One of the similarities of the fake Patek Philippe and replica Rolex is that both attract very strong defenders and very vocal detractors. However, it’s also true that just as the fake Rolex for a reason, so replica Patek for a reason and one area in which the company has traditionally excelled, has been in the making of highly complicated watches. In celebration of the opening of The Art of Watches Grand Exhibition on July 13, Patek has announced the release of a new complication: the World Time Minute Repeater New York 2017 Special Edition.
The Patek Philippe replica has strongly stressed its ability as a maker of chiming complications over the last few years. Of course one of the biggest pieces of news in this respect was the introduction in 2014 of the Grandmaster Chime, which is a kind of mechanical resumé of all the important chiming complication, besides, a number of technical features that were created typically for the watch. While many makers of repeaters have gone the route of deploying extensive research and development to find new ways of improving the volume and tone of chiming complications, the fake Patek has selected to position itself as a guardian and repository of the old school approach, with construction methods that by and large would be familiar to its watchmakers immediately from a generation or more in the past.
However, it’s also true that where and when the fake Patek Philippe chooses to innovate technically they can do so in very funny ways – the Grandmaster Chime was replete with interesting technical details, of course, this is just a suppose. They’ve done so in a remarkable way with the new model world time minute repeater. This is a rare combination of complications to start with, and generally in watches which have combined the two, there hasn’t been any functional mechanical connection between the repeater and the universal/world time complication; the repeater always chimes home time (as defined by the crown).
According to Patek, it includes making fundamental changes in the minute repeater mechanism. In a minute repeater, the hours, quarter hours, and minutes are “read” off snail cams by mechanical feelers. The hour snail isn’t driven directly by the motion works that drive the hands, as the minute and quarter snails are; On the contrary, it’s on a star wheel with 12 teeth that’s advanced one step per hour by the minute snail (one step on the star wheel for every full revolution of the minute snail).
There are many other features and unique attracting points of this sort of replica watches. Additional safety features are built into the watch as well – for example when the strike is activated, the world time mechanism is blocked preventing the damage that might occur should the owner attempt to adjust the world time mechanism during chiming.

Talking about the dials of the Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller Triple Six
With a few typical Replica Rolex models, there are some types for the dials of the Sea-Dweller. The first group of the Triple Six models featured a matte black dial without environs on the round tritium hour markers. In addition, there are two main versions among these replica watches – Mark I and Mark II.
The first Mark: Shorter Rolex coronet under 12 o’clock. The “f” in “ft” is above the letter “E” in “SUPERLATIVE.”
The Second Mark: Longer Rolex coronet under 12 o’clock where sometimes the crown actually touches the inverted triangle above it. The “f” in “ft” is above the letter “V” in “SUPERLATIVE.”
Do you know which dial has this Sea-Dweller?
Among the matte dials, Replica Rolex equipped the Sea-Dweller with glossy black dials with white gold on the circular tritium hour markers. The first group of these glossy dials (Mark III) in fact had two attractive details. One the one hand, it was that the hyphen between “SEA” and “DWELLER” was no longer included. On the other hand, that these new glossy dials had a fault, which caused them to crack or “spyder.”
Rolex Replica remedied the state of affairs and contributed a second edition of the glossy dial (Mark IV) with no cracking problem and the return of the hyphen. What’s more, the crown was slightly lengthened and the font somewhat changed. It’s not worth that the once glossy dials are turning matte as they get older. Unsurprisingly, this is now something that has annoyed the interest of vintage Rolex collectors global.
On the Fake Sea-Dweller Triple Six, there were COMEX dials as well, but we will wrap these deeply in another article dedicated to COMEX Rolex Sea-Dweller cheap replica watches. So stay tuned for that one.
The in-between Fake Sea-Dweller Triple Six was in creation for several years where it was ultimately taken placed by the model in 1988. The Sea-Dweller will, in nature, be the subject of our next chapter on the Sea-Dweller history, therefore confirm not to miss that one.
All in all, what do you think of the Rolex Sea-Dweller Triple Six? Are you one of the lovers of the best watch generally?
“Laureus Sport for Good Foundation” IWC Replica Watch
You may have the news that the eleventh in the Laures series is the replica IWC Da Vinci Chronograph Edition “Laureus Sport for Good Foundation”. This fake IWC opens a unique edition timepiece and uses part of the proceeds from sales to assistant disadvantaged children and young people through the Foundation.
The elegant model is housed in a round stainless steel case measuring 42mm in diameter and 14.50mm in thickness. The case is featured by the newly developed moving horns with curved lugs which ensure that the black alligator leather strap by Santoni fits exactly on its future owner’s wrists.
There lies a beautiful blue dial underneath the front sapphire glass, whose lay-out looks like the one on the Portugieser Chronograph with the hours and minutes displayed on the central dial and the small seconds shown on the counter set at the 6 o’clock position. There is a black-on-white date window as well.
Furthermore, there is a red-tipped central seconds chronograph hand which can be reset and restarted instantaneously by pressing the push piece at the 4 o’clock position, all these should be owing to the flyback function. The hour and minute counters have been combined in the sub-dial situated at the 12 o’clock position, so that the stopped times can be read off as if on an analogue watch.
This fake IWC Da Vinci Chronograph Laureus Edition is powered by the in-house caliber mechanical chronograph movement which works at the frequency of 28,800 beats per hour (4 Hz). The self-winding mechanism has a 68-hour power reserve and draws its energy from the automatic replica IWC double-pawl winding system, thus transmitting energy to the pawl wheel.
The jury chose the drawing made by a 12-year-old Chinese boy Hou Ye from Shanghai. His winning picture shows himself on skis setting his personal best time. The most interesting detail on this special edition timepiece is the case back of the cheap replica watch which is engraved with a reproduction of the drawing that won a match for children and adolescents in the context of the foundation’s projects with the subject “Time Well Spent”.
Amazing Replica Bell & Ross Vintage Collection
Most generally known for their square watches, the replica Bell & Ross has been making their classic round “vintage” collection of replica watches like BR Sport Watch for years now. It’s been a short time since we took a look at this collection and fortunately for us, 2017 sees the launch of three new Bell & Ross vintage watches: the BR V1-92 Black Steel three hand and date watch; the slightly larger and more aggressive BR V2-92 Black Steel; and the chronograph BR V2-94. Let’s see what the three new Bell & Ross Vintage pilot’s watches have to provide, though I have to say I think all three knock it out of the park.
The replica BR V1-92 is the smallest and cheapest of the bunch, but it’s possibly to get the most attention. It’s got classic vintage pilot’s watch style and as you can see in the image above, the BR V1-92 (furthest watch to the right) has a simple steel bezel surrounding the “ultra-curved” anti-reflective sapphire. The dial keeps it simple and sticks to the basics. It’s highly legible and the use of only black and white on the dial along with the minimal text leads to a refreshingly restrained and unfussy dial.
The large, long hands on the matte black dial are done in skeletonized metal filled with Super-LumiNova. The small circular date window between 4 and 5 o’clock is one of the most popular and least distracting I’ve seen in some time and it is bound to be least offensive to even the most ardent hater of the admittedly useful complication.
One notch above the fake BR V1-92 is the fake V2-92, which is a bigger, sportier, and more aggressive looking three-hander in the new vintage collection. Still running on the BR-Cal. 302 movement, this watch comes in a larger 41mm wide case with a screw-down crown. The most significant difference, though, is the rotating bezel that is present in this model. A rotating steel bezel with an anodized black aluminum ring and 60-minute scale, this bezel adds a diver’s touch to the watch. This likely will agitate pilot watch purists, but thankfully, Bell & Ross has already given them a piece to rally around in the aforementioned V1-92 replica model.
Apart from the demure steel bezel and design, watch enthusiasts who are going to lean towards smaller pieces will be happy with the 38.5mm wide case, slim profile, and simple black calfskin strap. I am not the biggest fan of watches smaller than 40mm (even less so when they’re on a strap).
In the end, the BR V2-92 replica is the chronograph model, which to me, I am very fond of. It’s 41mm wide with the curved lugs and “ultra-curved” sapphire crystal seen throughout this collection. There are two sub-dials, with a seconds counter at 3 o’clock and 30 minute totalizer at 9 o’clock.
As a whole, it’s a very attractive and thoughtfully made chronograph in a world of countless options. I think it says a lot about the personality and taste of the person who chooses to wear this piece. Not only it is an outlier in terms of what the brand is known for, it’s a not-cheap chronograph in a world full of iconic and varied chronographs like Omega Speedmasters, Zenith El Primeros, and Breitling Navitimers. Of course, the cheapest Bell & Ross replica is priced less than most of these – we live in a world of plenty when it comes to the second-hand market with these models. I guess the self-confidence of this watch is something that comes off in spades and would likely describe the wearer too.
The Wonderful Replica Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Watch
Rolex invented a special version of its model which for the first time extrudes a precious 950 platinum case to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona, in spite of the using of new material and an attractive new combination of colors, the newest replica Daytona retained the authentic design principle and all main points that lead this watch to become one of the most well-known racing stopwatches. This original model was presented at the Baselworld 2017 watch show can be recognized easily by the brand’s signature Cerachrom ceramic bezel with a tachometric scale.
The nice-looking color of the whole Cerachrom ceramic bezel is chestnut brown that it often jointed together the ice blue color of the dial on the replica watch. In order to make a clear comparison and to reach high readability, the Swiss clockmaker stamped three varnish sub-dials with the chestnut brown. The 30-minute timepiece is at the 3 o’clock location, the small seconds sub-dial takes the 6 o’clock, but the 12-hour counter can be seen at the 9 o’clock position. What’s more, there is a central chronograph pointer which shows time with the 1/8 of a second accuracy. Together with the tachymeter scale for counting speed up to 400 miles or kilometers per hour, these chrono counters offer a full set of function for driving warm-heart people. Lastly, Chromalight applied markers and hands guarantee wonderful legibility.
Replica Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Platinum Chronograph Watch Front The brand’s signature Oyster case comes in excellently burnished platinum, with the diameter of 40 mm. The special, extremely tough construction consists of the Monobloc middle case, a screw-down case-back, two push-pieces and a screw-down crown with a Trip lock water-proof system. An Oyster bracelet is made from the same material and displays an exquisite contrast between its polished and brushed links. Equipped with Oysterlock folding clasp and an Easylink comfort extension link, it affords outstanding comfort and security, in addition to modish and unusual look.
The above shows that an in-house Calibre 4130 self-winding mechanical chronograph movement supports the new Cosmograph Daytona replica watch. This COSC proofed chronograph influence a Parachrom hairspring which makes sure higher resistance to shocks and to the variation in temperature. Moreover, it brings a huge effect on the grand accuracy. The movement of the watch shocks at the frequency of 28,800 beats per hour (4 Hertz) and supplies a brilliant power keep of 72-hours (66 hours if the stopwatch is working).
