; jade and chalcedony are not the same substances. The main component of chalcedony is chalcedony silicon dioxide crystal, which is colorless. If it contains copper, it is blue chalcedony; if it contains nickel, it is green chalcedony. In human language, it is quartz!

Blue jade

What? Is there blue jade? Of course, jade is hard jade, and many colors exist. It is just famous for green jade.

The blue jade dial was only briefly rare among female Rolexes. Blue jade contains iron and titanium coloring elements, so it appears blue. The jade used by Rolex contains many obvious floccules, which are very similar to the texture of blue coral.

With the popularity of Tiffany Blue, this type of blue jade is sought after by many women’s watches for its unique color. Hublot replica.

Lavender Jade

Lavender jade, also called purple jade, is presented in the roulette design language of modern Day-Date, just like the lavender fields in the Netherlands.

The most famous place of origin is Bursa, Turkey, also called Turkish jade; some call it clove jade.

Sugi Stone

Rolex once provided a particular female date for the Japanese market, featuring the SUGI Sugi Stone dial!

Sugi Stone (English: Sugilite or Lavulite), also known as Sugi Stone, is also translated as Sugi Stone. It is a rare pink and purple silicate mineral.

So why is Sugi Stone unique in the Japanese market? Sugiishi comes from the name of its discoverer, Japanese Kenichi Sugi. It’s the most “friendly” choice for the Japanese market!

Opal

This colorful and ever-changing gemstone is now the famous opal. This kind of bright opal is also called Precious opal. Opal is actually what we call black opal. Most of the opals used by Rolex come from Jundah, Australia.

Opal is a gel-like or liquid silica that is deposited and solidified into an amorphous, non-crystalline gemstone mineral in the cracks and caves of the strata. It also contains animal and plant residues like trees, shells, and bones. Opal is most afraid of losing water, which will cause the stone to become dull.

White vein stone

The white texture and black veins make many people think it is marble, but it is white vein stone!

White stone has long been used as jewelry. The American Indians also called it a sacred stone. It has been given many beautiful meanings in history.

The white stone is white turquoise, which is a magnesite crystal. Friends who play turquoise should be familiar with it.

Azurite

When it comes to blue gemstone dials, most people will think of nautilus and lapis lazuli but ignore the rare blue topaz! Azurite is blue topaz, also known as azurite. As the name suggests, it is a soft, dark blue copper-containing mineral formed by the weathering of copper deposits.

Azurite was once a famous blue pigment, and many world-renowned paintings have it. However, its softness and tendency to lose its dark blue color with weathering make it less valuable. Heating can quickly destroy azurite, so all azurite samples must be inlaid at room temperature.

Because the processing is a bit troublesome, Rolex does not use it on a large scale, and it is only used on the small-diameter dials of some Cellini women’s watches.

Hematite quartz

The hematite quartz used by Rolex mainly comes from the German region. Eisenkiesel, translated as “iron pebble,” is a symbiotic mineral of quartz and hematite, primarily yellow, red, or brown.

Rolex used this dark brown decorative gem for the first time in 2021. Hematite quartz is veined quartz with iron oxides. The stones used to make the gemstone’s surface are cut from the raw material. This type of quartz is easy to crack and often needs to be fixed with glue.

It has a different flavor because it is mainly presented in rust and brown tones with rose gold. It evokes a feeling of volcanic eruption, and this type of Rolex is often called “molten chocolate.”

The love of gemstones in Chinese society is engraved in DNA, and people give all kinds of gemstones beautiful meanings. Naturally, this type of gemstone dial has attracted the public’s love for it, which has remained strong.

Rolex’s stone dials went from being very popular in the 1980s to gradually becoming low-key after the millennium. With Rolex’s renewed emphasis on unique materials, especially stone dials, at this year’s watch exhibition, there will surely be more exciting stones appearing before us in the future, and they will surely be “crazy stones.”
