We will talk about the two slightly off the beaten path replica watches from Tudor and Rolex—the Heritage advisor and the Datejust Turn-o-Graph. Let’s move on for more details.
Both the Tudor Heritage Advisor model and the Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph fake watch are contemporary iterations of vintage timepieces from the 1950s. The original Tudor Advisor was the brand’s first watch equipped with an alarm function. Manufactured from 1957 to 1977, Tudor made three different models during that time. The Tudor revised their alarm watch as the Heritage Advisor several years ago and has been making them ever since.
The Turn-O-Graph made its debut in 1953 as the first serially produced fake Rolex with a rotating bezel—preceding the Submariner and the GMT-Master. Over the years, the Turn-O-Graph evolved from a tool watch aesthetic to a sporty dress watch one, even joining the Datejust collection. The Datejust Turn-O-Graph picked up the nickname “Thunderbird” as it was the replica watch officially issued to the U.S. Air Force’s Thunderbird aerobatic squadron. Rolex manufactured the Datejust Turn-O-Graph until the late 1970s. While Rolex continued producing some Datejust models with the signature bezel after that, the Turn-O-Graph name no longer appeared on the dial. In the early 2000s, Rolex re-issued the “Thunderbird” with the Datejust Turn-O-Graph. Unfortunately, the watch was finally discontinued again in 2011.
The Tudor Heritage Advisor and the Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph are both white metal watches, both of which actually combine two types of metals. The replica Tudor Advisor uses stainless steel and titanium, while the steel Turn-O-Graph consists of a white gold bezel.
The Heritage Advisor alarm sports a bigger 42mm case and sits quite high on the wrist. On the contrary, in true Datejust fashion, the Thunderbird comes with a more restrained 36mm Oyster case. Both timepieces include a sporty steel Oyster bracelet and a variety of dial color options. Regardless of the dial color, however, all modern Heritage Advisors and Datejust Turn-O-Graphs have red details on the dial.
In addition to the time and date features of the replica Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph Thunderbird model, the watch can also time events owing to its rotating bezel. As with all Rolex Datejust models, the date window sits at 3 o’clock with the popular Cyclops magnification lens above it. Both the Rolex Thunderbird and the Tudor Heritage Advisor are fantastic choices for someone looking for watches that are a little different from the rest. Celebrating significant watches from their achievements, these timepieces offer a touch of vintage flair repackaged to satisfy modern tastes.
