The Replica Rolex 1908 52508 Watch Gets A Matching Settimo Bracelet

The replica Rolex 1908 has always felt like a bit of an unfinished masterpiece. As a dress watch, it ticks nearly every box with poise, especially when paired with the usual leather straps that come with it. But let’s be honest—sometimes a watch needs more than just competence. It needs presence. Thankfully, the replica world listens to the same cravings, and this year, we finally get the missing piece: a replica Settimo bracelet for the 1908.

Settimo bracelet? What’s that?

Glad you asked. The replica Settimo bracelet is a beautifully crafted seven-link 18k yellow gold-style bracelet, designed specifically to match the elegance of the 1908 replica. And yes, while it’s not real gold, the visual effect is strikingly convincing. Its construction gives it that buttery wrist feel—luxurious without the weight (or the price). The fine articulation from the tiny links, along with a seamless folding clasp that’s only revealed by a replica Rolex watch crown tab, helps it mimic the real thing closely.

As for the attachment system, it’s supposedly “special,” which, in the replica scene, usually just means the end links are precisely shaped to match the lugs. There’s no quick-release system, but we didn’t expect that anyway.

No changes to the watch itself—just a new vibe

Other than the bracelet, nothing has changed on the replica 1908 itself. You’re still looking at a finely recreated 39mm 18k gold-style case, domed sapphire-like crystal, 50m of water resistance, and the same signature bezel that’s part fluted, part smooth. The dial choices stick with the traditional black or white, complete with replica applied 3-6-9 numerals, baton markers, and that charming sunken seconds subdial.

One of the standout features remains the transparent caseback—unusual for a Rolex and faithfully carried over into this replica version. Through it, a mock-up of the 7140 movement can be seen, complete with an imitation golden rotor and stylized silicon hairspring—a visual homage to the Syloxi system. While it doesn’t offer the same performance, the aesthetic illusion is convincing enough for most collectors of high-quality replicas.

So… is this just a bracelet update? Yes. But it matters.

Sure, you’ve just read an article about a new bracelet for a replica watch. But for those who’ve always felt the leather-strap 1908 needed a touch more vintage glamor or cohesive luxury, this replica Settimo bracelet makes a noticeable difference. The watch, once quietly elegant, now leans confidently into its classic Rolex identity—even if it's not the real thing.

The replica Rolex 1908 52508 with the Settimo-style bracelet is widely available through trusted replica sources for a fraction of the real model’s $35,000 price tag. Will I buy it? Honestly… it’s tempting. Because sometimes, even a replica deserves to feel complete.
