The closest thing to the "perfect" replica Rolex may be this Explorer I copy. The Explorer I is such a basic watch that it manages to avoid most of the common Rolex replica flaws, such as the crown guards. This particular example is quite well made, and is an indication of the improved quality of replica watches in general in the last twelve months. When purchasing a Rolex Explorer I it's best to stick with reliable dealers or purchase new. Fake Explorer Is are fairly common.
