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.
Made by J12 factory, the case polishing work looks much superior to Daytonas of other factories. Case is 40mm in diameter and 15mm thick, case corners and edge are smoothly polished, so you will get a comfortable wearing feeling from this replica watch. Bezel is in yellow gold tone and fixed, three buttons on the right are also in yellow gold and have the same construction as genuine Rolex Daytona. When not in use, the two chronograph buttons could be locked tightly by screws to make sure the watch is water resistant. If you want to start the chronograph, just loose the screw on button at 2:00 and then push it.White dial has three working subdials, the small dial at 6 o’clock is for small seconds display, the subdial at 3 o’clock is 30-minute chronograph counter and subdial at 9 o’clock is 12-hour chronograph counter. Fortunately, all could work like genuine Rolex Daytona. Secs@6 Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement is very reliable.The bracelet is made of 316L stainless steel and has a thick yellow gold coating on the central links, the yellow gold tone never fade. The last reason why you choose this replica Daytona other than the ones from AR factory is it is sold at a much cheaper price.After releasing Submariner 116610 and 116610LV, Noob just published another important model in this week, it is 116710 BLNR. This Rolex Submariner was selling well and I have given its review on my another blog. 116710 BLNR is a popular GMT Master II watch of Rolex, it is easily identified because of the blue black bezel, some watch fans call it Batman bezel. 116710 BlNR I introduced before was a V7 published by Noob factory, the one I am going to discuss today is the latest V8 by Noob, it is currently the best version that uses top quality watch material and Swiss 3186 automatic movement.
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.
But as so often happens, any objections were short-lived. Fairly soon after its arrival, the LV (standing for Lunette Verte, or green bezel) started attracting much more of the right kind of attention, with devotees learning to appreciate the eccentricities. It also had the definite whiff of a future classic, something that set collectors with one eye on future monetary gains to gravitate towards it.As it turned out, they were right. Just seven years after its introduction, the Kermit was withdrawn to make way for the ref. 116610LV. Now housed in the beefed-up Super Case, this new piece added a green dial to match the bezel, leading to it being known colloquially as the Hulk.A short run of an unusual edition of a true industry giant has seen prices for the Kermit far outstrip the equivalent classic black models, and should be set to only get higher with time. Definitely one to consider.This one is a real puzzler. There hasn’t been a black and red bezel GMT-Master (much better known as the ‘Coke’) since 2007. That was when the last reference to offer the option, the ref. 16710, was scrubbed from the lineup. This means that there has never been a Cerachrom example of this archetypal and hugely popular Rolex color scheme, which we originally saw debut on the very first of the GMT-Master II references way back in 1983, the ref. 16760 (nicknamed the ‘Fat Lady’).The red and black had enough of a distinction from the blue and red bezel pieces to warrant its place, and as we all know, the ‘Pepsi’ has been (and still is) a massive seller for the brand.
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. This Daytona watch will become the best selling model, its color match is the favorite of many watch fans, and J12 factory guarantees its super quality.Replica Vintage Rolex 5508 Blue Submariner Rolex Submariner 5508 Replica.In recent months, BP, which is a factory has produced a lot of high quality Rolex replicas, made several vintage Submariner replicas and attracted our attention. 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.
On the dial at 12 o’clock, there is a FA Jones signaure in black, a small hand is showing current seconds on subdial at 6 o’clock. Central hour and minute hands are classic Breguet hands, which add a little retro flavor to the watch. Printed Arabic hour markers are in blue.Look at the manual winding movement through crystal back, each movement plate is carefully crafted, from polishing to chamfering, each detail is uncompromised.The leather band varies from brown, blue and black on different model. Please tell me which one you like: rose gold case with brown leather strap, blue hour markers with blue leather band or black hour markers with black leather strap.
I did not introduce Da Vinci watch before, however, like IWC Portofino, Da Vinci is also the style I like, its simpleness attracted a lot of watch fans who love simple dress watches with a little vintage style. Like Portuguese, Da Vinci is also regarded as complicated watch of IWC, especially those old models they published before that have a lot of complicated functions such as perpetual calendar. The watch I am going to review is a replica IWC watch, it is IW356601 and made by TW, which is a factory opened by Taiwanese in our market. This IWC Da Vinci replica is powered by Swiss ETA 2892 automatic movement and has hours, minutes, seconds and date functions. Check more specification below.TW factory also makes high quality gold Rolex replicas. It is a great maker in Guangzhou watch market. The watch case is made of 316L stainless steel, it is measured to be 40mm in diameter and 10mm thick, featuring a round bezel that has a smooth polishing. The case has moveable lugs, this is a smarter design and could make the case fit your wrist comfortably. For this simple and ordinary watch, I think it is more suitable for women, while if you guys are searching for such type of timer with some retro design on dial, this watch is your best choice.
