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 ref. 16710 is available on either a three-piece link Oyster bracelet or a five-piece link Jubilee bracelet with hollow center links and a folded metal clasp. Older references have hollow end-links and a standard clasp, while newer references have solid end-links and a clasp with an additional safety latch. The Jubilee bracelet is the exception and is only available on reference 16710 watches with hollow end-links and a standard fold-over clasp.The ref. 116710 is only produced on a three-link Oyster bracelet. As a newer variation of the GMT-Master II, the bracelet is equipped with solid end-links, solid center links, and a newer Oysterlock clasp with a 5mm Easylink comfort extension system. Many collectors prefer this example of the Oyster bracelet as the redesigned clasp allows the wearer to adjust the length without the use of tools as their wrist fluctuates in humid or hot weather.The GMT-Master II is an absolute legend, there’s no argument about it. What it comes down to when comparing the 16710 and the 116710 is personal taste. Do you prefer the classic styling of an older sports watch? Or do you prefer a contemporary timepiece that has all the latest and greatest technologies? Either way, the Rolex GMT-Master II is a must-have for any serious watch collection.

About replica Omega Seamaster watches, VS factory has always been in the leading status. Although sometimes OM factory is faster than VS to publish the newest mdels, their quality can not still be compared with that of VS factory.Rolex and Omega are focal point in watch market in recent months. A lot of new models of them have been published from our factories. The application of 904L stainless steel on these new Rolex is a great development in watch industry in recent years. And on the new Omega released in recent months, the big change, like I said, the improvement, lies in the movement inside, correct black balance wheel, correct balance wheel position, etc. Today, I will share three new models of Omega Seamaster Diver 300m made by VS factory, they are the V2 edition. For these three new models, one is with black dial, one has grey dial, one with blue dial. About the band, the watch can also be equipped with leather strap or stainless steel bracelet. Before see their picutres, please check watch specification first.The new Seamaster Diver 300m is also upon the top five Omega list, it is loved by a lot of watch fans. Why? I think there are three reasons. First, the high popularity of Omega Seamaster, make it the focus once there are new models published from Baselworld. Second, new wavy dial texture looks very unique. Third, the replica watch is made so perfect, more important, it is from VS factory, which was known as famous V6 in the past.
I like this type of YachtMaster Rolex, its ocean blue color attracts me. There was one YachtMaster II replica in full stainless steel published several years ago, it was highly welcomed and has driven a crazy sale record, now still a lot of people are pursuing the white steel YachtMaster II. About this two tone model, although not my favorite, it is still a great replica watch.Rolex YachtMaster II 116681 Blue There are blue, rose gold, red, white and black colors gathered on this watch. Bezel tooth, case buttons and middle links of bracelet are all plated with rose gold. Blue bezel insert is ceramic made with golden engraving. On white dial, the blue small second hand is running on subdial at 6, this subdial is in rose gold color with black markers. Square hour markers have golden frame with white luminescence filled inside. Hour markers, hour and minute hands will emit strong blue light in dark place. The big triangle hand on the centre is for countdown function, but on this replica, this feature is false, that means this triangle red hand is not working. That’s reasonable, because this replica is only equipped with a Shanghai 7750 chronograph movement.Rolex YachtMaster II 116681 Buttons Specification of Rolex YachtMaster II 116681: Movement: Shanghai 7750 Chronograph, 28800VPH Case: 44mm*14mm, 18K Two Tone Plated on 316L Steel, Blue Ceramic Bezel Crystal: Sapphire Dial: White Band: Two Tone. 18K Rose Gold Plated. New Rolesor Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 50m Replica Rolex Daytona Two Tone Watch – The Luxury Classic in Sports Rolex Daytona Two Tone Watch Replica J12 Rolex Daytona In my opinion, among all Swiss watches, Daytona is considered to be the only luxury sports watch made with precious metals. Other pure sports brands like Hublot and Tag Heuer do not have such noble temperament. Lots of people, including women, like Daytona very much, not only because it is a Rolex watch, but Daytona also matches all kinds of suits well. Rolex is the dream watch, but even the entry-level Air King is beyond affordability of most people, so don’t say the more expensive Daytona. However, here is a chance to get a replica Rolex Daytona watch, which is a perfect alternative of genuine because the replica is well finished and comes from a big factory here named J12, so there is no need to worry about its quality because such grade of replica in our market is the most sought after watch, it can last for years with proper maintenance. JF Rolex Daytona Replica Rolex Daytona Black Dial You guys who seek for Daytona replica watches will doubt its chronograph function, but the chronograph is real, and it works exactly like genuine Daytona watch. About movement, the replica is equipped with an Asian Valjoux 7750, it is actually a Chinese chronograph movement, based on Shanghai 7750, which is installed in high end chronograph replica watches.
Omega Planet Ocean series was so popular in the world, it even has good performance in the movie 007, which has left deep impression to us accompanying with this exciting action movie. Today I am going to recommend a perfect replica of this series. Since it with advanced technology, cool matching color, dynamic appearance as the genuine. So I believe that you may fall in love with such perfect chronograph definitely.This replica Omega contains with key factors in its whole structure. Of cause, ceramic plays an important role in this replica. Its diameter was 45mm, and it case was made of solid 316 stainless steel, matched with a black ceramic bezel, Arabic numerals and scales in front of us clearly . Bezel can be hit easily when diving, but the hard ceramic can protect it from damage effectively. It was really an ideal material of bezel. In its black dial, we can see that six, nine,twelve this three Arabic numeral markers with orange coating, which can catch our eye at the first time with such bright color. Besides,the markers and scales has coated with super luminous so that can help diver read their diving time easily. The minute hand and bezel with green luminous, markers and hour hand will appear anther color, blue. With different color in luminous so as to distinguish easily. Diver can distinguish diving time and normal time quickly. That design was so considerate because this function was so important to diver. I think it was rather necessary to concern about their safety. The date display window was set in the palace of three o’clock, it was so clear since it with white big number and black background to create striking contrast in visual effect.
