The word “icon” is thrown around a lot by watch journalists (including yours truly) but if there was ever one watch that deserved just such a title, it’s the best fake Rolex Submariner.
Its truly timeless design is one that’s been copied by almost every other watchmaker on the planet, with the black ceramic bezel and dial combo — housed in stainless steel, with a matching bracelet — the literal archetype of dive top replica Rolex watches today.
The most recent high quality copy Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 126610LN was launched back in 2020, with an increased 41mm case size, slimmer lugs, wider bracelet, and an enlarged 70-hour power serve (thanks in part to the Chronergy escapement).
Many were initially sceptical of a larger case size, as the previous so-called “maxi-case” iteration was collectively understood to be less comfortable than its predecessor. However, following a couple of years in the market, enthusiasts have really come to embrace the newest iteration of the iconic cheap super clone Rolex Submariner.
