What’s the most you’re willing to spend to get a wristwatch? For a select group of well-heeled people, that number can reach millions.But there’s one replica watches that can not be bought, only earned: The specially engraved Swiss made Rolex Daytona replica watches awarded exclusively to the winning drivers of the Rolex 24 at Daytona or the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Competitors spend a lifetime preparing for these races, hoping for that elusive victory—and a brand-new watch.Against the backdrop of the 2024 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, held at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca during Monterey Car Week, Motor1 spoke with two living legends of racing: Formula 1 champion Jenson Button, and sports-car racing legend Hurley Haywood. Both drivers are Rolex ambassadors, eager to discuss the allure of these race-won UK AAA Rolex fake watches and what they mean to the motorsport community.
Rolex became the title sponsor of the 24 at Daytona in 1992, and since then has given prize high quality Rolex copy watches to drivers who take first place in each class. (Since 2001, Rolex has also given commemorative watches to winners of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but this prize is reserved for the overall winner.)“They’re a trophy that you can wear to the bar,” said James Stacey, lead editor at watch enthusiast publication Hodinkee. Usually, Stacey said, the race-winner watch is luxury 2024 replica Rolex Daytona watches, similar to what’s available to retail customers, though some years feature unusual color combinations.
“There are people who spend millions of dollars to win one of these swiss replica watches,” Stacey said. “They easily could have just bought something very similar at the store, even paying way over retail.” But that wouldn’t have the same meaning.Hurley Haywood has five top wholesale Rolex super clone watches commemorating his five overall victories at the Rolex 24 at Daytona. They weren’t exactly awarded chronologically.“The first actual watch I got for winning the race was 1991,” Haywood told Motor1. “But that was my fifth win.” 1991 was the first year that Rolex gave out Cosmograph Daytonas on the podium, and Haywood’s Joest Racing co-drivers each got a watch commemorating their victory in a Porsche 962 C. Haywood got a little extra.“Roland Puton, who was the president of Rolex, said, we’re going to backdate it,” Haywood told Motor1.
