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.
It is a long time for us to wait for this watch to be released. Replica Omega Seamaster 007 Spectre Limited Edition, which was firstly made by V6 factory in 2017, was discontinued in production for some reasons after a period of hot sale, I do not know why the factory stopped the production of this watch. Some watch suppliers I know told me that V6 factory is improving this replica watch, yes, I believe them, this watch was really sold very well after being replicated, a lot of clients who read my blog post bought this watch, even a lot of readers left comments here about when this replica watch will be in stock again so they could buy. I always believe V6 will release an ultimate version, the perfect replica that has updated any details. Finally, on July 1st, the Omega Spectre 007 replica was in stock again after nearly one month of short. We were all pleased with this news.
Rolex is a true pioneer in watchmaking technology. Among their most significant inventions is the Submariner, which was the first watch ever to offer water-resistance of up to 100 meters. The now-iconic Rolex Two-Tone Submariner was the inspiration behind the flourishing dive watch market as we know it, and almost every dive watch in existence today was in some way influenced by the Rolex Submariner. While it was developed for use while underwater, the Submariner has since become a coveted timepiece among collectors of all professions. The line is varied and offers a feature set to suit almost any wrist. However, today we will take a closer look at an earlier model of their Rolesor two-tone steel and gold Submariner ( Rolex Submariner two-tone ). The Rolex 16613 Two-Tone Submariner.The Rolex Submariner was developed in 1953 and made its official debut a year later at Basel Watch Fair 1954. As previously mentioned, the collection was the first to offer resistance to depths of up to 100 meters, which would then evolve into 200 meters, before increasing once again to its current and impressive 300-meter depth rating. In true Rolex fashion, the Submariner was carefully refined over the years to include a safer unidirectional bezel, improved materials, and a higher-beat movement.The original model was presented in stainless steel with an all-gold variation following in the late 1960s and a two-tone option coming to market in 1984 via the ref. 16803. The ref. 16613 was released a few years later in 1988 and enjoyed a long production run before being discontinued and replaced in 2009 with the current Cerachrom ceramic bezel 6-digit ref. 116613, marking the end of the aluminum bezel Rolex Submariner two-tone watches.
I have mentioned more than once that Z factory makes the best replica IWC watches, especially the replica IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, which is considered to be the most classic watch in our market. The power reserve has reached 3 days, this is a big breakthrough. Now in the beginning of 2019, along with lots of new replica watches published by other factories, this time ZF also brought us a big surprise, they unveiled the latest models of Portuguese Annual Calendar, after the release of these four models, the dominance of Z factory in replica IWC Portuguese field is further consolidated. The following article will give a basic review of these watches and share photos with you.
Two tone Rolex Daytona 116523, a very good watch for you to wear in daily life, however, the golden tone also lets you feel a bit luxury. The replica is the latest product of BP factory, which also makes good quality Submariner replicas and has been famous for making replica watches with goold and correct dial lume. I just got this watch from my watch supplier and took these photos for you guys.40mm in case diameter, the replica is very suitable for mens wrist, made of 316L stainless steel on base, the surface is plated with gold coating, bezel, crown, chrono buttons and the central links of bracelet all have a thick layer of gold coating being plated. Four lugs are polished while all other watch parts are brushed. The silver and golden tone of the replica mixes very well so that the replica does not look too shiny. On the dial, main black color really matches well with the golden dial details, three subdials have golden circle, hour markers are in golden and feature white luminous material, so are the hands, see the lume picture below, a strong green light and very beautiful, isn’t it?People should not doubt the chrono function of this replica Daytona, the chronograph is fully working. Modern replica watch making technology could easily achieve the chrono function, they do the best on Rolex Daytona replica, actually some AP replicas could even be equipped with Secs@12 7750 movement that are the same as genuine, so on this Daytona watch, the central second chronograph hand will start to run when you push the 2:00 button, the 4:00 button is for reset, I will take a video later to show you how to operate.The bracelet is two tone and consists of three section of links, the middle link are in golden. The two tone bracelet is the bright spot of this replica. All links of the bracelet are made of solid stainless steel, although not that high quality texture as original, the replica will have a similar weight to genuine 116523 because of being equpped with a solid bracelet. By the way, the clasp has the same structure as genuine Daytona, the engraving on clasp is sandblasted finished and feels very delicate, it is really hard to describe such texture feeling, you must have one by yourself.This Tudor watch was published in 2017 Basel, it is the first two tone watch Tudor has released. After all Tudor is a sub-brand of Rolex, it followed Submariner’s design idea, firstly, in the early development, Tudor published several Black Bay models that feature different dial color, in the second stage, Tudor started to produce some models in two tone or full gold, this is like the development track of Rolex Submariner. In my opinion, Tudor Black Bay is the cheaper version of Rolex Submariner. Today, I want to introduce a two tone replica Tudor watch here, overall, this is a high quality replica watch, and two tone style allows you to wear the watch in more formal occasions.The case is made of 316L stainless steel, bezel tooth, bezel engravings and crown have 18K yellow gold coating, which does not fade even after one-year wearing.
