You may wondering, this was originally going to be one of those ‘Presidents Watches’ articles, it’s undisputed. But then we’ve done some researching and browsing through hundred thousands of pictures with Barack Obama and his… well, disgusting Jorg Gray, also with many other European and American leaders and their very poor and conservative choice of wrist-wear. So we determined to abandon that idea since we didn’t want to bore you to death. And just as we thought ‘this is it…’ the Russians came by and saved the day!
We have to say that we are totally surprised when we saw Putin and his Patek or Blancpain. We’ve all heard the rumors about how much money he makes and how many gifts he actually gets.
Putin gives away his Blancpain to a Russian worker
However we didn’t expect government officials under president Putin to be wearing watches twice or even four times more expensive than ones he’s usually seen in.

Sergey Lavrov – Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Lavrov has been the second most popular man after Putin in Russia for the past couple of years. No surprise he went for the same brand as the President. He would think it is a Safe and diplomatic choice.
Dmitry Peskov – Press Secretary for Vladimir Putin
While we’ve shown a few gents from Russia with nice fake watches, Mr. Peskov really takes the cake. Not only does he have the guts to wear a Richard Mille RM52 to his wedding that millions of people will see, but he’s also gardening in his RM035. Rafa Nadal would be proud and excited.
Dmitry Medvedev – The Hipster (aka Prime Minister)
We love Medvedev. He’s both educated in mechanical wristwear and technically advanced. He’s the only man on Earth we’ve seen rocking a Jaquet Droz, an HD3 Slyde and a G-Shock!
Anton Siluanov – Minister of Finance
Now most of the ministers and officials would prefer to wear suits to work in Russia. And they do a good job of choosing appropriate wristwear to go along. Minister of Finance watch of choice is the Breguet Classique Power Reserve, priced at around $35’000
Ramzan Kadyrov
President of the Chechen Rupublic is the winner of our ‘Sickest Watch Alert!’ as well award in this post. The man casually matches his Greubel Forsey blue dial to the shirt. That Franck Muller tourbillon isn’t too shabby either!
The New Age of Replica Rolex Watches-The Rise of a Watchmaking Star
When it comes to the topic of the rolex watch, we are confident to say that you’re familiar with the brand. Rolex has been around, pretty much forever which has a nice watchmaking firm with a very long and meaningful history. What’s more, in the past few years, they have probably been the most crucial for Rolex so far. I was really bummed to see incredible pieces like the equation of time Academy Christophe Colomb disregarded by the customer 3 or 4 years ago. It’s a shame when there’s a crappy product on the market and it focused many attentions, but it’s even much bitter when there’s a really nice product that gets far less recognition than it deserves. Rolex was just one of those undervalued brands, and it feels really exciting to share the views with you here, as the watchmaking star is back to being on top of the game again.
Not only have they released quite a few luxurious pieces, but they’ve also shown their true colors. The fake Rolex now proves not to be one of the generic traditional brands many people thought it was, but rather a really good blend of class and urban, where the best is taken from both worlds. Here’s why…
To begin with, we should consider of the changes in the replica watches themselves. Looking back a few years there were quite some complicated pieces which attracted many people. However they only appealed to people who like all traditional stuffs. If I’m 25 year old, wearing street-wear, but it would honestly be difficult to pull off a Chain Fusee in its traditional casing, even when I like the dial and movement behind it. Well, that’s no longer an issue as what we saw this year is Rolex listening to the customers and coming up with some totally kickass dial/case/material combos we’ve never seen them make before.
Then it’s the brand image. It’s essential and necessary to consider a brand with a certain lifestyle, certain hobbies. It is just the same way that many brands go for Tennis, Golf, Football, or Basketball. However, the above all seems a bit overused today. The fake Rolex, thinking far outside the box decides to make some really contrasting partnerships which ended up working really well. We can take you back to Baselworld 2016, when Rolex became the first (and only) replica watch brand to partner up with Uber and provides rides in classic vintage Bentleys and Jaguars.
It was the only brand to have a pop up barbershop in the booth as well. Needless to say it was fully booked within a day. And to top it off they’ve organized a biker get together right next to Hall 1.
