Datejust 1610 replica

More than 10 years ago, there was a discussion among watch enthusiasts, which roughly meant that if you were stranded on a desert island and could only wear one watch (from a well-known brand), which watch would you choose? Back then, most people’s answers pointed to the same famous brand, Rolex. If I were asked to answer this question today, I would still choose Rolex.

Versatile and well-balanced, Rolex is a true “all-rounder.” After more than 10 years of collecting watches, I can confidently say that Rolex is the “perfect” choice for a watch, but there are still some “downsides.” Today, I’m going to discuss the Rolex Datejust 126334.

If I had to name the greatest strength of Rolex today, I would say that Rolex is the best watch to wear, if not one of the best. Aside from the extreme focus on waterproof features in Rolex models like the Submariner, any Rolex is comfortable to wear. This comfort is not only reflected in the precise dimensions but also in many details.

The 126334 has a 41 mm case and features a five-link bracelet. The five-link bracelet has closely spaced links, 22 in total, which bend easily and fit the wrist comfortably. The current Rolex (men’s model) no longer has a hidden clasp but an Oyster clasp on all models. While the hidden clasp used to be very elegant and stylish, it is now only found on the Day-Date. There are advantages to replacing the Datejust with an Oyster clasp, as the Oyster clasp can be adjusted for a better fit, enhancing wearing comfort.

The Rolex clasp is definitely one of the best clasps in the luxury watch world. Some might argue that clasps from other well-known brands can also be adjusted, so why is Rolex considered the best? Look at the size of the Rolex clasp, the thickness of the metal, and the quality of the product. Many other famous watch brands do have features on their clasps, but the size, thickness, and quality are often lacking, which can make them feel cheap.
