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 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 first ceramic bezel Submariner appeared in 2009 with the introduction of the steel and gold Rolex reference 116613. A stunning blend of classic and modern dive watch design, the ref. 116613 has since become a highly sought-after dive watch, both at retail and on the pre-owned Rolex market. Other metal variations of the ceramic (aka “Cerachrom”) bezel Submariner would later follow. However, none is as intriguing as the Rolex Submariner two-tone example.The Rolex Submariner was introduced to the market in the early 1950s and was the first timepiece in the brand’s catalog to offer water resistance up to 100 meters. This depth rating would eventually be increased to up to 300 meters, where it remains for the modern versions of the Submariner that are sold today. Other notable upgrades made to the line over the past six decades include improved materials (904L Oystersteel), longer-lasting lume (Chromalight), higher-beat Caliebr 3135 perpetual movements, tougher scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, and unidirectional rotating timing bezels.The Submariner was first offered in stainless steel, then in yellow gold. The first two-tone Submariner wasn’t released until 1984, with the reference 16803. This take on Rolex’s famous professional diver introduced the line to a brand new level of collectors who sought a gold Rolex but didn’t have the budget for an all-gold timepiece. Fast forward to 2009 with the release of this article’s featured ref. 116613, a completely redesigned dive watch with an upgraded bracelet and case, a redesigned bezel fitted with a ceramic insert, and a larger display on the dial.The Rolex Submariner is a dive watch legend. From its many appearances in the James Bond franchise to gracing the wrists of numerous A-list celebrities, the Submariner has become one of the most recognizable and coveted luxury watches in the world. The line is varied and offers options in either an all Oystersteel (904L stainless steel), Rolesor (two-tone steel and gold), or solid 18k gold. Today, we will compare two of the most iconic two-tone Rolex Submariner references – the Rolex 16613 and Rolex 116613.

In recent years, Rolex was more likely to use precious metals such as rose gold, platinum and diamonds on their sports series like Submariner, YachtMaster and GMT Master, this makes these sports watches suitable for more occasions. Now, let’s read the following article to see what makes this watch so impressive – the most exquisite diving watch in the world.The replica is made by Noob, case is in rose gold color, the gold coating is very thick, 40mm case meets the current big watch trend for most people, one piece of stainless steel was moulded by machine to ensure the case was 1:1 replicated from original. The bezel is the biggest selling point, embeded with colorful diamonds, this design reminds me another diamond watch of Rolex – Rainbow Daytona. This YachtMaster is exactly the ‘Tutti Frutti’ of Rolex.Black dial features blue superlume on markers and hands, which are filled white luminous material and surrounded by rose gold frame. Date is shown through the window at 3, with a magnifier on top face. The crystal uses thick sapphire and its hardness is tested by Noob factory.The movement is based on genuine Japanese Miyota automatic, although the factory modified it to the look of Rolex Cal.3135, it has a lower repairing rate than other automatic movement used in replica watches.The watch comes with one pair of rubber band in black, if you like leather strap, I can send you one pair for free. By the way, no original box is attached for this Rolex, you need to pay extra dollars to buy, and the watch has been tested to be 50m waterproof. Why not start to prepar one diving watch for your hot summer?In past a few months, every one has focused their attention on the 2017 BaselWorld watch exibition, so was I. Every year a lot of Swiss brands would publish a lot of new models, which were made with new breakthrough watch-making technology, especially Rolex, they will bring some surprising gifts to you guys in Basel every year. This time, I will introduce a monster to you, it is the most professional diving watch series of Rolex, yes, it is Sea-Dweller, look at the red lettering on black dial, red “SEA-DWELLER”, very obvious. We all know Sea-Dweller is famous for their superior waterproof performance because it is specially made for professional divers. However, this new Sea-Dweller is also very good for you guys who may be not expert divers. 43mm in case diameter, not big and just like the size of Black Submariner, it will be under control of your wrist. And the new Sea-Dweller 126600 is very similar to Submariner because of its Cyclops. I can not find such a feature on previous Sea-Dweller models. So this watch will be a good choice for watch fans who like a Submariner-style Sea-Dweller professional diver’s watch.It is already not a secret that our fake watch factories will go to Basel watch exibition, why did they go there? Not only they love watches, but they also wanted to buy some so could manufacture the latest replicas of these new watches. The main reason is that they want to do business and earn a lot of money. By the way, some factory managers really did well in this area. Such as BP, which made this replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600. According to my knowledge, BP is the first factory to publish this Sea-Dweller replica watch, and the watch quality is top, with a very considerable price, I think it is worth for you to get this replica watch.Let us talk movement first, it is genuine ETA 2836. Beating at rate of 28800BPH.
The replica Rolex Explorer II features a white dial, there is also a black dial version. White and black match really well, like this 216570 replica, on white dial, the hour markers and hands all have black edge, which has a high contrast with the white dial background. The orange GMT hand echoes with the orange printing “EXPLORER II”, looks very obvious and eye-catching. Hour markers and hands are applied super lume material, so the dial will have a strong lume effect in the dark, which is very convenient for you to read the time.For me, who pursue perfection, I focus its texture such as weight more than the details. When I first hold the replica on hand, I feel a little heavy, it gives me a big surprise because a lot of replica watches have a very light weight, but this one is heavy, this absolutely makes me believe that the replica is made of high-level solid steel material, actually it is, the 316L stainless steel is currently the best watch material. With screw-down crown and case back is perfectly sealed, the replica watch is tested to be 50m waterproof by Noob factory workers.Replica Rolex 36mm Datejust 116233 Champagne Gold Watch ReviewI did not give too many reviews on ladies watches, all replicas reviewed here are for men, they look strong and most of them are particularly made for special purpose. Some readers here asked me whether there is good quality replica watches for ladies, maybe they want to buy one for their girlfriend or wife. Actually there are a lot of good ladies watches in our market, such as Cartier, Chopard, etc., Rolex also has their ladies collection, the 36mm and 28mm Datejust or Day Date are all made for ladies. Here I am going to introduce one replica watch, it is a champagne gold Datejust, in 36mm, which is a medium size and will fit the wrist of most women. The two tone is a very popular style, and the diamonds on dial add more luxury feeling to this gold replica.The watch has a steel and champagne gold color, fluted bezel is champagne gold plated, like the three middle links of the bracelet. The dial is the place that perfectly shows the feminity of the Datejust watch, besides its champagne gold color, the diamond hour markers are also the most common decoration which you could find on a lot of ladies watches. The bracelet contains five sections of links, the middle three links are golden, which are in line with the gold tone of bezel and dial. There are two golden versions for this replica, one is gold-plated, the other is 18k wrapped gold version, absolutely the latter is the best, but its price is also very high.Crystal is sapphire, which is highly resistant, the magnifier on the crystal is anti-reflective, through the magnifier, the date is clearly readable – black date font on a white background. The replica is made by BP factory, the 2824 movement inside is an Asian clone one, not genuine, we also call it Sea-Gull 2824, because it is modified from a Sea-Gull automatic movement. Look at the golden crown buckle, it fastens the clasp tightly. Clasp engravings are all correct, they are completed by laser.
So, we can see how charming these vintage watches are. This time, I will introduce a classic vintage Submariner from BP factory, it is Ref.5508.Rolex Submariner Blue Watch 5508When you first see this watch, you will be attracted by its blue color. yes, both bezel and dial are in blue. With chocolate nato strap, the watch will bring you a visual striking at first. In my experience, every vintage Rolex I saw in replica watch world is either equipped with a rivet steel bracelet or a nato band. If you want both, that is ok. The case is measured to be 38.5mm in diameter, which is a little smaller than modern Submariner. The lugs are brushed, the vintage Rolex crown is also different from modern Rolex’s. 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. By the way, the bezel clicking tooth is not that as deep as that on modern Submariner watches.Blue Vintage Submariner Rolex CrownTo identify this replica Rolex as a vintage Submariner, you can easily tell by observing is blue dial. Hour markers and hands are applied with patina luminescence, not white. Those patina luminous material will emit strong green light at night. The white printed Rolex Crown is not silver three-dimensional Rolex logo, other printings such as “100m=330ft” and “SUBMARINER” are all white, which forms a high contrast with the blue background. Like we said before, the watch has a chocoate nylon strap, however, the clasp does not have a fastening Rolex Crown buckle. If you requested, I can get you one extra pair of that band.
