In the world of luxury product acquisition, there are few things more distressing to the mind of a passionate collector than the thought of harm coming to their valued possessions. Yes, nothing in this realm can hold a candle to health or the well-being of one’s loved ones, but these small treasures, often rare or unique (and certainly expensive) hold a special place in the heart of one who has dedicated their time and effort to make them theirs.I am often asked if it is important to insure a collection of used luxury watches. In fact, I am asked it more often then makes conscionable sense to me, because the answer is simple: Yes, yes you should. And more to the point, if you own a luxury watch like a Rolex Submariner (let alone if you own numerous luxury watches) and you’re asking that question, you should save your breath for the insurance provider on the other end of the phone.And that’s really the best place to start. In this digital age, it seems we’ve all become a bit interaction-shy, but with a complex and potentially serious situation like making an insurance claim, it is always best to have set-up your policy having talked directly to another human being – an expert in their field. You really should leave nothing to chance. Don’t be afraid to ask stupid questions – insurance is complicated and rules and regulations vary from country to country (massively) and occasionally, even from region to region. If you move to a new area, don’t just assume that your previous policy will port seamlessly. Check it out. Trust me: It’s worth it.Having lived most of my life in the UK and Germany, I have intimate personal experience with moving a watch collection across borders. And the differences are stark. Some things are easier in some territories, and some things are harder, but the three things you should focus on first when looking into insuring your collection (or single watch) is the total value of your collection, how many “declarable” models you will need to put on your policy, and how all of this can affect your remaining contents insurance.So let’s start with the first point. This is relatively simple. Add up the retail value of the watches in your collection. When doing this, make sure you collate invoices and receipts (if possible) into a physical and digital folder. Scan everything, stick it in a PDF and email a copy to yourself rather than keeping it on your hard-drive alone (it stands to reason that if your property gets turned over your laptop may go the same way as your watches).
The Daytona is equipped with an Asian clone ETA 7750 movement, which means Noob factory used a Chinese chronograph movement as a base movement, then modified its plates and rotor according to genuine ETA 7750, although the fake 7750 is not as accurate as genuine, the price of the replica tells you everything, besides, I have tested the movement with professional device, the inaccuracy is within 5 seconds each day.Overall, 116509 is the best-selling one among all stainless steel Daytona watches, and I never sell low quality and defective replicas to you.I introduced several Daytona watches on my site, there are steel Daytona, Rainbow Daytona and the most popular vintage Paul Newman Daytona, I like Daytona watch because it is the only Rolex that not only features sporty style but also made of precious metal. Rolex Daytona watch could fit your any types of dresses, like business suits or sports clothing. Many watch fans prefer those Rolex watches with steel bracelet, but I think the one with rubber band is also attractive. I prefer wearing Daytona watch, it is very convenient for me when I am doing some sports, the chronograph function is specially designed for those sports lovers who like competition. Today, I will introduce another fusion art, although many people Hublot is more worthy of this title, this Rolex Daytona is a good combination of precious metal and rubber material. This watch I am going to introduce in the following is Rolex Daytona 116518LN replica, it uses four materials, which include stainless steel, yellow gold, ceramic and black rubber. Now, let’s read its specification first.Replica Rolex Daytona 116518LN Movement: Clone Rolex 4130. Fullly functional Chronograph like real Rolex Daytona Case: 40mm*13mm. 18K Yellow Gold, almost 5 mils on 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Black Ceramic Bezel Insert Crystal: Sapphire. Etched Rolex Crown at 6 Dial: Gold Color Band: Black OysterFlex Rubber Strap with Flip Lock New Style Clasp Water Resistant: 100m Replica Rolex Daytona Gold Watch.First, I must see it is a dream watch for many Rolex fans because the replica watch uses a lot of high-tech watch materials. The case is made of solid 904L stainless steel, you know, 904L steel is only used on genuine Rolex before, but now AR factory uses this steel material on replica Rolex, this is a great breakthrough in fake watch industry. There is a thick layer of 18K yellow gold on the case, it is about 5 mils, the wrapped gold coating, which will not fade easily, I have to say the gold coating will not be worn even after three years of wearing.
All good things must come to an end, and it is as true at Rolex as anywhere else. Over the years, certain pieces have disappeared from the portfolio, either replaced with an updated version or else retired completely. Rolex actually seems to make a habit of discontinuing many of their references with little or no warning, and for reasons only they understand. In some instances, the withdrawn watches are real fan favorites, and it leaves potential customers with just one option to get hold of them.Below, we take a look at five of Rolex’s most-loved discontinued models that are now only available on the pre-owned market.Rolex has a history of marking the key birthdays of a number of its icons with some kind of out-of-the-ordinary celebration, and in 2003, the Rolex Submariner celebrated its 50th anniversary. The world’s most famous luxury dive watch marked its half-century in style with the release of the ref. 16610LV, not only the first Submariner to be fitted with a black Maxi dial, but also the first to have a green bezel.Major departure that it was for the model, it became something of an opinion splitter. There had been variations on the traditional black bezeled pieces before – blue versions (although only on gold and two-tone pieces) being the most common; however, the emerald surround on this anniversary edition led to it picking up a nickname from both the ‘for’ and ‘against’ camps. Those who loved the new colorway called it the Kermit; those less keen christened it the Vomit Sub.
In July, one of my clients sent one watch back to Noob for repairing, he waited almost one and half month for the factory to fix it, I must say that the repairing of Noob is too slow.Both factories have their own advantages, but for beginners, I recommend ARF 116610LV more, because the first feeling it gives to you is more real, the quality and texture of the watch is super. I did not say bad things about Noob, they are a big factory, I have to admit, but if they can not do a better customers service and quality check, I think they will be very difficult to keep the pace with AR factory.AR Submariner 116610LV photos below:This watch is the V2 version of two tone Submariner 116613LN replica from AR factory, it is also the best version currently. Some people will ask, what about if being compared with the one from Noob? Actually I do not know, I have not held two watches in hand and compared them. Maybe in subtle details, Noob makes better, but the replica from AR factory also has their advantages. For example, it is the factory that used 904L stainless steel material on their replica Rolex watches, second, the finish on case and bracelet is much better. Third, AR factory installed an Asia ETA 2824 movement in this replica, compared with the Asia 3135 movement in Noob version, Asia 2824 is more stable and reliable. Fourth, the price is cheaper.
