1952 Online Replica Replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 6098 With “Waffle” Textured Dial
An entirely different waffle-textured dial than the new Land-Dweller, this Oyster Perpetual, made in either 1952 or 1953, is special in a few ways. Firstly, the reference. If you fire up Google and punch in “Rolex ref. 6098” you’re going to find some truly spectacular watches. I’m talking about half a million dollar star or “Galaxy” dials and “Pre-Explorer” examples worn by Sir Edmund Hillary and other early Everest explorers. In the 1950s, this was Rolex’s do everything, be anything 36mm best fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches —the brand used it for everything, both common and special.
While the high quality copy watches we have here probably sits more towards the common end of the 6098 spectrum, it is still special and far more accessible. The honeycomb or waffle-textured dial, which collectors tend to use the terms somewhat interchangeably, is clean and devoid of any luminous material. Which, in this case, is intentional rather than a condition flaw. Without lume in the hands, the dial has not been exposed to the radiation that would come with it, resulting in a very even patina throughout that matches the yellow gold case quite well.
Interestingly, the serial number of this cheap super clone watches, 917,XXX, sits within the same range as those incredibly rare and uber-expensive Galaxy dials I previously mentioned and linked out to. For under $20,000, you can own a watch that is not only great on its own but was made alongside one of the most collectible vintage 1:1 wholesale replica Rolex watches oddities.
