Two Luxury Replica Watches UK On The Block At Phillops New Yord December 2020 Racing Pulse Auction

No Comments

The year-end Phillips auction, Racing Pulse, took place Saturday, December 12, 2020 in New York. It featured several incredible and interesting replica watches with Swiss movements to both those bidding and enthusiasts in general.

In Prices Reached: Four Richard Mille Watches And The Legendary Panerai Luminor Slytech Daylight Belonging to Sylvester Stallone On The Block At The Phillips New York December 2020 Racing Pulse Auction, I went into the two watches that actor Sylvester Stallone, long known in collector communities for his love of beefy timepieces, had consigned to this auction.
A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus

For me it is quite a surprise to see one of the blue dials A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus fake watches only launched in the autumn of 2019 already at auction. We have discussed this watch in detail here on Quill & Pad, in particular because at its launch it was quite controversial and widely discussed as this traditionally elegant brand’s very first serial stainless steel model in the current sporty trend.
While the Odysseus line is not a limited edition, it is limited by production, and there has predictably been much more demand for the piece than production has allowed. I suspected the auction price could end up pretty high, overtaking the retail price of €28,000, and I was right: it came in at just about triple the retail price! As the first one to come up, it will set a precedent, and this bears watching. The luxury copy watches offered here is unworn.

Jaeger-LeCoultre automatic watch donated by Bono

Bono, best known as lead singer for U2, has donated something a lot less showy and a lot more elegant and classy to the Time Counts portion of this auction than some of the others: a vintage brown leather strap Jaeger-LeCoultre replica watch online for sale with special meaning for him.
This small, very elegant watch from approximately 1965 is outfitted with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s first automatic movement with centrally mounted winding rotor: Caliber K881. The brand’s first automatic movements – as of 1947 – were fitted with bumper-style automatic movements; this is the second iteration of JLC’s automatic movement.

Bono gave this best 1:1 copy watch to his father, Brendan Robert Hewson. After Hewson passed away, Bono kept this timepiece and now generously donates it to charity. It is being offered here without reserve.

UK Quality Replica TAG Heuer x Bamford Watch Department Limited Edition Aquaracer

No Comments

George Bamford and I have a piece of TAG Trivia in common; our first ‘proper’ sports watch was Swiss made fake TAG Heuer Formula 1 watches. In truth my first high quality wristwatch was a vintage Rolex Air King, but in terms of an actual sports watch, complete with rotating bezel, then it was a black and blue TAG Heuer Formula 1; you know the ones with plastic cases, bezels and rubber straps. I loved that watch and wish I’d kept it — it really was cool and it was no surprise to me that George Bamford also started with one of these. Because when it comes to cool, Mr Bamford knows his onions; as it seems does his wife who now actually collects these original TAG Formula 1s. And so with its latest offering driven by George, the Bamford Watch Department has added its signature licks and riffs to another TAG Heuer modern classic.

The AAA best replica Aquaracer was launched in 2004 as TAG Heuer’s dive watch, although the lineage of the watch can be traced back to 1982, when Jack Heuer unveiled the Heuer 2000. It was the mid-90s iterations that heralded the use of the dodecagon bezel that has carried through to this most recent watch in the brand’s line up.

Black Dial Fake TAG Heuer Formula 1 Watches

Driven by the Calibre 5 movement, the most recent Aquaracer manages to look very much like its own man, which isn’t easy for dive best quality replica watches. The default position is to ape the Submariner, but the styling and finish of the Aquaracer looks both dashing and individual.

“When designing this limited-edition Aquaracer, we looked to models from TAG Heuer’s past for creative inspiration. The orange design elements and sporty bezel are reminiscent of the impactful TAG Heuer pieces that were launched between 1979 and 1994 and paved the way for the Aquaracer collection, which made its official debut in 2004,” comments George Bamford.

Perfect Replica TAG Heuer Formula 1 Watches

I was given an opportunity to look at the watch a couple of months ago, when visiting Bamford’s London HQ and to use one of George’s phrases, it rocks! The orange accents are cool and whilst they might hark back to the 70s era of vibrant dials, the 1:1 perfect fake watches looks and feels very current on the wrist.

The case is 43mm sandblasted titanium and it comes on a matching bracelet, also in titanium. A rotating 12-sided bezel features classic dive watch numerals and a funky orange triangle at 12 o’clock.

The dial resembles a vinyl record with concentric circles and the orange theme continues with alternating five-second dashes on the chapter ring. Waterproof to 300m this watch can get seriously wet, which is of course entirely the point of a dive watch. Like all of Bamford’s recent collaborations, I’m pretty confident that all 1500 pieces will go like hot cakes!

Hands-on Best Fake Zenith Chronomaster Revival “Lupin the Third” – Second Edition UK

No Comments

Last year Swiss made fake Zenith watches launched an unprecedented version of its Chronomaster A384 inspired by the Japanese manga and anime series Lupin the Third. It was unprecedented because this black and grey model only existed in the ‘fictionalised’ realm of gentleman-thief Lupin’s universe. Although brands like Seiko are at home producing watches dedicated to characters from Japanese manga, the Zenith Chronomaster Revival “Lupin the Third” marked Zenith’s first foray into this imaginary dimension – and it was a resounding success.  For 2020, Zenith follows up with a second Revival Lupin the Third model based on a second cameo appearance of Zenith’s A384 in the first TV series dedicated to Lupin the Third and his gang. Limited to 200 pieces, the watch was initially available exclusively at the Zenith Ginza Boutique in Tokyo but will be winging its way over to international retailers very soon.

Lupin III is one of the most popular characters in Japanese manga folklore. Created by Monkey Punch (Kazuhiko Katō), Lupin III was first serialised in Weekly Manga Action magazine in August 1967. A huge success and one of Japan’s longest-living franchises, Lupin III has evolved from print to a TV series, from films to video games and from live-action films to television specials and even a musical!

White Dial Fake Zenith Watches

As the grandson of Arsène Lupin, the fictional gentleman thief, detective and master of disguise created by French writer Maurice Leblanc in 1905, Lupin III inherits his grandfather’s penchant for robbery and dapper style. His modus operandi is to send a calling card to potential victims and alert them to his intentions. Daisuke Jigen is his sidekick and an expert marksman (always dressed in dark suits with strong mafia overtones). Other characters in Lupin III are Goemon Ishikawa XIII, a master swordsman and Lupin’s love interest (and occasional competitor for the loot), the voluptuous femme fatale Fujiko Mine. Fast on their heels is Inspector Koichi Zenigata of Interpol.

The success of the print version of Lupin III spawned a TV series in 1971. In the very first episode, we see marksman Daisuke Jigen behind the wheel of a red sports car. Dressed in a tight blue and white jumpsuit and matching helmet, he’s wearing goggles and – wait a minute – what’s that on his wrist? A close-up reveals that the high quality replica watches is a cartoon take of perhaps the most famous chronograph of the day. With its hexagonal cushion-shaped case, pump-style pushers, tachymetre scale, tri-compax layout and steel ladder bracelet, it is clearly meant to be Zenith’s 1969 El Primero reference A384. Fair enough, the colour scheme is not accurate, but even the date window is featured in its 4h30 position, and the brand name appears as ENIT (minus the Z and H, no doubt for copyright reasons) along with the cursive font used for El Primero (hard to decipher what it actually says). This first cameo of the A384 inspired the first Lupin the Third watch with its black dial, grey counters and tachymetre scale.

Stainless Steel Replica Zenith Watches

The styling of Lupin III is totally in tune with the groovy 1970s: flared trousers, shaggy hairstyles and accessories to match. Featuring an El Primero A384 watch would have made perfect sense to Monkey Punch. After all, the El Primero was a rock star on the watchmaking scene having claimed first place in the race to create an automatic chronograph movement (with a hyper-precise 5Hz frequency to boot). Initially launched as a movement in January 1969, the integrated El Primero high-frequency column-wheel chronograph calibre was eventually housed in three variants: the classic round A386 model with tri-colour counters, the A385 cushion-shaped model with a gradient brown dial, and the reference A384 with the same bold hexagonal cushion-shaped case as the A385 but with a panda dial (white background, black counters).

Fans of the original A384 and A386 references were in for a treat last year when Zenith launched faithful Revival re-editions to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Fans of Lupin III and the El Primero A384 also got to celebrate with the first Revival Lupin the Third model. Well, it turns out that the El Primero didn’t make just one cameo appearance in the first episode of the 1971 TV series, but two. The second time the A384 appears on Daisuke Jigen’s wrist (what’s with the hairy knuckles?), you can almost make out the brand name and the colour scheme is closer to the original 1969 A384 panda dial with a white centre and black chronograph counters.

Cheap UK Fake TAG Heuer Elegant collection, powered by a movement from the present, with an all-time classic design from the past

No Comments

As a watch journalist in 2020, based in Europe under the draconian rule of the pandemic, it’s easy to lose perspective and here is a particular example. Despite my missionary preachings and personal taste, 38-39 millimeters is not the goldilocks size for everyone. So with this self-realization in mind, fake TAG Heuer Elegant collection is pitch perfect at what for most buyers are a medium at 42mm. And there is not a shadow of a doubt that these four strong contenders from La Chaux-de-Fonds are likely to hit a sweet spot as a modern takes on a stone cold classic.
The four references here are based on the same classic Carrera case, yet shows just how much colours, accents and strap choices can ransform your wrist-worn favourite. The Swiss made replica TAG Heuer Carrera watches is as resilient and adaptable as ever in 2020, in these four sleeker, more suit-ready takes on the larger more muscular Carrera Sport Chronograph collection.

The Case
We have seen the shape before, one of the most iconic shapes, echoing the heyday of the sports chronograph around 50 years ago, sharpened yet familiar. The recognisable Carrera case remains perfectly proportioned, which is surely its calling card. Aesthetics. Balance. And balance is more prominent in the Elegant collection than the Chronograph Sports, with a dynamic between dial and case body underlined by the slim, smooth bezel.

It plays well with the faceted, angled lugs, and the play of light is delicate in the well defined brushed body with its polished top. Purposeful looking pushers and a large, tool of a crown toughens up the elegant image just-so. Everyday solidity is ensured by a sapphire crystal and case back, and a 100m depth rating. Once again running the risk of contradicting myself, if you love the classic 160th Carrera but have a more manly wrist than me and a more slender wallet, then yes this is a classic, medium sized alternative packing a proper punch.
The Dials that make all the difference
The four aaa quality copy TAG Heuer are infused with just the right balance of sports and elegance, the perfect mix in a 2020 of tuxedos with steel sports watches popping out of the cuff rather than a delicate slim gold watch. So far so perfect, and the four references sit securely on a four-tiered ladder of elegance, starting with the toughest looking one in the group, with the pure monochromatic elegance of black and steel.
Reference CBN2010.BA0642 is a classic sports watch, and the closest you’ll get to a modern sized version of a vintage Heuer Carrera. This has a solid H-link brushed steel bracelet with polished centre links sweetening the deal. The dial is clean and minimalist, framed with a sharp minute track on the rehaut signifying its sporting intent. My favourite touch is the pared back register at 6 for the running seconds, making the dial take on the look of a Bi-Compax chronograph. The way the date window sits a smidgen over the 6 o’clock indice is pure genius, underlining the strong sense of balance. Two chrono registers sit recessed at 3 and 9, crisp silver white print underscoring a clean sixties vibe. Polished baton hands and a needle chronograph seconds have a purposeful elegance, matched by polished applied indices. The dial remains legible through the darker hours with generous application of Super-Luminova to the traditional baton hands, while the indices have discreet lume plots on the outside.
Reference CBN2011.BA0642 and CBN2012.FC6483 with their blue and grey sunray dials adds to the elegance quotient, the with a more eyecatching background to the Carrera name and exquisite TAG Heuer shield. Both references are still emanating a sporty vibe, the bright blue dial in some lights winking at us with a delicious hint of purple. Still tough on its purposeful slender bracelet, but with a touch of flash. The grey sunray version has the same price, and looks ready to pop out from a crisp white Italian shirt cuff. The grey sunburst brushed tone is quite a light tint with silver in the mix, lending a formal feel to the proceedings, with a well matched chocolate brown crocodile strap.
The Movement
All four TAG Heuer Carrera replica watches with Swiss automatic movement are powered by the same Heuer 02 caliber as their tougher brothers, which marks the year of the calibre’s expansion. Here, once again ready to prove its mettle as the go-to solid chronograph movement, with a column wheel and vertical clutch, and that weekend-safe 80 hour power reserve. The Heuer 02 calibre is the most important calibre for TAG Heuer in 2020, and with its flexibility, deservedly so, as it is the main reason why we can have the divine inspiration of the sixties Carrera with everyday solidity and reliability.
Off the back of a quieter 2019, TAG Heuer clone has quietly and smoothly accelerated as 2020 has gone on, proving the net worth of the Heuer Carrera as a chameleon-like classic inspiration. Why not open a small, exclusive Solo Carrera showroom in an exclusive New York or Paris arcade? The custom made light wood cabinets would be exclusively stocked with the Sport Chronograph references, these Elegant references, the Silver 160th and a few more, and would be a resounding success. Add a bright coloured cabinet with the exclusive Connected smartwatch, a pre-owned vintage Carrera corner, and I’d be there (consider the copyright mine).

Black Dial and Steel Bracelet, Meet New Versions of the TAG Heuer Monaco Heuer 02

No Comments

Since late 2019, the Monaco, the square icon of motorsport watchmaking by fake TAG Heuer, isn’t only one watch but a more complete collection based on two inspirations. First is the Calibre 11, a watch with strong 1970s and Steve McQueen inspiration, with an outsourced movement, the crown at 9 o’clock and a dial that recalls original models. Then there is the new Monaco Heuer 02, a more modern and classic take, which is powered by the brand’s calibre. The latter continues to expand with new dials and the addition of a stainless steel bracelet, for an even sportier attire.

For several years, the Monaco collection has been built around two models. First are the vintage Calibre 11 watches, inspired by the original 1133B with its blue dial, horizontal applied indexes and its crown at 9 o’clock, which also gave birth to the Gulf edition. Next to it was the Calibre 12, cheap replica TAG Heuer Monaco watches with a more modern, more classic style, thanks to its crown at 3 o’clock and radially positioned applied indexes. This model is now gone – with a final edition here – and was replaced in late 2019 by a highly updated watch: the new Monaco Heuer 02. Same style but a more powerful in-house engine.
First introduced with a blue dial (what other colour could it be?) and a leather strap, not much changed regarding the overall style of the Monaco. The case of black dial TAG Heuer CBL2113.BA0644 fake watches online wholesale retains its iconic shape, with the same 39mm x 39mm proportions. Surfaces alternate between brushed and polished finishings and the crown and chronograph pushers are all on the same side, meaning on the right. Other than a slight increase in height, all the elements have been kept, including the nice bevelled sapphire crystal on top and a very decent 100m water-resistance.
The dial and its display were the main evolutions on this Monaco Heuer 02. While the overall design is familiar, with the short radially applied hour markers, the circular seconds track and the square sub-counters, some updates can be appreciated. The silver contrasting sub-dials are now entirely dedicated to the chronograph – 12h and 30min counters – while a small seconds is discreetly positioned at 6 o’clock over the date window.

Inside the case and visible under a sapphire crystal is the brand’s in-house, integrated automatic chronograph movement with top-notch architecture, meaning a column wheel and vertical clutch. This modern engine runs at 4Hz and stores up to 80h of energy. Overall, a great improvement over the modular and outsourced Calibre 12.

New for autumn 2020, the blue dial version – which we covered in this video – is joined by a new sunray-brushed black dial version. This model retains the silver-coloured sub-counters and the red accents on the secondary hands.
Also, the brand adds a long-gone steel bracelet to the collection. Alternating brushed and polished surfaces, this particular example draws on the H-shaped bracelet that was used for Monaco watches in the early 1970s. TAG Heuer Monaco copy with steel case has a tapered shape and is closed by a butterfly clasp with double safety push-buttons.
