We always hear “Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Double Red, Gilt, tropical, bake-lite, floating cosmograph, floating Daytona, open four, closed four, creamy lume, tritium, mark I thru V, faded insert” in the world of the replica Rolex world- the list goes on with many different nuances offering varying collections. These timepieces are highly desired and sought after with the vintage dealers all chasing down the same replica watches from the increasingly vintage-savvy public. But what’s next? Which fake Rolex model would be recommended to someone expecting to enter the collector market other than the Red Submariner? I have been purchasing the modern pieces, but in fact, any non four-digit sport model, and I have seen the market dramatically rise on some other models that the entry level collector – or perhaps the elusive person looking for an investment piece – may be interested in.
The fake Rolex GMT watch comes without any surprises at all. They are a discontinued model that is not currently considered vintage but collectible nonetheless. As they become scarce in the market and wonderful examples become difficult to find, we have noticed the demand for the watch and the price for it soar. On top of that, if the insert on this model is a “Pepsi” or “Coke,” and/or faded, and come with the original box and papers, the market adds a premium. Even with a new insert, this GMT is a hot item. We have a tough time keeping this model available.
The shocker of this list, perhaps, would be the inclusion of the all gold Date. Whether it would be some models, 14k or 18k gold, they all fly out of the office. These models would sit on our site, but this year they are finding their place in the vintage market and showing increased sales at auction houses as well. The rivet bracelet or a model with box and papers, offers an even higher increase. In my opinion, the price-point for this all gold replica Rolex, vintage-casual look and the 34mm case size is what makes this watch a special buy. I wear a 1505 rivet w/ blue diamond dial and could have sold it off my wrist more than I can recall.
