Fake watches: Today, Eastern Arabic numerals are widely used along with Arabic script in the rich oil-producing countries of the Middle East and the Arabian Gulf. For this reason, these numbers are sometimes described in watch auction catalogs as “Arabic” numerals, hereinafter referred to as “Arabic numerals”. Eastern Arabic numerals, sometimes called Arabic-Indian numerals, also called Middle Eastern Arabic numerals are symbols derived from the Indo-Arabic numeral system, invented by Indian mathematicians about 1600 years ago. Over time, they were adopted by the Arabs and then in the West, evolving into the Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) commonly used today.
First generation:
Rolex fake offered special dials with Arabic numerals for Day-Date watches as early as the late 1950s.
Eric Ku, a renowned Rolex antiques expert, once said: “Rolex’s willingness to tailor best replica watches to the specific needs and tastes of customers in order to increase sales to the emerging luxury market” is the rationale behind this Arabic dial.
“Because of the discovery of oil in the Middle East, first in Iran in 1908 and then gradually throughout the region, coupled with the heavy colonial influence of the United Kingdom, is the reason why Rolex entered the Middle East very early.” We are curious to see how these Arabic dials are and the exact details of when it was made, but information on vintage Rolexes is always hard to come by, especially on special editions that are very limited. After a lot of domestic and foreign information and asking all kinds of senior Rolex watch friends, the following conclusions were drawn.
The Day-Date with Arabic numerals for the first time was 6510 and 6511.
They were launched in 1956. Rolex watch with date display. 6611 dog tooth ring, 6612 aperture and 6613 diamond ring, this generation of Rolex is the beginning of the story of Arabic numerals.
The use of Arabic script on the week-date disc is used in stages, starting with the day-of-week disc. The Ref.6611 with the Arabic dial of the week dates from the late 1950s and uses the Arabic spelling of the date. However, the scale is still normal. Because Islam does not advocate men wearing gold. Therefore, the use of diamond scales is closer to localization, and there are diamond hour markers on the dial, which are specially designed for upper-class customers.
As with all Rolex products, it is difficult to pinpoint when the Arabic dial was first introduced. But it is certain that from the late 1950s, when such dials were first installed on Day-Date,
several such samples are known to exist. These particular watches are likely the first to be
produced entirely in Arabic numerals for the date and matching Arabic week function,
not just for Rolex but for the entire Swiss watch industry. The first generation did not have the Arabic numerals of the fire.
Second generation:
A definite record is the special dial with Arabic numerals
that came with the next-generation Day-Dates (references 1802, 1803, 1804, etc.) that came out in 1961. In fact, it’s one of the most special Day-Dates ever made. The Ref.1804 dates back to 1960 and is called “Scheherazade” by Pucci and is unique in almost every way, namely Arabic numerals,
date and day, precious metal case, diamond ring.
This generation of Arabic special-edition Rolex made the rounds, making fake watches uk with Arabic dials so popular at
the time that they continued to be produced for the better part of the next 20 years,
during which time Rolex refined the design. For the trial, its customers also placed various custom orders. This era has many different combinations of Arabic dial colors and indexes, as well as cases and bracelets.
There are even some rare Arabic special Rolexes with special dials, such as this 1803 rose gold. These 1803s are equipped with a special dial called “Aladdin’s Rose”. It is known that this kind of Aladdin rose is in the Exclusively for the Syrian market.
Third Generation:
Although Rolex is constantly updating and modifying versions, the font of the Arabic alphanumeric scale has always remained the same size and style,
as have the Arabic day of the week and the Arabic numeral date. But by the late 1970s, and possibly even the early 1980s, the Arabic numerals were completely discontinued,
leaving only the Arabic day of the week and the Arabic numeral date in production. The hour-marker scale has been changed back to the normal version of the scale.
Fourth Generation:
At Baselworld 2016, the new Day-Date 40 Arabic numerals, M228206-0025, appeared. It can be seen as a tribute to the golden age of Arabic numeral dials in the 1960s and 1970s. While distribution is extremely limited, the watch is only available at selected authorized dealers in the Middle East,
namely those in Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. It’s really intergenerational inheritance.
