Once you put this beautiful watch on, you’ll instantly feel more powerful and confident in your life. Unfortunately, with a $3,000+ price tag (even for a pre-owned watch), the Datejust isn’t the most affordable option for average Joe’s like us!
However, there are several great Rolex Datejust alternatives on the market.
And these watches look pretty much just like the Rolex Datejust…except they are available for a fraction of the cost!
Here are the 6 best Rolex Datejust homage watches…

WOW!
This watch is a beautiful thing of beauty!
Instead of the usual rectangle tick marks on the Rolex Datejust, the Burei version has small crystals instead! The actual manual says “diamonds”, but I doubt they’re the real thing at this price point.
Nevertheless, this watch is a must have if you want to have a lookalike to the Rolex Datejust, but don’t want to shell out $4,000!
Pros:
*Looks nearly like the Rolex Datejust, except for the crystals (which I think is actually an upgrade).
*Perfect for formal events.
*This is an automatic watch.
Cons:
*Watch is not very anti-reflective, which can make it harder to see during the day.
*Only 30 meters of water resistance – don’t go in the pool or take a bath with this thing!

3. Seiko Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Model: SARB035)
Click Here to get the Seiko SARB035!
The Seiko SARB035 is a beautiful watch. The band is extremely well made and the links turn smoothly.
If you want to look more stylish and confident, get this watch. While it doesn’t have the same ridged bezel as the Rolex Datejust, I think it more than makes up for it with the beautiful dial and minute and hour hands.
Pros:
*This is an automatic watch
*Beautiful minute and hour hands.
*Very high quality watch (feels like a $2,000+ Dollar Watch!)
Cons:
*Watch is a little bit more expensive than other Datejust alternatives.
*Only 100m of water resistance.
4. Orient President Classic Automatic Watch EV0J003W
Click Here to get the Orient President Datejust Homage
I can see why Orient decided to name this watch the “President”! This thing is fit for leaders and powerful men. And that’s exactly what you’ll feel like when you put this bad boy on!
It has the same ridged bezel as the Rolex Datejust and is actually available in some of the same colors.
The links in the band are great and feel smooth against your skin. If you’re looking for something similar to the Datejust, look no further!
Pros:
*This is an automatic watch.
*Watch also has the day function on the top (at 12 o’clock)
Cons:
*This is a more expensive watch.

5. Bulova Precisionist Stainless Steel Watch
Click Here to get the Bulova Precisionist Watch!
The Bulova Precisionist is a good attempt at the Rolex Datejust. My biggest complaint about the watch is the long tick marks on the dial and the lack of a ridged bezel.
Other than that, I love this watch. I’m especially a big fan of the blue dial, which is my favorite color on the Datejust.
Pros:
*This watch has an amazing continuously sweeping second hand – which means there are no “ticks” or “jumps” when the second hand moves (really hard to get for a watch at this price point – usually have to spend a few grand!)
Cons:
*Only water resistant to 30 meters.
*This is a 42 mm watch, so if you have smaller wrists, I’d consider another Rolex homage.

Pros:
*This watch is chronometer certified, which means it is a very accurate automatic watch!
*Beautify, high class band that feels smooth on your skin.
Cons:
*This is a larger watch (42 mm)
*I’m not a big fan of the numbers on the dial (3, 6, 9 and 12) – would much rather prefer roman numerals or tick marks.
