When we think of a full-gold vintage UK perfect replica Rolex, most of us immediately envision a Day-Date. But would you ever consider a full-gold Datejust? We definitely would, but most people will associate the Datejust name with the stainless steel and two-tone models. Just as an aside, prices for stainless steel Datejusts have come down significantly, which makes now a great time to buy one. But if you want something a bit flashier and more special, consider this luxury fake Rolex Datejust ref. 16018. The ref. 160xx series was produced from 1977 until 1988 and introduced an updated movement compared to the previous four-digit Datejust references.
The new caliber 3035 introduced the quick-set date function, which is very practical. High quality copy Rolex did get rid of the pie-pan dials with this generation’s Datejust models, but what stayed was the 36mm case with the acrylic crystal, the characteristic Cyclops lens, and the tritium lume. A configuration of a yellow gold case with a matching gold Jubilee bracelet and a glossy dial is my absolute favorite.
A striking contrast between the dial and the case
The contrast between the black and the gold is stunning and gives the watch a ton of wrist presence. While the Day-Date may be the go-to gold top replica Rolex, the Datejust looks no less impressive in a full-gold outfit. Prices for the gold ref. 16018 start at roughly €8K for an example on a leather strap. If you want the bracelet, as I would undoubtedly choose, expect to see prices start at roughly €13K and move up to €25K for rarer variants.
While the same budget will also get you UK cheap super clone Rolex Day-Date ref. 18038, sometimes the odd choice is a good one. In this case, we would say that both are great options. If the day display is not important to you and you care more about the clean Datejust dial, the gold ref. 16018 could be the perfect choice. It’s one that some of us would certainly consider, which is why it is on our list.
