The new Rolex Datejust II 116334 made its debut at Baselworld 2009, but the world wasn’t quite ready for the leap from a 36mm to a 41mm case diameter. Fans were not enthusiastic about this major change. They had fallen in love with everything about the replica Rolex Datejust, and they weren’t happy with the upgrade. It was only after a period of time and extensive marketing efforts that Rolex enthusiasts began to embrace the new version and its benefits.
If you know anything about Rolex watches, then you probably already know that the Datejust is one of the longest production models in the Rolex catalog. Originally introduced in 1945, this watch has had a successful evolution in aesthetics and functionality for over seventy years. The final step in its ongoing upgrade was to enlarge the case to make it a more modern dress watch, thus making it more appealing to a contemporary generation that values trends and style.
Today, the replica Rolex Datejust II is as beloved as the classic design. Although the case is larger and bolder due to its delicate construction, it does not feel heavy on the wrist. The undoubted advantages of the enhanced 41 mm case are the wider dial and the higher readability. To appeal to a wider audience, the dial is available in a large selection of colors, hour markers, and hands.
The dial also looks very accurate. I really like the wide luminous hour markers and the large Rolex crown logo at 12 o’clock. The design of the dial enhances readability in all light conditions. The silver hands are coated with luminescent material and are the same shape and size as the genuine article. The cottage version is also equipped with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a 2.5x magnifying glass above the date.
The fake Rolex Datejust II is a very popular choice in the market thanks to its sporty vibe and smart design. It is the ideal timepiece for the modern man who appreciates a classic design reinterpreted in an attractive and modern way. Overall, I’m quite happy with my copy. It looks and feels very authentic, and with the automatic movement it comes with, it has proven to be quite reliable. The only thing wrong with it is the strap, which is the wrong style, but I have ordered the correct Oyster strap, so this minor flaw will soon be corrected and I will happily wear my Datejust II 116334 replica as often as possible.
