Day-Date 128231 replica

Speaking of this year’s new Rolex, the first thing that comes to mind is the “left-handed” GMT-Master II, which is vividly called the “Sprite Circle” by its cousins because of the green and black combination of the outer ring. On the other hand, the new Air Master with the addition of a crown guard is also very popular, and it has upgraded its movement and appearance to enhance its sporty attributes, further bringing it closer to the professional Rolex watches.

In addition, the Flower Plate’s Women’s Datejust, 18-carat gold yacht, and platinum ice blue Day-Date have all gained a lot of exposure. However, among the new products, the presence of the new Ghost King Ref.136660 is very low; not only is there little discussion on the forum, but even the official channels have not written news materials for it. We also learned about it from the quietly updated detail page, and it can be said that it is one of the most low-key new products for Rolex this year.

Unlike the Airmaster’s iteration of the 31 series calibre to the 32 series calibre, the Ghost King Ref.126660, released in 2018, is actually equipped with the Cal.3235 calibre. The 2022 Ghost King has not changed the model of the movement and still uses the Cal.3235 movement, which is more based on fine-tuning of the appearance.

On the plus side, the most significant upgrade to the new Ghost King is the calendar window. It has a larger display area, allowing the wearer to read the date clearly. We know that Rolex uses a convex lens date window for both the Submariner and the Sea-Dweller, a design that originated from the Datejust and is now one of Rolex‘s signature elements.

However, among Rolex‘s many diver’s watches, the only reason why the Ghost King did not include a convex date window is that the convex date window is not monolithic but is made of two pieces of sapphire glass bonded together by a special process. The waterproof rating of the Ghost King is 3900 meters, and the pressure received during deep diving is several times that of ordinary diver’s watches, so in order to ensure stability, the upgrade of the date window is only to increase the display area, rather than using the convex lens window.

The second upgrade of the Ref.136660 is the bezel. The ceramic bezel of the new Ghost King has become more slender, which can enhance the sophistication of the watch to a certain extent. At the same time, the brand has also optimized the rotation mechanism of the outer ring, and the new product has a better turning feel. The crystal is also one of the upgrade points, with the addition of a reflective coating sapphire crystal that can effectively resist the refraction of strong light and make the reading clearer.
