Today there is quite a high premium on original vintage pieces simply because they’re extremely rare and becoming increasingly harder to find. Decades ago, when people bought luxury watches like Rolex for example, it was perfectly normal for them to get the watch serviced, polished, or have parts replaced if you scratched or dented them up. The problem is that while they were done by the company with authentic later-era parts, they still weren’t original parts or features of the watch. Since this was such a common practice, today it’s really special – and highly valuable – if a vintage watch is totally original.When posed with the question of which watch to buy and when, every industry “expert” probably begins their answer with some variation of the same caveat: Buy for love, not for money. Watch collecting is a wild and unpredictable hobby. Auction prices for classic models have been known to hit eight figures (and then some), but most of the Rolex watches out there depreciate the moment you strap them on your wrist.I have a young friend who is ready to buy his first luxury watch. He’s been thinking about it for weeks (good boy), but every few days he calls me (bad boy) and labors the same point: He wants a watch that is an investment (even worse boy). There exists in modern watch collecting a problem: collectibility is now treated as a selling point. But the problem with everybody and their dogs knowing that something is collectible is that everybody and their dogs are quite likely to collect it.The most expensive wristwatch ever sold was the Rolex Daytona worn by Paul Newman himself. It fetched $17. million at a 2017 auction. That’s a pretty good price for a watch that was so unpopular when it was initially launched that it lingered on dealers’ shelves with relatively few actually making their way onto customers’ wrists. One of those wrists happened to be Paul Newman, who had reputedly been bought the watch by his wife, Joanne Woodward. And it isn’t that she made a sound investment, but rather her purchase created an investment piece by her gifting it to her stratospherically famous husband.
Its case is made of 316 stainless steel also decorates with anti-reflective coating, it is not only generous in shape but also has a good performance to protect the watch. We can see this big dial is near full of all the places, it with simple style but it is easy in collocation and never out of fashion.The most important points we need to mention is that its capability is never affected even though it is simple in shape. When we see carefully, we find that it has another characteristic. Its second and minute hand separate in two place to display. In left, the place of nine o’clock, it is a small second dial. In right,the place of three o’clock is a dial of power reserve, we can see its energy situation clearly. Decorating with red color in this small dial, can let us feel that it is not so single in color matching. it has a good balance in two side. At the place of six o’clock, it is a display of date. This is really a creative design in color matching.
When I first see this replica, I feel amazing for its super thin case. Yes, it is only 9.5 mm , which perfectly fits your wrist.

It is elegant and has a strong gentlemen feeling since its size is 40mm and with solid 316 stainless steel. Its case is polished well and the special design of side makes this replica mroe elegant.When we observe it more careful, you will find that it has a lot of details reveal its simple whole style. With three simple hands and a display for date. It expresses its unique style through these low-key and delicate details. At the place of twelve o’clock on white dial, there is one red label. Its dial with scratch-proof sapphire crystal, no matte in different light, can show a wonderful view. Simple white dial, silver stick markers, cool black leather strap, elegant clasp, all of these details are so delicate, but it follows its simple idea in whole watch. All these successful performance is related to its pursuing to be perfect. What’s more, it is a high replica that is equipped with the powerful movement ETA 2892, which makes it has more advantages in stability. This replica is really skillful in watch-making technology. Anyway, elegant case design and superior performance are the most key advantages for this replica.
When we talking about the world-famous watch brand Omega, I think most of watch fans may be familiar with the series of Planer Ocean very much. Its leading technology of movement, cool color collocation, and its dynamic appearance, all these classic characteristic may be an appreciated view in wrist. Today I felt so exciting to share one outstanding replica of this series to you guys. It has deduced all classic and unique factors which were the same as the genuine, but the only difference between two of them was the price. You may be so surprised to own such excellent replica just need to cost little money. So now let’s know something about it briefly.This replica Omega Planet Ocean has ultra big dial, its diameter was 45.5mm. Its case was made of solid stainless steel 316. Only just this big size and tough material, have already made us feel the its sport style and it was more masculine in deed. There are three big steel Arabic numerals was embossed in the black dial steadily in the place of 6:00,9:00,12:00. The date display window was set at 3:00 position. And the other bar markers were surround its big steel hands . Besides, its hands and scales, markers has been gone through the process of super luminous coating. it was so considerate to help diver read diving time easily. You can see polished steel with bright white in day, but you still can see it shinning with blue color when you stay in darkness. But in order to help divers read their diving time in any situation. Minute hand and bezel scales will show green color. This function can help divers distinguish diving time and normal time quickly. In addition, diving was a dangerous sport actually. So it was very necessary to have this function because any detail was connected with their life.
An Asian clone 2836 or 2813 is also available, and the replica with such clone movement is much cheaper. However, if I were you, I will choose a genuine ETA version, because it works more accurate and the watch will serve you longer time.Two big difference lies in the new Sea-Dweller 126600 and previous models, one is the case diameter, the other is that this one has a cyclops at 3 o’clock. The bezel of the replica 126600 looks more robust and the clicking tooth is more obvious than Submariner. By the way, there is blue superlume applied on our markers and hands. Here are some more details of the replica in the following:Movement: Genuine Swiss ETA 2836, Hacking Feature Case: 316L Stainless Steel, 43mm*14mm, Uni-directional Ceramica Black Bezel Dial: Superlumed Black Dial Crystal: Sapphire Bracelet: Steel with Flip Lock Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 50M Hi Susan I would like to give some feedback which you can put on your site if you want to:I have received my Rolex submariner and am so pleased with the watch. The detailing is near perfect and the weight is the same as the original. It is a substantial chunk on your wrist and I love it!I have to admit that I doubted the truthfulness of wrist watch spot when a few days went by leading up to Christmas and I had little response after I had made payment.I quickly became angry thinking that I had been conned.This lack of response was soon explained and since that time I have had prompt responses to my emails all the way up to and post delivery of my watch.I am now in the process of ordering my second time piece!Maybe you will mistake this watch as a Submariner when see it at the first glance. I though it was a vintage Submariner made by Rolex in the 50s, it has a very close appearance to Sub 5513 or 1680. However, the watch is Tudor, which is a sub brand of Rolex. Owning a Rolex is the dream of many people, but it is unreachable because most Rolex watches are sold at high prices, the appearance of Tudor makes their dream come true. Now this replica even makes these people easier to get a good Submariner watch at a very low price.If you did not notice the dial, you could even think it is a Submariner watch.

Black diving-style bezel is engraved with markers, the bezel is uni-directional rotating, the whole watch is brushed, while the two steel crown protectors are polished. The case back is different from Rolex Submariner, it is engraved with “ORIGINAL OYSTER CASE BY ROLEX GENEVA”, which means that this watch is not only made by Rolex, but also uses Rolex Oyster case. So, you can imagine that the quality of Tudor should not be low, in some way it has the same quality as Rolex.Black dial is protected by domed plexi plastic crystal, the dial exactly reveals the inner vintage texture of this replica. There are oval-shaped hour markers except markers at 3,6,9 and 12 o’clock. These markers are all applied yellowish luminous material, central hour hand is Mercedes-Benz style, the second hand is also very similar to Submariner’s. You can see the size of the hands is a bit smaller than Submariner’s. Under the Tudor Shield Logo, there are printings of “TUDOR” and “OYSTER PRINCE”, which is different from “OYSTER PERPETUAL” on other Rolexs. It is printed “SUBMARINER” at 6 o’clock. In a word, the replica Tudor completely uses the vintage Submariner’s dial style.The bracelet is brushed, it has a Tudor Shield Log engraved on the link at the end. Made of solid 316F stainless steel and uses Oyster structure, the bracelet also features a diver extension like Submariner watch.

I did not introduce Da Vinci watch before, however, like IWC Portofino, Da Vinci is also the style I like, its simpleness attracted a lot of watch fans who love simple dress watches with a little vintage style. Like Portuguese, Da Vinci is also regarded as complicated watch of IWC, especially those old models they published before that have a lot of complicated functions such as perpetual calendar. The watch I am going to review is a replica IWC watch, it is IW356601 and made by TW, which is a factory opened by Taiwanese in our market. This IWC Da Vinci replica is powered by Swiss ETA 2892 automatic movement and has hours, minutes, seconds and date functions.

Blue bezel insert is metallic made with white printed markers, those bezel markers are not applied with luminescence except the bezel pearl that is filled with white luminous material.

The earliest movement used in the Rolex Explorer II was the Caliber 1575, but over the years it was replaced with more technically advanced movements to help this watch reach its full adventure potential. The first big upgrade was the Cal. 3085 which allowed the 24-hour hand to be adjusted independently from the 12-hour hand. This meant the Explorer II no longer just indicated day and night hours, but could also be used to track a second time zone – turning it into a GMT watch. Then came the Cal. 3185 which was improved upon more with a Glucydur balance wheel that is not only paramagnetic but was resilient in extreme temperatures. The 3186 came next with a blue Parachrom hairspring that is anti-magnetic and shock resistant for even better durability. Finally, we have the modern-day Cal. 3187 which features all the upgrades this watch has gained over the years – from the GMT functionality to the blue Parachrom hairspring. It’s also notable for its high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, 31 jewels, -2/+2 seconds per day accuracy and 48-hour power reserve.The Submariner has a much longer history, so we’re going to start with the automatic Caliber 3135, which, while upgraded over the years, has been used in all date-displaying Submariner watches since 1988. While the aesthetics of the Submariner can vary, the Cal. 3135 has remained a trusted source of power for this beloved timepiece because of its sheer reliability. Today, the upgraded Cal. 3135 movement is COSC certified, outfitted with the anti-magnetic and ultra shock-resistant blue Parachrom hairspring, and boasts an impressive 48-hour power reserve just like the Explorer II.
