So, I’ve been wanting to jazz up my Apple Watch for a while now, and I thought, why not make it look like a Rolex? Yeah, I know, it’s not the real deal, but it could be a fun little project, right? And I’m not alone in this, I saw a lot of people are trying to do the same thing and talking about it online.
First thing I did was go down the rabbit hole of searching for ideas on how others did it. I found some cool stuff, like the Tudor Royal – apparently, it’s like a cousin to the Rolex, so that’s a start. I also learned that a lot of people say I should use the Apple’s original watch bands. I have used some custom straps, but original bands are really good. If you want to do water sports, the original band called Alpine Loop is the way to go.
Find the Right Band
I wanted something that looked like a classic Rolex, so I started looking for a metal band. I tried out a few, but I really should have listened to the people online. The generic ones just didn’t cut it. I have quite a few of the Apple original bands. So, I decided to stick with the original Apple band called Alpine Loop, and it was so comfortable.
Find the Right Face
Next up, the watch face. I wanted to match the face to the band, so I went with a classic, simple design. I found a few that looked pretty similar to some popular Rolex faces, like the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Siliciumis, which is said to be a good alternative to the Rolex Milgauss. It took a bit of playing around, but I finally settled on one that I liked.
Putting It All Together
Putting the band on was a piece of cake, and changing the watch face was just a few taps. And just like that, my Apple Watch got a little makeover!
Now, it’s not going to fool anyone into thinking it’s a real Rolex, but it definitely looks more dressed up than before. It’s a fun way to switch up the look of my Apple Watch without spending a ton of money. Plus, I can always switch back to the original band and face whenever I want.
So, there you have it – my little experiment with making my Apple Watch look a bit like a Rolex. It was a fun little project, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. If you’re thinking of doing something similar, I’d say go for it! Just remember to have fun with it, and don’t be afraid to experiment until you find the perfect combination for you.
