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.
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.
While their sister-company, Tudor has garnered a strong following with their vintage-inspired heritage watches, Rolex is notorious for only moving forward with their designs, and never re-creating (or re-releasing) vintage Rolex inspired watches from the past. However, despite not manufacturing any outright heritage watches, Rolex does implement a few subtle, vintage-inspired design traits into the otherwise very modern watches that they manufacture today.Most obvious among the various vintage design elements is the red line of text on the dial of the new Rolex Sea-Dweller reference 126600. An obvious throwback to Rolex’s early Submariner and Sea-Dweller watches which had their respective names printed in red letters on the surfaces of their matte black dials, the red line of text on the dial of the new Sea-Dweller 126600 is an unmistakably vintage-inspired design element, which Rolex has recycled and reintroduced on an otherwise very modern and technologically-advanced, luxury dive watch.
As previously mentioned, the case also received a ceramic “Cerachrom” insert, which is virtually scratch-proof and will not fade and lose its vibrant color like aluminum. The ref. 116613 is also available with Rolex’s patented “Chromalight” lume on the dial, which offers a bright, blue glow for up to 8 continuous hours (as well as larger plots). Similar to the ref. 16613, the newer model Submariner Rolex 116613 is also available with either a blue or black dial and bezel combination. However, the Serti dials on the 116613 only come in blue or black (rather than champagne or silver), and do not feature sapphires set into the markers on the 6, 9, and 12 o’clock locations. Instead, ref. 116613 Serti dials only have 8 diamonds set in them, and feature lume-filled indexes for the 6, 9, and 12 o’clock hour markers.Both the Submariner 16613 and 116613 run on the Rolex Caliber 3135 perpetual movement with a 48-hour power reserve. However, the version of the Cal. 3135 inside the newer ref. 116613 is fitted with an upgraded paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring for better resistance to shocks and temperature variations.
I think most of you guys have been waiting for a long time to get such great Daytona replicas. Let me show how perfect the four Daytona replicas are.Case is a pity because Noob does not use 904L stainless steel on them. It is made of 316L stainless steel, but that’s enough. If you are seeking for perfection, maybe in the next improvement, Noob will use 904L stainless steel on case and bracelet material on these four Daytona watches. In my opinion, 316L is good enough, you know, it has been used as main watch material for a lot of years. The four Daytona replica watches here are all 40mm in case diameter, and 13mm thick. For 116500, the bezel uses black ceramic, and 116520 uses stainless steel bezel. The inside case back is engraved with correct information like genuine. The case back is screwed down, it is sealed perfectly.For 116500 and 116520, each has black dial and white dial available. Three subdials are working like genuine Rolex Daytona.
Maybe they have already felt strong competitiveness from AR factory, if still can not bring us some big surprises, they will be completely defeated.Back to the V10 Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV. 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. The latter one has the same time and date adjustment as genuine Rolex 3135 Calibre. Both have a high quality.Please read the following specification to know both watches better, and check a lot of photos below. Movement: Super Asia 3135/Asia ETA 2836 Automatic Case: 40mm*13mm, Solid 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Uni-directional Rotating Black Ceramic, Anti-clockwise Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown Logo at 6 o’clock Dial: Black with Superlume on Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: Solid 904L Stainless Steel with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 30m
The Rolex Two-Tone Submariner 16613 is available on a flat-link Oyster bracelet with hollow 18 karat yellow gold center links and an Oysterlock clasp. Like other Submariner watches, the clasp on the ref. 16613 features a wetsuit extension system that allows the length of the bracelet to be adjusted on the fly to fit comfortably over wetsuits.Depending on the year of production, Submariner 16613 bracelets can be found with slight differences between their clasps, end-links, and wetsuit extension systems. Earlier examples will have hollow end-links, all-steel clasps, and stamped wetsuit extensions, while later-era 16613 Submariner bracelets will have solid end-links, a link-style extension system, and a clasp featuring a 18k yellow gold strip through the center.The ref. 16613 is the result of Rolex’s tireless quest for perfection. Its long production run has spawned several variations, making it a fun watch to “hunt” for on the pre-owned Rolex market. It’s also a popular choice for its stunning two-tone steel and gold finish, and it is an excellent option for anyone who seeks a gold Rolex sports watch without the hefty price tag that accompanies an all-gold watch.
