Single-Red Sea-Dweller Rolex Replica Model in Great Popularity

Apart from these double-signed and particular commission cheap replica watches – like those given to COMEX, a topic worthy of a whole dedicated story – the simple truth with the Rolex Sea-Dwellers is that earlier equals more valuable. What’s more, those watches with stories to them command meaningful premiums. For instance, I would never forget that Jason Heaton ever being more excited than when Philippe-Pierre Cousteau’s Double-Red Sea-Dweller came up for sale. The beat-up fake Rolex sold at a very cheap price back then in 2014. We’ve seen them go even better as a good full set.
Still, Comex, Oman, and any special Double-Red have nothing on the almighty Sea-Dweller, the “Single Red.” As mentioned above, the very earliest examples of the Sea-Dweller produced even before the Double-Red watches had just one line of red text on the dial. They were rated to just 500 feet instead of 600, but they are so ungodly rare that any time one surfaces it is serious watch-guy news.
We’ve been writing about them here for over five years and reporting on their records without fail. In 2012, AQ sold the real Rolex for over $500,000. At that point, it was among the top three most expensive Rolex watches in history. In 2013, Sotheby’s sold one without a bezel for almost $400,000. Earlier this year, Rolex Passion Report published a fascinating look at a newly discovered Single-Red with amazing provenance. The watch was quickly sold to a collector in Asia for an undisclosed price.
Any Sea-Dweller with a great story of adventure is worth more than one without. Then we have the Comex and Omani fake watches. Then the Patent-Pending watches, with extra points for an early patent-pending bracelet. However, the holy grail of these mega Rolex divers is undoubtedly the Single-Red Sea-Dweller, which is why it was so significant to see Rolex close the loop this year by adding just a single line of red text to the best Rolex Replica here.

Top Quality Replica Rolex GMT Model

We never have secrets about our all-consuming love affair with the Rolex GMT-Master series. So when a very nice vintage watch comes through our doors, we’re going to close it. rolex
The subject today is just such a fake watch. If you were to make a list of everything a vintage Rolex collector looks for in the great early GMT-Master, this one checks each box.
It was the second generation of the GMT-Master family, having replaced the initial watch, made popular in that greatest of all Bond movies, Gold finger. This model had a long run, starting life in 1959 and finally being granted a well-earned retirement 21 years later in 1980.
It was this replica that introduced crown guards to the series and also replaced the original’s fragile Bakelite bezel with an all-new aluminum insert—two testaments to the fake Rolex‘s dedication in making their aviator’s watch sturdy enough to wear as a stylish daily beater. 
The story of the GMT’s origin is well known; made in conjunction with Pan Am, it was made with its distinctive two-tone bezel and extra 24-hour hand to help the airline’s pilots cope with changing time zones as they flew the new, longer transatlantic routes. The joy in vintage watch collecting is in finding a piece with a real character. For the  Rolexes, designed above everything else to be functional tools and the wearer’s constant companion, whose personality is written in the aging of the watch’s coloring.
However, it’s not simply the age-faded bezel that makes this such a particular example of one of Rolex’s finest. Made in 1963, it is also complete with the minutiae that cause brand purists to go all misty-eyed; what can be described as a Mark 1 model, before any of the pertinent little details were swapped or updated.
For example, the pointed crown guards, given the nickname El Cornino from the Italian for ‘horns’, were superseded two years later by more rounded replacements. That short production run gives these replica watches an enviable scarcity value, made even better by the rather light wear the guards have received. Many examples of GMTs of this era have suffered from over-polishing, eroding their distinctive shape.
At the very first beginning, the replica Rolex used glossy dials across all of their sports collection before making the switch to matte. The gilt face on our example features the chapter ring specific to the earliest models, as well as the once gold lettering and hour markers turning the distinguishing cream color of all vintage Rolexes.
