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.
The dial has four colors to separate each detail and give a better visibility. Black main dial matches with golden hour markers and hands, the date window features thick black font in white background, the gmt hand could be adjusted through the crown, it has a green stem that echoes with the green words “GMT-MASTER II” on dial, every part of the replica comes along with the golden color, this makes the watch to be in line with its Two Tone style.Whatever the size, or watch parts, they are all 1:1 replicated according to genuine, all external watch parts could be exchanged with genuine watch except the movement. The replica GMT Master 2 uses a high end Chinese automatic movement, which we usually called it Asian ETA 2836-2, this movement may be manufactured in Tianjin, China, the watch factory in Guangzhou bought the movement and modified it to the outlook of Rolex 3187, then they installed the modified movement in the replica.The following is a photo of the movement accuracy test in my watch studio:Rolex has always been mostly welcomed in watch industry, it is also one of the most popular replicated watch brands in fake watch market. There are different types of Rolex replicas now that are divided into various grades. The highest quality replica Rolex watches are manufactured by big factories such as BP, J12, Noob. Actually there are many high end Submariner replicas that had been made by Noob factory before, with the progress which replica watch made in technology, more and more factories participate in the manufacturing of replica Rolex. Today, I am going to introduce another quality Rolex watch, it is replica GMT Master II with blue red bezel. The watch is somewhat full of vintage style, red and blue bezel is classic and could be found on most vintage Rolex watches. They are usually called Pepsi Bezel. High quality replica Rolex usually has a good textured bezel, especially this one that paints red and blue color, the color junction on the bezel is natural. Bezel is the most eye-catching place of the Rolex GMT Master II, while its dial is also attractive, black background with white printing, all hour markers and hands have white luminescence coated. The GMT hand has a wide triangle head and a red stem. Overall, you can easily read every element on the dial.The case is made of 316L stainless steel, which is brushed, the bezel is rotating and has 120 clicks, crown guards fully wrap the crown to prevent it from being damaged by collision. The bracelet is made solid links, not hollow, you can completely feel its weight on hand. Crown buckle has clear lines and you can see highly-finished engravings on clasp when fully unfolding the buckle. The case back has nothing engravin and it is clean, one thing you may observe is the pins that connect bracelet and case head, they are so strong and will not crack.
With cheaper price owing such high quality replica, I think it is deserve to have one of them. It features the function of living water-proofness, almost can satisfy your daily activities which are concerned about water. You don’t need to worry about suffering any trouble since it is water-resistant.Nowadays, simple style is becoming very popular among young people. It is because more and more people are pursuing natural style. For wrist watch, simple but generous automatic watch for business or leisure life is becoming the first choice for young people. The reason that it is suitable for all occasions, no matter you are going to take a party with it or enjoy outdoor activity with your friends, it can be so nice. Yes, here I will advise a top quality replica IWC Portofino watch to you, I believe that it may be the one which you are looking for a long time. This replica is delicate but classic, with low-key style and fashionable appearance. There is one obvious characteristic for this replica is its elegant outlook. If you prefer one replica with thin case, I think you will be attracted by this replica after you know its delicacy. You may like it so much.
It is more like a dress watch, not a sports or diving watch. The watch is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet, but VS factory also offers rubber or nylon band for it. The dial has different color options like black, blue, grey, white, ect., but I like this dark blue. The replica Omega Aqua Terra watch has a case diameter of 41mm, its case is brushed, the middle links of the bracelet is polished, which is highly contrasting with the other polished metal part of the watch. VS factory makes the vertical patterns on the dial correct, 100% the same as genuine. All hour markers and hands are fully applied with Swiss lume. By the way, the replica is equipped with VSF custom-made Super Clone 8900 movement, it is not based on any Chinese automatic movement, this Super Clone 8900 is VS factory’s in-house calibre.It is very controversial that this Omega De Ville is in this top five list. There are a lot of sports Omega watches that are sold better than this De Ville Hour Vision. Yes, I admit that there are a lot of other best-selling Seamaster watches that are more popular than this De Ville. But in this list, I want to add one new face, we saw too many sports or diver’s watches in normal times. And this Omega De Ville Hour Vision is also the latest addition in our market. The case is made of polished stainless steel and 41mm in diameter. The dial looks large, this is one of the common features for all dress watches, the case part is restricted in structure, so the dial can look larger. Blue dial is elegant and has an elegant outlook. The movement is VSF custom-made super clone 8500, which has been researched and developed by VSF for several years.
This factory does a good job in case polishing, which uses two different processing ways, the case lugs are polished and the part connecting bracelet is brushed. Polished lugs are smooth and have a certain arc degree, so the case fits you hand perfectly. Fluted bezel has the same amount of grooves as genuine, the 18k yellow gold coated on bezel is thick, never fade, so it is on the bracelet.Replica Rolex 41mm Black Dial The dial looks big, white letterings on black dial background. The date window at 3 o’clock shows black date on white background. The most precious part on the replica lies in its diamond hour markers, box-shaped markers with one diamond set in the center, whose brilliance exactly echoes with the yellow gold tone. I love simple dial style and it looks so generous.Replica Rolex Datejust Crown The most important watch part is the movement. This replica Rolex Datejust is equipped with a Swiss ETA 2836 automatic movement, which is the best movement used by replica watches. However, because the replica uses 18k gold, diamonds and Swiss ETA 2836 movement, it is sold at a high price. If you like this replica watch, please contact me, I will send one original Rolex box as a free gift, only available for top five buyers.dReplica Rolex Daytona 116500 Ceramic Watch 904L Case with Super Clone 4130 Movement Rolex Daytona 116500 Ceramic ReplicaIn recent days, there is a new factory that uses the latest watch material and super clone movement to make replica Rolex watches in our market, its name is AR. This factory produced a lot of amazing replica Rolex within these months, such as V8 116610 Submariner, 116610LV, etc. This time I will introduce another great replica watch they made, it is a Daytona watch, reference number is 116500. This Daytona watch is very popular and is in high demand in the watch market, a lot of my blog readers asked me to do a review about this Daytona watch, now I have a chance to pick up the best version to give a review here, hope you guys like it.
The movement used by the replica Rolex Sea-Dweller D-Green is an Asian ETA 2836, which is 25 jeweled and beats 28800 times per hour. You may ask why the factory did not use a 3135. Actually compared with 3135, the Asian ETA 2836 is more reliable. Although 3135 is super cloned, it has a high repairing rate. I prefer the replicas with a ETA 2836 movement.The Best Replica Rolex Daytona Ice Blue Watch with Ceramic BezelNoob Replica Rolex Daytona Ice Blue A few weeks ago, AR factory published some Daytona replica watches with Super Asian 4130 movement, these Daytona watches have a super quality but still have a big flaw, that’s the false chronograph. Just last week, another famous factory named Noob also unveiled a series of replica Daytona watches with 4130 movement, but their 4130 Daytona replica watches have fully functional chronograph, like this ice blue Daytona I am about to review today. It is currently the best Daytona replica although not made with 904L, maybe Noob will use 904L steel to make these 4130 Daytona next time, after all they have used this superior material on their Submariner models like 116610LN and 116610LV. Like real watch, the replica Rolex Daytona features the same ice blue dial, brown ceramic bezel and full chronograph function, however, the price is a little higher than Daytona watches from other factories. In my opinion, if you are seeking for a perfect Daytona without defect, and do not mind the price, then this replica will be your best choice.Noob Replica Rolex Ice Blue Dial The Daytona is the latest work from Noob factory, it uses Cal. 4130 automatic movement that is exclusive to N factory. Not only the movement has the same thickness as genuine, it could also achieve all functions of genuine Daytona watch. Besides, the clone 4130 from Noob uses KIF shock absorber that is specially designed for this watch. The whole movement is designed according to genuine Cal.4130, the chamfer and patterns on movement plates are 1:1 original design, in a word, with such a perfect movement, this is the best replica Rolex Daytona in our market, compared with Daytonas from other factories, this is the one that looks closest to genuine. So, do not consider any more, the best is in front of your eyes.Noob Replica Rolex Ice Blue Watch Case has a diameter of 40mm and 12.5mm thick.
The case head is very big, so making the connecting steel bracelet look narrow, so the whole replica watch does not look as harminous as black Submariner, however, it is made for professional divers, it will act as an important role as long as being able to 3900m waterproof. But this replica Rolex 116660 James Cameron watch is water resistant to 50 meters. The case back has two pieces, the central black one is Titanium seal, the back has the same construction as genuine watch. The bezel engravings are filled with platinum painting.The most beautiful place of the replica lies in its dial. The blue to black gradient of the dial is called D-Blue. Gradual effect on the dial ia perfect and natural, the upper blue is like ocean color, while the black bottom dial symbolizes the darkest Mariana Trench. The dial color is 100% the same as genuine watch. 3D hour markers feature silver edge and are filled white luminous material like hands. The dial lume is more powerful than any other Submariner or Sea-Dweller replica watches.Why this replica Rolex D-Blue watch sold at such a high price? First, its waterproof system is better made, the one-piece screw-down crown features O Ring system, besides, the crown tube is thick and perfectly matches the threads. Second, the better movement is also one reason. The replica is equipped with a Super Asian 3135 movement, which is the best 3135 currently installed on Submariner 116610 LN and Sea-Dweller Deepsea. Do not be cheated by other scam dealers, they usually charge you the 3135 movement fee but sending you an Asian ETA movement watch, if you want to know how to identify without opending the case back, please leave comment here.
The replica case is not complex, it is just one complete real ceramic piece. The diameter is measured to be 41mm. Black case color makes the replica look calm and stable, actually a lot of Pilot Top Gun watches uses ceramic case. Steel crown is big, it is screwed down with a long tube, the crown has refined engravings, which are clear to read. Case back is brushed stainless steel, it has six grooves for the user to open the back with special tool. The unique engravings on the centre tell everything you want to know more about this replica watch.Black dial echoes with black ceramic case, the white markers, hands and dial printings increase readability to the replica. The dial design of Top Gun Miramar is too different from other IWC watches, the red circle is for users to read hours, these white Arabic numbers like 5, 10 are displaying minutes, while the most outer white markers are for seconds display. There is a small square date window positioned at 3:00 lying on the red circle. To increase visibility, the white date font is in black background.
