In 2023 Rolex quietly updated its flagship chronograph with the type of tiny changes that only a die-hard aficionado could fully appreciate. Some updates include thinner rings around the chronograph subdials and smaller hour markers. As we’ve come to find out over the years, Lionel Messi is one of these obsessive watch collectors: The Inter Miami CF captain has been spotted in a rose gold Yacht-Master, a yellow-dial Oyster Perpetual, a gem-set Submariner, and more. But it doesn’t matter how loaded your collection is—it’s still not finished until you add the iconic Swiss AAA Rolex Daytona replica watches.
Launched in 2023 on the 60th anniversary of the model’s birth back in 1963, Messi’s high quality fake Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 126500LN watches is the modern steel Daytona. In addition to the aesthetic changes, this watch was the first to use of the brand’s cal. 4131 automatic movement with Chronergy escapement.
The changes made to the Daytona are typical of how Rolex likes to tinker with its stable of iconic pieces. For the Daytona, these adjustments add up to a more refined version of one of the world’s most important sport best UK Rolex copy watches. Add in—subtract, rather—a roughly 0.5mm reduction in case thickness, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for one heck of an everyday watch. Naysayers will decry the Daytona’s general unavailability at retail, but this is now part of the equation when considering new replica Rolex watches for sale from Rolex: Everybody and their mother (and their toddlers) wants one, and even at production numbers said to exceed a million pieces per year, there simply aren’t enough of them to go around.
Unless, of course, you’re one of the best soccer players in history. We can only assume Messi doesn’t have to sweet talk his A.D. for top fake Rolex Daytona watches allocation like the rest of us mere mortals—especially considering what other Rolex bangers he’s already picked up along the way. Messi was once spotted in a platinum-dial ref. 116509, a fancier version of the otherwise purpose-built Daytona.
No matter how you slice it, the modern steel luxury Rolex Daytona super clone watches UK is a horological staple for a reason. Sleek yet utilitarian, it looks the part on anybody’s wrist—especially Messi’s.
