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.”

The Submariner 116610 is powered by Rolex’s Caliber 3135 Perpetual, a movement that has been a staple of their lineup for decades. The movements of Rolex are known for their simplicity and reliability, and the Cal. 3135 is no exception. This 31 jewel movement features an anti-magnetic blue Parachrom hairspring for a smooth reading and a convenient 48 hour power reserve. rolex
Naturally, like most up to date Rolex movements, it’s self-winding and has an automatic date change function. Also, the Caliber 3135 is chronometer certified, a certification that only the most accurate movements can receive. In short, if you take proper care and maintenance of your Rolex Submariner 116610, the movement should continue to produce accurate readings for several lifetimes of wear.
The ref. 116610 retailed for $8,950, which recently went up from $8,550 during Rolex’s much-anticipated January 2021 price increase. On the used market, that price will be even higher, as stainless steel Rolex replica watches are so sought-after that they are completely sold out at authorized dealers, with waiting lists in many places stretching back several years. You could potentially get it on the used market for around $10,000, which still represents a great deal on one of the most iconic fake watches of all time.
If you’re not willing to join the long waiting list to buy at a retail store, your best choice is to buy on the used Rolex market. Every replica rolex watch we sell is a 100% certified pre-owned watch and every part inside and out is original. There’s no better way to find the perfect pre-owned Rolex Submariner 116610 for your wrist than to buy it in our online store, so shop our newest releases immediately before someone else gets a hold of your desired watch.
Rolex is also well-known for its use of trench setting, an extremely secure method of setting smaller diamonds by placing them closely in the grooves of a trench. To ensure an aesthetically pleasing and secure setting, Rolex insists on 100% size-matching of all diamonds used in its watches, which are individually sorted through a specially created computer program to ensure complete accuracy.
High quality diamonds combined with top quality settings make all Rolex diamond fake watches look cold and luxurious. However, to truly appreciate their brilliance, we recommend you see them up close and personal. The best way to do this is to shop around and buy one for yourself.

When it comes to replica Rolex watches, a few words have lost all meaning. “Underrated,” “Sleeper” and “underrated” may not be completely meaningless at this point, but we’re getting there fast. Frankly, social media and articles like this won’t help the avid hunter, but you’d be surprised how many people I meet know nothing about Explorer II. In this article, I’m going to talk about the Explorer II Ref. 16570, which was the 40mm version that was produced for 22 years, from 1989 through 2011. Low-key design, dual time zone functionality, near indestructibility, and with a doggedly non-luxurified attitude, the Explorer II 16570 may be the best value fashionable Rolex sports watch out there. Rolex Explorer II
Of course, I’m a bit biased towards the Explorer II. It has always been my favorite Rolex sports replica watch, hands down. Actually, the first Rolex I bought was a 216570 black dial. While the Submariner, GMT-Master II, and Daytona get all the spotlights, the Explorer II has been Rolex’s low-key utilitarian tool watch that is also a real travel watch for decades now. A bit of the black sheep of the Rolex sports-watch family, the Explorer II is the Prince Harry to the GMT-Master II’s Prince William.
Introduced as a watch for spelunkers, the Explorer II design is function over form. The darkness in some of these caves makes it impossible to tell whether it is day or night, which is the reason for the 24-hour hand and fixed bezel. While the original Explorer II Ref. 1655 was not at all meant to be a travel watch, the 16570 introduced an independent hour hand that functionally made the watch a dual time zone travel watch.
The 16550 also introduced the two dial options that remain to this day, with a black or white (aka Polar) dial. The Polar dial models had a paint defect that caused the dial to slowly turn into a cream color, making them highly coveted by collectors. Inside the 16570 is the caliber 3185 movement (models post-2006 have the slightly updated 3186), which was introduced in 1988 and was used in the Explorer II and the GMT-Master II.
Though they are actually the same fake watch, there have been various serial numbers associated with Explorer II 16570 watches over the years that have mostly subtle differences.
Finally, some of the post-2006 16570 models have the caliber 3186 movement, which was upgraded with a parachrom hairspring. There is a bit of a “wobble” from the GMT hand on the 3185 when adjusting the time, which this new hairspring on the 3186 managed to prevent. This is not a huge difference, but Rolex is constantly improving and reiterating.

We know that the Submariner 116619 is crafted from solid 18k white gold, which certainly makes this more of a luxury sports watch than a Rolex tool watch. However, like all Rolex dive watches, the Submariner 116619 is built for the task at hand should the need arise – but much more on that later.
To the untrained eye, this may look like a standard stainless steel Submariner, but it’s far from your average dive watch. As a news model, this fake Rolex Submariner is outfitted with a unidirectional rotating bezel fitted with a Cerachrom ceramic insert, in addition to thicker hands and larger hour markers on the dial.
But, the most striking feature of the white gold Submariner ref. 116619 is the vibrant blue color of the dial and bezel, which is the reason for its “Smurf” nickname. It’s worth noting that the blue dial on the Smurf is different than the blue dials fitted to other gold and two-tone Submariner replica watches. While blue Submariner dials have historically been a dark blue with a metallic sunburst finish, the dial on the Smurf is a bright flat blue color with a glossy lacquered surface. watches
In spite of the fact that very few Submariner ref. 116619 watches will probably never go for a dive given its luxurious 18k white gold construction, it is still built as a professional diving watch. As such, like all modern Rolex Submariners, the reference 116619 can safely plunge to 1,000 feet deep below the surface of the ocean.
What’s more, to accommodate thick diving suits, the Submariner ref. 116619 features the clever Glidelock extension system on the clasp of its white gold Oyster bracelet.No tools are required to make the bracelet shorter or longer, and the bracelet can be expanded up to about 20mm in 2mm increments. Should the bracelet need to be adjusted, simply slide the Glidelock mechanism until the perfect fit is reached.
It’s said that Chromalight lasts longer than traditional green-glowing lume and is easier to see in the dark. Apart from the luminescent hands and hour markers, there’s also a luminous plot on the bezel to make tracking immersion times while diving even easier.
Powering the time and date functions of the Submariner ref. 116619 “Smurf” is the popular replica Rolex in-house Caliber 3135 automatic movement, which offers users a 48 hour of power reserve. First introduced in the late 1980s, the Cal 3135 movement is a reliable and proven workhorse, and it is widely considered to be among the best mechanical movements for everyday wear and use.
With its dramatic look and hefty price tag, it’s not surprising that the solid 18k white gold Submariner ref. 116619 is a famous model among celebrities. We’ve spotted it on the wrist of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, actor Will Arnett, rapper Tinie Tempah, and even actor, comedian, and musician Jack Black.

Panerai watches

Following Panerai’s first successful partnership with America’s cup team Luna Rossa, which led to the Luna Rossa Submersible, the Italian watchmaker continued its partnership with the 36th America’s cup challenger with three new models.

ar 5948-2
The three new replica watches retain the same basic aesthetics as the first generation — most notably the dial, which USES the real Luna Rossa — but they are unique to each other and employ a large number of different materials and complex parts.
The Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa Regatta 47mm is the biggest of the trio, and the substantial case, which measures 19.94mm thick, is resplendent with Panerai’s Carbotech case construction, which involves layering carbon fibre and then bonding the structure with polymers. The net result of this complex case material is that, although the dimensions of the Luna Rosa Regatta are among the biggest of any rolex replica watch on sale today, the timepiece itself is comparatively quite light.
What’s more, the highly spec’d movement hosts a number of practical functions aimed at aiding the members of Team Luna Rossa on their storied endeavor to break the America’s Cup record. As a result, in addition to hours, minutes and small seconds, the Luna Rossa Regatta also features a regatta countdown, flyback chronograph and a zero reset seconds.
The Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa Chrono Flyback 44mm distinguishes itself from its larger brethren by being finished in a black micro sandblasted ceramic case that measures 18.40mm thick. The apparent benefits of ceramics are twofold, as the material not only provides unmatched scratch resistance, but is significantly lighter than steel.
Last but certainly not least, the Panerai Luminor Luna Rossa GMT 44mm is hewn from hard-wearing and lightweight titanium, which is then given a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating to achieve its black aesthetic. The Luna Rossa GMT’s case measures 15.65mm thick, making it the slimmest watch of the trio.
Apart from the distinctive sailcloth dial, all three of the fake watches feature a 12-sided screw-back case that is DLC coated and features an engraved motif of the Luna Rossa logo, the Luna Rossa AC75 monohull and a sketch of the America’s Cup.
The trio is fitted with a “Ponte Vecchio” black calf leather strap with contrasting white stitching, and all leather straps are equipped with trapezoidal wiredrawing titanium buckles and buckles treated with black DLC coating.

Two years ago, TAG Heuer’s biggest news at Baselworld was the long-awaited and hugely popular Autavia’s return to the market after more than 30 years of silence. This year, the brand extends the contemporary Octavia family, so far only including timepieces, into a complete collection, with other pillars of TAG Heuer such as Carrera, Monaco, and links. Here are seven new references to the introduction of all three hand timings with dates, which will introduce new colors and case materials, and feature new technological breakthroughs in their movement.
The vintage replica watch upon which the new models are based, itself based on an early 20th century dashboard timer, was designed by none other than Jack Heuer, scion of the watch manufacturer’s founding family and also the driving force behind other 1960s icons like the Carrera. The rounded case, measuring 42 mm in diameter, incorporates the beveled lugs of the original models from the 1960s, as well as the extra-large winding crown, an element encouraged by historical pilots’ watches that enabled glove-wearing flyboys to use it more easily.
There are five models with stainless steel cases, two with blue dials and bezels; two with black dials and bezels, and one with a gray dial and steel bezel. The blue-combo and black-combo models are available on dark brown or light brown leather straps or steel bracelets with accompanying NATO straps, while the gray-dial model is offered on a brown leather strap. As per watch-world trends of the past few years, the replica TAG Heuer has built the watches so that all of these straps and bracelets are easily interchangeable, without the use of tools, by means of two push-buttons on the underside of the cases, whose casebacks are engraved with renderings of a tire and a propeller, a visual nod the watch’s design heritage.
Also in synch with an increasing trend, the remaining two new Autavia models feature cases made of bronze. Measuring 42 mm in diameter like their steel brethren, the bronze models, whose casebacks are made of titanium, are available with either a smoked green or brown dial, with rotating bezels in either black or brown ceramic, individually.
What’s perhaps most famous about the new Autavia timepieces is their use of a newly developed carbon-composite hairspring in their movement, the COSC chronometer-certified Caliber 5. An innovative in-house creation of fake TAG Heuer’s development team in La Chaux-de-Fonds, which made its debut in January inside the Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph, this hairspring is engineered to be lightweight, low-density, completely antimagnetic, and virtually impervious to both gravity and shocks. Combined with the aluminum alloy balance wheel, this combination gives the self-winding motion an “isographic” that represents the consistency and stability of the regulating device.

A few years ago, the biggest plane ever made in France took off. It was in New York that Saint-Exupery would write the notable children’s book. IWC Replica is tipping its proverbial hat to the transatlantic voyage that laid a solid foundation of Saint-Exupery’s success as not only a pilot, but also an author, with the release of the 80Y Timezoner Chronograph Edition.
The flight took 28 hours and 27 minutes, and crossed many time zones along the way. Eventually, the replica watch making great contributions to the Saint-Exupery is built on a Timezoner platform. It makes use of the automatic in-house Caliber 89760, with a 68-hour power reserve. The bezel is fashioned from ceramic in a shade of brown that matches the dial too. In the six o’clock register you’ll see the “A” from Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s signature together another nod to his voyage: New York and Paris appear in red on the bezel. The fake watch’s size stands up to the larger-than-life legacy of Antoine de Saint-Exupery, with a 46mm wide and 16.8mm tall steel case.
There is a stylized Latecoère 521 in motion on the case-back. The piece is limited to 80 examples, and like the rest of The Little Prince watches that IWC has produced for many years, a portion of the proceeds of the replica watch will be channeled to the Antoine de Saint Exupery Youth Foundation.
In a communication with Christian Knoop, IWC’s creative director, I asked what the process looks like to take the features of something like a flying boat, specifically the Latecoère 521, and translate it into something as small as a watch. The industry has its old tricks, like using a piece of a plane in the construction of the watch, or lifting the typeface from a cockpit and using it on the dial. But how does a manufacturer avoid trite design decisions and take something so grand and distill it down to a visual language on a watch? Turns out I was thinking about it too literally.
He has a point. This fake watch has an interesting and impressive feature. The wearer can cross time zones by pressing the box and rotating. Every time you click on a city, the hour hand jumps. The date will turn over when the date line is crossed, as well. The bezel is coupled to the movement, and yet the watch still maintains a respectable water resistance of 6 bar. Advanced technology comes in waterproof boxes. Sounds like an airship, doesn’t it?

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.

Ttourbillon and lunar phase indicators do look good, the dual-time zone feature will always be one of the most useful watch complications in the real world. This ability to know time in two places at once is invaluable to the busy traveler, and can be wrapped in a fashionable and versatile package in the right hands.
First released in 2012, it is the brand’s latest all-original product. Aesthetics certainly diverged when it first appeared, but they seem to be maturing over time, and even those who still can’t accept this unusual look tend to appreciate design efficiency. There’s a lot of information on display – in addition to its dual time zone display, Sky-Dweller are also Rolex’s first-ever annual calendar.
It is an off-center GMT disc with a lower hour markers removed, the most common reason for hesitation about the appearance of the Sky-Dweller and the problem that Rolex seems to be trying to solve with the latest generation of replica watches. While the old dials contrast with the rest of the dial, the latest dials and dials are the same color as the surface, blending together as a less distracting element. Now, there’s nothing wrong with being able to tell an Sky-Dweller from a Datejust at a second glance.

There’s a reason to call it the Breitling Navitimer, which was first launched in 1952 when Chronomat was a success and became the world’s first smart watch. Before the concept of wearable technology was just a futuristic flight straight out of a Dick Tracy comic book, the Navitimer made life easier for actual fliers.
The chronograph, with its iconic circular slide rule, can be used by pilots to determine a range of different aviation-based calculations, including key information such as fuel consumption, time and distance calculations. It was because of this utility that Navitimer were officially adopted by AOPA. Although its party parts have long been replaced by the unfathomable computing power of the ordinary flight deck, it is still one of the top choices for professionals and those who love everything in the air.
The Navitimer 1 B04 GMT 48, launched in 2014, is one of a handful of luxury replica watches released over the same period, including a range of 46mm non- GMT dials. As the name suggests, this dual-time zone watch weighs 48mm, continuing Breitling’s tradition of making giant watches that can be read at a glance in the cramped confines of the cockpit.
Dimensions make the dial at least relatively legible, spreading out elements as much as possible, although it will never be the minimalist. After inserting a three-coordinate layout of slide rules, tachometers, date, and chronograph sub-dials, adding GMT scales to the inner circumference had little effect on readability. It follows Navitimer’s iconic and unique look, an aesthetic instantly recognizable as coming from Breitling, a universal cult. On the inside, the internal caliber B04 is basically a branch of the brand’s first in-house movement, B01, with the GMT module bolted on. It operates at 4Hz, retains 70 hours of standby time and, most importantly, is visible through the sapphire case.

When it comes to vintage watches, a truly historic watchmaker I have to mention is Breguet, the jewel of Swatch Group’s prestige brands, which has combined the traditional craftsmanship and modern watchmaking techniques perfectly. Few brands can contain two elements including traditional and modern at the same time. Here what I talk about is the reference 5140BA-29-9W6 Breguet Classique 5140 in 18k yellow gold with a white enamel dial, which is a lovely dress-style wrist watch with a very traditional appearance at least.  watches for men
Personally, many of Breguet’s more simple timepieces can be the most satisfying daily wear watch. With its clean time-only dial and in-house made automatic movement, the Classique 5140 family surely belongs to that category.
Except its inherent legibility and elegant looks, what I love most about this best replica watch is that it truly feels like an antique made today. With 40mm wide case and in 18k yellow gold, this Classique 5140 has an authentic oven-baked enamel dial and flame-blued steel hands as well. The techniques used to produce these parts can date back to hundreds of years and very similar processes are used to produce them today. Many times I suppose the modern “retro-inspired” watches may emulate traditional designs, but from a construction and materials standpoint they are still very much like modern watches. However the Classique 5140 benefits from having an “antique feel” even if it is a new timepiece. This is related to the careful finishing of the gold case, as well as the organic feel of the dial and hands, which have their tiny imperfections, feel more alive and rich personality than something “perfect” that comes out of a big machine.
While not all Breguet Classique 5140 timepieces feature enamel dials, other models in the collection have in-house guilloche machined dials which have a different, albeit equally captivating appearance. Enamel dial has the most legibility as well as a graceful looks which is very difficult to reproduce in lacquer or other manufacturing techniques. Enamel dials begin as baked white-color dials that are printed or painted with enamel paint, and then baked again. Actually it is a form of ceramic, the baking process make the colors on enamel dial permanent. Therefore, it’s the durability and permanence of the colors and printing on enamel dials that made them begin to extremely popular. A neat little “hidden” feature in Breguet’s enamel dials is their “secret signature. ” It’s basically a secondary Breguet logo on the dial between the main logo and where the hands intersect. In fact, this is a vestige of original Breguet timepieces when things like secret text on dials were done in order to prevent unauthorized copying. It’s just a good story added to a historic-style wrist watch today.
In this case the enamel dial has two levels, while the subsidiary seconds dial is both recessed and slightly asymmetric, which is interesting and adds fake watch a bit more personality. It also helps prevent having to cut off the 6 o’ clock hour marker while having that size of subsidiary dial. Even if I’m really curious what the dial would like look with little markers in there, it won’t bother me that the subsidiary seconds dial has no markers in it.
The hour markers themselves are in traditional “Breguet” Arabic numerals matched with pomme-style “Breguet” hands. Detailing on the hands is cute, and it always look eye-pleasing when the blued color derived from the baking process against the white enamel face. It’s basically that traditional pocket watches are most inspiration for the dial, therefore, element like the Breguet logo are scaled down as if the dial were originally designed to be in a larger size (such as on a pocket watch). Some models have increased the size of dial elements (numerals and logo) to match the proportion of a wrist watch better. What should I say it that there’s no any issues of the the Classique 5140 dial.
Although it’s may not the largest size, 40mm wide is a larger-sized dress watch for Breguet. This is what the size I personally prefer to. The case is comfortable and the angled lugs don’t appear too long which are even fit small to medium-sized wrists. Typical coined-edge decor is on the side of the case, and the caseback is modeled to design based on some pocket replica watches. In a word, its soul apparently still thinks it is part pocket watch though the Classique 5140 wears very well as a wrist watch. In addition to, a brown-toned alligator leather strap with matching yellow gold buckle which is attached to the case. If you are a watch enthusiast like me you won’t miss it, right?
