Highlights Of This Autumn Auction

This autumn auction season brought a number of extremely remarkable replica watches, some of which are vintage fake watches from Rolex. The main reason why they attract collectors so much is its diversity which is common in the past but disappeared in their current products.
Item number 1823 Day-Date
Rolex always declares that their flagship Day-Date replica watch is solely made from expensive metals; nevertheless, it is true that Rolex produced a few stainless steel versions over the years for internal-use purposes, specifically as prototypes or teaching tools. These replica watches were never intended to sell on the market but often sell for great much more than their expensive metal type whenever they surprisingly emerge at auction. This watch, item 1823 produced to test the Rolex movement was recently sold by Phillips for 169,000 in American dollars.
Item 1612 Sea-Dweller
Only 12 Single Red Rolex Sea-Dweller cheap watches are thought to exist till now, and as they were original prototypes for extremely strict inspection, the fake watches come with and without the Sea-Dweller typical helium gas escape valve. One of the available 12 which happened to do not have the valve was gifted to a US diver, Robert Palmer Bradley in 1968 by Rolex, as a keepsake of the 500th dive of the Deepstar-4000. That same watch was sold for 710,000.12 USD
Item 5511 Submariner Produced For British Armies
The Rolex is regarded by many people to be one of the Holy Grails of military-issued watch collecting. Item 5511 was recently sold by Sotheby’s for 219,000.19 USD is an amazingly reserved model for which all collectors would seek. In spite of its history with the British Armed Forces, almost every corner of this rarely-seen fake Rolex has somehow managed to remain in great condition over the years, from its sword-like hands to its case-back markings and completely demarcated bezel insert.
Item 6500 GMT-Master With Left-Handed Design
Every item 6500 Rolex GMT-Master in 18k gold is thought to be exceedingly rare and sought after by fake watch collectors. Recently, Phillips sold a greatly unique (and probably one-of-a-kind) Item 6500 GMT-Master in 18k yellow gold, with a special, left-handed crown design for 200,000.00 USD at the current time of writing. It is highly possible that this watch was made as a special order, and it is probably the only left-handed item 6500 GMT-Master to have ever been manufactured in 18k gold.

Dark Side of the Replica Omega Speedmaster

Today, before we open our talks, it goes without saying that there’s no popularity lost for the average replica Omega Speedy. Of course, I have to respect their history, what they have done for the major popularity of quality watchmaking, and so forth, but, generally speaking, the countless modern references of Speedmaster out there just don’t do anything for me. But then I found the Apollo 8 and thought, “that would be OK, maybe one more version won’t be the end of the world “. omega
The Apollo 8, from the very beginning, is a somewhat odd duck. Between its special partially cutaway dial, bright yellow accents, a ceramic case, a particularly modified hand-winding caliber, a lot is going on here that ensures this piece isn’t your average Speedmaster dial variation. Its design is a tribute to the Apollo 8 mission that orbited the moon, and, as you can see from the imagery, there’s many “moon-ness” to its design.
Though it’s still a larger 44.25mm diameter case – a far cry from the more svelte OG Speedies – it is a touch thinner than most of its siblings on account of the caliber choice. The two biggest hurdles I cannot get past with Co-Axial Speedmasters are the thickness of their cases, and the stacked hour/minute chronograph subdials that impact legibility, and the Apollo 8 puts both of those issues to rest in one fell swoop. Functional fun aside, the dial and movement finishing of the Apollo 8 are a real treat. What appears initially as part of the dial is effectively the caliber’s main plate, which has been blackened and then “laser-ablated” (per fake Omega documentation) to depict an interpretation of the moon’s surface. Outback, the balance cock and some bridges have been treated with the same process. While these changes have zero effect on running performance, the added contrast plays an important role in altering the appearance of Omega’s caliber 1869.
Black cases, in general, tend making replica watches appear a touch smaller on the wrist than their stainless steel siblings, and when connected with the added lightness of ceramic, its physical and visual heft is almost misleading. Don’t get me wrong, you’re not looking down and thinking this is a 42mm reference 145.022, but it’s by no means as overbearing as its Co-Axial cousins. As a finishing touch, its supple perforated leather strap with contrasting yellow stitching is quite cozy and pulls the aesthetic package together wonderfully. The fact that they finish it off with a matching ceramic buckle is just icing on the cake.
Hence, has Omega replica converted me into a Speedy lover at the end of the day? The answer is no. Have they put an offering on the table that I can objectively look at and say, “I don’t care to have one of those, and would pleasantly recommend one to someone else”? I suppose I can safely say yes to that at the very least.

Jack Forster – Seiko 1968 Automatic Diver’s Re-Creation Limited Edition

One of the great things about vintage watch re-editions is that they allow watch brands to make timepieces look more classic with updated materials and mechanics. Vintage watches can be definitely exceptional but normally seems a bit weak in durability and reliability compared with modern replica watches. One of my favorite updates this year came from Seiko, which did a re-issue of the 6159-7001: the SLA025. The 6159-7001 is a fairly precious watch (it was wholly made for only two years, 1968-69) and the new model has all the idiosyncratic, form-follows-function appeal of the original, but with an updated movement, and many small tweaks to the basic design. This handsome timepiece is ready for you and the deep blue sea anytime.
James Stacey – Longines Military Watch
If you’re hunting for a new vintage look, Longines did it best at Baselworld this past year and no one could beyond it even the past several years. Their new Longines Military Watch has a lovely and old-school 38.5mm steel case that wraps around a beautiful faux-aged dial replete with fake age spots and its classic blued steel hands are powered by a Longines automatic L888 movement (based on the ETA A31). It’s a new watch that certainly looks old but beautiful, and at CHF 2000, actually, it’s not cheap but it does offer a strong value and the Military Watch is outstanding among many competitions.  watches
Stephen Pulvirent – Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight
Heritage watches have been a big part of Tudor’s collection for many years, it’s no doubt that another great one should come. However, I have to admit that the Black Bay Fifty-Eight comes anywhere as far as to me. The watch pays tribute to the original Tudor Big Crown Submariner (from 1958, hence the name) and takes on a slimmer, smaller profile than any of the existing Black Bay divers. It’s just 39mm across and a hair under 12mm thick, meaning it wears almost exactly like an old, crown-guard-free Sub from the 60s. It’s the closest thing you’re going to find in a modern replica watch at least. The bevels on the lugs and the gilt finishing really make this watch warm and glamorous although I know that last bit is a little controversial, it can’t prevent you to appreciate it.

How To Differentiate the Rolex Explorer From the Explorer II?

Although with a similar name and adventurous spirit, the Explorer and the Explorer II models are of major differences. If you’ve ever wondered about this, here are the answers.
In 1953, Rolex released the Explorer replica watch to commemorate one of mankind’s most historic expeditions—Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay’s climbed to the summit of Mount Everest, the highest mountain on earth. The fake watch was suitably named Explorer, the cheap Rolex replica watch featured tough stainless steel construction, a highly legible dial, and a waterproof case, and temperature resistant ability.
In 1971, Rolex created a new watch named Explorer II that was mainly for spelunkers and polar explorers or people who spend a lot of time in the dark or areas with irregular sunlight hours. As such, the Explorer II features an extra 24-hour hand, a 24-hour marked bezel, and a highly luminous dial therefore users could always differentiate between day and night hours regardless of the environment. rolex
When it comes to function, the Explorer and the Explorer II are different as well. The Explorer is a simple design Rolex model. But on the contrary, Explorer II has a few other functions. First, there’s a date window at 3 o’clock. Then there’s an extra 24-hour hand. On the first Explorer II watch, this extra triangular-tipped hand indicates AM/PM, since it’s synchronized to the main hour and minute hands. With iteration, the Explorer II became a GMT fake watches since the 24-hour hand is set independently from the center hour and minute hands.
The Explorer always comes with a black dial with 3, 6, and 9 markings besides stick/baton indexes. In fact, this dial design is called the “Explorer-style” dial.
As for the first Explorer II, also known as the Rolex Steve McQueen, only has the version of black dial, Rolex provided both black and white dials on all subsequent Explorer II models. Also, the extra 24-hour hand began as orange, then it was changed to red, and on the most recent version, it was changed back to orange.

No-limited Replica Omega Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Apollo 8 Watch

Honestly, when I see that a big brand listening to its customers I really cherish every one of those exotic and rare occasions. According to many of the brand’s devoted followers, some of Omega’s hot-sellers including the awesome Dark Side of the Moon series were just too wide and too thick for their own good, resulting in that many fans have to give up their desired replica watches at the stores. To satisfy our customers’ requests, the brand listened and brought us to other new rare occasions, this Omega Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Apollo 8 is coming. Even if this meant going against previous self-imposed rules or breaking through hitherto sacred glass ceilings in creativity. Look, it is the slimmest and most wearable Omega DSotM after all. omega
In my opinion, it is more important to understand that Omega turned against some hardcore rules with the Apollo 8 than knowing the Apollo 8 story inside out. In the beginning, as we will see, the movement choice plays a major role in rendering this Apollo 8 as special as it is – an Omega’s choice of movement in itself is noteworthy for two reasons. Firstly, it is very rare that we see a big brand place a “lesser” movement into one of its higher-positioned collections; and yet, that is what happened here. The fancy, endlessly refined, high-tech co-axial automatic chronograph of other DSotM watches was replaced by a new spin on the 1861 hand-wound caliber – more details on this later. Secondly, it is perhaps even rarer that we see a major brand creatively customize one of its core movements and yet, Omega has really tried their best to make this watch ( as it is called caliber 1869 here) outstanding among the watch market.
Except for the issue of movements, a Rolex replica has also shown off its capabilities of finally, which got genuinely creative with the original Moonwatch look and produced something that. Now it’s here, making me want to ask “why didn’t this happen sooner?” again, I think we’ll agree it is exceedingly rare that we see major brands take this much liberty with a core product. To make things better, Omega not only took things all the way but has not chickened out of making the Speedmaster Apollo 8 a non-limited edition. The fact is that, now we have a chance to get a cool new Speedmaster, it isn’t a limited edition shockingly, but will actually be available at boutiques, which is too successful to make you believe it completely.
We can see that the reduction in thickness is very noticeable and very awesome. The previous versions were quite a bit of a burger, something they made up for with their bad-ass space-age, black/grey/white ceramic Speedmaster vibe. The Speedmaster Apollo 8 serves as a remarkably intelligent, creative, and likable middle-ground between the badassery of the DSotM series and the romantic Moon/NASA story-telling of the regular Moonwatch.
What should we say is that the non-limited edition Apollo 8 is the same 44.25mm wide as its previous, modern styled, Moon-themed ceramic counterparts from replica Omega, but it looks and wears considerably smaller due to a noticeable reduction in its thickness finally. This is made possible by Omega setting its fancy and complicated co-axial movements aside, all of which come equipped with automatic winding, replacing it with a customized version of the hand-wound caliber 1861 found in its classic Moonwatch and renamed to 1869 for this “Modified” variant.
Because of losing the thick automatic winding construction, the case of the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Apollo 8 could be 2.5mm thinner than those of previous DSotM watches, so it’s “just” 13.8mm thick now. That’s still substantial, meaning that the watch can now lay flat on its lugs at last. So you have no excuse to miss this no-limited edition of Omega Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Apollo 8 watch!

Understated Rolex Replica Watches

The Rolex Day-Date is in fact a favorite of ours — as it is for many other collectors. But that’s the problem. When you’re thinking of an understated, classy watch, often, your mind goes correctly to the replica Rolex Day-Date. This amazing replica watch is inherently versatile inside this watch. The added functionality of the day and date function also ensures you make your meetings and can tell what day when you’ve lost track of holidays.
While it’s an all-around great fake watch, it is by far not the only elegant, understated everyday watch out there. Therefore, we’ve rounded up three watches that rival the Day-Date. We bet once you get one of these on, you’ll never want to take it off. You surely won’t need to. 
We can see from its name that the replica Tag Heuer Link Calibre 5 displays the day and date for the wearer just like the Rolex. But that’s where the similarities stop. Positioned at 6-o’clock, the day and date replace the number but still discreetly sit there in the same color as the watch face.
The Rhodium-plated hands sweep across the dark face that has a subtle line pattern, the simple hour markers shining next to the stainless case and bracelet. The gorgeous linked bracelet and numbered 42mm bezel add a bit of added interest to this watch, but the whole look remains handsomely understated.
It’s difficult to believe that one of the world’s most famed luxury watch brands could produce a watch that succeeds to fly under the radar. Yet, the 5296G-Calatrava does just that. The silvery opaline face adds a modern touch, but the sleek, round 38mm casing, gold hour markers, and black alligator bracelet are absolutely timeless and understated. The white-gold case might also give you the impression it’s delicate, but this watch can withstand depths of 30 meters (100 feet) and boasts a 35-hour power reserve.
The replica IWC Ingenieur Automatic is proof simple, clean design can still be eye-catching. The simple black face is made with luminescent markers that shine against the 40mm stainless steel case. You might also miss the date sitting at 3-o’clock upon first glance, but will be pleased to find it discreetly sitting there next time you’re racking your brain for the date.  
Inside, a self-winding 35111 caliber beats with 25-jewels and a 42-hour power reserve — the automatic movement keeping the watch ticking as you wear it. Of course, it’s all kept safe inside that durable, waterproof stainless case which solidifies this as an everyday watch you can slip on, enjoy, and not worry about.

The Last 40mm Sea-Dweller Rolex Replica Watch

To tell the truth, Rolex did not make a regular 40 mm Sea-Dweller in the past few years. On the contrary, the 44 mm Sea-Dweller Deep Sea was offered, which offered users a completely insane, 12,800-foot depth rating. Even though the Sea-Dweller Deep Sea offered users unparalleled water resistance, its enlarged case made for a significant presence on the wrist, and many purists yearned for a contemporary Sea-Dweller that more closely followed the design of the original model. 
For those that felt somewhat alienated by the Sea-Dweller Deep Sea, the amazing fake watch came as a relief, as it sported the exact same case diameter as the very first Sea-Dweller from 1967. Although the reference 116600 stood for the contemporary equivalent of the classic 40 mm Sea-Dweller, it also received all of Rolex’s latest and greatest technologies such as their Glidelock clasp and Cerachrom (ceramic) bezel insert.
However, Rolex released their new Sea-Dweller reference 126600 this year. At 43 mm in diameter and with a Cyclops magnification lens, the new reference 126600 is an important departure from the classic 40 mm Sea-Dweller that preceded it. What’s more, the new caliber 3235 that powers the reference 126600 is of the new generation of Rolex movements, only further separating it from the various Sea-Dweller references that it replaces.
Even though the reference 116600 holds a relatively important place within Sea-Dweller history, much of its importance is a direct result of Rolex’s determination to stop its production. Retail sales at authorized dealers were somewhat lackluster, and the incredibly short production span of just three years led to significantly fewer examples on the pre-owned market than most of the replica Rolex’s other sport model references.
The introduction of the reference 126600 marks the end of the classic 40 mm Sea-Dweller, which ultimately makes the previous reference 116600 somewhat unique among the various Sea-Dweller references. Apart from being the last Sea-Dweller with a 40 mm case diameter, it is also the only 40 mm Sea-Dweller reference to have ever been fitted with a Cerachrom bezel insert.
However, the reference 116600 is very much the final iteration of the classic, tried, and true Sea-Dweller design in all respects. Powered by the replica Rolex venerable caliber 3135 movement, the reference 116600 adheres to a highly versatile 40 mm in case of diameter, while an extra-thick, Cyclops-less crystal protects the ultra-legible, monochromatic dial underneath.
For those that love the look and feel of the classic 40 mm Sea-Dweller, the reference 116600 is the best contemporary equivalent that incorporates all of the fake Rolex’s newest technologies and proprietary materials in a proven and familiar feeling package.

Durable and Amazing Stainless Steel Replica Watches

Every man needs to own a stainless steel watch in his wardrobe. Fake watches with durable, timeless, and handsome features can help withstand daily wear and tear. I have to say that you really in need of one because when you own an amazing-looking stainless steel timepiece, you’re rarely going to want to take it off.
Here, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite stainless steel models. There’s a look for everyone, whether you’re in the market for something sporty or refined, each of these replica watches is handsome in its own right. Here are several typical examples.
The replica Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean is a good choice when you need something Durable Yet Refined. The Seamaster is the kind of watch that will transition with you from the boardroom to the bottom of the ocean floor effortlessly. This perfect timepiece can withstand depths of up to 600 meters, boasts a 60-hour power reserve, and the most dark-and-handsome face you ever did see. The iconic orange hour markers pop against the black face and bidirectional rotatable bezel — the luminescent hands shining against the darkness. The stainless steel case and bracelet keep play into the sporty look but is refined so well to dress up, as well.  
As for those who want beauty and comfort, Panerai Daylight Chronograph 6595 is the best option as well. This round, oversized 44mm stainless Panerai case is beyond striking. The automatic chronograph is also waterproof up to 100 meters (330 feet) and the three gorgeous subdials will help you keep perfect time. However, surprisingly, what we really love about this fake watch is the rubber Panerai strap. It’s not only durable and a more casual daily option, but it keeps all the focus on that handsome stainless case.
There is another popular watch that will always take you from day to night, which is Rolex Daytona 116520. If you know something about the Daytona’s, you know that it’s nearly impossible to get your hands on a stainless version. It’s a new addition to the Daytona line, and the waitlist to get a new one can easily take a few years. If you can manage to snag a stainless case and bracelet Daytona, though, you’re sure to revere it as one of your best purchases. The iconic, sporty, and quirky chronograph face will always serve as a conversation starter and the durable 9040L stainless ensures you can wear it day-in and day-out.
What’s more, the replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400ST is also a good choice for the collector who wants a conversation starter. Deconstructed, masculine, and gorgeous, the particular octagonal case of this Audemars Piguet is a wonderful twist on the everyday stainless watch. The 41-mm case features the screws on the front, leaving you wondering what exactly is under the signature “Grande Tapisserie” black dial. The lucky thing is that the sapphire exhibition case on the back gives you a peek. The Royal Oak 15400ST model is waterproof up to 50 meters and has a power reserve for up to 60-months; and with that durable stainless steel body and bracelet, you won’t have to worry about anything except keeping the time once you slide it on your wrist.

Cheap Rolex Datejust 178343 Olive Green Dial

A Datejust is a typical watch every lady should own in her wardrobe. The design isn’t just obviously timeless, and it’s practical and built to last a lifetime. This elevated design adds a dash of elegance to even a t-shirt and jeans, yet, it’s classy to wear on a date — it’s also sure to be a great conversation starter at the office. Today though, we’re stressing an even more unique Ladies Datejust, this model with a mesmerizing olive green dial.
The first thing that draws you to this cheap replica watch is that special green dial — the olive color popping against that 18k gold and diamond-clad bezel. The roman numerals are also outfitted in gold, shimmering in any ray of light they catch.
The signature cyclops lens at three o’clock is also highly visible, yet never seems to distract from this one-of-a-kind dial. The color is also particular to the fake Rolex, the watchmaker forges their dial colors on their own through a lengthy and expensive process to create these brilliant hues.
We already touched on this diamond-clad bezel, but it’s worth taking a second look. The diamonds aren’t just beautifully aligned around the face, and they’re placed in a scattered pattern, adding a touch of whimsy while remaining inherently gorgeous. We also love the size of this watch, which is featured as mid-size for a Ladies Datejust at 31mm. At just some millimeters bigger than the standard 28mm Ladies Rolex, the 31mm dial plays into this replica watches imposing looks but still doesn’t overpower the wrist.
The bezel and bracelet itself are also both forged out of 904L stainless steel and 18k yellow gold. This combination will ensure this watch both holds its value and itself up against the test of time. Besides, don’t forget to look at that striking Jubilee bracelet and hidden Crown-clasp, too. These small details add to both form and function of the timepiece, giving it a regal look.
Certainly, this Ladies Datejust is outfitted with the standard features like an Oyster case and screw-down crown that can withstand depths of 330 feet, a 2235 automatic movement, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Being a replica Rolex Datejust, this timepiece also features the signature Cyclops date at three o’clock.

Famous Replica Rolex Daytona with Sigma Dial

You know that the replica Rolex Daytona differs in that it is fitted with a metallic bezel craft from stainless steel or gold, instead of a black one made from acrylic. Although the actual case diameter of this generation of Daytona watches was no greater than that of the previous one, the larger design of the screw-down chronograph pushers gave the reference 6263 and the reference 6265 Rolex Daytona an obviously thicker and more muscular overall appearance than that of the previous generation that used traditional, pump-style pushers. Despite still depending on a manually wound, Valjoux 727 movement, the widespread implementation of screw-down chronograph pushers on this generation of Daytona watches marks a turning point in the Daytona’s history and makes the two fake Rolex some of the most desirable vintage Rolex references to own.
Apart from their perfect blend of modern and vintage aesthetics, one of the reasons why collectors are so drawn to reference 6263 and reference 6265 is the big variety of dials that were fitted to these watches throughout their relatively long production run. Dial variations include everything from the iconic “Red Daytona” (both big and small font), to the ever-popular “Paul Newman”/exotic dial – or in the case of this particular reference 6265 Daytona, the lesser-known, and often misunderstood “sigma dial.”
The tiny, round marks sometimes found on either side of the “Swiss” or “Swiss Made” text at the very bottom of certain watch dials from the 1970s are actually the lowercase Greek letter sigma, hence the rather-appropriate, “sigma dial” nickname. Numerous rumors and myths surround these often-unnoticed, sigma markings; however, the consensus is that they were a mark used by certain Swiss manufacturers to signify that the hands and hour indexes on a given watch were craft from solid gold.
As a result, sigma dials are not a trait that can be uniformly found across all Swiss brands, and there are no consistent and symmetrical dates for when sigma dial markings first started to appear, or for when they stopped being used. For these Rolex replica watches, serial number records suggest that sigma dials first started to appear around 1970 and were phased out towards the end of that decade.
It is the numerous vintage Rolex Daytona chronographs, tiny details across the different references that drive much of the value and excitement for collectors. Sigma dials, like the one fitted to this reference 6265 Rolex Daytona from 1972, are representative of an interesting and pivotal time within the entire watch industry when new competition from electronic and quartz movements forced traditional mechanical timepiece manufacturers to highlight other aspects of their products, such as the quality and material value of their components.
While the idea of promoting the value and exclusivity of mechanical watches was first introduced during the early 1970s, these attributes have now become the cornerstone principles that drive the majority of the modern luxury watch industry – and the high prices that manufacturers ask for their various works.
