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.
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.
The dial can glow two lume light, green on minute hand, blue on hour markers, hour hand and the pip of second hand. By the way, the bezel pearl is superlumed green in the dark.The replica is equipped with a stainless steel bracelet, while it will also come with one pair of orange rubber band for free.Movement: Super Clone 8500 Based on Asia ETA 2836-2, Platinum Plated Movement Plates and Auto Rotor Case: 42mm*16mm, Solid 316F Stainless Steel, Brushed, Three-Dimensional Lugs Have Miltiple Cutting Faces Case Back: See-Through Crystal on The Center, Black Engravings on The Metal, Serial Number Engraving on Lug at 7 o’clock Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating Dial: Black with Orange Arabic Numeral 6, 9 and 12 as Well as Stick Hour Markers, Swiss Lume on Markers and Hands Bracelet: Solid 316F Stainless Steel, Brushed, with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 50m

At 3 o’clock position is showing the date, and what I have to mention is this special Rolex water-drop design, which can below up the number on the screen. I should day they do a good job on this replica watch too. And, the front cover is made of sapphire crystal, which is anti-scratch well.The bezel is made of stainless steel and gold, the triangle-shape design looks very shinning and fancy in the light. On the right side is the crown which we can use it to adjust the time, day and date. The Rolex logo looks as nice as the original. The strap and clap are made of stainless steel and gold, matching the case perfectly. Look at the gold strap part from the side, we can see it is still in golden not like other versions which you will see the stainless steel color. Open the clasp, all the information on it is the same as Rolex original model.So, what is inside this fancy case to drive it? It is a Seagull movement, and this is not like the replica Swiss movement we used to see in the market. This movement is working stable and last for long. Still this edition is a great choice for Rolex and stainless steel watch fans. Of course, this is also a great replica watch for those can hold this style well.Replica Rolex Datejust II 41mm 116333 Green Rome Markers Rolex is the mostly replicated brand in our watch industry, so there are a lot of watch factories here manufacturing Rolex replicas in different quality level. If you want to get the best one, you must know which factory is good at making replica Rolex. According to my knowledge, Noob factory makes good quality Rolex Submariner, while Changrong is producing nice gold Rolexs, which means that the gold coating on Rolex made by Changrong factory lasts longer and does not easily fade. Although Submariner is my most favorite Rolex whether as a formal dress watch or as a diver’s timer, sometimes a fresh Datejust will fit your business suits better, just like this one, Datejust II 116333, actually a lot of people asked me the price of this Rolex, I can not tell you its exact price because several factories make it and they have different price level. Like this one I will give a review, is sold at $610 usd, but there are cheaper ones sold at around $360 usd. So, sometimes if you want a better replica, you are also expected to be charged a large amount of money, not all replicas are cheap. The biggest advantage of Rolex Datejust 116333 replica lies in its bezel, crown and bracelet, which are wrapped 18K gold, and it is much thicker than the gold coating on common Rolex, never fade even after being worn for 2 or 3 years. The case is brushed except four polished lugs, fluted bezel, the golden tone is just echoing with the golden middle links on bracelet. The dial is also very beautiful, these contrasting color difference forms a clearly readable dial, large grey dial is set in a 41mm case, these hour markers are big Rome numbers in green color, which forms a high contrast with the gray background. Central hands are also in gold color, both hour and minute hands have white lume material applied. White minute scales are on the outer dial, there you can clearly see Rolex Rehaut that could be only found on some 1:1 high end replica Rolex.The green Rome hour markers on the dial are a bright spot of the replica, it is also one of the main reasons why there are a lot of people loving this Datejust. Besides, the replica Datejust is equipped with a Sea-Gull Clone 2836 movement, it is considered to be the most stable replica movement in watch industry. If you pursue perfection, the watch could also be equipped with a real ETA movement.Replica Rolex GMT Master II 116710 BLNR Ceramic Watch with Clone 3186116710 BLNR is the best-selling GMT Master II among replica watch field because of its eye-catching black and blue bezel. Factories like Noob in our market have already been devoted into improving every detail to manufacture the best quality replica Rolex. 116710 BLNR is the product of Noob, and it is the seventh time for the factory to make some important changes on this replica watch, although the previous versions have been perfect enough. Now the mostly asked question about the difference between V7 and V6s by my blog readers, here I must clarify the thing clear, it lies in the clasp engraving, which is polished on V7 and satin-finished on V6s.One of my clients who live in France bought two 116710 BLNR from me, the only feedback he left for us is it is a flawless replica. If you have been focusing on development of replica watch industry for years, you will know how much progress those factories have made in recent years, there are no big factories that were manufacturing such high quality replica watches before, only some small factories made some cheap replica Rolex in the past, the best were those medium quality ones. Rolex also added a lot of anti-fake features in their recent models, however, this exactly has made the factory overcome difficulties to research genuine models to produce more better 1:1 replica watches, now, every replica Rolex watch coming from big factories has all necessary features which you could find on a genuine Rolex. Please read the following specifications of this replica Rolex GMT Master II.Movement: Clone Rolex 3186, functional GMT Case: 40mm*13mm, 316L Stainless Steel Bezel: Blue/Black Ceramic Dial: Black with Superlume Hour Markers Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown at 6 o’clock Clasp: Rolesor Type .
In next year 2017, I think the factory will focus on releasing more new watches rather than continuously improving the old models, because I think such 116710 BLNR is already perfect, there are no places need to be improved, the last defect on the clasp has been corrected. If you are in pursuit of perfection, the only way to make the replica work more accurate is to install a genuine ETA movement for it, the factory offer clients such option if you can pay extra $80 usd for a genuine movement.The two big selling points of the replica lie in its bezel and function. First, the bezel uses real ceramic material, the blue and black color on bezel are real color of the ceramic, not painted, besides, the central blue hand with a big triangle is working in the same way like genuine, you can adjust GMT hand position through the crown. If you can replace with a genuine ETA movement and take good care of the replica in daily life, I mean, do not let it under water too often, it will serve you for 3-5 years. I am not cheating you, I have been in this area for years, I know how to modified these replicas to make them become stronger and realiable.Replica Rolex Explorer 216570 Watch with Clone 3187 MovementReplicating Rolex is the best job Noob factory has done, they have published a lot of good quality replica Rolex watches, including Submariner, GMT Master and Explorer, and they have always improved the details to continuously release the better versions of these watches. Among all Rolex watches, the best-selling ones are Submariner and GMT Master II, although Explorer II is not as hot as them, Noob factory has always been insisting on releasing the improved version of replica Explorer II. This time, the factory published an ultimate version of Explorer II, it is improved on the basis of V6s, the quality is better and lots of details have been improved, even a professional could not find any flaws on it. Modern Explorer II does not have too much changes, like this 216570, it inherits the original features of previous Explorer II models, so that you can easily recognize it even in a lot of Rolex watches.This V7 replica Rolex Explorer II 216570 has a lot of new features, but the most obvious one is that the watch is equipped with a clone Rolex 3187 movement. It is the first time for a factory to use a 3187 movement on Explorer II replica watch, before, you can only saw clone ETA series movement on Explorer II, now Noob factory installed such a high-grade clone 3187 movement into this replica, to make it harder to be identified as a replica. Even you open the case back, there are no wrong places you could find because the clone movement is the same as Rolex 3187. The clone 3187 has working GMT function, hand stack that you guys worried about before was also corrected this time.
Although the Rolex Submariner began its life in 1953 as a sturdy no-frills stainless steel dive watch, today, this famed diver is considered to be one of the world’s greatest luxury watches – while still very capable of plunging into the deep to accompany aquanauts. The Sub’s graduation from utilitarian to upscale no doubt began when Rolex introduced the very first Submariner in solid yellow gold. Nothing says fancy like armor made of shiny precious metal. Let’s find out which reference was the first Rolex Submariner gold watch and lay out the details. When your life depends on a limited tank of oxygen strapped to your back, you are naturally more concerned about the passing minutes rather than what day it is. Which explains why early dive models from the 1950s (Fifty Fathoms, Submariner, Seamaster 300, Breitling Superocean, etc.) didn’t worry about putting a date window on the already limited real estate of the dial. The First Yellow Gold Rolex Submariner Not only did Rolex make the Submariner ref. 1680 in stainless steel, but the company also manufactured a solid yellow gold Submariner 1680. It’s important to note that the first yellow Sub is sometimes simply called the yellow gold Submariner 1680 or the Submariner 1680/8; however, it is not the Submariner 16808 – that’s an entirely different generation. Back to the yellow gold Submariner Date 1680. Rolex’s first gold diver made its debut in 1969, flaunting an 18k yellow gold 40mm Oyster case fitted with a matching 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelet. Early examples of the Submariner ref. 1680/8 featured a rotating bezel with a black aluminum insert and a matching black dial.
The movement used by the replica Rolex Sea-Dweller D-Green is an Asian ETA 2836, which is 25 jeweled and beats 28800 times per hour. You may ask why the factory did not use a 3135. Actually compared with 3135, the Asian ETA 2836 is more reliable. Although 3135 is super cloned, it has a high repairing rate. I prefer the replicas with a ETA 2836 movement.The Best Replica Rolex Daytona Ice Blue Watch with Ceramic BezelNoob Replica Rolex Daytona Ice Blue A few weeks ago, AR factory published some Daytona replica watches with Super Asian 4130 movement, these Daytona watches have a super quality but still have a big flaw, that’s the false chronograph. Just last week, another famous factory named Noob also unveiled a series of replica Daytona watches with 4130 movement, but their 4130 Daytona replica watches have fully functional chronograph, like this ice blue Daytona I am about to review today. It is currently the best Daytona replica although not made with 904L, maybe Noob will use 904L steel to make these 4130 Daytona next time, after all they have used this superior material on their Submariner models like 116610LN and 116610LV. Like real watch, the replica Rolex Daytona features the same ice blue dial, brown ceramic bezel and full chronograph function, however, the price is a little higher than Daytona watches from other factories. In my opinion, if you are seeking for a perfect Daytona without defect, and do not mind the price, then this replica will be your best choice.Noob Replica Rolex Ice Blue Dial The Daytona is the latest work from Noob factory, it uses Cal. 4130 automatic movement that is exclusive to N factory. Not only the movement has the same thickness as genuine, it could also achieve all functions of genuine Daytona watch. Besides, the clone 4130 from Noob uses KIF shock absorber that is specially designed for this watch. The whole movement is designed according to genuine Cal.4130, the chamfer and patterns on movement plates are 1:1 original design, in a word, with such a perfect movement, this is the best replica Rolex Daytona in our market, compared with Daytonas from other factories, this is the one that looks closest to genuine. So, do not consider any more, the best is in front of your eyes.Noob Replica Rolex Ice Blue Watch Case has a diameter of 40mm and 12.5mm thick.
Now what you see is an IWC replica watch with classic black style. It with gold size 41mm. When we see it more carefully, we will find that its design elements are so special. Such as its ring. It uses two half circle to covered the ring, which is liked the shape of sailing ship, so that it has a good connection with the topic of sailing. In addition, its ring splicing blue and white color skillfully. It is really control so well to distribute colors in dial. This unique design can make us enjoy the experience of watch wearing, which is liked experiencing an exciting sailing match happily, and it is easy to read at the same time. It can show the side of mature for men to use gray and black color in dial. The red second hand is the one of attraction, it helps us to have a good view when combined with various colors. Red is so bright that can be nice decoration in black dial. It can get rid of the trouble that we become tired with same color in the whole dial. From the surface which is decorated by sapphire crystal, we can see its beauty clearly. Its case is made of 316 stainless steel, which is one kind of classic material. Undoubtedly, It may be good guarantee in hardness.
