Replica Rolex Datejust ref. 16018 Watches
The first gold UK 1:1 Rolex fake watches that people think of when asked is often the Day-Date. But what about a full-gold Datejust? The reference we picked is the Datejust ref. 16018. It was available with a plethora of exotic dials, but they go for a lot of money. However, you can find the versions with simpler dials on offer for really nice prices.
The ref. 16xxx models came out in 1977 and were the first Datejust models without the characteristic pie-pan dials. But who can refuse the combination of a full-gold Datejust with a deep black dial like the one in the pictures? It’s an absolute beauty!
Inside the 36mm case, Rolex equipped the Datejust ref. 16018 with the then-new caliber 3035 with a quickset date feature. It was a nice upgrade compared to the brand’s caliber 1575 that came before. All the Datejust 16xxx references are worth checking out, but, if you ask us, the full-gold versions are the best. You can find one on a leather strap for less than €10K. With that, you’ll have a classy dress watch that will suit a variety of situations.
But when it comes to gold, it’s “go big or go home.” You can find a full-gold Datejust 16018 under €15K, but one in great condition will be around €15K–17K. What you get in return is one of the most stylish gold Rolexes ever produced. On top of that, the Datejust debuted in yellow gold in 1945, so you could say that this is the perfect copy watches in its original form. It makes this stunner even more relevant at this great price.
Fake IWC Portugieser ref. 3714 Watches
The IWC Portugieser is the brand’s popular pick, so, in that sense, it’s not a watch for this list. But hear me out because we were surprised about the prices this luxury replica IWC watches goes for on the pre-owned market. The Portugieser ref. 3714 was introduced in 1998, but it wasn’t the first of the “new” Portugieser models from IWC.
Three years before, the brilliant Portugieser Chronograph Rattrapante ref. 3712 came out. It was met with a lot of praise and kickstarted the legacy of the modern Portugieser. With the simpler ref. 3714, the brand struck gold. The high quality super clone watches removed the rattrapante function, and IWC replaced it with a regular automatic chronograph movement.
The Swiss movements fake watches has a gracious round-shaped 40.9mm stainless steel case measuring 12.6mm thick and 47mm from lug to lug. IWC paired it with a beautiful dial with Arabic numerals and two vertically aligned sub-dials. The brand produced several dial variations, including an all-black one with rhodium hands and numerals, a reverse panda dial, a silver dial with blue hands and numerals, and a silver dial with gold hands and numerals. That last one has always been my favorite because it looks incredibly stylish.
IWC equipped the best quality replica IWC Portugieser Chronograph ref. 3714 watches with its Valjoux 7750-based caliber 79240. The brand modified the base movement and upgraded various parts, including the escapement, balance, and hairspring. It turned out to be the perfect movement for this highly successful chronograph. But here is the kicker: you can get one for between roughly €3.5K and €4.5K. Additionally, a rose gold version goes for well under €10K. Those are some amazing prices for this classic.
Omega Seamaster 60 “Big Crown” Replica Watches
Our next pre-owned pick is the Omega Seamaster 60 “Big Crown.” I wrote about this cheap fake watches before, but it’s hard to keep it off this week’s list after seeing it and checking the prices. This will be perfect if you want a modestly sized and affordable vintage diver from a big name. The Seamaster 60 “Big Crown” was produced in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
When this AAA online replica watches debuted, it was a step away from the oversized professional divers typical of Omega. This smaller Seamaster featured a slim 37mm case with a lug-to-lug of just under 42mm. As it was a less serious dive watch, Omega tested it for use underwater to 60 meters. That made it a perfect watch for snorkeling, a popular water sport at the time.
The large screw-down crown contrasted the design of the modest case, hence its nickname. Inside the case, Omega equipped the watch with its caliber 565. The automatic movement features a date at 3 o’clock that you can adjust by using the crown. The movement operates at 19,800vph and offers 50 hours of power reserve.
Omega produced three versions of the replica watches store that all came with Bakelite bezels and a stainless steel bracelet (ref. 1069). The first came with a black dial, the second featured a burgundy dial, and the third, pictured above, had a dark blue dial. The last is the one I prefer as it looks super cool. You can buy a Seamaster 60 “Big Crown” for between €2K and €4.5K. That will get you a watch with plenty of character that still wears like a charm.
