A lot of people – even seasoned collectors – can find themselves confused when trying to distinguish between original and authentic watches. The trick? Stop thinking of the words as synonymous. In this guide, you’ll learn about the big differences between these two categories of luxury watches and how it can help you be a more educated shopper and collector.An authentic watch is undisputed in origin, and not a replica or copy. This means that in order for something to be authentic, it has to be 100% real. Authentic watches are genuine pieces from brands – think of the big players like Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Patek Philippe and more.We use the word authentic in the industry to distinguish between genuine timepieces and fakes that are widely copied and sold. When a dealer gets their hands on a watch, the first thing they are going to do is check the authenticity of the watch; and as a buyer, you should be doing the same. As a buyer, the first step in guaranteeing you get an authentic watch is by always buying directly from the brand or a trusted and reputable dealer who can ensure that the watch is authentic.But how can you tell whether a watch is authentic? Well, we’ve created some great guides to help educate buyers and collectors – both on what’s real, and how to spot inauthentic details. Head over here to check out our official guide on the Top Ways To Spot A Fake Rolex.To be an original watch, the timepiece has to be an authentic watch. Because when you see a watch listed as original, it means that it is both a genuine timepiece from that brand, and one that has not had any later-era updates or alterations since it was manufactured and originally sold.Original watches are:Authentic Have not had parts replaced with later-era equivalents or been modified/altered in any way Sometimes in the industry, we also refer to original watches as ‘honest’ watches. And when we look at pre-owned timepieces – especially vintage watches, we often look for originality. This means we look for things like correct factory-installed parts, whether they’re scratched, chipped or faded.We also look for things like custom details that were added after purchasing, like diamonds or enhanced bezels which were later-era additions and unoriginal to the piece. There are even many buyers and collectors who will favor watches that have never had a polishing or servicing that could have hindered the natural aging process of the timepiece.
First, hour markers and hands on black dial are applied white luminescence, this lume material is imported from Switzerland, its lume color and durability are the same as that used on genuine Submariner watch. The hands, hour markers and bezel pearl all emit green light in the dark. Second, the replica is equipped with a Super Clone Asian 3135 movement, we call this movement SA3135 here. Some people will doubt whether the replica 16610LV is equipped with SA3135 or not, but I have to say ETA 2836 and SA3135 give two different winding feeling, when you have a chance to wind the two movements, you will find their difference easily without opening the case back.Although SA3135 makes the replica closer to genuine watch, I still suggest people buy the replica with Asian ETA 2836, which is much cheaper. Besides, SA3135 movement is completed on the base of a Chinese automatic, which means too many movement parts have been modified on the base movement, I think the stability of SA3135 should be doubted, also its repairing rate may be higher than A2836. That’s my opinion, welcome to leave comments here to describe what’s in your mind.Every tough man will like the watch that has some military style.

Great care goes into every aspect of a Rolex wristwatch, from the intricate movement that beats within the case to the lume on the dial and the metals and gems that decorate its exterior. It takes about a year to produce each watch that hits the market, so you can rest assured that the Rolex you are investing in is of the absolute highest quality. Gold and diamond Rolex watches are among the most coveted for their powerful and luxurious aesthetic. Today, we will take a closer look at Rolex’s collection of diamond watches, including which models offer diamonds, how much they cost, and the ever-growing risky world of aftermarket customizations.Every stone on a Rolex watch is meticulously examined and chosen for its clarity and quality. Every diamond is virtually perfect and will hold its value well. The gems are then each set by hand by an expert gemologist with the same care that is afforded to a fine piece of jewelry. This close attention to detail creates a stunning wristwatch that will stand the test of time. While it’s most common to see a diamond-set dial or diamond bezel, some watches are also adorned with diamonds on their lugs or bracelet.As modern watch tastes shift, fewer models in the Rolex catalog are available with factory-set diamonds. Sports models that were once produced with diamonds, such as the Submariner and GMT Master II, have since-been replaced in favor of less opulent references. However, there is still a great demand for diamond Rolex watches, and the brand continues to offer timepieces adorned with factory-set diamonds, such as the Day-Date, Datejust, Date, Daytona, Yacht-Master, and Pearlmaster. These diamond Rolexes are tasteful and thoughtfully designed to offer just enough opulence without appearing too flashy, a fact that has contributed greatly to their success.

This time I will share another vintage Rolex here, it is Milgauss 6541 replica. Genuine watch was published by Rolex in the 50s, although not as popular as other vintage models like Paul Newman, GMT 1675, Submariner Vintage 5510 and other vintage PAMs. My watch supplier told me that all vintage Rolex models in our market are manufactured by the same factory, including this Milgauss 6541, which has attracted me due to its special dial details.It is not a replica that should be called a super clone like other replicas made by Noob, J12 and V6, but I love it just because of its retro style and some special symbols. Case is 38mm in diameter, black bezel has a big triangle mark in orange color at 12 o’clock, there are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 digits and triangle markers all in white. The bezel could be unidirectional rotating. Dial is black and has special patterns, all hands are in silver tone, unique lighting second hand has a red tip that is very eye catching. Three-dimensional silver triangle marker at 3, 6 and 9, other hour markers are all yellow dots. The word “MILGAUSS” under Rolex Crown Logo is in orange color, which exactly matches the orange triangle bezel marker. I can not check how close the replica is made to genuine, but I already has all necessary features of those vintage Milgauss watches produced in that period. If you are a collector of vintage Rolex and hard to find a genuine Milgauss 6541, this one could become a perfect alternative.The replica uses a clone ETA 2836-2 automatic movement, here I made a movement test, see the result on the photo below, it said that there is only one second error each day, and the beating frequency is also the same as genuine ETA 2836-2 movement, which is 28800vph. In a word, this replica not only does well in acting as a vintage Milgauss 6541, but also offers the wearer accurate timing. It is worth buying.Today, I am about to introduce one Panerai replica watch that is engraved with Florentine motifs. Yes, it is the latest Luminor 1950 Firenze 3 Days, with a reference PAM 972. This is not the first PAM which Panerai published with Florentine motifs on case and movement. We know that PAM 604 and PAM 672 also have these special engravings, but these two PAMs are Radiomir limited editions. For PAM 972, it is absolutely the first Luminor watch with Florentine motifs. Now, in Panerai watch family, PAM 972 is also the only one Panerai Luminor watch with such unique engravings. Based on the traditional PAM 372, Panerai made this engraved version PAM 972. The replica PAM 972 Firenze here is made by V9, which is a new factory. It is said that this V9 factory now makes the best Rolex Submariner replica watches, but I do not think so. However, this Panerai Luminor Firenze PAM 972 replica made by V9 has a good quality.I do not know why Panerai makes these special engraved PAMs, whatever, the main purpose I think is to show respect to Firenze, which is the design inspiration of early Panerai watches. Actually the design concept of many modern Panerai models is also coming from this old Italy city.
Initially only available in White or Yellow Rolesor (Rolex’s name for a combination of steel and gold), they were just successful enough for an all-steel reference with a smooth bezel to follow in 2012.Yet it seemed to be too much of a design departure for either the traditional customer base or else the brand itself, and the Datejust II was discontinued by 2016. The Datejust 41 replaced it as a very much a scaled-up version of the 36mm piece, with the classic dimensions intact.But there was always a relatively small but enthusiastic audience for the DJII, as decidedly masculine a dress watch as you are likely to find. Issued with a range of dial options (although, strangely, only ever produced on the Oyster bracelet) it offers plenty of choices and is the ideal model for a larger wrist.Rolex is very proud of their patented Cerachrom ceramic alloy, and rightly so. Scratchproof, fade-proof, nigh on unbreakable, it is the perfect material for the brand’s bezels and it has been rolled out across most of the tool watch collection. On the Daytona, it is fitted to models forged from platinum, all three flavors of gold, and the only two steel pieces left in the contemporary lineup – those lusted after models which are more difficult to get ahold of than a Wonka factory golden ticket.But Cerachrom is a fairly new invention. Previous iterations of the stainless steel Daytona have always had steel bezels, something no longer obtainable if you are buying brand new. The last reference to have one was the ref. 116520, which ran from 2000 to 2016, and was the first Daytona to house Rolex’s own in-house chronograph movement, the Cal. 4130.
Omega Planet Ocean series was so popular in the world, it even has good performance in the movie 007, which has left deep impression to us accompanying with this exciting action movie. Today I am going to recommend a perfect replica of this series. Since it with advanced technology, cool matching color, dynamic appearance as the genuine. So I believe that you may fall in love with such perfect chronograph definitely.This replica Omega contains with key factors in its whole structure. Of cause, ceramic plays an important role in this replica. Its diameter was 45mm, and it case was made of solid 316 stainless steel, matched with a black ceramic bezel, Arabic numerals and scales in front of us clearly . Bezel can be hit easily when diving, but the hard ceramic can protect it from damage effectively. It was really an ideal material of bezel. In its black dial, we can see that six, nine,twelve this three Arabic numeral markers with orange coating, which can catch our eye at the first time with such bright color. Besides,the markers and scales has coated with super luminous so that can help diver read their diving time easily. The minute hand and bezel with green luminous, markers and hour hand will appear anther color, blue. With different color in luminous so as to distinguish easily. Diver can distinguish diving time and normal time quickly. That design was so considerate because this function was so important to diver. I think it was rather necessary to concern about their safety. The date display window was set in the palace of three o’clock, it was so clear since it with white big number and black background to create striking contrast in visual effect.
