One of this week’s picks is Rolex Datejust replica watches for sale that I saw in the metal at the Miami show and has been stuck in my brain ever since, but the rest are good old-fashioned internet sleuthing finds!
1967 Rolex Datejust Ref. 1601 Replica Watches in White Gold with Black Gilt Dial
Nestled in a case full of yellow gold Day-Dates and various stone dial Rolex at last week’s Miami Beach Antique Show, this humble white gold AAA UK fake Rolex Datejust watches caught my eye and has been on my mind ever since.
Given the trend towards “classy” watches as opposed to “sport” copy watches wholesale, most collectors I encountered last week wanted to talk about Day-Dates and Cartiers more than Submariners and Daytonas. That’s great; I’ve always been a fan of the less-sporty vintage options. The top replica watches you’ll find me wearing most is a gilt-dialed Explorer, probably the “dressiest” “sport” Rolex. It’s smaller and delicate looking and humble. This Datejust is similar to the “sportiest” “dress” watch from the same era. It’s solid gold and very clearly a Datejust while featuring the same gilt dial finish as my Explorer and easily mistakable for stainless steel at a glance.
Tip: if you want to spot a vintage Datejust in white gold, look for the little infill on the inside corners of the lugs, mimicking the midcase construction of the Day-Date. Anyway, Tariq probably doesn’t want to trade my 1016 for this 1601 straight up so someone else should go and grab this one while it’s still available. You’ll be the owner of the classiest, most under-the-radar vintage luxury 2025 Rolex super clone watches on the planet.
The seller, Momentum Dubai, is located in Dubai and this Datejust has an asking price of $31,300.
1951 Rolex Oyster Precision Ref. 6098 Big Bubbleback Pre-Explorer Fake Watches
Nicknamed the “Pre-Explorer,” the perfect replica Rolex ref. 6098 watches is a 36mm Oyster case that sits in a transition period for the brand. In 1931, Rolex introduced its Perpetual full-rotor automatic movement, thus creating the Bubbleback era of the 1930s and 1940s. By the end of the 1940s, trends moved towards larger cases, and Rolex updated its catalog with watches like the 6098 and the ref. 5030 “Pre-Datejust.” Regularly referred to as the Big Bubbleback generation, these references were a big step toward a more familiar Rolex catalog, which by 1956 would officially offer the Submariner, GMT-Master, Explorer, Datejust, and Day-Date.
In this pre-model-name period of Rolex production, a single reference could be used for a variety of different best copy watches. Let me explain with the 6098. This same reference encompasses solid yellow gold cases with “Galaxy” star dials as well as the “Pre-Explorer” stainless steel 6098s worn by mountaineers like Jürg Marmet and Norman Günther Dyhrenfurth on early Everest expeditions. See, very different watches.
The example we have here is more like the early Everest fake watches shop UK and looks to be in strong, original condition. It is on offer at a smaller auction house in the UK and, in my opinion, is one of the best ways to have a true piece of Rolex history for relatively very little money.
This Rolex lot 193 of Tayler & Fletcher’s Fine Art, Vintage & Interiors sale starting today, Friday, January 16th, 2025. The high bid at the time of publication is £1,100.
1970 Heuer Carrera Ref. 7753 NT Replica Watches
After being a bit worried when I sat down to compile the picks this week, it turned out to be a shockingly good week to search the small auction houses of the world. This ref. 7753 NT hails from one of the final years of manually wound, classic case-shaped Carrera generation of the 1960s and very early 1970s. As I have spent time explaining many times before, any Carrera, in this case with a panda or reverse panda dial motif, is considered to be extremely collectible and desirable. For one of the most beautifully designed and legible chronographs ever made, contrasting black and white tones do a ton to send these high quality replica watches over the top.
This example appears to have a fairly clean dial with little to no spotting or discoloration to note. The lume plots are mostly intact although with some discoloration that may not be the most attractive tone of creamy patina. I can look past some poorly aged lume plots when fake watches UK site is seemingly fresh to market, un-messed with, and original. FYI, this Carrera clearly needs a service and some cleaning, but with a Valjoux 7730 inside, that should be easy work for your local watchmaker.
This Heuer lot 1719 of Rendell’s Auctioneers & Estate Agents’s Antiques and Collectables, inc. silver and jewellery sale starting Thursday, January 23rd, 2025. The estimate is £4,000 to £5,000, and there were no bids at the time of publication.
