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 middle links of bracelet are yellow gold, which exactly matches the golden fluted bezel. Both case and bracelet use solid 316L stainless steel, the watch weight is very close to real, with good polishing, it has a real hand touch and good wearing comfort.Replica Rolex GMT Master II Basel 2018 126715 Rose Gold Watch with Black/Brown Ceramic Bezel Replica Rolex GMT Master II 126715 .After Basel 2018, a lot of factories published replica watches of new models that were unveiled in Basel. Especially Rolex, there are a few new models that have catched my attention, they are GMT Master II, which not only uses different bi-color bezel, but also features a Jubilee bracelet. I introduced one 2018 GMT Master II here several weeks ago, and it got a lot of inquiries. Now I am going to post another new GMT Master II that is in full rose gold, which looks very luxury, while its bezel also adds sporty style. The replica Rolex is made by an unknown factory, but its price is not cheap because the replica uses real ceramic on bezel and the rose gold coating is thick 18K. Let’s enjoy the beauty of this art work.Replica Rolex GMT Master II Basel 2018 Rose Gold The case is made of 316L stainless steel, and there is a thick layer of 18K rose gold, which will not easily fade after a long wear. Case diameter is 40mm, a very reasonable size for mens wrist, but for some people who love large-size watches, this Rolex is a little small. The bezel is unique, Rolex never used black and brown color combination on GMT bezel before, now on this new model 126715, the black/brown ceramic bezel looks so unique. The color transition from black to brown is very natural.Replica Rolex 126715 Black Brown Bezel Dial is black, absolutely the dial is close to geuine watch, but it could not be compared with V7 replica Rolex GMT Master II watch published by Noob factory, which is the best quality GMT Master II replica watch, because it has the correct hand stack and equipped with 3186 movement. Whether from outside look or inside machine, this replica GMT watch looks more real to genuine. While this Rolex GMT Master II 126715 does not have a correct hand stack, but the GMT hand works like real. Words “GMT-Master II” are in rose gold tone, which echoes with rose gold case and bracelet. By the way, inner bezel has correct Rolex Rehaut, hour markers and hands are applied blue lume material.Replica Rolex GMT Master II Rose Gold CrownNot like 126710 GMT Master II, this watch is equipped with an Oyster bracelet that is in rose gold. Middle links are polished while two sides are brushed, this forms a sharp visual contrast.
Case is measured to be 41mm in diameter, 14.8mm thick, which includes the crystal glass thickness. The case is 1:1 replicated from original so it has the same size as genuine.Dial is black. Iconic Tudor’s reverse hour hand and shield logo in golden color. Those round hour markers are filled with white Swiss SuperLume material while having yellow gold edge, so are hands. At 3 o’clock, there is a small window displaying date that features black date font in white background. The dial will emit strong green light in dark place, the green dial lume on the replica is the same as genuine.Black dial is protected by sapphire crystal, which is dome shaped and features colorless double-sided AR Coating. With this advantage and see from any angle, the dial will be clearly readable even under sun light condition.Besides the domed crystal face, another element that adds some vintage favor to this replica is its special rivet bracelet, which is made of 316L stainless steel and its central link has 5-mils yello gold coating. The two tone bracelet has a deployant clasp, when the clasp is folded, it looks like a big Tudor shield logo. If you are interested in buying the replica, please check its specification in the following.Movement: Swiss ETA 2824-2 Automatic, 25 Jewels, 28800bph, Nickle Plated Case: 41mm*14.8mm, 316L Stainless Steel, Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel Crystal: Domed Sapphire with Colorless AR Coating, Double Sided Dial: Black with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: Two Tone, Steel and Yellow Gold Plated Water Resistant: 50m V10 Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA 116660 D-Blue Made with 904L Stainless Steel Unveiled by Noob(new updated 126660) The Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA 116660 is one of the best-selling replica Rolex watches in the past, since Noob firstly used 904L stainless steel on the Batman GMT and Submariner, DEEPSEA 116660 is not as popular as Noob’s other flagship products like Daytona V3, Submariner V10, etc. Now, Noob published the latest V10 edition of this replica Rolex D-Blue 116660, I think it will become hot again, many of you guys who bought this watch before may want to replace by this one that is made with 904L stainless steel.This is a big watch that is specially designed for robust guys, case diameter is up to 43mm, and almost 17.5mm thick, not many people are willing to choose D-Blue 116660 as their first watch because it is really too big. And due to the new 904L stainless steel material on case and bracelet, the watch feels heavier than before.Besides 904L stainless steel case material, another big change on this V10 DEEPSEA 116660 lies in the movement, which is changed to Super Clone 3235. In all previous versions, Noob used 3135 movement, this is a big progress they made on this watch.On the V10 edition of DEEPSEA Sea-Dweller D-Blue 116660, Noob also claimed that the ceramic material used on the bezel is upgraded, they said this ceramic is different from that of previous Noob Ceramic watches, this ceramic is imported, so I suppose that they have a special channel to get the ceramic material used in the real watch, so that they have the confidence to said the ceramic is Swiss quality.The gradient dial is classic, the upper half on top is blue, the lower half below is black, such dial color design exactly meets the main theme which this watch wants to represents – the challenge to deep sea. After being improved many times, the gradient dial color looks more natural now.The bracelet is made with 904L stainless steel that is fully brushed, the bracelet is long and does not suit people who have small wrist. This bracelet would be the best fit for such a big watch, other leather or nylon band, while I think is impossible to bear the heavy weight of the case. Inside the case, there is a clone 3235 machine, actually Noob has installed this machine in its previous Single Red Sea-Dweller 126600, the movement has all necessary information engraved on the plates and rotor in gold tone, Noob factory also offers another movement option for this watch, that is a clone ETA 2836.AR factory also makes this watch, I think it is the main competitor of Noob. AR has improved this replica three times, the latest edition is V3, it is also made with 904L stainless steel, while with better case and bracelet finish I think, the movement in ARF 116660 is a clone ETA 2824, while it is also a good movement choice.
