In 1960, perfect replica Rolex replaced the ref. 6541 with the new ref. 1019. This Milgauss was a huge change from the two watches that came before. It stayed in production until 1988, making it one of the references with the longest production runs in Rolex history. As you can see, the watch featured an Oyster Precision-style case with a fixed, polished bezel. The 38mm diameter remained, but the overall style changed quite drastically.
The Milgauss ref. 1019 was available with a matte black dial or a vertically brushed silver dial. The latter was especially cool because that brushed finish was previously only used for rare Datejust and Oyster models. There were also versions with a glossy black dial, but those were very rare. All of the dials featured the Milgauss name in red, which corresponded with the red tip of the now-straight seconds hand. As you can see, the hour and minute hands also changed to a shape we haven’t seen often for AAA fake Rolex watches. But the style works well with the overall aesthetic.
A new aesthetic and a new caliber
High quality copy Rolex removed the quirky lightning-bolt-shaped hand that fans love so much. But you must understand that while that may be a unique and much-loved feature now, the Milgauss ref. 6541 was never a huge commercial success. So it makes sense that Rolex removed some of the quirkiness and replaced it with a more straightforward-looking Milgauss.
Inside the case with its Faraday cage, the brand also used a new movement. Caliber 1580 replaced the previous caliber 1080 and increased the frequency from 18,000vph to 19,800vph. The power reserve also went up to 48 hours, and in 1972, UK cheap super clone Rolex introduced hacking as a new feature.
Despite the updated aesthetic and the long production run, the luxury replica Rolex Milgauss ref. 1019 was never a great seller. However, as you will understand, in the Rolex universe, rarity means high prices. That’s why you will see these models go for a lot of money when they pop up for sale. The discontinuation of this reference in 1988 also meant that the Milgauss name was no longer part of the Rolex collection.
