Not long after the release of the ref. 6543, the illustrious perfect replica Rolex Milgauss ref. 6541 replaced it. This is where we see the Milgauss come into its own. What stayed were the 38mm case and the honeycomb dial. But Rolex replaced the seconds hand with the now-famous lightning-bolt-shaped hand. Additionally, this reference had a new bezel insert consisting of six divisions and a large red triangle matching the red Milgauss name on the dial.
According to a best fake Rolex ad, the new bezel insert “serves as a simple stopwatch or for timing different operations.” Apart from its functional purpose, it also gave the watch its unique character.
The story is rather confusing when it comes to movements. high quality copy Rolex used caliber 1066M to power the ref. 6541. It was based on the regular caliber 1066 and used parts made of antimagnetic materials, which included the mainspring. Later, the brand started using caliber 1065M, also known as caliber 1080, which was specially made for the Milgauss.
When the Milgauss switched to fixed bezels
Cheap super clone Rolex also updated the construction of the antimagnetic inner case. The new Faraday cage still had the iron ring around the movement but featured an additional inner case back on top of the regular one. Whereas the first reference had a thicker case back, this new model used a regular case back thanks to the new construction. During the later stages of the production run, online replica Rolex also produced versions of the ref. 6541 with a fixed polished stainless steel bezel rather than the rotating bezel.
These models were supposedly made for the American market. Compared to versions with the rotating bezel, though, they weren’t quite as distinct. In addition to the intended purposes mentioned in the ad, the rotating bezel certainly gave the luxury replica Rolex Milgauss ref. 6541 a lot of character.
Quite simply, I love the quirky style of the 6541, which hints at the purpose for which it was created. As I explained in an article about the IWC Ingenieur, I have a soft spot for engineer’s watches because my father was an engineer. For me, the Swiss made fake Rolex Milgauss ref. 6541 perfectly epitomizes an engineer’s watch.
