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.
Ladies Datejust Rolex Watches – Good Gift for Your Girlfriend in 2018 April 33mm Rolex Datejust MOP Dial On my blog, most watches are for men, there are few watches introduced to ladies except some Cartier Ballon Bleu models. I rarely reviewed ladies watches here but does not mean that there are no good quality replicas for women, in fact, manufacturers like Noob, ZF, BP, etc, they all made good quality replica watches for ladies, especially BP factory, the ladies Rolex Datejust watches made by them are selling well online. Here I will introduce several Datejust models manufactured by BP, they are really beautiful timepieces that can show female charm at the most. Here I will post pictures of eight watches, four of them are in 33mm and the others are 28mm in case diameter. The factory used diamonds and mother of pearl on these Rolex Datejust watches, to make them full of ladies unique temperament. The first one is my favorite, it has a 33mm case diameter, bezel is embeded with diamonds, mother-of-pearl dial features black printings, which look elegent, while these star-shaped diamond hour markers add brilliance to this replica watch. The big rome digit “IX” is also embeded with diamonds, it becomes the biggest feature of these ladies Datejust Rolex watches. A small window at 3 o’clock displays date in black font. Case is polished, while the wide links of bracelet is brushed. The movement inside is an Asian ETA 2836 automatic. let’s appreciate these ladies watches below.wo Tone Blue Rolex Submariner 116613 Replica Watch Just Published Two Tone Rolex Submariner 116613 ReplicaLike AR, VR is a new factory that manufactures high quality replica Rolex watches in our market. I have not heard of VR factory since the beginning of 2018. There are several important models published by Noob and AR factory in recent days, they are Submariner 116610LN, 116610LV, 116520 Daytona, etc. These are the best quality replicas that are not only made with the highest grade 904L stainless steel, but also use the most innovative movement. With so many choices on replica Rolex, some people always asked me for the best one, for example, which factory makes the best Submariner? In my opinion, this depends on how much money you can spend. You can always get a moderate quality Submariner replica from BP facory at a good price, for the best Submariner, I recommend you buy from Noob, which is a big factory that has been famous for producing black Submariner for many years, they have the highest grade version of Black Sub 116610LN. For this two tone Submariner 116613 replica, it is from VR factory, although sold at a high price, its quality could be compared with Noob Submariner’s. VR Factory Rolex Submariner 116613 Replica Its high price lies in two places. First, the 18K gold coating on case and bracelet. Case is not made of 904L stainless steel, but 316L, but the case has thick 18K gold coating, which is measured to be 5 mils. Actually the biggest highlight is the 18K gold coating on bracelet, I have checked the central links of the bracelet, each side has been coated 18K real gold, this is amazing, few manufacturers can do it so well. Bezel is also two tone, blue ceramic bezel insert has golden engravings and clicking tooth. Please check the logo on crown, I think it is closer to genuine Rolex Crown logo thant that of Noob Submariner.VR Factory Rolex Submariner Blue Replica The dial of two tone 116613 is blue, dial printings are in yellow gold tone, hour markers have golden edge and filled with white luminescence.
If you have a vintage Rolex Datejust manufactured prior to the introduction of Caliber 3035, then your particular model is a non-quickset Datejust. To set the date and time on a Non-Quickset Rolex Datejust, follow these steps:Unscrew the winding crown by turning it counterclockwise until it releases from the case.Turn the crown clockwise around 25 times to manually wind the watch (it’s always a good idea to hand-wind the watch while setting it even if it is an automatic movement).Pull the crown out to the last notch.Rotate the crown to advance the timekeeping hands. Keep turning until the correct date appears in the date window. When the correct date appears, you are now in AM hours; now set the time accordingly taking into consideration if it is currently AM or PM.Push the crown all the way back in and screw it down to the case.To set the date and time on a Quickset Rolex Datejust, follow these steps:Unscrew the winding crown by turning it counterclockwise until it releases from the case Turn the crown clockwise around 25 times to manually wind the watch (it’s always a good idea to hand-wind the watch while setting it even if it is an automatic)Pull the crown out one notch to set the date (the timekeeping hands will continue to run in this position).Rotate the crown to adjust the date.

The biggest change is made on the bezel, which Noob factory claims that is could be interchanged with the bezel of genuine Submariner. The engraved depth of the bezel markers are the same as that of genuine Submariner, besides, the Platinum tone of the bezel markers will not fade as time goes by.About the movement, Noob offers two options, one is an Asia ETA 2836, the other is a Super Clone 3135.
