Literally no one will be able to tell this watch isn’t a Rolex — it’s the best affordable dupe we’ve seen

The Rolex is single-handedly the most luxurious and coveted watch brand in the world. In addition to being the ultimate status symbol, it perfectly exudes that effortless luxury vibe that everyone’s always trying to achieve. The truth of the matter is, though, that the Rolex is financially out of reach for most folks since most can’t randomly spend over $100,000 on a watch.

However, if you want that Rolex look without spending a large loan sum, we’ve found the best Rolex dupe — and it costs under $300!

To put things into perspective, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Big Red” retails for over $130,000. It’s one of the brand’s most vintage models that debuted as a racing chronograph in 1963. Today, it accounts for two of the top three highest-priced watches in the world, making it almost impossible to find. However, a used model is currently available on Farfetch.

When I first saw the Dan Henry 1962 Racing Chronograph, I immediately thought of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona since it has eerily similar features and design elements that make it an instant classic.

This stunning Rolex dupe has that vintage flair that makes it just as versatile and understatedly striking as the Daytona. Henry’s 1962 Racing Chronograph was modeled after the racing chronographs of the early 1960s, like the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona.

It has a matte dial, black tachymeter bezel and twisted lugs — design features that mimic the Rolex Daytona effortlessly. It’s, hands down, one of the most beautiful chronograph watches you’ll find under $300 and, best of all, it’s sure to last you a lifetime like its much more expensive older brother.

The Dan Henry 1962 Racing Chronograph comes in four colors (Evil Panda, Gilt, Panda and Blue) and includes a one-year international warranty.

If you’re looking for the absolute best Rolex dupe that won’t break the bank, this Dan Henry chronograph watch is my top recommendation.
