It seems endless for people to collect things, and takes in objects ranging from the worthless to the priceless. It is a human feature to want to accumulate certain items, but as far as why people collect watches, there are various reasons. We are currently in a golden age of fake watch collecting, with prices only going up for vintage pieces as more and more people are discovering a love of horology. 
However, what is it about watches in particular that so appeals and makes them so collectible? Since every one of us is never more than arm’s length away from a cell phone, which all have clocks far more accurate than any mechanical caliber can ever hope to be, no one actually needs a cheap replica watch, let alone a great horde of them.
We’ll take a general view of just what it is that motivates us to amass our ever-growing collections.
With the huge variety in style, value, and heritage, the types of watches someone chooses to collect and wear are the most obvious outward indicators of their personality. Nothing says more about a person’s features than what they put on their wrist.
It is one of the reasons that a large number of collectors tend to be men. For women, a watch is mostly just one more piece of jewelry; part of an ensemble that together speaks volumes. The watch is most likely to be his only piece for males, and it has an effect completely disproportionate to its size.
The other characteristic about these replica watches that seems to appeal to more to men than women is the nature of the technology itself. Not very far below the surface of every grown man is the little boy fascinated by gears and springs and the perfect blending of form and function. Mechanical calibers at their finest are miniature works of art, with a sort of micro-engineering prowess that has been constantly honed and refined over centuries. 
We are living in an age of unprecedented technological progress, with new things emerging almost every day. But despite that, or possibly because of it, we are becoming more fascinated by the antiquated methods of traditional watch-making. While we can all appreciate what a smart watch is able to do, all we can be aware of is the end result. With a mechanical movement, we are able to actually notice the hundreds of components working together and marvel at the dedication and level of craftsmanship that has gone into its creation. It is primal, involving, and completely satisfying for the one who likes to collect watches.

As we have mentioned before that smaller women’s replica watches are coming back for selling, and some of the unveilings further cemented our focus. Case and point, one of Tudor’s last additions to the Black Bay line—the Black Bay 32—scales down the minimalist model beyond the unisex size 36 to a conventional women’s watch case size. Already an amazing and desirable model, the new Black Bay 32 is being provided both with a black dial or the new blue dial that released in all three sizes for 2018, starting from a modest cheap price.
There are details to this new launch that we love and others that we question a little, but all told we believe this release is one of their smarter moves of the year.  
To use the Tudor marketing speak, the brand has “combined the technical sophistication of a tool-watch in a smaller, refined model for women.” Grammatical flaws aside, the statement is an accurate one.
We’re quickly approaching an era where the consumer is less willing to tolerate an increased premium for in-house manufacture calibers—especially with Panerai’s edgy move at SIHH converting the entire Due line to in-house without altering price structure—so if the fake Tudor ever plans to make the switch they’d best make a move sooner rather than later. Don’t get me wrong, the ETA 2824 is not a bad caliber. It’s this kind of thing that makes a brand appear to lack direction, much in the same way we’re seeing with the new replica Breitling models, where you can get a Navitimer 8 either with an in-house caliber or a supplied one—both of which will be sold side-by-side in the display case.
In 32mm guise, the case profile runs slightly closer to the bracelet width than seen on the 36 or 41mm examples, and the closer concentration of indices and hands against its semi-gloss lacquer dial seems more balanced than its larger siblings too. Being so used to the traditional Black Bay models fitted with a dive bezel, the Black Bay 41 always felt like it was missing some details for it to feel complete, and looking at the new 32 it’s almost as if the replica Tudor should have increased the size of its indices and hands slightly to compensate for the design change in the 41mm model while it first released.
Here’s why the Black Bay 32 makes sense at the end of the day. Not only is there a fast-growing demand for women’s watches in general, but if you ask any woman out there who wears serious fake watches on the regular, and you’ll hear the same thing: “Why do the watch brands assume that all ladies want a small watch covered in diamonds?!” While I have to say that there are some sales stats to back up the diamond-set trend that still runs rampant in watch-making, it’s great to see another option to hit the market.

The Rolex Submariner replica watch is a legend in the vintage Rolex collecting world. However, Rolex made this very special model for only a short period of time. Its limited production run coupled with some very distinct design details makes the fake Rolex Submariner model one of the most sought after vintage Rolex models out there. Brush up on your Rolex history with six quick facts about the Submariner watch.
While there is still some debate, it’s broadly accepted that the very first Submariner was this particular model, which Rolex released to the public in 1953. One year later, Rolex added the Submariner ref. 6200 to the famous family of diving watches. 
The large 8mm Brevet winding crown is one of the most distinguishing features of the Sub 6200. Since the 8mm crown is obviously bigger than the 6mm winding crown of the ref. 6204, the 6200 is widely famous as a “Big Crown Submariner”.
The funny thing is, although it is estimated that there are only around 300 examples of the ref. 6200, there are still some dial variations. Some examples have the big logo and “Oyster Perpetual” text under 12 o’clock while some have a smaller logo and text. Some do not have the “SUBMARINER” label above 6 o’clock while others do.
This amazing watch was the first Submariner to include the now ubiquitous Mercedes-style hands. Prior to that, it also had pencil style hands. However, it’s significant to note that the Mercedes-style hands of the Submariner 6200 are actually longer than those on other subsequent references.
Even though the Submariner 6200 does not include the depth rating on the dial, it was actually water-resistant to 200 meters. This is double that of the 100-meter depth rating of its sibling references, the “Small Crown” Sub 6204 and Sub 6205 watches.
Often referred to as the “Holy Grail” of vintage Submariners, the Submariner replica watches are absolutely on the wish list of many collectors. A very early example of Rolex’s now-famous diving watch, the Sub 6200 combines many desirable traits all in one must-have timepiece.

To most men, gifting something for women in your life can be complicated. There’s a fine line between choosing something too trendy and something too safe — both of which can backfire and make you have to dig around for that pesky gift receipt. The good news here, if you’ve narrowed down your choice to a luxury timepiece, you can’t go all that wrong. 
Therefore, we have rounded up some of the most special yet classically-gorgeous Rolex watches that are sure to put a smile on her face this holiday season. These aren’t just the watches she expects, and these are the most luxury replica watches she’ll cherish for their whole life.
Obviously, gold and diamonds are always the most popular elements for girls’ gifts. So, a diamond bezel PearlMaster 80318 is sure to land on her wish-list. This is a classic jewelry watch, sitting on the wrist with light feminine lines, bright yellow gold, and perfectly placed diamond accents above each of the Roman numeral hour markers.
This Pearl Master watch has a timeless look and it’s bound to stand the test of time, too. The watch is encased in a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and waterproof Twinlock crown — so it can put up with daily wear and tear. Really, we can’t blame her for never wanting to take it off. Finally, we have to point out the five-link Pearlmaster bracelet with a Crownclasp that ties this entire look together. The classic beauty in your life is going to be pleasantly surprised you picked out this timepiece.
This 18k eve rose Presidential Ladies 179175 with a diamond dial is for the woman who needs a statement piece. The 26mm Date-Just case is made out of a spectacular precious-pink alloy and features a pearly face with sparkling diamond hour markers. And while the rose gold watch is feminine and flirty, it’s also durable with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, screw-down case back, and Twinlock screw-down crown for double waterproofness.
In this case, the fake watch extends into this iconic Presidential bracelet with supple semi-circular links in a brushed and high-polish finish and a concealed Crownclasp. While everything about this watch emanates a feminine flare, it’s this gorgeous and stately bracelet that’s the best combination of the unique Oyster bracelet and the fancy Jubilee — making it the best watch for just about any occasion.
Absolutely, this replica watch was meant to do more than sit and look pretty on your lady’s wrist. Made for the open sea, each Yacht-Master is equipped with a 60-minute timing bezel that allows her to sync with race start times, measure distances while sailing, and of course, keep out water with a double Twinlock seal. If you’re looking for the ‘wow’ factor this holiday, you can’t go wrong with a Yacht-Master.

One of the most perpetual interesting topics for discussion on fake watch forums, at trade shows, at watch shows, at watch meet-ups, and especially at any horological conclave you’d care to mention (real or virtual) is what depth ratings on watches really mean. You’ll hear all kinds of things – some say 100 meters is not enough for anything but showering, some say you should never shower with anything, even a dive replica watch, lest heat and soap do their devil’s work upon your gaskets, and pretty much everything in between. 
As it turns out, however, there are rather specific stipulations as to what the terms “Water Resistant” and “Diver’s Watch” actually means, and it may come as a little bit of a shock to learn that they’re not the same thing. Besides, that they’re controlled by two different standards – both of which are brought to you courtesy of the good folks at the International Organization for Standardization, which has been reading the riot act to its audience of member nations since 1947. The overwhelming majority of the world’s nations are ISO compliant and in a fractious, fragmented, fiercely fraught world, its edicts are the closest thing we seem to have, to having something everyone can agree with. Naturally, they’re headquartered in Geneva.
Now, if you know that the depth ratings of the replica watches are regulated at all, then you probably already know that dive watch depth ratings, as well as testing methods, and a host of other dive-watch relevant characteristics, are regulated by ISO 6425. We talked a bit about what this particular ISO means in a roundabout way in a recent story. Water resistance up to 100 meters is actually more than adequate for recreational diving. The watches are tested well past their actual depth ratings in the dive watch arena.
The actual text of ISO 6425 is only available via purchasing a single-user license from the good folks at the International Organization, and while the general outline of its requirements is covered perfectly in the Wikipedia article on dive watches, the ISO itself makes some interesting points.

Diving has been an essential sport and science since the early 20th century. There was the dive watch before the age of diving computers and advanced technical equipment. Dive replica watches serve the primary purpose of recording the time a diver spends underwater, but they’ve also found a place on the wrists of desk divers and sports fans alike.
Some important characteristics separate a dive replica watch from other sports watches. They must have at least 100 meters of water resistance—this is one of the primary requirements dictated by the International Organization for Standardization that regulates the guidelines for dive watches. Exclusively, these watches have luminous hands, markers, and sometimes even bezels for maximum visibility. Most models consist of a helium release valve to protect against damage from potential helium saturation. Some of the dive watches also have a unidirectional rotating bezel with distinct markings to highlight or differentiate the first fifteen minutes, which allows elapsed time to be tracked easily and precisely. 
The dive fake watch is now one of the most popular watch styles in the world because of its versatile, sporty appeal. Today, you can find them serving dive masters everywhere and even hiding quietly under the shirt cuffs of some of the world’s most outstanding national leaders.

The Seamaster is the replica of Omega‘s signature dive watch line, featuring a clean and classic design with global appeal. The brand created the watch with versatility in mind, for both those who appreciate the functionality of a dive watch and those who need a dress watch for everyday wear.
2. IWC Aquatimer Automatic Expedition Jacques-Yves Cousteau Blue
The fake IWC Aquatimer Automatic Expedition Jacques-Yves Cousteau Blue is a unique edition model that commemorates Cousteau’s wondrous voyages and films that brought awareness to the beauty of the underwater world. 
3. Longines Heritage Diver Automatic Chronograph
The Longines Heritage Diver Automatic Chronograph combines the sturdy construction of a dive watch with the functionality of a chronograph. The result is a bold yet classic timepiece, perfect for your next dive or everyday wear.
4. Rolex Sea-Dweller
In the 1960’s fake Rolex developed a relationship with a company that specialized in deep diving operations and needed a watch that could withstand the conditions. The brand modified one of their existing Submariners, which set the blueprint for a new model: the Sea-Dweller.

We have to admit that the replica Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is one of the original sports fake watches. The oft-quoted origin story about this iconic rectangle is that it was the dusty polo fields of colonial India that gave birth to the reversible replica watch, which could be easily flipped to protect the delicate dial during the hard and tumble of the chukka. 
That was way back in 1931, and in the subsequent decades, the perceptions of the Reverso have, much like its ingenious case, done an entire about-face. In 2017 the Reverso stands out as one of the default black-tie replica watches. Nowhere is that more apparent than with this Tribute Duoface, which looks completely stunning in pink gold. The case size is perfect- but by no means overwhelming – at 25.5mm wide by 42.9mm high.
The texture doesn’t end there, though: there’s a pleasant juxtaposition on the case itself. The non-polished sections, primarily in the architectural details of the main case body, are left seemingly raw, giving them a frosted finish. Then there’s the sunray engraving on the inside of the outer case, a detail you only see for a few seconds at a time, which makes the fact that JLC included it even more outstanding. The case back is brushed, and fairly text-heavy, though there’s still room there for a personal inscription.
The one thing that shines brighter than the gold on this cheap  watch is the clever and varied use of texture. Everywhere you look there’s another finish. The front dial is described by JLC as a slate grey, but I’d be much more inclined to refer to it as for silver stuff, with a rich eggshell texture. It looks perfect whatever you call it. The second dial is just as stunning, a velvety cloud de Paris guilloche, that displays a second time zone, thanks to the clever manually wound caliber 854A/2. The dial textures are highlighted by the polished applied numerals and simple dauphine hands, and, in the case of the second dial, the matte finish of the inset dials.  
While the aim at the perfect timepiece is far away from the rough-and-tumble Reversos of yore, there’s no mistaking the clarity line and shape that is a defining characteristic of the Reverso, and the combination of heritage style and precious metal in this Tribute Duoface makes for a potent combination.

Next to the replica Rolex submariner range, Rolex Paul Newman Daytona is the most well-known Rolex collection. the Rolex Daytona was inspired by racecar drivers and enthusiasts, most notably, iconic actor Paul Newman, who reportedly wore his Rolex Daytona every day from 1972 until his death in 2008. the story of Paul Newman Daytona is a bit convoluted and complex. but there is a simple fact — Rolex never officially called any watch the Paul Newman Daytona. 
For most watch fans, the paul Newman Daytona refers to the indeterminable nature of collecting. Paul Newman shows us how great the watch was. people today strive hard to predict what will become a collector’s item – and that is really hard to do. there are a few reasons for this, mostly due to its style and the movement. in the 1960s, automatic chronographs coming out on the market – and everyone wanted one. so this watch that had a reliable, but manually-wound chronograph wasn’t appealing. few Rolex replica watches have dials with this style and it was a unique design for the brand. today people generally agree that the look and feel of this race-themed dial is a classic. 
Rolex never made that many paul Newman Daytona watches as they didn’t sell well. this created rarity, which now translates into value. it was difficult at the time to guess that a watch that couldn’t sell as expected, but that is the way it actually goes. so if you are trying to predict what pieces today will go up in value? it isn’t always a bad idea to find nice, so the better idea is to try to get a Rolex first, you shall enjoy how the classic felt on your wrist.
today this Daytona model is among the most popular collectible Rolex watches worldwide. since they are very rare, this particular piece available with more and more images in the watch market.

Recently, Forbes established their 100 World’s Highest-Paid Entertainers 2017 list with members raking in a combined amount of $5.15 billion from June 2016 to June 2017. As we combed through the list, we couldn’t help but notice that so many of these very wealthy celebrities are Rolex owners too! To a large extent, the fact is that we can’t cover them all in just one article. We made up of the mind to create a shortlist of some of the wealthiest athletes wearing replica Rolex watches. 
UFC megastar, Conor McGregor, is both a solid fighter and lover of the finer things in life. The world champ regularly flaunts his yellow gold Yacht-Master II, Everose gold Sky-Dweller.
Stephen Curry’s earnings that got him a spot on this list is prior to his recent massive $201 million contract extension with the 2016-17 NBA Champions, the Golden State Warriors. Since this is the richest contract in NBA history, we expect him to rank much higher on next year’s Forbes’ list. Will the fan-favorite pick up some more Rolex watches to join his Deepsea watch?
Long-time NBA fixture, Carmelo Anthony takes watches very seriously. So seriously in fact that he’s co-founder of Haute Time magazine. Among so many other timepieces, he has a white gold Sky-Dweller, a stainless steel Yacht-Master II, and several yellow gold Day-Date watches in his fabulous collection.
Fellow Golden State Warrior player, Kevin Durant is just as active in Silicon Valley as an investor in tech start-ups as he is on the basketball court. He’s also a fake Rolex fan and wears the very sought-after stainless steel Daytona with the ceramic bezel regularly. 
While the NBA championship ring eluded him this year, LeBron James remains the highest-paid NBA player on this list. Although Audemars Piguet created a special edition Royal Oak Offshore watch in his honor several years ago, King James has been spotted more recently wearing Rolex replica watches.
Even though Cristiano Ronaldo—the highest-paid athlete on the list—is an official brand ambassador of replica TAG Heuer, that doesn’t stop the soccer star from wearing his yellow gold Daytona and Sky-Dweller watches from time to time.
There you have it; incredible athletes and their watches that they choose to sport. Don’t miss Part II of this series where we cover the cheap Rolex watches of the musicians that made it onto the Forbes’ 100 World’s Highest-Paid Entertainers 2017 list.

It seems that the one who designed a watch has become a hotter topic than who made it. You may guess it’s a ridiculous idea when the most sought-after replica watches are still those made by individual watchmakers, whether working under their own names or for larger brands – the more sophisticated watches from the top Maisons are almost always made by a single watchmaker. 
However, two forces at play change the pictures. For most watches, the first is that more of the actual watchmaking than ever before is manufactured by machine, a direction of travel that improving technology and a tougher business environment is propelling more surely than ever. The result is that the difference between one watch and another is owed more to the engineering design than the skill of the watchmakers doing the assembly – it’s who designed the system that made the watch rather than who made it.
Since 1946, the company had been exploring a new electronic movement and wanted the watch to have a suitably futuristic design when it was finally ready in 1957 it turned to Richard Arbib, an industrial designer with good fame for ideas that captured the space-age zeitgeist. The result was the Ventura, a totally different watch, though its fame owes as much to Elvis Presley wearing one as its futuristic lines.
The second is that the replica watch industry’s traditional approach to design is simply out of date. In a design-literate world in which we know who designed everything from our chairs to our shirts, to accept that our watches simply come from this brand or that Maison no longer makes sense. The watch industry takes its own good time to adjust, but the design is now part of the conversation in ways that would have been unthinkable in earlier decades.
Effectively, unsigned for the next decade’s most famous cheap watches, it was a jobbing watch designer, Gerald Genta, which would change the terms of engagement with a string of highly recognizable and still sought-after designs for the replica Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and others. And while it was only once collectors started to value his work that his name escaped the industry and he achieved recognition in his own right, it was his reputation in the industry that permitted him with the creative freedom to ensure it was his thought that saw the light of day. 
Therefore, should you now care more about the designer than the watchmaker or the brand? On occasion, yes, but it isn’t a binary question. Design matters, even in the most horological of spheres – Vacheron Constantin’s 57260, the most complicated watch ever made, certainly tested the watchmakers and engineers, but Vacheron was right to emphasize the achievement of the Maison’s design team in making visual sense of such a dense package of indications and dials.
