The Datejust is a quintessential Rolex timepiece, and it should definitely be on your wishlist when considering dress watches. This collection offers a variety of models in different styles to cater to diverse preferences. Numerous factories in the market produce replica watches of the Datejust, with BP factory boasting a comprehensive selection of models. If you can’t find your desired Rolex Datejust at GM, AR, or Noob factories, BP is a reliable option. If you’re curious about which factory creates the best Datejust replicas, my recommendation is Noob. However, keep in mind that Noob typically takes a long time to restock their Datejust replicas, as their primary focus is on other Rolex models like the Submariner and GMT-Master. Currently, GM factory has an extensive range of 36mm Datejust models, while I believe that the best quality Datejust II replicas are produced by AR factory, which also has many popular models readily available.
The two golden models pictured below were recently released by AR factory just a few days ago. If you’re looking for a gift for your father for the upcoming Christmas or next year’s Father’s Day, I believe a golden Rolex Datejust would be an excellent option.
The two golden Datejust II models from AR factory represent a remarkable blend of top-notch finishing and exceptional stability. Firstly, the finish on the case and bracelet is superior to that of any other factory; I believe that AR factory excels in this aspect. The two-tone Datejust watches feature a 41mm case diameter, showcasing a combination of polished and brushed finishes, and are crafted from 904L stainless steel. Currently, three factories utilize 904L stainless steel for their Datejust II replicas: Noob, ARF, and GMF. However, Noob’s Datejust II replicas are mostly out of stock. When comparing the Datejust II replicas from ARF and GMF, I find that the ARF Datejust is significantly better.
The two Datejust II models share the same gold tone color, but each features a distinct decoration. One dial is equipped with index hour markers that have a white luminescent coating, while the other dial showcases diamond hour markers without any luminescent material. Personally, I definitely prefer the dial with the index hour markers. The date window offers a deep view, with the inner beveled edge accurately crafted by AR factory, and the date font is perfectly centered.
Regarding the bracelet, it features a jubilee style in two-tone that perfectly complements the color of the case. Made from 904L stainless steel, this five-link bracelet gained popularity on Datejust and GMT-Master II models in 2019. The middle links are polished, while the outer links are brushed. This design does not compromise comfort while wearing the bracelet, as AR factory has meticulously focused on finishing every corner and edge to ensure maximum wearing comfort.
The movement in these watches is an Asia ETA 2824-2 automatic, known for its reliability. I previously opened the case back and noticed that AR factory has added some decorative touches to the rotor, which is skeletonized and features a golden replica Rolex crown logo engraved on it. Currently, no factories have equipped their Datejust II replicas with a replica Rolex movement. If you’re searching for a piece that includes a clone 3235 movement with a finish comparable to that of ARF, I must inform you that such a replica does not exist.
Conclusion
AR factory produces this replica with high quality, and naturally, the price is significantly higher than those made by other factories. However, if you’re looking for a Datejust II watch for your father that will last over five years and provide accurate timekeeping every day, investing in one from a reputable factory like this is essential.
