The Schaffhausen-based assembling Replica IWC will acquaint another expansion with its rich Portofino accumulation at SIHH 2015 in January. The IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Pure Classic has a basic, downplayed showcase and a long-running in-house bore.

The IWC Portofino family has a calm dial format, and the Pure Classic demonstrates to it at its most readable and immediate. The dial gimmicks basic, gold-plated hour markers with Roman numerals at 12 and 6. A minutes scale runs along the outside of the dial. The hour and minutes hands are likewise plated in rose gold, and the dial itself is silver plated. Above it, the sapphire precious stone is nonreflective and has a curved edge.

IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Pure Classic Soldieralthough the dial does not uncover it, the Pure Classic has a noteworthy force store of 192 hours. In case you’re searching for the force hold pointer, you must turn the watch over: you can watch the full eight days tick down through a showcase seen through the sapphire precious stone caseback. Likewise obvious through the back are the two extensive extensions, which are embellished with côtes de Genève. These extensions cover the majority of the development’s inward workings yet at the same time give a perspective of the equalization wheel.

Buying New vs. Vintage Rolex Replica

Posted by on December 24, 2014 Comments Off on Buying New vs. Vintage Rolex Replica

Just to warn everyone up front, this week’s Fratello Friday article concerns my personal opinions on buying and collecting Rolex replica watches. Whether one likes it or not, one cannot deny that Rolex still gets more attention from watch consumers than any other watch brand. I respect Rolex for what it is able to accomplish (producing high-quality watches in large numbers for reasonable prices) and I own and have owned my share of Rolex watches, both vintage and new. This week, the focus is on vintage Rolexes.
My opinion on this subject changes once in a while, I must admit. Once, I even wrote an article on why I don’t collect vintage Rolex watches, yet now I seem to be “stuck” with only vintage Rolex watches in my modest collection. However, I remain strongly opinionated about vintage replcia Rolex.

rol
Let me start by telling you why I love vintage Rolex watches. Like most other vintage watches (from other brands), a Rolex sports watch from the 1960s or ’70s has an aura of adventure; the wear on the case and bracelet show that the watches had something of a rough life; the things that the watch witnessed might have been awesome. The fun with vintage Rolex watches is that because there are so many of them around, you can usually find the exact “configuration” that suits your personal taste. For example, I don’t like the ones with the old tritium markers that have turned a mustard yellow color; I prefer them slightly off-white. I also don’t like spider-web dials (cracked paint) and prefer them to be all-matte with big, round hour markers.
I’ve learned that a lot about buying and collecting vintage Fake Rolex has to do with aesthetics. There is little interest in the mechanical movement; people generally trust it to be good. (It is a Rolex, for crying out loud.) Many collectors tend to be more interested in a nice-looking dial, or matching pair of hands, than to making sure the movement is all nice and fresh. Nothing wrong with that, of course, and these movements are fairly easy to service, but I always make sure that the watch is in perfect technical working order as well.
Now, the other side of the story is that there is a lot of fraud going on in the vintage Rolex scene. As with all transactions in which serious money is involved — whether it be classic cars, paintings, real estate, even adopting babies — there are always those who want to cheat and scam other people who wish to own a certain commodity (in this case, a watch). There are dealers who claim to have million-dollar businesses selling vintage Rolexes, who claim to be able to supply whatever model you need or whichever is in demand at that moment.
So, in the end, if you want to buy a vintage Rolex timepiece, make sure you know your budget and know exactly what you want. If you – like me – don’t care too much about the position of the wording on the dial, how yellow the patina will be, or how faded the bezel should be, you are fairly safe. In any case, make sure you “buy the seller,” which means that you should be able to trust the seller in order to make the purchase. It is impossible to know everything about vintage Rolex watches, but you should feel comfortable with the watch that the seller is offering you. If he says it is fine and you did a plausibility check, you should be able to take his word for it. Some sellers offer your cash back if anything appears to be incorrect after the purchase. Make sure to do a check on the good guys out there by using the online vintage Rolex communities. However, always try to think logically when you are looking at a vintage Rolex Copy for sale. Do not lose your head over it. If it doesn’t feel good, then don’t pull the trigger.

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M GMT GoodPlanet

Posted by on December 22, 2014 Comments Off on Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M GMT GoodPlanet

The Replica Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT (“PO-GMT” for short), is available in the familiar color codes of the Planet Ocean, with a black dial and silver/white markers and hands. Only the tip of the GMT hand and the word “GMT” on the dial are in orange. There’s also a special model with a navy-blue dial and bezel that is created as a tribute to the partnership between Omega and the GoodPlanet Foundation. And that’s the version that we’re looking at today. We received the version on the (very comfortable) blue rubber strap with single folding clasp and enjoyed wearing it. But let’s first start with a tiny bit of history…
History
Omega Seamaster watches have a long history, and through the years we’ve seen quite a few variations. The first model that was introduced in 1948 looked like what we would describe today as a dress watch and it wasn’t until 1957 that the Seamaster got the look of what we nowadays consider to be a dive watch — a round, stainless steel case with a rotating bezel and a depth rating that allows for more contact with water than washing the dishes or taking a shower. The Seamaster 300 reference 2913 has become a collectible piece and this year Omega introduced a good-looking re-issue of it
The design of the Seamaster Planet Ocean, which debuted in 2005, recalls that of the first Seamaster 300 meter models launched in 1957. In 2013, Omega finally introduced a GMT version of the Seamaster PO, and it’s equipped with Omega’s in-house Caliber 8605 with GMT time-zone function. In our review of the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Chrono, we concluded that its well-known competitor, the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea, had some serious competition. Now we’re curious to find out whether the Rolex GMT-Master II also gets a true competitor with this Omega Seamaster PO GMT.
Overall appearance
Sporty, robust, modern, functional, stylish, elegant — just a few words to describe the new Seamaster PO GMT that I heard from people when I asked them to capture the watch in a word (or two). I also feel that all these words are applicable, along with some other words like, for instance, “comfortable.” While the other words to describe the Seamaster PO GMT will depend on the situation, it was comfortable in all situations. While comfort is not a quality that will be readily apparent on the surface, it’s a very important characteristic of this superb-all-around watch.
Features
The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m GMT GoodPlanet (yes, it’s quite a long name) packs a lot of interesting and very handy features. First of all, there’s the nice-sized 43.5-mm stainless steel case that is very nicely finished. There’s the in-house movement with co-axial escapement, there’s the (convenient) 60 hours of power reserve when fully wound and, finally, there’s the very useful GMT function! All these features will be described, but first we need to explain a bit more about the GMT function.
Movement
This is the part that most often intrigues the team here at the Monochrome headquarters. And in this case (pun intended) the movement is very interesting, and we’ve covered it on several occasions before. So please check our previous articles and I’ll be short and sweet with the description today. Since Omega is going to introduce its new Master Co-Axial movements into the entire collection, we would not be surprised if this Seamaster PO GMT will be equipped with Omega’s 100% anti-magnetic movement soon.
The verdict – pros and cons
This is the easy part for me to write, because the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m GMT GoodPlanet is overall a superb watch that I can definitely recommend. Yes, it has an annoyingly long name. But the size is just right, as is the weight, the options for strap or bracelet offers choices for people who prefer a steel bracelet or a leather or rubber strap. And even if the weight is too much, you can opt for the titani
