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.

Well, nowadays we can just find Vintage Rolex from some auctions, but there are very pretty good replica Rolex Vintage Submariner watches out there, here I am bringing you a replica 1680. Replica Rolex 1680 Case Replica Rolex 1680 Crown Comparing to the modern Rolex Submariner watches, this vintage is not so perfect on the material or some manufacture details but this is what made it vintage. Submariner Ref.1680 released in 1972 and became a hot item at that time, later Rolex released new Submariner models which has many changes from the material to design. This replica Vintage Submariner has a 40mm case which is made of 316L solid stainless steel , on the black gilt style dial, there are dot markers and three hands, all of them are in superlume, and the manufacture is exactly as the original piece. The front glass is made of plexiglass while the new edition is made of sapphire crystal, and the new one is stronger and more wearable, but this is one of the point makes it a vintage edition. The date indicator is at 3:00 position and can be adjusted via crown. Inside this vintage case, there is a Asia 2836-2 automatic movement with 28,800bph, this can ensure it is working as well as the original. The strap is also made of solid stainless steel, but BP factory is very creative to make options for folded bracelet or riveted bracelet, and the buckle is oyster lock.

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.
The biggest difference between modern AquaTimer and previous AquaTimer watches lies in their bezel design. I more prefer the two color black and yellow bezel of old AquaTimer models. Here, let use be back to the replica we are discussing, it is the latest work from V6 factory, which has expanded their watch business into every Swiss brand. V6 factory published a lot of high quality replica watches in 2016, among them, Omega Spectre is the one that gained a great success. Now this IWC AquaTimer replica is made of 316L stainless steel in case and bezel, it looks very strong and tough. The bezel has grooves so it is easy for the wearer to catch even when their hands get wet. The dial has two levels, it has a great 3D visual effect. Hour markers, hands and diving scales on outer bezel are all applied luminous material.
Inside the strong case, there is a 7750 chronograph movement, making sure it operates as well as per original. The front cover is sapphire, clear and strong. The back is cover by solid stainless steel, very Rolex style. The bracelet is made of stainless steel and matching a fold-over clasp. On the bracelet, there is a beautiful Rolex’s logo. I don’t think there is any flaws on this watch, from the color matching to the chronograph function, this is definitely a good option among such numerous men’s watches.Replica Rolex Daytona 116599 Rainbow Diamond Watch From Noob Factory .It seems that Rolex models are always unimaginative and looks old-fashion. I always think that Rolex watch is for those mature men, not so much young and passionate features. But, sometimes it brings surprise. Rolex released a new colorful Daytona model at BASEL in 2012, there were both compliment and criticism on this new Daytona with rainbow diamond on the bezel. Noob factory released its replica Daytona rainbow diamond V2 lately.

Here I will give an introduction of the same watch, but there will be some strange things you can find on the watch, have you noticed? Yes, it is the dial and case back.The replica here is also manufactured by Noob factory, with every detail made to be perfect, black dial and black ceramic bezel are main features of Submariner 116610 LN, super clone bezel has correct markers engraved in suitable depth and thickness, bezel engravings seem to be thinner than that of other Submariner replicas published before, but you can not deny this one is the best and closest to genuine.The dial is black and has a little difference with the formal 116610 LN, you can see red words “FUCK EM” printed on, the dial lume is as strong as the previous Submariner. Do not be obsessed with the thickness of these dial fonts, many people can not find such flaws even some watch experts, if you are too concerned about these small details, I suggest you buy a genuine Rolex Submariner, because a replica will never be made 100% same as genuine, its dial is the biggest tale. About the red words “FUCK EM“, I do not know its meaning, you could google it and tell us by leaving a comment under this post, thank you.Case back is smoothly polished, it is screwed down, so there is no gap between the case back and the main case holder, this design gives the replica super water resistant performance. On the center of the case back, it is curved with word “Supreme”.
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.
