Last Saturday, I attended this locally organized watch party with my colleague Daan, with about 50 watch enthusiasts and collectors. While I was there, news about the new Rolex Daytona, celebrating the 24 hours of Le Mans. Surprisingly, no one seemed to really care about it. Everyone was too busy enjoying the plethora of vintage and modern fake watches they could touch and try (along with cold beer). But the photos are crazy, and I keep seeing the new Rolex Daytona “24 Hours of Le Mans” on my feed.
To be honest, it’s a Daytona that I don’t hate. I’m not a big fan of the Daytona for all the reasons mentioned here on Fratello in the past (the subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock aligned above the center gear are the most important issue I have with the watch). But, objectively speaking, it’s not a bad-looking watch. It actually gives me some Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday “Tribute to Alaska III” vibes.
The new Rolex Daytona ref. 126529LN is in 18k white gold, and it has a new movement in addition to a new dial configuration and a red ceramic “100” in the tachymeter scale. Inside this new 40mm diameter Rolex Daytona is their 4132 movement. It is a variation of the 4131 movement, with the 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock replaced by a 24-hour counter. Of course, it’s a tribute to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and with this particular Daytona, you’ll be able to time the entire race for next year. Well, if you can buy one before the next 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The Rolex Daytona 126529LN was launched out of the blue during the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In typical Rolex fashion, nothing was shared in confidence and not leaked beforehand. This was a massive surprise for everyone. However, it was soon realized that the watch might only be for a lucky few, just like most other Daytona watches. The regular stainless steel Daytona currently retails for €15,100 but is almost impossible to get.
I think it’s interesting that Rolex is making more of these specials than ever before. While Rolex will not be able to meet the demand, it is interesting that they are taking these opportunities to develop something unique. As mentioned, I’m not a big fan of modern Daytona. Nonetheless, for other enthusiasts, it is a good chronograph that ticks a lot of boxes. For many, it is even considered a Holy Grail watch. The new white gold replica Rolex Daytona celebrating the 24 Hours of Le Mans may have become their new Holy Grail watch.

Obviously, we talk a lot at Bob’s about watches — everything from what celebrities wear to what to buy and how to care for them. But our friends at Kelly Klee focus on another aspect of watches: how to insure them. As a private client insurance broker, Kelly Klee helps clients ensure their valuables such as art collections, vintage cars, vacation homes, and luxury watches.
Recently, we talked to the folks at Kelly Klee to discuss all fake watches. We talked about everything from getting into the business to the love of collecting, and how to build a valuable collection. You can read the full feature article on Kelly Klee’s website, but here are some highlights we think you’ll enjoy.
However, many of Kelly Klee’s clients are actually avid watch collectors, sometimes with decades-old watches, like Paul. Paul says his personal collection has changed dramatically over the years. “Most of my models are Rolexes. But lately I’ve been buying more and more gold watches to keep. For me, I’m more selective; I don’t have as many gold watches as steel ones. But recently, I’ve bought more gold vintage watches as an investment.”
For those fellow collectors who have serious luxury watch collections, Paul said the most important thing is to avoid the trends. “Don’t buy what someone else likes, and do your research.” And in terms of what replica watches Paul says are a good investment right now, he zeroed in on Omega and Rolex. “With Rolex, there are some watch models that are on the fringe, where they’re very affordable and turning vintage soon,” Paul confided. “Consider GMT or Submariner models like the 16800, 168000, 16710 – these are all very affordable today and can only go up in value.”
Kelly Klee helps clients ensure all sorts of collections and valuables. However, as Paul explained, there’s something really very particular and special about a watch collection. “To me, watches are cool because they’re affordable compared to cars or art.
Finally, many of Kelly Klee’s customers buy watches not just as accessories, but as investment pieces. ‘If you want to buy some watches as an investment, you have to focus on luxury watches of high quality and limited production, such as those from brands such as Eggplant, Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Abbey,’ Mr. Paul said. “Historically, especially vintage watches, they have gone up in value,” Explains Paul. “They have proved to be huge investments. But it also has to do with quality — some of the original clocks that have been maintained over the years may not even have been polished. It would be cool if it had boxes and paper, but more importantly, it has high quality.”
One of most amazing replica watches is the arrival of the fake Tudor’s first GMT watch. The Rolex subsidiary’s introduction into the world of the dual time zone pays a very respectful homage to the model that started it all by adding to the already comprehensive Black Bay series,.
Through some engineering skullduggery, the GMT managed to keep the same 41mm dimensions as the majority of the Black Bay range, even with the additional complication. That brings it in as a little bigger, and a couple of mils thicker, than the GMT-Master II—not at all a bad thing, but something you will pay attention on the wrist. You can possibly consider this the “Fat Lady” of Tudor. In keeping with most of replica Tudor’s output, and only adding to the real retro vibe, the case does without guards for its oversize crown.
With its matte finish and gilt printing, the dial is a nice period detail, and the hands retain Tudor’s well-established snowflake motif. The theme also carries over on to the extra long, red GMT hand, overlapping the dial’s chapter ring.
Obviously, a Pepsi color scheme, although you won’t find the word in any of the official literature, the rotating two-tone surround hasn’t tried to compete with the glistening Cerachrom of the Rolex, but has instead kept to a more subdued, toned-down aesthetic. Nowadays, one of the major differences between Tudor and Rolex, and the biggest reason for their fairly significant price gulfs was the use of in-house movements.
Making it a true ‘travel time’ fake watch, the two hour hands can be set independently, using the module taken from Rolex’s own Cal. 3185, the previous generation movement from the GMT-Master II. It also manages to pack in a hacking feature and a date function, which is set via the ‘jumping’ 12-hour hand. It is an important step up for the brand, even utilizing a silicon balance spring—it is not, however, one of Rolex’s patented Syloxi components.
The Tudor Black Bay GMT is available on a choice of three bracelets. There is ‘Terra di Siena’ brown leather strap with a folding clasp, a black fabric strap with a burgundy stripe, and a polished and satin, three-link, riveted steel bracelet. What they have come up with is a perfect tribute to some of the most grail-like references from the past, updated with cutting-edge technology—and it is a blend that is sure to attract a wide and appreciative audience.
By adopting their own in-house calibers, the gap between Tudor and Rolex is getting narrower, in everything but price. While it may use solid 316L steel rather than the typical Rolex’s 904L, this robust travel companion represents superb value for money, with a quiet, restrained look that suits any occasion.
It was in 1968 (more than 50 years ago) that Omega stopped production of its Calibre 321 chronograph movement, which had been using since the 1940s. Since it was the very first movement with iconic and highly collectible Speedmaster (which debuted in 1957), Omega watches featured with this iconic and discontinued movement (replaced by the Calibre 861) later increased its value and desirability highly. What’s more, the Omega Caliber 321 is back now more than half a century later, there are no more exciting things than the return of one of the most legendary movements for collectors.
Except for the Speedmaster, the Omega Caliber 321 (which was based on the Lemania CH27) was also used in early Seamaster chronographs, as well as a range of other watches for many years (often under different names), and variations can be found inside celebrated timepieces by Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Vacheron Constantin. Because of its prevalence and important position within the history of wrist-mounted chronographs, the Caliber 321 has been choosing as a true icon of mechanical watchmaking by collectors formally.
We all know the most well-known Speedmaster of all time, fitted with an Omega Caliber 321 the first watch worn on the Moon, which makes the movement famous mostly. On the smallish side, but with both guts and grace, the manually-wound movement has 17 jewels, a frequency of 2.5 Hz (18,000 VPN), a power reserve of 44 hours, and features a 12-hour chronograph with running seconds.
Due to it has been endlessly praised on watch forums for many years, resulting in prices of Caliber 321-equipped pieces soared, now Omega has decided to start manufacturing this legendary movement again. Surely, not every fake rolex watch collector geeks out on movements. However, even those who do not can still understand the important position of the replica Omega Caliber 321 to the greater world of mechanical watchmaking.
Omega had to reverse engineer the Caliber 321, which features a monobloc column wheel that is regarded to be more reliable and aesthetically appealing than cam-actuated alternatives, and wonderful technical expertise to be required perfectly. Omega says it took a team of expert watchmakers, researchers, developers, and historians toiling in ‘total secrecy’ under the codename ‘Alaska 11’ to re-create the Calibre 321 more than two years. They used ‘tomography’ technology, a digital scanning method, on one of the more celebrated Caliber 321-equipped watches from the Omega Museum – the Speedmaster ST 105.003 that astronaut Eugene ‘Gene’ Cernan wore on the moon during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
Omega President and CEO Raynald Aeschlimann said it’s amazing that so many people are enthusiastic about the Calibre 321, we produced the last piece in 1968 and fans have never stopped talking about it. That shows how precious it is. We’re very proud to finally satisfy their requirements and have tried our best to make the move back perfectly.’ The new movements will now be added to the production lineup in the form of a dedicated Calibre 321 workshop at Omega HQ in Bienne, Switzerland. As of the honest fans, we are really excited that the new movement is back and we are expecting a more handsome and wonderful edition of Omega replica watches!
It is over the next month or so that we’re going to be running a series of color-coded stories, where we focus less on the movements and case details and more on the dials. They are actually brighter and bolder, the even better in quality. To kick things off we’ve rounded up a bunch of the best new blue dials because who doesn’t love blue? This versatile color can go from sporty to dressy in the blink of an eye from subtle to shimmering to downright electric.
Popular Replica Seiko Prospex ‘Save the Ocean’ SRPC91K1
Let’s begin with a dial that has it all, and at a price that’s difficult to beat. Yep, I’m talking about Seiko. Particularly, the latest take on the Turtle — the SRPC91K1, a conservation-oriented piece; a real showstopper of a dial that fades from pale to deep blue, all the while being interspersed with wavy lines, reminiscent of that most magnificent of mammals, the blue whale.
Amazing Fake Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5740
On the opposite end of the spectrum is another sporty number with a horizontally lined dial, this time from Patek. The latest take on the Nautilus, the QP-equipped reference 5740 was an obvious, and inevitable, inclusion on this list. And given its certified icon status, it’s obvious to see why.
Top Quality Omega Seamaster Diver 300
If minute repeaters and tourbillons aren’t your thing, and you’d much rather a bulletproof, do-anything all-rounder, Omega has your replica watch. The classic blue dial is back, now in ceramic, and with a laser-etched wave pattern no less.
Best Selling Replica Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 Blue Ceramic
Hublot’s big blue number ensures the “is a skeletonized dial a dial?” debate rears its head again (and how!), in spectacular form. If I’m totally honest, this blue dial is playing second fiddle to that frankly epic blue ceramic case. So what? It’s classic fake Hublot.
Cheap Replica Longines Record
So far we’ve had two showy, textured blue dials. The dial on this fake Longines Record might be fairly simple in comparison, but the real power here comes from the combo of starburst blue and red gold case. Plus the COSC-movement and aggressive price doesn’t hurt either.
Besides some new watches, Longines released its first ever annual calendar watch in the form of the new Longines Master Collection Annual Calendar watch as well. The Master Collection houses some of Longines’ most traditional and complicated fake watches. Therefore, it should be natural that the Master Collection Annual Calendar is somewhat understated in its aesthetics. It comes in a 40mm wide stainless steel case with short and curved lugs. The entire case is polished for a dressier appearance. The crown at 3 o’clock has no crown protectors, so it is simple to reach and operate. Water resistance is only 30m, which isn’t ideal but is suitable for a watch of its type.
The Master Collection Annual Calendar comes in four variants. You can get it with a black stamped ‘barleycorn’ dial with Roman numerals or a blue dial with a sunray finish with 12 stick hour indices. There are also two silver options, both with stamped ‘barleycorn’ finishes but one with large Arabic numerals and the other has diamond hour indices. The model that we got to handle is the silver dial version with Arabic numerals and it comes with a brown alligator leather strap with a triple-folding clasp.
Due to the large Arabic hour numerals in black, this version is arguably the most striking. The use of large black Arabic hour numerals also means that the watch is very easy to read. This is aided by the elegant blued steel hour, minute, and seconds hands, which provide a brilliant contrast to the silver dial with ‘barleycorn’ decoration. The watch also has a wide chapter ring around the dial featuring a minute track that has every fifth minute marked, the Longines logo at 12 o’clock, and a simple line of text that reads ‘Annual Calendar’ at 6 o’clock.
You have two apertures for the month and date at 3 o’clock. Different from some other annual calendar watches, there’s no day indication. For those not familiar with the annual calendar, it is a complication invented by Patek Philippe in 1996 and it enables the watch to differentiate between months with 30 and 31 days and automatically compensate for it. This means watch owners need not adjust the replica watches for months with 30 days. However, it still needs user intervention when transitioning from February to March, therefore the name annual calendar – it requires the user to adjust the calendar just once every year.
The annual calendar indications on this watch are understated, and I would not be surprised if most onlookers mistaken it for a simple day and date complication. My only gripe is that in placing the annual calendar indications at 3 o’clock, the ‘3’ for the hour marker is slightly cut at the edges. The black dial version with Roman numerals suffers from this too.
The movement of this replica watch within is the new Longines Caliber L897.2, which is a heavily modified version of the ETA 2892 with an added annual calendar complication module. On the surface, it looks just like any other dressy watch with a day-date complication, but look closer still and you’ll find that that the two apertures where one would normally expect to find the day-date indications are actually for something much more complex – an annual calendar.
Replica Watch Madness 2018 has officially unveiled recently. This year we took thirty-two watches, put them in head-to-head matchups and they will face off until there is an ultimate winner for three weeks. So, what’s going on with the winning watch?
For Matt, his ultimate winner was the replica OMEGA Speedmaster Racing watch. Its nostalgic feel traces back to the early days of the Speedmaster, before it ever went to the moon. This fake watch is a fan favorite and absolutely a strong contender to win it all.
Cameron is a man stood firmly behind his product, and his final pick was the Weiss Watch Company American Field Dial. This one may be a bit of a Cinderella story, but we like its chances. The Weiss is American-made is a modern beauty.
Our buddies over at Airows believe in doing life to the fullest. They are into cars, travel, design, gear, and adventure. There is no doubt that they are also seriously into popular replica watches. You can check out all their picks for the initial round of thirty-two together with their reasoning. Some of their options may surprise you. Who do they think will take it all? The replica Tudor is no longer just Rolex’s little brother. The Black Bay may be a sleeper pick, but it has serious legs.
Jay at Red Clay Soul is the quintessential southern sportsman, and his blog is full of products and places suitable for any gentleman below the Mason-Dixon. He celebrates the outdoors, good craftsmanship, and all things Americana. Recently he commemorated the birth of his son with a Tudor Black Bay. Therefore, we figured that would certainly be his ultimate pick in this year’s bracket. However, he surprised us.
This year’s list of replica watches for sale are varied to say the least. There is a few something for everybody on this bracket and we are eager to see which watch will be the last one standing when it’s all over. Then, is there any idea of your picks?
The fake Rolex Deepsea D Blue Dial watch has a gradient showing the decent of James Cameron’s submersible. This behemoth of a watch, the biggest in the Rolex fleet, is a totally impressive piece of engineering and the D-Blue edition is set for future classic status.
One of the trickiest Rolexes to quantify ever since its releasing, the Milgauss is technically a sports watch, seeing as it’s housed in an Oyster case, but a sports watch aimed at scientists.
Its releasing in 2007 with that watch, after the name was discontinued in 1988, retained the Milgauss’s USP—its resistance to magnetic fields by encasing the movement in a soft iron Faraday cage.
The watch’s name originates from the French phrase mille gauss, meaning 1000 gauss. Gauss is the measure of magnetic flux density, which is the thing that powered the Delorean in Back to The Future. But whatever they are, the Milgauss is impervious to 1000 of them.
Although the new generation was originally only available with a black or white dial, they remain among the most colorful of the brand’s sports offerings. The minute track and hour markers are accented in a vivid orange, as is the name under the 12 o’clock position and the second hand, fashioned into the shape of a lightning bolt in a fit of uncharacteristic replica Rolex whimsy.
For the 50th anniversary edition, the brand launched a new version, representing ‘glace verte’, to stand for the green tint on the watch’s sapphire crystal, using a process so complicated that even Rolex haven’t bothered patenting it.
They upped the color stakes even more by releasing the Z Blue in 2004, an identical watch to the anniversary model but with an electric blue Rolex dial (what else?).
What had been the dark horse of the Rolex range and a struggler regarding to sales found a strong audience beyond the laboratory. Still very much the odd one out in the sports range, it’s that exact quality, coupled with its bold scheme of contrasting colors, that has won it its laurels. Where Submariners and GMT-Masters are obvious choices for those seeking out the ultimate tool watch, the quirks of the Milgauss make it a much more special piece.
Omega’s investment in Emirates Team New Zealand’s bid to capture the America’s Cup has just paid off big time. The Kiwis scored a historic victory against Oracle Team USA, backed by rival watch brand Panerai, in Bermuda. Land Rover BAR, backed by Zenith, was knocked out in qualifying races as ETNZ emerged as a major threat to Oracle’s supremacy.
It seemed a little late in the schedule when the replica Omega announced two special edition replica watches for the Cup several weeks ago. What a pity, it looks like they knew their teams would come out on top. This fake Omega equipped the winning crew with a uniquely-made Speedmaster designed for yacht racing, the Speedmaster X-33 Regatta ETNZ. Its regatta function permitted the team to keep track of the critical five-minute countdown to the start of each race. The brand introduced a commemorative Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black ETNZ edition as well.
Omega’s partnership with Emirates Team New Zealand actually began in 1995. It was when they first won the America’s Cup with legendary round-the-world skipper Sir Peter Blake. The team won again in 2000 and came very close in 2013 though that bid ultimately failed. Meanwhile, Omega replica launched two watches for this event as well as increased its sponsorship over the years. This year, their logo was prominently featured on the ETNZ boat.
“Everyone at Omega is thrilled with this incredible result,” says Omega President and CEO Raynald Aeschlimann. “We’ve followed ETNZ’s America’s Cup journey from the start and always believed they could win. They came to Bermuda with an inspiring team spirit along with the best innovation possible and it was my personal pleasure to spend time with them and cheer them on. It’s a privilege for our brand to have played a part.”
Such a trophy as this which dates from1851 is an honor. What’s more, they get awarded for their efforts they get an added perk. ETNZ essentially holds the chance to make the rules and pick the next location for this prestigious event. This means it will almost surely take place in Auckland, New Zealand under the auspices of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron. While Zenith boss Jean-Claude Biver is likely to be fuming at the reversal of fortune, it wasn’t a total loss. In terms of fake watches, Panerai’s limited edition pieces were definitely the most amazing. Omega replica now has time to develop even greater America’s Cup watches and with the winners in their corner, we expect something pretty great.
