Each year Rolex chooses to alter or update certain specifications on their watches as an incentive to attract more new and old buyers alike but also to thwart the efforts of counterfeiters. Rolex has implemented a variety of anti counterfeiting methods in their newest watches. Over the last few years there have been some major changes to some of the most important models. Swiss Replica manufacturers have had trouble keeping up to the many alterations introduced by Rolex. Until now.

2008 is a big year for the replica industry as New Grade 1 Swiss Replicas have finally hit the market which encompass these new updates. Most websites claim to offer 2008 timepieces however a close inspection of their website confirms that they are merely pointing to production year and not to the actual improvment of specifications. Look closely for detailed images of these upgrades since they are very simple to point out. From the websites we have looked at bestswiss.com seems to be offering these new updates at this time. Other sites may follow in time but are currently only offering the 2004-2006 specs or earlier year models. As of May 2006 Oris, Girard Perregeaux and Chase Durer are using variations of a base ETA 2836-2 to produce a higher quality 27 jewel 2892-2 movement. These have found their way into genuine swiss grade 1 replicas via select websites. To confirm that you are receiving a true 27 jewel engine make certain the website lists the caliber number as 2892-2 and follow our recommendations on our site review section.
