Today there is quite a high premium on original vintage pieces simply because they’re extremely rare and becoming increasingly harder to find. Decades ago, when people bought luxury watches like Rolex for example, it was perfectly normal for them to get the watch serviced, polished, or have parts replaced if you scratched or dented them up. The problem is that while they were done by the company with authentic later-era parts, they still weren’t original parts or features of the watch. Since this was such a common practice, today it’s really special – and highly valuable – if a vintage watch is totally original.When posed with the question of which watch to buy and when, every industry “expert” probably begins their answer with some variation of the same caveat: Buy for love, not for money. Watch collecting is a wild and unpredictable hobby. Auction prices for classic models have been known to hit eight figures (and then some), but most of the Rolex watches out there depreciate the moment you strap them on your wrist.I have a young friend who is ready to buy his first luxury watch. He’s been thinking about it for weeks (good boy), but every few days he calls me (bad boy) and labors the same point: He wants a watch that is an investment (even worse boy). There exists in modern watch collecting a problem: collectibility is now treated as a selling point. But the problem with everybody and their dogs knowing that something is collectible is that everybody and their dogs are quite likely to collect it.The most expensive wristwatch ever sold was the Rolex Daytona worn by Paul Newman himself. It fetched $17. million at a 2017 auction. That’s a pretty good price for a watch that was so unpopular when it was initially launched that it lingered on dealers’ shelves with relatively few actually making their way onto customers’ wrists. One of those wrists happened to be Paul Newman, who had reputedly been bought the watch by his wife, Joanne Woodward. And it isn’t that she made a sound investment, but rather her purchase created an investment piece by her gifting it to her stratospherically famous husband.
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. At last, the Rolex vintage 5508 replica watch is equipped with a Swiss ETA 2836-2 automatic movement, so we guarantee that its daily inaccuray will not exceed 3 seconds, we have tested this in factory.Replica Rolex Submariner 1680 Gilt Dial Replica Rolex Vintage Submariner Watch.Replica Rolex Submariner 1680 Rolex Submariner watch is definitely best of the best, classic of the classic in watch field.

Because some other low-end 7750 replica watches are with chronograph movement assembled in Tianjin or Jieyang and other areas of China. Overall, Shanghai 7750 is the best. J12 factory uses Shanghai 7750 in this replica Daytona watch. Keep your focus on the dial, the small second hand works smoothly on subdial at 6. 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph counter are positioned at 3 and 9 separately. You must loosen the screw on pusher first, and then push it to start chronograph.When you first see this two tone Rolex Daytona replica, you will have another doubt. That’s the gold coating on case and bracelet. Will the gold easily fade? I must say no. Yes, I have to admit those gold watches produced in past years did have thin gold coating and easily got scratched. While this replica made by the big factory J12 has a thick gold plating, which is nearly 5 mils, so golden color will not fade easily. J12 Rolex Daytona Caseback I like this Daytona watch, the two tone makes it looks fabulous, black dial is really elegant, those hour markers feature gold edge, which exactly meets the golden tone of the watch. Hour markers and hands are all applied white luminous material, they all supply strong lume light in the dark.

Those vintage Rolex like 1680 and 5513 are highly pursued because they have not been in stock in genuine watch market. I always like vintage Rolex and Panerai, I saw there is a close relationship between Rolex and Panerai in old times. I love vintage Rolex Submariner because most of them are equipped with nylon nato strap, which is my favorite band and could fit my thin wrist perfectly. Besides, vintage Rolex could let me know a lot of myths which you can not find on modern Rolex. There are a certain amount of people in the world who love searching for vintage watches that already do not exist, so they seek from replica watches market. For example, I have three clients coming from France, the United States and UK, everytime they contacted with me is for vintage Rolex, such as Daytona Paul Newman, Double Red Sea-Dweller or Submariner 1680, one of my clients has bought three vintage Submariner watches from me, and he kept asking for new models once there is.
Talking about watches and inspiration can spawn some pretty interesting debates, and for good reason – especially in the dive watch category. Of course, early dive watches weren’t “inspired by” anything; dive watches were tools created with a very distinct purpose. That said, as the years went on and the dive watch category moved away from practical utility towards desirable daily-wearers, design inspiration soon came into play. Today we’re looking at luxury watches inspired by the ocean, and digging into the stories behind the creation of each piece and how they relate to the big blue beyond.As mentioned above, there is no reason to go into a Rolex Submariner history lesson here; however, the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea with D-Blue dial (a variant of the original Deepsea that was first unveiled in 2008) has a very distinct connection to our world’s deepest waters.The origins of this piece come from Rolex’s involvement in (read: sponsorship of) James Cameron’s deep dive into the Mariana Trench. Though not limited in production, the piece is commemorative of the 2012 dive, and features a gradient blue to black dial that mimics the loss of light as one descends into the ocean’s depths. Additionally, the green chosen for the DEEPSEA text on its dial is matched to the color of Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger Submarine that took a prototype Rolex watch all the way down into the trench affixed to one of its robotic arms.The legacy of Jacques-Yves Cousteau is unparalleled in the world of underwater exploration, and many years ago (back in 2004 to be precise), IWC decided to become a partner of the Cousteau Society – a non-profit organization looking to continue the initiatives set out by Jacques-Yves several decades prior. From the onset of the partnership, IWC has included special limited-edition Aquatimer models in their collections, with a portion of the proceeds of each watch headed towards the organization.Of their bigger undertakings, Cousteau’s famed research vessel (named ‘Calypso’) was raised from the sea floor after sinking on account of an incident in Singapore in 1996. Progress on Calypso has been slow-going, and a fire on the ship while docked in Turkey two years ago has slowed things further. Naturally, there are rumors swirling that a redesign of the IWC Aquatimer line across the board will appear in conjunction with the vessel’s unveiling.
