Testing the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue

May 16, 2021 enwatchtime

Tudor has expanded its popular Black Bay Fifty-Eight collection of dive watches. The latest addition is a blue version with a manufacturing movement and a modestly sized 39mm case that already won the “Challenge” fake watch award at last November’s Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. How did Tudor’s new creation perform in our tests?
The Tudor brand has been trendy in recent years and can look back on a steadily growing fan base. Rolex’s second brand had been stagnant for years, but since 2009, Tudor has been picking up speed again. Tudor’s history, rich in character and design, is emphasized in the brand’s new vintage models. 2012 saw the introduction of the Heritage Black Bay, which looks back at Tudor’s early dive watches. Its debut was followed in 2018 by the debut of the smaller Black Bay Fifty-Eight. The blue version we are testing here was unveiled in 2020.
The name “Fifty-Eight” refers to 1958, the year in which TUDOR launched its first dive watch, the Reference 7924, known as the “Big Crown”. The new watch has a diameter of 39 mm, which corresponds to the case size of the historical model. In other respects as well, this new version, at first glance, actually looks like a vintage replica watch, an antique watch. Thanks to the rotating bezel and the smaller dial, it even looks somewhat refined.
The vintage impression is further accentuated by the domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which has highly curved edges, just like the acrylic crystals of models from previous decades. The dial is also slightly raised like the face of a classic vintage watch. The narrow lugs and the lettering on the rota-table bezel also allude to TUDOR’s history. The designer even chose to omit the date display, thus completing the historical impression.
Old Tudor divers’ replica watches with the so-called “snowflake” hands have already made a name for themselves and are eagerly sought after at auctions. The nickname derives from the squares at the tips of the hour and second hands: each is rotated 45 degrees, somewhat like a stylized snowflake. This detail first appeared on the tips of the hands in the late 1960s and has been retained ever since.
Further high-quality features of the manufacturing movement are its extremely long power reserve of 70 hours and its free-wheeling balance wheel with four adjustment screws. These screws mean that there is no need to fine-tune the speed by varying the active length of the hairspring, as is the case with ETA movements.

New Rolex Submariner Date Watch

March 4, 2021November 21, 2023 enwatchtime

In most other respects, reference 1680 is virtually identical to reference 5512/5513. Reference 1680 is almost identical to reference 5512/5513. However, it brings a date feature to the series for the first time. For many critics, this relatively minor feature marked the end of the Submariner line as a dedicated swiss replica watch and heralded its entrance into the realm of status symbols. Critics argued that true divers did not need a watch that told them the date of the month.
Despite the objections, the Rolex Submariner has always been elegantly styled and more than just a diving tool. Its refined simplicity matches everything from T-shirts and jeans to tailored tuxedos – just ask the greatest advertisement for any timepiece, James Bond. Starting with Connery in Dr. No in 1962, Agent 007 wore the Submariner in nine appearances, and the watch matched everything from diving suits to dinner suits.
In fact, far more non-divers have always bought Submariner than divers, and this is true of most of the brand’s models. Nowadays, for example, you also don’t see as many replica Rolex Daytona watches in the paddock of the average race track, nor do you see Explorer watches on the summit of Mount Everest.
As for Rolex, the brand decided to wholeheartedly embrace the status symbol label with the arrival of the ref. 1680. In addition to being the first Submariner with a date complication, it was also the first watch to be made in 18-carat yellow gold. It was also the first watch to feature a blue dial and bezel option, representing its first appearance in a model other than all black.
Rolex has poured its heart and soul into the Ref. 1680 since its arrival. 1680, fake Rolex has poured far more variety into the Submariner Date than the No-Date models, gifting them with a range of new metal combinations and different colorways. As always, the No-Date Submariner remains a unique stainless steel creation that remains popular with purists.

Popular Racing Watches Vintage Omega Speedmaster

December 1, 2020 enwatchtime

One of the reasons watches are so inextricably linked to the motorsport industry is the need for high-precision timing on the track. Manufacturers such as Rolex and Omega continue to maintain their long-term commitment to provide the racing world with reliable precision watches that record laps and other important track data.
Watch connoisseurs who collect racing watches are still in the market for a timepiece that delivers the same performance whether worn for driving purposes or not. After motoring fans and actor, Paul Newman sported the replica Rolex Cosmograph Daytona upon his wrist, because it gained an almost cult-like status, spawning a dedicated fan base of motor-sport enthusiasts, businessmen, and style-conscious individuals alike.
The history of the racing watch also consists of the pivotal role Omega played with the launch of their well-knownSpeedmaster. Before the Omega Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the surface of the moon, forever cementing its role in space and aviation industries, it was a racing chronograph developed for professional race car drivers to use at the track.
Adding leverage to the company’s position as the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games, the first Speedmaster was created in 1957 as a racing and sports chronograph with a visually impressive and easy to read dial. The original fake Omega Speedmaster, the CK2915 was created by Claude Baillod and featured a tri-complex chronograph layout with high-contrast index markers. Moreover, it made the pioneering determination to have its tachymeter scale moved to its bezel instead of printed on its dial for increased legibility.
Although the choices range from conservative to extremely bold, and a large number of racing watch straps are now available, all luxury racing watches are bundled by the same core values for their indivisible precision driving and technical excellence.

2021 Popular Rolex Batman GMT-Master II

October 18, 2020 enwatchtime

While the Rolex GMT-Master has been around since 1954, the ‘Batman’ is the latest addition to the collection, featuring a now iconic black and blue ceramic bezel. Like “the dark knight,” it was these bold colors that earned it a cute nickname after its 2013 release. While batman Rolex may have a short history, it is actually diverse and interesting. The Rolex batman GMT-master II is an instant classic, and with recent upgrades, it has gained more appreciation from the entire luxury watch community. Let’s take a better look at the important milestone of the “batman” laureus GMT-master II.
When the Rolex Batman was launched at Baselworld 2013, everyone took notice. Not only was the blue and black bezel a really contemporary and cool iteration of the dual-toned bezel that we’ve come to realize and love from the GMT-Master collection, but it was also the first of its kind. Rolex had already been using ceramic in their bezels for about ten years, but it wasn’t until the Batman GMT that they were able to use this tricky material to create a two-tone bezel.
The result was a rich and saturated, bi-color bezel that would be much stronger and hold color exponentially better than its previous aluminum counterparts. Not only was the original Batman – the ref. 116710BLNR – the first bi-color ceramic bezel, but it was also the only one available on a stainless steel GMT watch for a few years. That’s because at the same time, Rolex moved their red and blue Pepsi GMT from all stainless steel to 18K platinum.
2019, six years after batman’s first replica Rolex upgrade. While there are some internal and external upgrades, the most talked about upgrade was the now standard, five-link 904L stainless steel Jubilee bracelet.
While some people adore this gorgeous update to the fan-favorite Batman GMT-Master II, others still favored the Oyster bracelet, saying that it went against the inherent sportiness of the GMT-Master collection. Either way, the all-new Jubilee bracelet assisted differentiate this new generation of fake Rolex GMT watches from the brand’s various other Professional watch collections.
Beyond the new Jubilee bracelet, the case of the new ref. 126710BLNR GMT-Master II has also been redesigned for a pretty more refined feel on the wrist. Another one of the most significant upgrades was the new Cal. 3285 movement featuring the brand’s proprietary Chronergy escapement. The ref. 126710BLNR also features brand new Chromalight lume on its Maxi dial, which gives the watch a striking blue glow for up to eight hours. As if the dial wasn’t prominent enough, Rolex has an oversized dial for the watch, adding a luminous block and Mercedes-Benz-style hands for a bolder, sportier look on the wrist.

Luxury watches unaffected by the COVID-19

August 1, 2020April 22, 2023 enwatchtime

Owners of permanent calendars finally got a chance to see their watches in action today, as their date is shown ahead of February 29.So much has happened in the past month as the COVID-19 epidemic has swept the world and made people nervous. We have seen major events and exhibitions cancelled or postponed around the world. This month, we came close to a number of interesting replica watches, including pure gold G-Shock, Undone’s new lineup of Undone Sport Watches, and Undone batman watches.
From around the web, we turn our attention to an unfinished George Daniels watch. This epic watch, if completed, would have featured a 60-second tourbillon, remontoir d’egalite, and a co-axial escapement. We also investigate the history of the helium escape valve. Although it is closely associated with Rolex, some believe it was actually developed in conjunction with Doxa. Finally, let’s talk about the Bardacke’s Nautilus. Is this watch hype, or is it as great as it was made?
Some watches are slow burners. These are watches that are neglected when they are launched and are only appreciated later — often when it’s too late. An example is the Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16570. It really lives up to its name, coming in a 40mm Oyster case and featuring a GMT complication with a fixed 24-hour bezel. Amazingly, the watch was in production for over two decades, starting in 1989 and ending sometime in 2011. However, it wasn’t until the last three years or so, when people finally began to appreciate its low-key elegance and beauty, these watches started to catch on.
G-Shocks should be tough and cheap. Some might think of them as vaguely disposable watches, which is why the G-Shock G-D5000-9JR is unlike any other G-Shock watch. It’s made totally out of 18k yellow gold and, as a result, costs a cool $70,000. It goes against the key tenets of what makes a G-Shock a G-Shock. But that’s what makes it such a cool fake watch — a watch that will go down in G-Shock history forever. Recently, we had the opportunity to open a box.
Last year, Seiko shook up the entry-level mechanical watch industry with two major announcements: the end of the popular SKX series and the release of a new Seiko 5 sports watch line. This is big news, because Seiko 5 is the beginning of many people’s journey with watches. What’s more, Seiko has no fewer than 28 new models of the dial and bezel colors, the finish of the watch case, and the straps are different.

Review for Rolex Submariner Date

March 19, 2020 enwatchtime

What would Rolex be like without submariners? It is the most popular and recognizable diving watch of all time and has been used as a benchmark for all other replica watches since their introduction in 1954. However, despite its global reputation, the Rolex submariner actually saw some controversy during its sixty-five years of operation. During this time, there were some conflicting introductions.
One of them was introduced in 1969, when ref. 1680 introduced dates into watches. Critics seem to object in two ways: first, many believe that the date displayed on diving watches is of little use; Second, there are complaints that the three-point date window, especially the magnifying glass above, destroys the overall symmetry of the dial. Undeterred, Rolex just split the range in two and has since produced a dated and undated version.
Another controversial move took place on the latest version of the Rolex submarine. Launched in 2010, the ref. 116610 was released with the Rolex supercase, featuring double the thickness of the lugs and crown guards. For those who think the 40mm is too small for a modern sports watch, this is a compromise that keeps the same size on paper but adds a significant presence to the extra volume on the wrist. But the beautiful, sweeping lines that preceded them, barely changed in the last 50 years, have disappeared, and the move has lost many fans.
Prior to the current model, the reference 16610 debuted in 1989 and has become a highly sought-after secondary market. It has many advantages for collectors. It has most of the modern elements you need, and you might want to wear it every day, but with just the right amount of nostalgia.
The metal used to build the fake rolex submarine 16610 is incredibly resilient 904L stainless steel, which is almost entirely Rolex territory. It contains a higher proportion of chromium, molybdenum, nickel and copper than the conventional 316L steel used by almost all of its competitors, making it a harder and more corrosion resistant metal. It also has a unique luster when polished, visually turning it from a crowded industry.
Internally, the Rolex submarine ref. 16610 is fitted with the legendary caliber 3135 and is generally considered one of the best mass production mechanical movements ever. In fact, the cal. 3135 is so good that more than 30 years later, it is still the engine for the latest generation of date-displaying submarines.

Why it is so hard to Get Replica Rolex Stainless Steel Watches?

November 18, 2019 enwatchtime

Now, we’ve all heard that Rolex stainless steel sports watches are impossible to get new, and the secondary market is proliferating with the most ideal Rolex models charging thousands of dollars more than the official retail price.
At present, we’ve all heard that the fake Rolex stainless steel sports watches are all but difficult to obtain brand new, while the secondary market has exploded to the point where the most desirable Rolex models fetch thousands of dollars above their official retail price – in the case of the extremely highly-coveted Daytona 116500LN, it’s in fact double retail.
Barron’s has tested the phenomenon in a new article, looking at Bob’s Watches as the most significant player in the pre-owned Rolex space and one of the few with a consistent supply of even the most “unobtainable” pieces like the new replica “Pepsi” GMT-Master II 126710 on a Jubilee bracelet. Hoping for clarity on the heat of these and other steel Rolex models, as well as the likes of the Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Barron’s went to Aurel Bacs, the world’s top vintage Rolex auctioneer, affiliated with Phillips.
Bacs, who famously sold Paul Newman’s Personal “Paul Newman” Rolex Daytona for over $17 million, says that the basic reason for the steel luxury sports watch craze is that these are truly timeless designs that happen to also be hard to obtain. On one hand, he compares them to the Porsche 911, the Eames lounge chair, and the Hermès Kelly bag – designs that are “so good that they outlast generations and fashion trends.”
“Don’t consider what’s fashionable,” Bacs decrees. “Fashion, by definition, is at one point in fashion and then out of fashion. Go for the classics.” Today’s young, wealthy buyers have exceptionally good taste and an appreciation for these classic designs. As a result, “with Royal Oak, Nautilus, and GMT, we just went through the clouds,” he says, believing that prices still have further to travel.
“These three replica watches tick every box,” Bacs declares, “timeless versus fashionable; they represent craftsmanship; and there is more demand than supply.” Rolex and Patek famously refuse to increase production for certain models, no matter how much fortune they could make by offering more watches for sale. This enforced exclusivity works the same way that it does for brands like Yeezy and Supreme, Bacs says. “What do Yeezy, Supreme, Royal Oak, Nautilus, and GMT have in common other than being amazing, dynamic, and modern?” he asks. “They are really difficult to get, and people are ready to pay a premium for them on the secondary market, as much as in art with KAWS, Basquiat, and Koons.”
“The rich are getting younger,” Backus points out. “Young people tend to want to make their mark, unlike their parents and grandparents. For decades, stainless steel sports watches have been valued less than gold watches and more like tool watches or entry-level watches.

Charming Replica A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Daymatic ’25th Anniversary’

August 29, 2019 enwatchtime

2019 is the 25th year since a. Lange & Sohne released its first reissued watch version in 1994.As we’ve seen, Lange more or less launches a new limited edition each month in homage to arguably its most famous model, Lange 1. Today, we see the next version of this limited edition cheap replica watch, a 25-piece tribute to Lange damarch.
First launched in 2010, the Lange 1 Daymatic is characterized by a mirror-image reversal of the traditional asymmetric Lange 1 dial layout and as its name states, the use of an automatic movement in conjunction with a retrograde date display. The decision to replace the standard Lange 1 power reserve indicator with a weekly display was based on the belief that the use of automatic windings seems to reduce the need for power reserve indicators.
Like the previous seven limited editions honoring the Lange 1 that have already come out in 2019, this eighth piece, a Daymatic, characterizes a blue and silver color scheme in which blued hands and blue printed markers are set against a silver dial. The 39.5mm Lange 1 Daymatic case is white gold.
When I think of the replica Lange’s most famous collection, I tend not to consider Lange no. 1. Its use of automatic movement makes it somewhat unusual in Lange 1s. Although a perfect manual winding movement is one of the main attractions of the standard Lange 1, over the years, I have met some replica watches enthusiasts who have a strong preference for the convenience of automatic winding, and the Lange 1 Daymatic seems to be reflected in this demonstration. Anyway, there are only 25 of these Daymatics, and I hope they all go very fast.

Underestimated Replica Watches: Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph

June 17, 2019April 22, 2023 enwatchtime

There only have a few sport chronographs in the top tier of luxury watches that are capable of being used as a both dressy and casual counterpart. The Nautilus and Aquanaut chronographs top that list, flanked by the Royal Oak of course, and in light of the growing demand and prices of the steel Rolex Daytona, it also acquires a spot in the category. Nevertheless, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph has always been less desirable, which is a real pity. Its design and execution from dial to buckle are extraordinary, its aesthetics unique and thoughtful; yet somehow it never developed the same reputation as the others.
For those who prefer to a well-made but rare in the wild, you’re lucky now, the second hand models of the Overseas – especially the previous reference 49150 that released in 2004 – seem to be selling at 10-13k USD. By comparison, the non-Offshore Royal Oak Chronographs will cost you 18k USD, and not to mention that Nautilus Chronographs can’t be had under $75k these days. That’s another story.
The Case
So what special about fake rolex watches? Before we get to its interior mechanism, there’s quite a lot to tal about its overall appearance. The specially notched bezel design takes from its predecessor, the 222 was released back in 1977 to celebrate the brand’s 222nd anniversary. The polishing of its bezel is nicely complemented by the knurling and polishing on its screw-down crown and screw down pushers, which are all in contrast to the brushed finish of the forward facing surfaces of its case and bracelet.
Speaking of its bracelet, the Overseas bracelet is one of my favorites to this day. Its links are designed like half of the Maltese cross (which is Vacheron’s brand logo), and use unique bevels to create special angles on what would otherwise be a reversed deviation of the Rolex Oyster bracelet. In the latest version, a micro adjustment is fitted into its clasp, though this isn’t the case with the ref. 49150. It’s commonly agreed that the integrated bracelet on the Overseas Chronograph is one of the more comfortable out there.
The Dial
The dial of the ref. 49150 is another factor that makes the replica watch even more desirable. Unlike the Royal Oak’s “Tapisserie” pattern, the geometric guillochage on the dial of the Overseas Chronograph is more delicate and traditional in nature. Take a close look at the three dimensional texture, the pattern-work isn’t far off of the more traditional, “clou de paris” guilloche pattern, though more exquisite in execution.
Its sub-dials are recessed below this textured surface layer, but not the same size. At first this detail threw me. In light of the symmetry created by the use of a big date at 12 o’clock, I have no idea why Vacheron’s designers would do this (I still don’t have an answer to that), but over time I start to appreciate this unique design.

Amazing Replica BELL & ROSS BR V2-93 GMT Watch at Good Price

August 3, 2018 enwatchtime

Bell & Ross has something particular with travel and time, and it has become a reference in aeronautical cheap replica watches. By releasing their new Bell & Ross BR V2-93 GMT 24 H timepiece, they prove it once again. You can easily catch its subtitle mix of a sporty at a glance, chic look – vintage in style yet, greatly contemporary.
Following the brand’s motto of “Form follows function,” its framework is dictated by its use, making it the best travel companion to pass through the clouds. It all makes sense when you know that the fake Bell & Ross’ adventure started in a cockpit, with watch designs that were completely encouraged by aviation. While the on-board instruments set the standard for legibility, precision, and reliability, the entire history of aeronautics serves as a powerful inspiration for the brand.
There is no doubt that a replica BELL & ROSS GMT watch is the most useful and necessary tool for travelers and aviation professionals. Back in 2014 for the benefit of all, Bell & Ross presented a Vintage model sporting a dual timezone display. Today, the brand is going even further by releasing the Vintage BR V2-93 GMT 24 H. It is the first time Bell & Ross introduces the GMT function into its third Vintage generation. Adding an innovative feature, its black dial now provides the time in three different locations around the world.
Three white hands represent one time-zone. An orange hand – which rotates around the dial – indicates a second time-zone. The 24 H bidirectional bezel allows 3rd time-zone reading and distinguishes the daytime in grey and in black for night. To show a different time-zone, you will rotate the bezel – clockwise or anti-clockwise – according to the orange hand.
Resolutely modern and refined, the new BR V2-93 GMT 24 H can be worn either with a tropic rubber version at a very cheap price. This 3rd time zone is the best function to add into the Vintage Collection.
