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.

The GMT Master II ref. 16710 is one of the most iconic and influential examples of the brand’s multi-time zone pilot’s watch. It brought an upgraded case and movement to the line, making it a huge success and leading to its impressive production run of almost twenty years. The ref. 16710 was then replaced by the ref. 116710 in the late 2000s as a completely new generation of Rolex GMT-Master tool watches began to make an appearance with a brand new case and bracelet design, improved materials, and a new movement.Rolex developed the GMT-Master in the early 1950s at the request of Pan Am Airlines. Its release came during the dawn of international flight. The famous air carrier required a dual-time wristwatch to issue their pilots, and the GMT-Master was born. The GMT-Master II was released a number of years later in 1983 with the ref. 16760, and brought with it independent hour hands that allow the wearer to read two time zones on the dial and a third on the bezel.The first GMT-Master II ref. 16760 featured a bulkier case and is often referred to by avid collectors as the “Fat Lady” or “Sophia Loren.” In 1989, Rolex would release a refined variation of the Fat Lady GMT in the form of the sleeker reference Rolex 16710 with a thinner case and movement. The ref. 16710 was well-received among collectors for its upgraded case and movement, and it would go on to become one of the most successful GMT-Master II models, remaining in production for nearly twenty years.A completely redesigned version of the stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II was introduced in 2007, which meant the discontinuation of the long-running ref. 16710. The Rolex 116710 is similar in design as its 5-digit predecessor with an all-steel finish, a perpetual movement with independent hour hands, and a bidirectional bezel; however, that’s where its similarities end. The ref. 116710 is almost an entirely new watch and boasts a redesigned bezel, case, bracelet, and dial, as well as the newer Caliber 3186 perpetual movement.
In a word, this replica 116610 has the most accurate dial details. V8 Rolex Submariner 116610 904L Case Last thing is the movement inside, the Rolex Submariner 116610 replica is equipped with a Super Copy Cal.3135, actually this movement has been used in replica watches since 2012.

Auto rotor and movement bridges are also engraved with original Geneva Stripes. After being modified each time, the stability and durability of Super Copy Cal.3135 will be improved greatly.

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.
The helium valve button on both factories do not work. While I think AR makes the helium valve button correct because they do a better finish on the button.Both AR and Noob use 904L stainless steel to make the bracelet. While I think that the 904L stainless steel used by AR is the best in entire watch market. The first touch feeling which AR Rolex gives you is excellent, whether on the case or bracelet, the finish on AR 126600 is superior. On AR 126600, if you check the first link of the bracelet that connects the case, its compactness with the links on both sides is made better, Noob’s has a small gap. The crown logo on the buckle looks more three-dimensional on AR 126600. So, about This is the only advantage of Noob factory, because Noob offers a 3235 movement option for this Sea-Dweller 126600. I did not say the Asia 2824 on ARF is not good, it is also a very good movement, even more stable than the clone 3235 and Asia ETA 2836 used by Noob 126600.Whether in material or finish, ARF Sea-Dweller Single Red 126600 is the best. About the movement, I still vote for ARF, because the Asia 2824 movement is more stable. Now, AR factory almost has occupied the entire market of Sea-Dweller 126600, about the after-sale service, Noob’s repairing service is very slow, this is also a big reason why I do not recommend Noob here.Photos and video of Noob 126600 Now, Daytona is the proud of Noob factory, it has become the flagship model of Noob, which is more popular than their Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV. Since the usage of 904L stainless steel in replica watches industry, the emphasis which every factory puts on is the development of replica Rolex, especially the production of Daytona, which directly affect the competitive relationship between Noob and ARF.In my last post, I said Noob is ready to release two yellow gold Daytona watches, now both watches are available. Here I will give a short review one of them, it is the yellow gold one with green dial.The case of this yellow gold Daytona is 12.5mm, which almost has the same thickness as original. Thanks to Noob’s newly developed 4130 movement, so the thickness of the entire case has been reduced, at the same time, the movement can also achieve all functions of original. The inner case material is 904L stainless steel, while the outside yellow gold coating is up to 5 mils thick.Green dial is my favorite, it makes the Daytona suitable both for men and women. Every small dial works very well, each features a red circle inside. The small second hand is on the subdial at 6 o’clock, other two small dials are for minute and hour chronograph display. To reduce the probability of failure, we suggest you do not operate the chronograph buttons too often, this is true for Daytona from Noob and ARF.
Maybe it was rare to have wrist watch that can be fit for both female and man. But now you have opportunity to see this type of wrist watch. Today I felt so excited to recommend a replica which based on the genuine Omega Planet Ocean series. It was really an awesome replica due to it has broken through various of limitation so that it can satisfy the requirement of man and lady. And I believed that anyone may be moved by its perfect appearance and powerful capability because it almost inherited all advantages of the original one.This replica Omega was liked noble among diving wrist watch. Even though people felt it so precious that they were not willing to wear when diving. But it should but a glossy focus that people want to discuss. It was a fire-new fashion trend, and made diving watch become a jewelry art. Now let’s know something about its detail. Firstly, I think you may be attracted by the shinning diamond which was inlaid in the bezel. Yes, it’s the unique characteristic of this replica. How wonderful feeling we have, when we see such glossy brightness on this wrist watch. I have to admit that this replica really with skillful craft. The diamond was inlaid in the bezel steadily which was liked the stars in the sky. Its diameter was 42mm. Through the clear sapphire crystal which with AR coating, we can see that this replica with such big size dial revealed masculine temperament of man, but it can not deny that more ladies are liking big dial as well. Therefore, this replica not only can satisfy the need of female who are looking for a wrist watch with shinning glossiness and big dial, but also can be the best choice for some men who are pursing for a type of wrist watch with diamond.
Open the case back, you can find a high quality automatic movement inside, it is an Asian ETA 2836-2, the auto rotor has uniform brushing lines, its plates on the base have beautiful fish scale patterns. There are 2836-2 numerals engraved on the movement plate. If your watch is slower or faster, adjust the regulator to + or -. You can also see the balance wheel featuring a rosy shock absorber. The replica Rolex GMT Master II watch is only 3 seconds slower each day, other specifications like beat rate, lift angle are normal.Another review about a high end replica Rolex watch, it is one of my favorite replicas. To let more people understand this replica watch, I will give a detailed introduction of AR coated cyclops and some special research on this watch, at the same time, I will objectively describe the disadvantages of this replica so give you guys an objective evaluation.The watch I will introduce is the best Rolex Yacht-Master replica in the market, it is equipped with a 25-jeweled automatic movement. The picture below displays all components of this watch, it will be reviewed from case, case back, crystal, hands, bracelet and other places, as the most representative replica, this Yacht-Master has the best quality.We can notice that the replica case is refinied, the outer bezel uses sand blasting and polishing craft, the bezel of genuine Rolex Yacht-Master is made of platinum and stainless steel, the sand blasted part is stainless steel while the raised markings use platinum. To make the replica look closer to gen, its outer bezel uses the same craft on sand blasted part, on the polished raised markers, the replica is plated with Zinc, it is the only one replica Rolex Yacht-Master using this technology.The dial is the most difficult place to replicate, this blue color used on genuine dial is concocted by Rolex themselves. While being adjusted for six times, the replica dial has been done exactly the same as genuine on depth, glossiness and saturation.Certainly, the logo engraving is perfect. The lettering on case back is engraved by laser machine. This is a great attempt in replica watch field, because it can greatly reduce scratch rate and speed up productivity.Every factory has been searching for one perfect solution for the AR Coating on Rolex cyclops in the past two years, the AR Coating has always been the biggest difficulity in replicating a Rolex. The bluish tint on Rolex cyclops ar coating is actually a combination of colors, the main color is yellow, supplementary colors are blue and red, so now you have a completly brand new understanding of this?The solution of a real invisible Rolex crown was done perfectly in mid-2014, the crown design can not be said to be hidden, it is just half invosible because of being printed, you can still see it just slightly adjust the angle. While a real invisible crown logo can only be seen under special lighting conditions, the most direct way is to use a flashlight below the 6 postion, in other cases, it is very difficult to see.Refer to the making experience of mature Submariner hands, the replica features a pure red second hand, the hands are also filled with SuperLume material like the genuine Rolex watch.The bracelet uses 316L stainless steel, so it looks more glossy than the genuine.
