In the world of luxury product acquisition, there are few things more distressing to the mind of a passionate collector than the thought of harm coming to their valued possessions. Yes, nothing in this realm can hold a candle to health or the well-being of one’s loved ones, but these small treasures, often rare or unique (and certainly expensive) hold a special place in the heart of one who has dedicated their time and effort to make them theirs.I am often asked if it is important to insure a collection of used luxury watches. In fact, I am asked it more often then makes conscionable sense to me, because the answer is simple: Yes, yes you should. And more to the point, if you own a luxury watch like a Rolex Submariner (let alone if you own numerous luxury watches) and you’re asking that question, you should save your breath for the insurance provider on the other end of the phone.And that’s really the best place to start. In this digital age, it seems we’ve all become a bit interaction-shy, but with a complex and potentially serious situation like making an insurance claim, it is always best to have set-up your policy having talked directly to another human being – an expert in their field. You really should leave nothing to chance. Don’t be afraid to ask stupid questions – insurance is complicated and rules and regulations vary from country to country (massively) and occasionally, even from region to region. If you move to a new area, don’t just assume that your previous policy will port seamlessly. Check it out. Trust me: It’s worth it.Having lived most of my life in the UK and Germany, I have intimate personal experience with moving a watch collection across borders. And the differences are stark. Some things are easier in some territories, and some things are harder, but the three things you should focus on first when looking into insuring your collection (or single watch) is the total value of your collection, how many “declarable” models you will need to put on your policy, and how all of this can affect your remaining contents insurance.So let’s start with the first point. This is relatively simple. Add up the retail value of the watches in your collection. When doing this, make sure you collate invoices and receipts (if possible) into a physical and digital folder. Scan everything, stick it in a PDF and email a copy to yourself rather than keeping it on your hard-drive alone (it stands to reason that if your property gets turned over your laptop may go the same way as your watches).
The chemical composition of synthetic green sapphire includes copper and aluminum oxide, with the copper being the element that is ultimately responsible for its signature green hue. The process of synthetic sapphire production is an expensive and exacting one; however, the additional obstacles that accompany the addition of copper – and the precision required to achieve the right amount of green tint without compromising the strength or clarity of the crystal are likely responsible for its exclusive use on the Rolex Milgauss line of watches.When synthetic sapphire is manufactured, the material has to “grow” over the course of a period of several weeks. Particles attract to one another, forming layers that fuse together to create a dense and ultra-hard substance. The end result of production is a “boule” – a solid piece of synthetic sapphire shaped like a chunky cylinder, which is then cut and shaped to its necessary dimensions.Due to the high costs of production, most watch crystal manufacturers cut their synthetic sapphire boules in a perpendicular fashion, as to maximize the number of crystals that can be created from a single boule. Although this is entirely unconfirmed, it is rumored that Rolex cuts the boule along a diagonal axis to maximize the clarity and strength of the finished crystal. In addition to complicating the cutting and shaping process itself, cutting the boule along a diagonal axis significantly increases the amount of waste, which further adds cost to an already expensive manufacturing process.Despite not making an appearance until just over ten years ago, the green sapphire crystal has quickly become one of the defining characteristics of the Milgauss line. Its pale green tint possesses no functional advantages over a traditional, clear/uncolored synthetic sapphire crystal; however, the green crystal that is exclusively fitted to the Rolex Milgauss 116400GV is one of the primary reasons that individuals seek out this particular reference. The green crystal is something entirely unique to the Milgauss collection and is not something that is found on any other Rolex watch, past or present.

These three watches are the newest replicas from ARF, which is a famous factory now because of their highest quality Rolex replicas.ARF Two Tone Rolex Datejust Replica Rolex 36mm Datejust Yellow Gold DialI will give a review of the model with yellow gold dial. And in the end of this article, I will show you photos of other two models. Like other Rolex made by ARF, this 36mm Datejust is fully made of 904L stainless steel, the case is very thin, only 12mm. Not like other cheap replicas with a heavy and thick case because they are using a cheaper automatic movement. The gold part of the case is plated with thick yellow gold, which is measured to be in 5 mils. So is the yellow gold fluted bezel. The case is brushed in front face, while its sides are smoothly polished, including the lugs that have been perfectly blent with the case body.Replica Rolex 36mm Datejust Jubilee Like the case and bracelet, the dial is also in yellow gold, all hour markers are three-dimensional long squares, which feature yellow gold edge and are filled with white luminescence. Hour hand and minute hand are also applied white lume material in the center. Because of high quality Swiss luminous material usage, the dial will have a very strong green light in the dark. On the outer dial, there is black minute scales in track style, black Rome markers in every five minutes.ARF Rolex Datejust Crown Rolex Datejust 904L Stainless Steel Case The two tone Jubilee bracelet also represents the highest quality workmanship of ARF watch-making technology. The Jubilee bracelet is very special, it has three secitions of yellow gold links in the middle, which is exactly in line with the yellow gold fluted bezel. The middle links in yellow gold are polished, while the links at both sides are brushed, the corner of each link at sides is polished so smooth and round, you will not feel uncomfortable when wearing the watch on hand. In our market, it is very expensive to buy one separate golden bracelet, sometimes you need to spend more than 150 US Dollars.
The replica watch is equipped with one pair of black rubber strap, different from the rubber on Hublot and other brand watches, this rubber strap has woven pattern on, which looks very unique. Finally, the replica is equipped with a Miyota 9015 movement, you know, Japanese movement is better than those clone Chinese automatic movement, it has a very low repairing rate.Although the replica AquaTimer has lost its original favor as a diving watch, I still recommend it to you guys who need a big and high quality watch.
