Do you know that Patek Philippe’s reference and movement numbers also include letters? Like many of the biggest names in watchmaking, most of these letters and numbers have a purpose. They can tell you valuable information about your watches, such as the materials used and the functions built into the movement. If you’re not sure what the letters in these alphanumeric codes mean, don’t fret. 
A reference number is a model number that helps to distinguish a watch from other products in the Patek Philippe catalog. Other watchmaking companies follow a strict numbering system, where each number provides information about the replica watches. Patek Philippe is not one of them. While they follow a particular pattern, not every number stands for something. In addition, the rules they seem to follow are not always specific, which is essential to keep in mind when reading this guide.
Patek Philippe’s numerical structure usually follows a loose format like this. 5726/1A-014, although most people refer to these models by the first four digits because they are generally easier to remember. In addition, models in the same series seem to share the first two digits in most cases.
The first digit of the reference number usually indicates the gender of the watch. Numbers beginning with 3, 5, and 6 are generally assigned to men’s models, while reference numbers starting with 4 and 7 are usually given to women’s copy watches. The sequence following the backslash marks the specific details of the eye itself, such as the bezel, bracelet, or case.
For example, the backslash following the number 1 means that the watch is wearing a metal bracelet, similar to the reference number example used above. The letter at the end of the sequence represents the material used, but we will discuss this in more detail later. It is also important to note that if a fake watch has no apparent distinguishing features, it is not uncommon to leave out the reverse part altogether. One such example is the currently produced Ref. 5726A-001. Finally, the last three digits after the hyphen are designated for the dial at the end of the whole reference number.
On the other hand, the letters in the Patek Philippe movement number represent the movement’s complications. Patek Philippe’s reference numbers and movement numbers are overwhelming to the untrained eye. However, if you know how to read them, you can learn much about a watch without even looking at it.

Inside the Black Bay Chrono is the self-winding movement MT5813, which TUDOR has named its in-house chronograph movement. But it was actually developed and manufactured for TUDOR by Breitling. TUDOR was very transparent about this fact at the time of its launch. the MT5813 uses Breitling’s main chronograph movement, the caliber B01 – available for the Navitimer, Chronomat, etc. – as its base. This means a column-wheel chronograph mechanism with a vertical clutch. And a silicon balance spring.
But this is not a pure Breitling movement exact replica watch. It uses a balance wheel with adjustable moments of inertia, proprietary to TUDOR. And a surface treatment. It is also chronometer-certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Institute. It’s worth noting that the Chronomat with a similar movement retails for slightly more than $8k. The Tudor, on the other hand, is more competitively priced.
This is undoubtedly one of the reasons why the Black Bay Chrono is proving so popular. So much so that TUDOR has released two new and improved versions of the Panda for 2021. Now let’s take a quick look at them. 
This is the new Black Bay Chrono Ref 79360N. There are two versions to choose from. One with a panda dial (white with black sub-dials). The other is a reverse panda dial (black with white sub-dials). They replace the original all-steel model, which is no longer in the collection. But there’s more going on here than simply a change in dial color scheme.
First of all, the clever redesign of the case makes these Black Bay chronographs the thinnest versions to date. At 14.2 mm thick, it still isn’t anywhere near as thin mind you. But compared to the previous case thickness of 14.9 mm, this is a big improvement. And it’s an acceptable range for a sporty chronograph like this one. It also looks slimmer thanks to the use of an arched sapphire crystal. The case diameter remains unchanged at 41 mm. This means that the Black Bay Chrono is still a fairly tall copy watch on the wrist. But it’s also what you’d expect from a rugged chronograph. Especially one that can also be used as a dive watch – in a sense.
As mentioned earlier, there are two new dial configurations to choose from. Both use contrast to help improve readability over the original version. Tudor has already introduced contrasting sub-dials on the S&G models, so they know they are a winner. Plus, the panda (and reverse panda) dials look cool. Just ask any Paul Newman fan.
Of course, the dial isn’t perfect and there are some criticisms. One is that the white hands can be very lost on a white dial, and in some cases can be more difficult to read. Another is the continuation of the original model. That is that the snowflake-shaped hour hand blocks the 45 minutes counter between 1:30 and 4:30. I say blocking, but it would be more accurate to say that it “partially obscures”. Neither is a big deal in my opinion but to each his own.
Another welcome change is the new matte black anodized aluminum bezel insert. It comes with a silver tachymeter scale. This is a big improvement over the original, which if you recall, had a matching brushed steel bezel. This not only made it harder to read, but it also made the case look larger than it was. Now you can get a nice frame effect, especially on the Panda dial version. Though undeniably, it also now looks more like a vintage Rolex Daytona. especially with the red lettering on the depth rating. No doubt this is intentional, not that there’s anything wrong with it.
As a Tudor, the Black Bay Chrono offers good versatility in terms of bracelet/strap options. There is a stainless steel bracelet. Inspired by the folding studded straps made by Tudor in the 1950s and 1960s. There is black jacquard woven strap. Finally, there is an aged black leather bundle strap with lavender stitching and a folding clasp. Very much in the spirit of “1970s racing”. I’m not sure I could pull it off, but it does look cool.
Inside is the Manufacture chronograph Movement MT5813. This is the same movement that was developed in collaboration with Breitling as discussed above. And it debuted in the original 2017 version. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that. The movement has proven itself to be a reliable and powerful workhorse. Not to mention accurate, as its chronometer certification attests. And a 70-hour power reserve is hard to beat in a watch at this price point.

A few years ago, Rolex unveiled a new version of its nautical watch, the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master, for the first time in a combination of 904L steel and stellar gold with a warm-toned chocolate dial. The new Yacht Prestige 40 features a bi-directional rotating 60-minute graduated stellar gold bezel with polished raised numerals and indexes that stand out against a matte sandblasted background. This bezel is not only decorative but can also be used to calculate the sailing time between two buoys. 
The use of gold and steel on the same watch has been a signature feature of copy Rolex since 1933 when the brand registered the Rolesor name for this metal combination. In the Yacht Masters collection, stellar gold is used for the bezel and central bracelet links, while the winding crown, middle case, and outer bracelet links are made of 904L steel.
The middle case is made from a single block of steel, the fluted caseback is sealed and screwed down with a special tool so that only Rolex replica watches have access to the movement, and the Yacht-Master 40 is water-resistant to 100 meters/330 feet.
The winding crown is equipped with a Triplock triple water-resistance system and is protected by a crown guard integrated into the middle case.
The chocolate-colored dial has a sunburst pattern, and the rose gold hour-markers and hands are Chromalight-treated for long-lasting brilliance in low light conditions. The sapphire crystal has a Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock for easy reading of the date.
The Yacht-Master 40 is equipped with the caliber 3135, a self-winding mechanical movement that beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 48-hour power reserve. It has a patented blue Parachrom hairspring that is insensitive to magnetic fields. According to Rolex, this hairspring is extremely stable in the face of temperature variations and remains 10 times more accurate than a conventional hairspring when subjected to shocks.
The new Yachtmaster 40 comes with a Super Chronometer certification, proving that this fully assembled watch has undergone a series of tests conducted by replica Rolex in its own laboratories to guarantee the highest standards in terms of precision, power reserve, water-resistance, and automatic winding. In all aspects, it is really one of the most popular Rolex watches among all.

This white gold 40mm Rolex Day-Date is unique in the world. Join us in reviewing the Rolex Day-Date 40mm Meteorite reference number m228239-0055 228239.
Meteorites are rare. These meteorite dial Rolex replica watches are also rare. Reserved by Rolex for only some of their finest watches, certain models have dials chiseled from genuine meteorites. Let’s get up close and personal with one of them, shall we?
Rolex watches are known for having extraordinary dials, but the look and texture of these extraterrestrial meteorite dials look out of this world. Rolex replica has a history of pairing some of its most famous and noteworthy watch collections with rare materials, and these dials can only be found on platinum or 18k gold watches.
Most meteorites are usually made of space rocks, or pieces of planetary cores that eventually find their way into our orbit and are drawn to Earth from the gravitational pull of our planet. Most meteorites also look like an ordinary rock, so where do they find meteorites that look so attractive? To answer this question, we have to go back nearly two hundred years to a meteorite classified as an IVA, the “Gibeon” meteorite, reported by a captain named J.E. Alexander at Namaqualand, Namibia. An 11.25″ x 8.75″ x 0.25″ thick Gibeon meteorite sold at Christie’s for $11,875. This can hopefully give you some context of value.
The “Gibeon” meteorite is thought to be part of the planet’s core and has that distinctive crystalline crosshatch pattern that is essentially composed of crystallized iron and nickel. This pattern can only be seen on the inside of the meteorite after it has been cut open. This pattern is also known as the Widmanstätten pattern or Thomson structure (which may be easier to pronounce). These patterns are usually found in octahedral iron meteorites and some pallasites. Such patterns do not occur in iron ores on Earth.
Whatever remains of the 26,000 KG Gibeon meteorite found along the Big Fish River in Namibia is now protected by the Namibian government. Fortunately, Rolex managed to procure some of this interstellar material before these protection laws were in place.
This exquisite meteorite dial features 18k white gold hands and baguette diamond index hour markers. A curved day indicator window sits above the polished replica Rolex logo at 12 o’clock, and a cyclops magnifying glass is fused to a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal to enhance the visibility of the date window at 3 o’clock. The day and date switch instantaneously at midnight, rather than gradually, as in many other fake watches.
The 18-carat white gold case has a diameter of 40 mm (47.4 mm from one lug to the other) and a case thickness of 12 mm. Rolex has its own foundry, enabling them to cast the most delicate alloys for gold. Maximum luster is ensured. They use their own in-house laboratory to check every piece of metal they obtain to ensure maximum purity using the next generation of equipment. This is reminiscent of the popular adage: “If you want to make sure it’s done right; you need to do it yourself!”.

The Rolex GMT Master II is arguably one of the most sought-after watches on the market today. At Baselworld 2018, Rolex relaunched the Jubilee strap for the “Pepsi” model. Since this relaunch, the waiting list has grown longer and longer. Today, “Batman” and “Pepsi” occupy the top positions. However, in my opinion, there is one more model in the collection that does not get enough love from the watchmaking world. This is the GMT Master II Root Beer.
When it debuted in the 1960s, the Root Beer was already on the wrists of countless celebrities, including Clint Eastwood. The original model was available in solid gold and two-tone options. Even with its commercial success, Root Beer faded from Rolex’s catalog until 2018, when replica Rolex revived the variant. Instead of using gold, Rolex updated this model with 18K pearlescent. While there is a solid Everose version, I opted to try out the two-tone variant of the watch.
The modern Root Beer features the largest case design now commonly found on the Submariner and other GMT models. It feels very substantial on the wrist and lives up to our expectations of a modern luxury sports watch – a balance of precision and practicality. Although it bears the name “Root Beer”, it, unfortunately, does not feature the original two-tone brown and gold bezel. Instead, Rolex uses black and brown. This makes sense, as it follows Rolex’s current GMT look.
Another element that has changed from the original is the bracelet. Instead of the Jubilee, it uses a standard Oyster bracelet with a two-tone polished center link. To ensure maximum comfort, the clasp features an easy-link system that allows for instant adjustments. I’m not one to make 2020 predictions (RIP Baselworld 2020). However, it would be great to see a version of this watch on Jubilee again.
Have you ever secretly wanted to be the “Rolex Gold Watch Guy”, but just couldn’t bring yourself to that level of luxury? Root beer is a solution. It’s not as dazzling as wearing a solid gold model like the President, but it can still make a statement. The mixture of Everose and steel in the Root Beer gives it a higher level of expressiveness and reads more formally than a standard Submariner or Batman GMT. As with most modern Rolex replica watches, just leave it on the bracelet and you’re good to go. You can try it with a brown leather strap or a NATO. However, it just looks best on a two-tone Oyster watch.
I think the Root Beer shines best when paired with a navy blue windowpane suit and some nice brown loafers. In the summer, it would look great with any polo shirt in your closet. I think Root Beer really hits the mark when it comes to getting more out of a sporty watch. A black tie is the only occasion I wouldn’t wear this watch. This style doesn’t work well under a French cuff.
Look, this isn’t really a hard sell. At the end of the day, you have to decide what watch is right for you. While I certainly understand that two-tone watches can sometimes feel a bit dated, there’s something different here. The tasteful use of Everose throughout the design is elegant and eye-catching. The brown and black bezel brings something unique and “new” to the table. I also understand the allure of a steel Rolex, but there is something special about root beer. I think the future may return to more precious metal watches. This is a great watch that is ahead of the curve. I enjoyed wearing it on my wrist for a month and highly recommend you check it out if you get the chance.

The Air-King is one of the oldest names in Rolex’s catalog that is still in the lineup today. Most collectors are more familiar with the replica Rolex Air-King in its current form: a contemporary aviator’s tool watch outfitted with a 40mm case and a dial that closely resembles cockpit instruments. However, the Air-King actually has its roots firmly planted in the realm of dress watches, featuring a design more like that of the Oyster Perpetual than a Professional series pilot’s watch.
In this guide, we take an in-depth look at this often-overlooked fake Rolex watch and answer a few popular questions floating around the web, such as is Rolex Air-King discontinued? Also, what is the Rolex Air-King price? The series is positioned as an affordable option for collectors of all budgets, both on the retail level and the secondary market. This comprehensive guide covers both of these topics and much more, so continue reading to learn all there is to know about the beloved Rolex Air-King.
These days, the modern Rolex Air-King is squarely situated as one of the brand’s professional tool watches. However, that hasn’t always been the case. While this watch has always technically been a pilot’s watch, it has largely been a more popular choice for entry-level Rolex collectors, thanks to its timeless design and affordable price point. Over the decades, it became more of a cult favorite on the fringe rather than a mainstream piece beloved by the masses.
Throughout those years, we’ve seen some great iterations, innovations, and upgrades to this classic and elegant line. We’ve also seen a major shift in positioning by replica Rolex, stopping production after nearly 7-decades to totally upend the design in favor of turning it back to its original, tool-watch roots.
Here in this guide, we’ll explain the storied history of this timepiece, talk about its value, and outline all of the features, options, and upgrades we’ve seen over the years. If you’re thinking of investing in a Rolex Air-King, we’ve just about compiled everything that you’ll need to make an informed decision right here.
The Air-King is the only model that remains in production today, and most interestingly, Rolex does not consider these early models to be the official start of the collection. As the history of the Air-King has spanned nearly eight decades, the best way to explore its entire history is through its references. Here, we’ll examine the Rolex Air-King history through its five most important references.

One of the many attractive aspects of Rolex is that the brand offers multiple price points, ranging from affordable to sky-high. While certain vintage replica Rolex watches can often cost six or even seven figures, the vast majority of new Rolex watches are priced between $5,000 and $50,000. These prices depend on several factors, but the two most important ones are the function of the watch and the materials used in its construction.
It’s not just formal Rolex watches that come with a hefty price tag. Take the super sporty Rolex Yacht Prestige. 116689, for example, which retails for $48,180. With its sturdy 44mm solid 18k white gold case, matching white gold bracelet, and a bezel made of 950 platinum, the 116689 is a $50,000 Rolex sports watch with considerable wrist impact and a state-of-the-art special movement.
Similar to the Sky-Dweller, the Rolex Yacht Prestige is a young collection (first launched in 2007) with an impressive complication that makes it the most complicated replica Rolex watch available. Thanks to its in-house caliber 4161, the Yacht Prestige has an adjustable countdown timer that can be programmed from one to ten minutes. This countdown timer has flyback and flyback functions, as well as a mechanical memory that saves the countdown values you have selected. At retail, the Rolex Yachtmaster II 116689 in white gold costs thousands of dollars more than its yellow gold counterpart and is, at present, the most expensive Yachtmaster watch available.
It is no coincidence that the most expensive Rolex watches are usually precious metal versions of the brand’s most complicated models. Gold and platinum are inherently more expensive than stainless steel, and technically complex movements require more components and are more difficult and costly to manufacture. Aside from the Sky-Dweller and Yacht-Master II, Rolex’s third most complex movement is the caliber 4130 chronographs in the Daytona, so it’s no surprise that the yellow gold and platinum models of the Rolex Daytona are among the most expensive in the brand’s catalog.
Rolex Daytona solid gold watches start at $10,000 less than the price of a Sky-Dweller gold watch and go up depending on the type of gold (white and stellar gold cost more than yellow gold), the bracelet style (gold bracelets cost more than Oysterflex bracelets), and the dial style of the watch (options like meteorite and diamond hour markers are naturally more expensive). With that in mind, like almost all fake Rolex Daytona models, expect to pay a high price unless you plan to spend some time on the waiting list, with the Everose Daytona 116505 regularly reaching $50,000+ on the open market.
While a significant number of Rolex platinum models will cost more than $50,000, this price range still gives you access to many of the most expensive and exclusive models in the brand’s current lineup, such as some of the brand’s most desirable and technologically advanced solid gold versions.

Watches that appear in movies arent just handsome accessories; they add depth to the characters by combining with the storyline. In the past, watches in movies often became incidental icons – the right watch strapped to the right (handsome) wrist. Later, watches in movies became carefully planned product placements by studios. But no matter how they got there, the best replica watches that appeared on the wrists of some of Hollywood’s biggest actors have become stars in their own right.
The silver screen is the best billboard in the world. Not only do you have the visual aspect, but you also have the time to explain the product, associate it with the ideal movie star, and even (in some cases) give it a unique character that the audience will forever associate with that watch. Much can be learned about a character through their choice (or counter-choice) of a watch. Throughout the history of cinema, many characters have worn watches and fashions and have enjoyed unprecedented success or longevity as a result. Savvy product placement can make a brand a lot of money, but more than that, it affects our cultural context in a real and tangible way.
We especially love luxury watches on the silver screen because of the awe they inspire. Avid collectors love to rewind to the past and see these beautiful (and now vintage) – pieces. Often, these replica watches even inspire an entire generation of collectors. So here, we’ve rounded up some of the most iconic movie watches you may have missed.
The watch only made a cameo appearance in the famous movie “Glengarry Glen Ross”. But today, we’re still talking about it. Alec Baldwin, playing an outside executive “from downtown”, says these cutting words and shows off this famous fake Rolex Day-Date in yellow gold, which immediately went down in movie history. The watch was already famous for being worn by world leaders, dignitaries, and celebrities – the movie interlude was really just a cheerleader for this iconic Rolex gold watch.
It’s a sneaky good movie, with an even better luxury watch lurking on the wrist of the debonair Mr. Clooney. George Clooney excels in the difficult role of Lee Gates, but the wordless performance of his solid gold Omega Speedmaster Professional watch is truly moving.
The premise of “Money Monster” is terrifying. A disgruntled investor goes berserk and overtakes a game show on live television. Who is the host of the show? None other than George Clooney. His character, Lee Gates, is held hostage along with his tempting stock. To know his (and its) fate, you must watch this movie.
Matthew McConaughey stars as the boisterous Mark Hanna in this 2013 classic. Hannah is a perfect example of the era. A genius, his methods, and approach are …… unconventional to say the least. These people in the film are very wretched in many senses of the word. You need to be a little wild to survive in that dog-eat-dog environment.
The fake Rolex Datejust is a flawless badge of power, but for a character like Mark Hanna, it can also serve as a disguise for the rest of the world. A luxury watch and a smart suit can go a long way toward earning somebody’s trust. One of the smartest investments he’s ever made.
We’re ending this list with a real curveball. Few people doubt Natalie Portman’s ability to play any role sent her way, but her performance as astronaut Lucy Cola is really something. The Oscar winner shines in the role, as does the unusual-yet-authentic Omega Speedmaster X-33 in titanium that calls her wrist home.
We’re going to end this list with a real curveball. Few doubted Natalie Portman’s ability to play any role, but her performance as astronaut Lucy Cora was truly remarkable. The Oscar winner shines in the role, as does the unusual but authentic Omega Speedmaster X-33 titanium watch on her wrist.
The film is a truly compelling exploration of the mental state of an astronaut who does and sees more than many mere mortals can comprehend. Perhaps this explains her somewhat odd choice, although this unusual analog/digital hybrid quartz watch is indeed the model worn by the astronauts, as it offers a high degree of functionality. While it is far less recognizable than the classic Speedmaster Moonwatch, the X-33’s appearance in the movie is highly accurate, which only further enhances the authenticity of this must-watch film.
