Some of them could easily be on my list too. But as there is so much to find in the world of pre-owned watches, it’s easy to come up with a series of different options. Like all team members, I actively keep tabs on several high quality replica watches via Chrono24. I have picked two (plus some honorable mentions) that are on my watch list for different reasons, and here’s why I would love to add them to my growing collection someday.
The first pick on my watch list: Replica Omega Constellation Manhattan Watches
My first pick is not just one watch but a series of watches. Robert-Jan and I are big fans of the first-generation UK AAA fake Omega Constellation Manhattan watches. It has become one of the most recognizable watches of the ’80s. When the Constellation Manhattan debuted in 1982, it was not just Omega’s new flagship watch, but it also presented several groundbreaking innovations. The first was the revolutionary technique of printing under glass. It allowed Omega’s designer Carol Didisheim and Product Director Pierre-Andre Aellen to incorporate hour/five-minute markers into the crystal and eliminate the traditional bezel.
The second innovation was the use of four iconic claws pressed on the crystal to keep it in place. This resulted in a very thin and instantly recognizable watch. Add the integrated bracelet, and the 33mm luxury copy watches is a joy to wear. On top of that, it is bigger than you might think. It is one of Omega’s greatest classics in my opinion. However, fairly quickly after its introduction, Omega changed the Constellation Manhattan and added a fixed bezel to the second-generation models. This means that the brand got rid of the printing under the glass, and the four claws only had a decorative function from then on.
The magic of the first-generation Constellation Manhattan
As you might understand, the magic of the original concept for the best replica Omega Constellation Manhattan watches can only be found in the first generation. That’s why I would love to own all the different steel and steel-and-gold quartz versions. Robert-Jan and I are always looking for good deals on these as they are relatively easy to find and still fairly affordable. There were four variations but three dial colors. The first was the full-steel champagne-dial model that I own, and the second was a two-tone option with a gold dial. The last two versions were in stainless steel or a combo of steel and gold, both with a dark gray dial.
Robert-Jan recently bought that last model with a dark gray dial in steel and gold, and it’s wonderful. Additionally, Jop, who designed the Fratello logo, recently bought the bicolor version with the gold dial in really good condition, and it looks stunning. As you will understand, their purchases spark the joy and fun of chasing these first-generation Constellation Manhattans for me. After the quartz versions in steel and steel and gold, it might be fun to chase the mechanical and full-gold versions. But until then, the different steel and bicolor options have been at the top of my UK cheap super clone watches list. Prices for these models range from roughly €700 up to €1,500 for ones in good condition. Their relative affordability and impeccable style make them true desires for me.
The second pick on my watch list: Fake Rolex Sea-Dweller ref. 1665 Watches
I already mentioned the Swiss movements replica Rolex Sea-Dweller ref. 16600 watches, of course. That watch would be my perfect everyday watch for the rest of my life. But that doesn’t keep me from lusting after several different classic Rolex models. At the top of the list, we find the expensive Explorer II ref. 1655 “Freccione” and the “Pre-Daytona” ref. 6238. In the more affordable (but still expensive) realm, I adore the steel GMT-Master ref. 1675, the GMT-Master ref. 1675/8 “Tiger Eye,” and the Submariner ref. 5513 that Thomas picked for his list. But another model that caught my eye recently is the Sea-Dweller ref. 1665 “Great White” that Rolex produced from 1977 until 1983.
As most of you know, the Great White was the first Sea-Dweller without “Submariner” on the dial, although it followed the “Double Red” Sea-Dweller, which stated “Submariner 2000” and introduced the Sea-Dweller name to the Rolex collection in 1967. However, not much changed with the introduction of the Great White in 1977 besides the different dial with four white lines on the bottom half that give it its nickname. The fake watches for men still had the same 40mm case with a 2,000ft/610m depth rating and the 1570 caliber inside. I adore the vintage Rolex looks with the matte black dial and large luminous hour markers. Add the acrylic crystal, the absence of the Cyclops, and a rattly Oyster bracelet, and I am an even bigger fan.
A vintage look that is hard to beat
But the magic is in so much more than the sum of all its parts. This Sea-Dweller ref. 1665, the Submariner ref. 5513, and the GMT-Master ref. 1675 are my favorite vintage Rolex designs. From the right production era and with the right dial configuration, they all have oversized hour markers that give the replica watches UK store an incredible presence. For the Sea-Dweller, specifically, the ref. 16660 “Triple Six” that followed the ref. 1665 introduced a thicker case with a large helium escape valve, a sapphire crystal, and an updated movement. It is objectively a better watch, but it doesn’t have that same vintage charm that the Great White has.
That’s why I have been looking more into the history and the different versions that are out there with their respective prices. You can buy a Great White starting at roughly €13.5K, but prices move up to €40K easily for the sought-after Mk. 2 “Rail” dials. I would happily settle for one with discolored lume in good condition, regardless of the dial variant. The Rolex Sea-Dweller ref. 1665 copy watches for sale is that special in all its different variations. It’s one of the greatest vintage dive tools that Rolex created, and that’s why I want it.
