Cigar Funhouse

The core appeal of this watch to me is that it is similar and different at the same time. Similar enough to the vivid appearance of the vintage Stella pieces to be firmly rooted in the brand’s traditions, but at the same time different from both the vast sea of perfect replica Rolex watches made every year and from other pieces in my collection.

I’ve included links to a couple of in-depth articles on the vintage Stella line at the end of this article and won’t repeat its full history here, other than to note that (although different sources vary in their views) it appears that the Stella name was used in best fake Rolex marketing materials at the time and that it most likely refers to the maker of the rich-colored lacquers used on the dials.

At least so far, high quality copy Rolex watches are not formally using the Stella name for the new Oyster Perpetual collection, so I’ll refer to them as Stella inspired or “Stella” pieces.

For me, the variations on an historical theme really work as the modernization of the new pieces, which I’d call subtle but which some cheap super clone Rolex purists see as radical, gives an appeal that I think a literal re-edition of the original Stella pieces would have lacked.

To start, while I fully appreciate that some folks prefer the 36 mm size, I find the 41 mm works extremely well both physically and visually on my medium-sized wrist given the way the case band curves and the bracelet drops smoothly away from the lugs.
