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.
Actually there are a lot of vintage Rolex in genuine watch market, but most of them have been out of stock now. So, people who love vintage Rolex turn to seek for perfect replicas of them. However, it is hard for them to get a perfect replica of vintage Rolex, sometimes it is even difficult to get one because these vintage Rolex watches are also very rare in replica watch market. Vintage watches usually appeared in Rolex series like Submariner, GMT Master II, Daytona and Milgauss. I have introduced these replicas here on my blog, for example, Daytona Paul Newman, Double Red Sea-Dweller, Comex Submariner, etc. Today, I am going to introduce another vintage Rolex Submariner replica, which was ordered by one of my clients.

In the beginning of 2018 year, a lot of factories published several new models, some are amazing.

For a number of years, modern consumer trends have been favoring larger watches. As a result of this, Rolex’s 34mm references have become somewhat forgotten in all the excitement and shuffle that surrounds their larger, sport/professional watchlines. However, recently it seems that smaller-sized watches are starting to make a comeback, and Rolex’s once-overlooked, 34mm watches now represent some of the best values for the money among all Rolex timepieces, both vintage and contemporary.When it comes to Rolex sports watches, the Submariner and Explorer II are amongst the most beloved. And despite the fact that they are both tough, purpose-built timepieces, they’re just about as different as it gets in nearly all respects.But if you’re not very familiar with either watch, comparing these two industry titans can seem daunting. So here, I’m breaking down everything you need to know – and compare – about the Rolex Submariner and the Rolex Explorer II.True sports watches, both the Submariner and Explorer II were built by Rolex with specific jobs in mind – and the hint lies in their names. Unsurprisingly, the Submariner is a divers watch, built to time out scuba dives and withstand the unrelenting pressure of 300-meter (1,000 foot) depths. In fact, this watch has been one of the world’s top diving watches since it was first released back in 1953.The Explorer II, on the other hand, was originally introduced in 1971 for speleologists who work in deep underground caverns. But like the original Rolex Explorer – the watch that provided its foundation – the Explorer II appeals to adventurers and explorers of all kinds, especially since its popular 40th anniversary remodel.
However, these two differences are not important, because we are buying one replica watch that look very close to genuine in appearance. In overall finish, the watch is an 1:1 original Swiss replica. The 007 Commander adopts fresh and bright color design. Red, white and blue paid a tribute to the British Royal Navy, which adds solemnity to this watch.41mm stainless steel case, white ceramic dial, blue hour and minute hands in skeleton, red second hand with “007” logo.Like genuine watch, the replica use anti-reflective coating on sapphire crystal, so the crystal has a high transparency and the dial is extremely readable.About the dial lume, UR factory imported Japanese non-radioactive luminous material, when being applied on hour markers and hands, the brightness and color are very close to genuine watch. A lot of replicas in our market use cheap luminous material, you can see their lume light is not correct.New case back design is different from previous Seamaster 300M diver’s watches. The case back rim has “Commander’s Watch” engravings. Wave-shaped edge is more convenient for you to open and screw the case back.Besides the military nato strap, UR factory also offers one stainless steel bracelet for free. Simply speaking, this is a replica watch with impressive color design, if you are young and full of passion, you should try it.
The lume on dial and bezel pearl is blue. As I mentioned above, there is another factor that makes this replica expensive, it is the movement inside. Yes, the replica is equipped with a real ETA 2836 movement, not an Asian clone one. The following are more details of this replica. Rolex Submariner 116613 Blue Dial Movement: Swiss ETA 2836 Automatic Case: 40mm*13mm, Two Tone, 316L Stainless Steel with 18K Yellow Gold Coating Bezel: Blue Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel, Ceramic Dial: Blue with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands Crystal: Sapphire with Tiny Rolex Crown in Crystal at 6Band: Two Tone Style, 18K Yellow Gold Coating on 316L Stainless Steel Clasp: Deployant Buckle Water Resistant: 50m Replica Rolex Silver Grey Daytona with 4130 Movement Replica Rolex Silver Grey Daytona In the beginning of 2018, AR factory published a few Rolex Daytona replica watches that are not only made of 904L stainless steel, but also equipped with innovative Rolex 4130 automatic movement. These Daytona replicas all have one big disadvantage, that is they are not fully chronograph watch. I have introduced a lot of Daytona watches here before, but they have a full working chronograph function, while this Daytona replica made by AR factory has false subdials at 3:00 and 9:00. However, the chronograph buttons could be pushed, means the central second-chronograph hand will start to work once you press the button at 2:00. One thing we have to admit is this is the Daytona replica that has the closest look to original. If you are in pursuit of perfection in outlook of a replica, this Daytona is your best choice.Replica Rolex Daytona Grey Sometimes you need to sacrifice some functions in order to make other features perfect. Like this replica Daytona, in order to clone a flawless movement that looks 100% the same as genuine 4130, the factory decorates the movement plates and auto rotor perfectly, so it could not be spotted as a fake when somebody in the boutique opened the case back.Replica Rolex Daytona Black Ceramic Bezel The case is 40mm in diameter, it is brushed while the lugs are polished. Black bezel is ceramic made with white tachymeter scales. Silver grey dial has three black subdials at 3, 6 and 9. The small second hand is working smoothly on the subdial at 6 o’clock. Hour markers are filled with white luminous material, so are hands, they will emit strong blue light at night.I love this silver grey Daytona watch, it is highly uniform in color match. For example, black ceramic bezel, black subdials and black rubber band. The silver grey dial also perfectly matches 904L stainless steel case.Replica Rolex Daytona Grey Case Back Watch Specification:Movement: Clone 4130 Automatic, Working Second-Chronograph Hand, Fixed Small Seconds of Subdials at 3 and 9 Case: 40mm*13mm, 904L Stainless Steel, Black Ceramic Bezel Crystal: Sapphire Crystal with Etched Laser Crown Logo at 6 Dial: Silver Grey Bracelet: Black OysterFlex Rubber Band with New Style Flip Lock Clasp Water Resistant: 50m Replica Rolex Day Date 40mm Full Yellow Gold Watch From CR Factory Replica Rolex Day Date Yellow Gold Watch Day Date is a good series of Rolex to show wearer Day and Date at the same time.

Today, I am going to introduce a full yellow gold Rolex Day Date replica watch, which is made by CR factory, CR means Chang Rong in Chinese Pin Yin.
On top is the sapphire crystal to cover the elegant dial.The bracelet is made of the same material as its case, and on the folding buckle, there are the Rolex logo and other information of the model, just as the same as per original.

Even though this watch is designed for professional yacht player firstly, but it became a classic and hot model Rolex. More and more people choose it as a timepiece or decoration on the wrist for sport or business occasion. You know, everything happens in fashion.This replica Rolex Submariner has two edition, a normal edition and a latest V6S edition. Here is the difference between these two: there is a laser Anti-counterfeiting Rolex logo on the front case at 6:00 position, this is exactly as original edition. This logo has to use magnifier or put it at a 45 degree under the light to see it. But, the ordinary edition has the painted crown logo that can be seem directly. There comes very the original Rolex package, very fancy and high-class.Replica Rolex GMT Master II 116710LN Black Ceramic Bezel When the factory told me that this watch is the best replica Rolex GMT-Master II watch so far in the market, I was wondering how it would be. I hold this new arrival in my hand and look into it carefully, then I agree with what I was told. No matter the look or the material, it is exactly the same as the original. I think you would like me to show you more details as below.It seems that Rolex designed the GMT-Master II for specific group, but more and more people who travel a lot or love traveling would prefer to wear this watch. The reason is the elegant look and its useful functions. The 40mm case is made of 314L stainless steel and looks good not only during travelling all over the world but also good for any business occasions. On the black dial, there are dots and stick markers, and except for the hour, minute and second function, there is also date display and GMT. The date indicator is at 3:00, and we can see it adopts Rolex’s traditional water-drop design to enlarge it. On the black bezel we can see there are numbers and markers, this is the most outstanding specification of this GMT-Master II watch, from hands on the dial we can tell the local time, and from the bezel and the 24-hour hand we can tell the time zone when you travel. And this is can be adjusted by the crown, so the traveler can always know the time of the departure and arrival places at the same time. The bezel is made of ceramic material, matching the sapphire cover perfectly. The strap is very Rolex style type, matching a folding clasp.The reason they said this is the best edition of replica Rolex GMT-Master II is that it is driven by a 1:1 super clone 3186 automatic movement, which can support it to work as well as the original. And, this watch looks younger than other gold and stainless steel models, looking good on the young as well.Specification: Movement: Clone 3186 Automatic Case: 40mm*13mm, 316L stainless steel Bezel: Real Black Ceramic Crystal: Sapphire, Anti-scratchDial: Black Bracelet: Solid 316L Stainless Steel Water Resistant: 100m .Replica Rolex Day Date II Two Tone 18K Gold Watch ReviewI am going to show you a replica Rolex Day Date II watch that is a very classic model from this classic watch brand.

The replica edition of this Rolex watch I want to present to is the best one I have met, as it is made of real 18K gold instead of gold-plating in most of the replica versions.Looking on the elegant white dial, we can see there are three golden needles and Roman numeral markers. I always like Roman numeral markers are much more than other styles, what do you think? At 12 o’clock position is the week window, and below the window there is Rolex’s logo which is attractive as always.
