It is well known that the price of fake Rolex watches continues to rise each year. In addition to the cyclical price increases that exist for Rolex itself at the retail level, the average price on the pre-owned market has also seen a significant increase over the past few years as global demand has continued to grow, far outstripping the relatively constant supply. In addition, this trend has only accelerated over the past few years as demand for Rolex replica watches only seems to increase year over year. This dramatic price increase on the open market is due to the fact that these ultra-desirable new Rolex models are simply not available without spending a significant amount of time on the waiting list.
With that in mind, not all Rolex watches have reached stratospheric value levels (yet), and there are some inexpensive models that can still be purchased at surprisingly low prices. While almost all of Rolex’s sports watches no longer qualify as budget-friendly, there are still a number of iconic classics that can be added to your collection for a few thousand dollars.
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is the brand’s entry-level watch that adheres to a minimalist set of features while still having all the hallmark characteristics that define a true replica Rolex watch. The Oyster Perpetual made its debut in the early 1930s, and since then, this iconic model has remained in the Rolex catalog, evolving but never abandoning its simple and classic design.
The Reference 1002 is a vintage model in the Rolex Oyster Perpetual series. While there are certain models of the Ref. 1002 that are produced in precious metal configurations, the vast majority of Oyster Perpetual 1002 replica diamond watches you will encounter are made of stainless steel, and it is these steel models that have been among the cheapest Rolex watches available. Regardless of their material or year of production, all Rolex Oyster Perpetual ref. 1002 watches come with a sleek bezel, chronometer-certified movement, and a classic dial that defines timeless design.
The little brother of the Date just, the 34 mm Rolex Date represents a classic and highly versatile option that can be worn on almost any wrist. The Oyster case is equipped with a chronometer-certified movement with the automatic date change, so there are no compromises in the Rolex Date in terms of build quality, functionality, or performance.
The Reference 1501 is a vintage example of Rolex’s date collection, equipped with the brand’s discontinued engine-turned bezel, which can only be found on older 34mm Rolex watches. While there is some solid 14k gold Ref. 1501s, most were produced in stainless steel and you will find surviving examples of this watch equipped with a variety of different dial styles.
