Today marks the beginning of the sale of the Rolex Daytona capsule collection, which we are proud to offer in partnership with Sotheby’s. The auction includes a selection of 13 top-of-the-line timepieces, synonymous with racing, that together outline the history of the Rolex chronograph.
The sale includes early replica watches from the 1940s before Daytona’s launch, together with the coveted Daytona ceramic ring. When Daytona released the watch several years ago, it sparked years of waiting lists. While each of the 13 unusual pieces represents a rare and extremely popular timepiece, here we highlight just a few — each symbolizing a different stage in Daytona’s long and glorious history.
The latest stainless steel Rolex replica to join the brand’s catalog is the reference 116500. By taking design cues from early vintage Daytona models and fusing them with ultra-modern innovations, the ref. 116500 caused an absolute sensation upon its release several years ago. The most obvious change to accompany this new generation of stainless steel Daytona fake watches was the inclusion of a black “Cerachrom” bezel on top of its 40mm Oyster case. The use of a black bezel echoes the design of certain vintage Daytona references that were fitted with black acrylic bezels.
There is a famed in-house Caliber 4130 automatic movement inside the watch which made its debut in 2000. However, Rolex redefined its ‘Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified’ parameters in 2015 to guarantee a daily accuracy rating of -2/+2 seconds a day – double that of the constraints set by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute. While the stainless steel Daytona 116500 is currently in production at Rolex, finding one at an authorized retailer can take years because of immense waitlists.
1988 was a great milestone year for Rolex chronographs because it was the year that the popular Rolex introduced the very first self-winding Daytona. Powered by the Caliber 4030, which was based on the Zenith El-Primero movement, this family of Daytona watches is commonly referred to as the “Zenith Daytona” among collectors. This generation of Daytona watches remained in production for 12 years until it was interrupted in 2000.
The Rolex Daytona replica was the stainless steel version of the brand’s first generation of automatic chronographs and it was a smash hit just right out of the gate. Proudly modern in design, the Oyster case of this Daytona 16520 grew to a contemporary 40mm in size, included crown guards for the first time, and was fitted with a sapphire crystal instead of acrylic ones.

The way Rolex works is mysterious. Some people find it annoying and deviant, while others tirelessly experience its charms. I myself slowly changed from the former to the latter. All of this is to say that when Rolex has something new – anything – I ask myself, “why is Rolex doing this?”Speaking of the subject of this article, replica Rolex GMT-Master II 126719BLRO Pepsi with a meteorite dial, I think I’ve found it at first glance.
When the first 21st century Rolex Pepsi GMT debuted in 2014, owning a Rolex watch was out of reach for me, and I was nonetheless very excited about this release. I remember being on the edge of my seat and seeing the first official Rolex video of this watch drop.
Last year, fake Rolex dropped the bomb by launching the steel-version Pepsi, sold exclusively on the five-link Jubilee bracelet to differentiate the steel variant from the much more expensive all-white-gold watch for which customers had been shelling out considerable sums for several years. Many would agree that public outrage has abated, but the truth is that even on Jubilee, steel Pepsi is a very tempting and appealing proposition for many in Pepsi’s current lineup.
2019 witnessed that steel Rolex GMT Pepsi untouched, while the 40mm-wide, 18k white-gold version got an expectedly well-received meteorite dial option that is, naturally, not configurable for any other version, just the 18k white gold GMT-Master II 126719BLRO reference.
I say this because most all specially engineered aspects of Rolex watches are somehow explained by the brand sooner or later. That is because Rolex replica dedicates tremendous effort to solving problems and answering questions many other manufacturers gloss over. For its beautifully gem-set watches, Rolex dedicates special attention to praising its in-house gemological know-how. What I can say is that if you feel like owning a meteorite dial Rolex, you have but a handful of other options too: Currently in production are the Day-Date 40 (in all-white gold) and the Pearlmaster 34 and, surprisingly, the Datejust 31 in steel, with an 18k white gold bezel.
It seems there is nothing else to be added to the meteorite dial option on the Rolex GMT-Master II 126719BLRO Pepsi, other than the fact that it joins an objectively narrow circle of unique Rolex replica watches to have ever been factory-fitted with a dial of extraterrestrial origin, and that it remains one of only a handful of components that Rolex is proud to use, yet has absolutely nothing to say about.
It’s worth noting that my friend and our senior editor bilal reminded me of the return of the blue dial of 18ct for the Gmt-master II Pepsi – on the oyster bracelet, of course. Now, 2019 will see the return of the amazing fake watch, albeit with a small crown added at 6 o ‘clock – a nuance that suggests the new 3285 calibers, updated internally, exceeds 2018 3186. Still, platinum-free Pepsi could be a collectible in wine decades from now, but the market has tried to price that premium.

Located in Richmond Upon Thames in London, England, the Kew Observatory known as the King’s Observatory doesn’t open to the public any more, only through the closest that you can get to it, but just a glimpse through high metal gates.
During its heyday, the Kew Observatory was a hub of activity. It was built in 1769 for King George III to visit the passage of Venus across the face of the sun. In the following century, the building was used as the National Physical Laboratory, mainly for testing replica watch movements and this is where the Kew Observatory was so essential in the history of Rolex.
Marine chronometers had played an important role in marine navigation because they could help find a ship’s position by way of celestial navigation. Invented by John Harrison in 1761, the marine chronometer became the gold standard in precision timekeeping. Actually, marine chronometers were significantly important to the rise of the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy, which was the world’s strongest navy from the mid-18th century until WWII.
In the first ten years of the 20th century, pocket watches and marine chronometers dominate the precision department. At that time, a reliable and accurate watch was nowhere to find. To give legitimacy to wristwatches, Rolex’s founder, Hans Wilsdorf embarked on a chronometer certificates mission.
Acquiring the Kew A certificate in 1914 was no doubt an important milestone for fake Rolex. However, that piece not only housed a specifically designed movement, but it was also a ladies’ watch. Since then, Rolex had attained Kew certifications for serially produced movements. Overall, the goal was to position the brand that capable of producing chronometric fake watches for men and women on a bigger scale.
According to the author and Rolex historian, James M. Dowling, Rolex produced 145 movements over four years (the late 1940s – early 1950s) to submit to Kew testing. Only 9 of them failed to pass, and the remaining 136 watches all won the Kew “Class A” certificate. The author claims that in these 136 Rolex watches, there were 112 steel Speedking models in man-size and 24 larger 18k gold models. Featured with “KEW “A” CERTIFICATE” text on their dials, these extremely rare vintage Rolex watches are rarely seen out in the wild.
Nowadays, Rolex replica watches are famously chronometer-certified by the COSC in Switzerland, in addition to Rolex’s more strict, in-house ‘Superlative Chronometer’ inspection. However, it’s important to remember that the English Kew Observatory was an early and significant stepping-stone in Rolex’s lifelong quest to make the most accurate mechanical watches possible.

The auction season for branded watches just has been held in Geneva several years ago. It’s a pleasant time for Rolex replica lovers to find the leading Swiss watch brand that will achieve what kind of records on the auction block. Big new was the record-breaking Bao Dai Rolex that sold for over a million at the Phillips’ Geneva watch auction. Nevertheless, Christie’s had their own Rolex record-breaker with a very unique Submariner at their Rare replica watches and a Rolex Afternoon sale on May 15, 2017, in Geneva. Actually, it has become the most expensive Rolex Submariner at auction.
There is much buzz around this particular Submariner previous to Christie’s sale due to its untraditional design. It’s different from any other Submariner. This is because of a prototype. A vintage white Gold Submariner is impossible to make a reproduction.
The most expensive watch has an 18k white gold 40mm case with a revolving white gold bezel. The engine-turned bezel is more akin to what we see on Turn-O-Graph timepieces from the era rather than Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner watches. The case houses a blue silky dial with the nipple hour markers characteristically used on gold Submariner and GMT-Master watches at that time.
The bracelet style is just as interesting as the material and bezel. Rather than the customary Oyster bracelet, this particular Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner sports a President bracelet! In white gold! With bark accents on the center links! Talk about a break from the Submariner design aesthetic.
This 18k white gold Replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner is one of only three famous to exist – another blue dial version and a black dial version. This trio of prototypes never made it to production. It’s fascinating to remind that the first white gold Submariner lastly arrived after 35 years with the Submariner.
An unbelievable part of the history of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner and the company at large, this model now holds the crown for the highest selling price Submariner ever sold. The record was formerly held by the Submariner “Big Crown” of James Bond fame. It was sold at Phillips’ Geneva auction in November 2016.
Due to its rarity, special design, and a peek into a Rolex “mockup,” it’s not astonishing that it achieved such a high selling price in the market.
We’ll be keeping sparing no effort to find out that this fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner will hold its most expensive Submariner record for how long. What’s your idea of the white gold Submariner prototype?

During the ongoing auction season, we have already seen several amazing, unique watches emerging the auction block. Some of them was sold even more than the six-figure price point. Sotheby’s New York will host their Important Watches auction today. As usual, a number of extraordinary fake watches are being presented for sale to the highest bidder.
The fake watch 8171, affectionately named the “Padellone” (means large frying pan in Italian), is regarded one of the most desirable vintage cheap watches available at the moment. The replica rolex watch was produced for only three year, limited amount was made, and it is one of only two inexpensive Rolex watches that feature a moonphase function.
The specific 8171 is in greatly reserved. The dial is not restored and almost flawless, the case is pretty new and in unpolished status, and the markings on its snap-on case back still remain new and legible. Sotheby’s has estimated the price at 100,000-200,000 USD; nevertheless the unique model with crystal dial exceeded the million-dollar mark at Christie’s New York back in 2013, so this is absolutely a great potential fake watch. 
According to Sotheby’s, there only remain 4 Patek Philippe fake watches with 8-day movements. There are two other instances of vintage Patek Philippe replica watches with 8-day movements available on the market; but both previous models had had their cases repaired. This specific watch, which can be traced back to 1931, is the only known model remains in its original case, and comes with it a movement of number of 198450.
A markings on the back of the fake watch from 1934 notates the location of Beverly Hills, California – an fascinating detail, the other two vintage 8-day Patek Philippe cheap watches were assumed to be originally retailed by Brocks & Company in Los Angeles. Sotheby’s has estimated the exceedingly rare watch to be sold at price 150,000-250,000 USD. What comes with the watch is an official Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives, which corroborate the original selling date was June 21, 1932. Even though the watch is not supposed to break records, this watch will still receive a fairly high bid.

In order to celebrate 60 years of involvement in the gentlemanly sport of yachting last month, Rolex handed out stunning Yacht-Master watches at one of the world’s most prestigious regattas, the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, resulting in a wonderful season totally.
As we all know, first held in 1945, the 628-nautical mile race is one of the most prominent and important sailing events among the 15 major international regattas that Rolex now sponsors around the world. The iconic replica watch manufacturer has been a sponsor of the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race since 2002, and it was about ten years since the Yacht-Master line of watches was firstly introduced to their catalog.
It was In 1958 that, after introducing their highly water-resistant Submariner line of dive replica watches five years later, Rolex wisely forged a ‘privileged relationship’ with the most elite circles in boat racing, by cooperating with several of the sport’s most exclusive and influential yacht clubs, including the New York Yacht Club in Newport, RI; the Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes, UK; and the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in Sardinia. Based on Sail World, the 2019 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race took place between December 26th and December 31st, was challenged by a hugely diverse and competitive 85-strong fleet which consisted of experienced and talented sailors, and was one of the most exciting competition in 73-year history of the race incredibly.  
After a difficult battle with the 100-ft. maxi yacht, Wild Oats XI, it was Phillip Turner’s 66-ft. ship, Alive that won the race finally by judged. The sleek, Reichel/Pugh designed boat is the first yacht from the isolated Australian island of Tasmania to win the race since 1979. It was at Grand Chancellor Hotel in Hobart, Tasmania (where the race ends) that the Official Prize Giving hold, attended by Patrick Boutellier, the General Manager of Rolex Australia presiding together with regatta officials, including the Governor of Tasmania and the Commodore of the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania.
Alive skipper, Duncan Hine received three trophies totally, including the coveted Tattersall Cup, and was also presented with a particle engraved Rolex Yacht Master for the overall win in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. Since it was the first yacht to cross the finish line, Turner also received a Yacht-Master for ‘line honors’. Boutellier said that they are very proud to be a part of this race along with Rolex replica at the prize giving. What should point out is that the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is rather a wonderful thing among many events that they support worldwide.

As we all know, most Rolex replica watches can be identified immediately, some reason is that the brand is sticking to certain design standards, whether the case size and shape, bracelet type, or bezel style. On the other hand, Rolex watch collections are various due to the abundance of dial are available for consumer to choose on most extent. Except standard colored metal dials, Rolex also adapt some very interesting dial materials such as semi-precious stones and even space rocks! Today we have a look at an fantastic Rolex Day-Date furnished with a meteorite dial. 
In order to create their meteorite dials, Rolex replica uses material from the famous Gibeon meteorites. Named after the Namibian town it was found in, the Gibeon meteorites fell to earth during the prehistoric times, covering an area stretching 171 miles long and 62 miles wide. The indigenous Nama people had been using the meteorites to create tools and weapons for generations. Until in 1838, English explorer James Edward Alexander came across the material during his travels. He sent some samples back to London, and well-known scientist John Herschel confirmed their extraterrestrial origins finally. 
Due to crisscross-like Widmanstätten pattern is rather cherish, Rolex treats the Gibeon meteorite material with an acid wash to emphasize its design before they make the dials. The meteorite dial on this Rolex Day-Date 118206 adds a captivating look and fascinating texture to any Rolex watch it is used in. Today, since the strict Namibian laws protect the meteorites, these famed rocks can not be taken any longer from there.
One special model of Rolex showcase is the ultra-prestigious platinum Day-Date ref. 118206 with the rare meteorite dials, which is still a part of Rolex’s current catalog. This Fake Rolex President features a 36mm case, smooth domed bezel, and (naturally) the famous President bracelet with semi-circular links. From the silvery meteorite dial, we can see the characteristic date window at 3 o’clock—magnified by the Cyclops lens on the crystal—along with the full day of the week displayed on the window at 12 o’clock. Interestingly, there are Arabic numeral minute markers instead of the hours, further accompanied with a duo of diamond indexes at 6 and 9 o’clock. The Day-Date 36 ref. 118206 runs on the Rolex Caliber 3155 automatic movement with 48 hours of power reserve.
In all, this is a very simple and special watch, not like the Rolex President made from platinum, diamonds, and meteorite which is too precious.

Back from the 1970s, the Explorer II was firstly released, Rolex often released a second generation of watch series. Sometimes, the two editions are very similar to each other, like the Datejust and the Datejust II. Sometimes the two collections, like the Yacht-Master and the Yacht-Master II, are thoroughly different watches. If you have thought about the question what the differences between the fake rolex Yacht-Master fake watches, then follow our introduction. 
Rolex debuted the first Yacht-Master in 1992 as a nautical high-end luxury watch. This was not a utilitarian tool watch like the Submariner or the GMT-Master, even though you can use the bezel to time for one match, but rather, a fashionable luxury watch to wear at sea. The full 18k yellow gold body of the initial 40 mm Yacht-Master establish the luxurious touch of the collection. Over the next two years, Rolex made the collection more completed via bringing out midsize and ladies’ size versions of the Yacht-Master.
Except basic function of showing the time, the Yacht-Master and the Yacht-Master II have major difference in functionality. With the movement of Rolex Cal. 3135 with a 48-hour power reserve, the dial of the Yacht-Master comes with center hours, minutes, and sweeping seconds as well as a date window at 3 o’clock.
On contrary, the Yacht-Master II comes with Caliber 4161, that is one of Rolex’s most complicated movements til now. Except the center hour and minute hands and seconds sub-dial , the replica watches equipped the Yacht-Master II with a regatta countdown function via patented mechanical memory and on-the-fly-synchronization. Moreover, the bezel,called as Ring Command, is not just for decoration and functionality, but it is also a part of the movement. The Yacht-Master II has 72 hours of power reserve. 
They maybe similar in name, but as we’ve demonstrated, the Yacht-Master and the Yacht-Master II are fake watches of major differences. The first is a extravagant time and date Rolex replica sports watch while the other is a large, daring, and complicate Rolex watch built for competitions.
No matter which version replica watch you choose, both of them represent watches in their own distinctive way.

Dating all the way back to 1953, the original Rolex Explorer line can be regarded as Rolex’s very first professional sports watch. Even though these rugged timepieces were intended for professional use, they lacked any specific features or complications that would make them particularly tailored to exploration or the outdoors. On the contrary, they were simply highly durable, self-winding watches that displayed nothing more than the time of day.
Rolex expanded their Explorer line of watches with the release of the reference 1655. Instead of simply being a revised version of the existing Explorer watch, the reference 1655 was a totally different timepiece; and as such, was given the “Explorer II” designation. Rather than replacing the existing Explorer, the reference 1655 Explorer II was to be provided alongside the traditional, time-only Explorer watch as a complementary offering within the fake Rolex catalog. 
Designed for speleologists exploring deep caverns below the surface of the earth, the reference 1655 was uniquely engineered for those living and working for extended periods of time in low-light conditions. What’s more, a large, bright orange, arrow-shaped, 24-hour hand was added to serve as a prominent AM/PM indicator, so that its users would not lose their sense of time after spending several days in total darkness.
In order to provide the extra functionality of a 24-hour hand and date complication, the fake Rolex equipped the Explorer II 1655 with the same 26-jewel, COSC-rated, caliber 1575 movement that they used inside their GMT-Master line of watches. Besides, the luxury replica watch also acquired the “Steve McQueen” nickname due to a Rolex advertising campaign that featured the famous Hollywood actor. However, it should be noted that no proof exists that McQueen ever actually owned or wore this special model; instead most photographs show the actor wearing a reference 5513 Submariner in his personal life.
The reference 1655 is crucial significant because it was the very first Explorer II, and no other watch that the replica Rolex has ever produced looks anything like it. Subsequent generations of the Explorer II most closely resemble GMT-Master II watches with fixed, stainless steel bezels and the option of a white dial; however the reference 1655 was a timepiece completely of its own design, and represents the original, unadulterated idea that Rolex had for the Explorer II watch. Although it was relatively unpopular while it was in production, the reference 1655 is now highly sought after by collectors thanks to its very special appearance and important position within Rolex’s long and illustrious history.

There are many historic wristwatches in the timepiece market. In 1963 a new chronograph was introduced to the Professional series designed to celebrate the profession of race car driving: the Cosmograph – later named Daytona after its official designation as the Official Timepiece of the Daytona International Speedway in Florida. The invention of the Cosmograph name by Rolex told us that this latest-introduced model was a leap in craftsmanship and design for the company, and the results revealed unprecedented engineering and artistry in timekeeping design.
One of the most famous innovations came through the contrasting color schemes between the counters and the dial, with either black or white, or white on black, allowing easier readability. What’s more, the tachymeter scale – permitting wearers to measure average speeds over a given distance – inscribed around the circumference of the bezel gave the dial a more pronounced aesthetic. 
The manually-wound mechanical movement of replica Rolexes had always been praised for their precision and reliability, and the introduction of new dials further enhanced the mass appeal of the Cosmograph. One unique dial that earned considerable attention was the one preferred by Paul Newman, a dial made famous thanks to the Hollywood star and race car enthusiast wearing that particular Daytona model regularly.
In 1965 new modifications were introduced, including screw-down pushers, rather than pump pushers from the original, further solidifying the waterproof Oyster concept. The replica Oyster Cosmograph also became available in an 18 carat yellow gold version with the now iconic “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” on the dial.
The Cosmograph Daytona took a major innovative leap in 1988 by becoming self-winding. Quartz replica watches had most recently become available in other timepieces, but the Rolex replica stuck with the intricate mechanical movements it had been producing since its formation.
The Calibre 4130 marked a new progress in self-winding chronograph movements, which was specifically designed for the Cosmograph Daytona and manufactured exclusively in-house. This new movement marked an unprecedented achievement in engineering and design, producing a self-winding chronograph unequaled in durability, efficiency, precision and reliability. The engineers behind the Calbre 4130 were able to cut the mechanism components by 60%, increasing space and making it possible to support a bigger mainspring that helps extend power reserve from 50 to 72 hours. 
Apart from the sexy Cerachrom bezel they rolled out in 2016, Rolex equipped the calibre 4130 with a Paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, creating an accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per day. What’s more, the calibre 4130 is also developed to accommodate a Cerachrom Tachymeter bezel and chronograph functions. No matter if you’re in the market for purchasing a vintage Daytona to add to your collection, the fact remains: the replica Rolex Daytona is really a timeless classic.
