The Rolex Daytona, introduced in 1963, was initially not the coveted status symbol it is today. Its rise to iconic status began in the late 1980s with the introduction of a self-winding movement, paving the way for it to become one of the most sought-after sports watches of the 21st century.  

Today, the Cosmograph Daytona is one of the most diverse and coveted collections within Rolex’s lineup. It offers an array of materials, including 18k yellow, white, and Everose gold (Rolex’s proprietary rose gold), as well as stainless steel and platinum. Among these, the Rolex Daytona Rainbow stands out for its opulence and exclusivity – a true showcase of Rolex’s craftsmanship in watchmaking and gem-setting.

The Rolex Rainbow Daytona is a statement piece, featuring vibrant, multi-colored sapphires set around its bezel, embodying the full spectrum of a rainbow. Crafted in 18k gold, the 40mm case is both robust and elegant. Available dials in black or diamond pavé further enhance its luxurious appeal, showcasing crystal gold registers and hour markers made from baguette-cut sapphires or square-cut diamonds. These features not only elevate its visual allure but also highlight Rolex’s commitment to intricate craftsmanship.

Powered by the reliable Rolex Caliber 4130, the Rainbow Daytona ensures accurate timekeeping and smooth operation of its 12-hour chronograph function. The watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters and is paired with the iconic Oyster bracelet, which combines comfort with a secure fit. This blend of technical prowess and stunning design makes the Rainbow Daytona a masterpiece in horology.

Visually, the Rainbow Daytona models follow a similar pattern, though slight differences exist among the older yellow and white gold versions and the more recent Everose gold edition. The lugs and crown guards are adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds, which vary in size depending on their positioning.  

The bezels of the Rainbow Daytona are particularly special, featuring 36 meticulously selected multicolored gems. The gem-setting process demands exceptional skill, ensuring uniformity in size, shape, and quality, resulting in a seamless gradient of color.

While all three Rainbow Daytona references are produced in limited quantities, the Everose gold version features colored baguette and square-cut sapphires that mirror the shades of the adjacent stones on the bezel, showcasing an extraordinary level of detail.

At the heart of these replica watches is the in-house Caliber 4130 movement, a hallmark of reliability and precision in chronograph design. It significantly reduces the number of parts compared to its predecessor, enhancing both performance and power reserve, which now stands at 72 hours.

Rolex Daytona Rainbow Pricing
Upon their release, the Rainbow Daytona watches were among the most expensive models ever produced by Rolex. The Everose gold version retailed for around $97,500, while the yellow and white gold pieces were priced above $90,000. However, their value on the pre-owned market has surged dramatically.

Currently, securing any of the three Rainbow Daytona models often requires an investment of at least $400,000, with the diamond pavé dial Everose gold versions potentially costing double that amount. The rarity and allure of these watches contribute to their escalating prices, making them highly coveted among collectors.

Who Wears the Rainbow Daytona?
Celebrities are drawn to the Rolex Rainbow Daytona, with notable fans including musicians like Post Malone, John Mayer, and Adam Levine, as well as actors such as Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg. Sports stars like NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes and NBA player Anthony Davis have also been seen sporting these colorful watches.

One unique model is rumored to have been specially commissioned for legendary footballer Samuel Eto’o, featuring a white gold case and a full diamond pavé dial.

The Rolex Rainbow Daytona models are exceptional and visually stunning watches. They embody a playful side of Rolex, allowing the brand to showcase its artistic capabilities and the expertise of its jewelers. While they may not appeal to everyone, those who possess the confidence and resources to wear one will find it an unparalleled statement of luxury.

The Rolex GMT-Master II is an iconic timepiece with a rich history. Introduced in 1955, this watch was initially designed for professional use by pilots and frequent travelers. Its primary feature, the dual time zone function, quickly became a favorite among globetrotters, earning it the nickname “Pilot’s Watch.” Over the decades, it has evolved to become a symbol of luxury, style, and adventure.
Yellow gold, once considered the epitome of luxury, fell out of favor in recent years as watch enthusiasts gravitated toward stainless steel and white gold options. However, fashion is cyclical, and it’s clear that yellow gold is making a triumphant return. 
Rolex’s decision to reintroduce the GMT-Master II in yellow gold is a testament to the enduring appeal of this precious metal. The warm, lustrous hue of the replica watch is accentuated by Rolex’s masterful use of high-quality materials. The bezel, in particular, is a stunning showcase of Rolex’s craftsmanship. It is made from Cerachrom, a proprietary material that is both scratch-resistant and beautifully resilient. The striking black and gold combination creates a harmonious contrast that is sure to catch the eye.
The GMT-Master II in yellow gold also features the practical and iconic dual time zone function that allows the wearer to track multiple time zones simultaneously, making it the perfect companion for global travelers.
The reintroduction of yellow gold into the GMT-Master II collection is more than just a fashion statement; it’s a testament to the enduring appeal of classic materials and designs. It’s a reminder that while trends come and go, timeless elegance and quality craftsmanship are always in style. Whether you’re an avid watch collector or simply appreciate a beautiful timepiece, the GMT-Master II in yellow gold is worth considering for your collection. With its classic look and the innovative technology replica Rolex is known for, this watch truly stands the test of time. Yellow gold is back in a big way, and it’s here to stay.

Some collections start very organically, while others begin with the intention of accumulating value. I’m not going to bore you here with facts like “stick to good form” or “focus on value”. While perfectly true, both can be subjective factors for buyers and the market. Furthermore, these are relatively minor factors to consider when you should be thinking about the big picture. With these tips below, you should be able to start a killer collection and help yourself succeed with good buying habits.  
You probably know why you want to start a collection. But it’s also crucial to have an idea of where you want to take this passion. If you already have a certain model that you want to collect, or a certain theme that you want to stick with, then set some goals. It’s best to have goals, but don’t get too ambitious when you start collecting replica watches. Collectors build their collections, they don’t accumulate them blindly. Set yourself a reasonable budget that you can afford and don’t let yourself go over that budget.
You’ll have lots of time to shop the market and upgrade your collection. For now, just focus on collecting solid pieces that are in good condition. Ideally, they should be able to hold their value and even appreciate over time; however, the most important thing is that they are watches that you enjoy wearing.
Watches are not the kind of collectible you can hang on your wall and show off at a dinner party. Well, you can show them off at dinner parties, but you should do so while wearing them on your wrist. Watches are meant to be worn, loved, and incorporated into our lives. So when you start your collection, don’t just think about what will add the most value, think about what watch will make you want to wear it over and over again. This means you should also be realistic and consider fake watches that really fit your lifestyle. If you have to look gorgeous in the office, rough tool watches probably won’t be worn very often – even if they’re absolutely brilliant timepieces.
Now that you know your budget and have an idea of where you want to start your collection, now comes the fun part – shopping around. Don’t be in too much of a hurry to make your first purchase. Start researching what’s on the market to see where the value is and see what you can get for your money.
One of the biggest mistakes novice collectors make is not upgrading their collection. Especially if you are on a budget, you may need to sell your old watch to free up cash for a new piece. If there’s a watch you don’t wear much anymore – or if its value has really gone up – now might be a good time to sell it and continue building your collection. Remember, your watch collection is a living, breathing, evolving thing. Building it should be a fun journey. And, if the watch you sold goes to someone else who is just starting out, so much the better.

Often considered one of the most valuable brands in the entire Swiss-made watch industry, Oris is consistently priced above its price point. Founded in 1904 and based in the Swiss town of Hölstein, Oris is an independent manufacturer that is not part of any large watch-making group. Today Oris only makes fake Rolex watches powered by mechanical movements and the brand is increasingly becoming a favorite among many collectors.
All Oris watches fall into one of four categories, with Oris’ two dive watch collections, the Divers Sixty-Five and Aquis, being the most popular. The Divers Sixty-Five collection consists of vintage-style models that draw heavily on design elements from Oris’ past, while the Aquis collection offers a completely modern design that unique to Oris, the Aquis models offer a higher depth rating than their vintage-inspired siblings.
The Oris Aquis is the brand’s best-selling collection, covering a wide range of models with different case sizes, materials, colors, and complications. Despite the amazing diversity found in the collection, all Oris Aquis replica watches combine for their bold and modern design language, offering a depth rating of 300 meters even on the least water-resistant models in the current collection. While the Oris Aquis has all the features of a professional dive watch, its versatile style and robust construction make it an excellent everyday Rolex replica watch that is perfectly at home both above and below the surface of the sea.
The case size of the Oris Aquis ranges from a compact 36.5 mm all the way up to 49.5 mm and the configurations available include a simple time and date model, a pointer date reference, a chronograph, GMT, day and date, and even a professional version with a built-in mechanical depth gauge. With a budget of between $1k and $2k, you can get all but the most exclusive Oris Aquis models, and with a wide range of sizes and styles to choose from, you can choose something that perfectly matches your recent graduate’s unique style, their aesthetic preferences, and what they plan to do in the next chapter of their life.  

In a long list of turn-offs for discerning watch lovers, two-tone metal watches are right up there with the 4:30 date window and lots of dial text. But if a lot of people didn’t like two-tone watches, brands wouldn’t make two-tone fake watches. And I’m one of those people. In my opinion, it’s actually quite stylish. In fact, since 50% of your watch is made of gold, there’s no benefit in terms of function, style is the point.
However, in the case of two-tone, in many cases, it is. That’s because this alluring blend of stainless steel and gold saw its heyday in the 1980s when many current grandfathers were at the height of their watch buying power. Not everyone wanted or was ready to buy an all-gold watch. In fact, it is well known that gold watches symbolize retirement and the end of something. That means you’re in it, baby – and you’re just getting started.
We’ve already covered Tom Selleck and the Magnum P.I. on the site this week, but it’s worth noting that while the Magnum was defined by the Rolex GMT-Master 16750, Selleck’s personal watch at the time was the two-tone Rolex Datejust. In American Psycho, Wall Street banker and serial killer Patrick Bateman wears a two-tone Rolex Datejust watch with a rarely seen linen dial.
Even without that film, the Datejust would have been the most iconic two-tone watch of all time. Unlike other watches, which are defined by being two-tone models, the Datejust is a two-tone model with a two-tone Jubilee bracelet, and while not an invention of the 1980s, it is a watch that defined the decade. In addition to being an empirically good-looking timepiece, it represents the best value in vintage replica watches today. Dare I say that it is the most under-appreciated watch available? I dare say it. I’m saying yes.
But it’s hardly the only two-tone classic. Take another example, the Cartier Santos, with its gold bezel and two-tone Santos bracelet. The angular case shape combined with the 70s design language of the iconic bracelet, all strung together in stainless steel and gold.
Two-tone has also permeated some of the iconic steel sports watches and given them a new lease of life. Many collectors consider these watches to be the exception to the no two-tone rule. I’m referring to the two-tone Submariner with its blue bezel and blue dial, and the famous Rolex GMT-Master Root Beer. While I’m not bashing the stainless steel Submariner or GMT-Master, each two-tone example is a fantastic alternative.

To celebrate the completion of the new PP6 production building in Plan-Les-Ouates (Geneva), Patek Philippe has created a limited edition Calatrava stainless steel (6007A-001). Patek Philippe usually releases commemorative replica watches in limited editions to coincide with important events. Two examples are the popular Ref. 5500 Pagoda (2,000 pieces) and the Ref. 5029 Minute Repeater (30 pieces) that were both presented in 1997 to stress the official inauguration of the new manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates.
In 1996, Patek Philippe had announced the inauguration of a new manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates. After that, the company was the first brand to establish a presence in this Genevan suburb community that was later referred to as “Plan-les-Watches”.
The objective at the time was to reunite under one roof the individual business activities that were previously distributed across over a dozen sites throughout the city and to thus secure the independence of the company in the long term. Even though the new building was generously sized, it soon proved to be too small to cope with the manufacture’s growth.
PP6 started with a small groundbreaking ceremony in October 2015. Five years later, the manufacture’s new production center now stands on a plot once occupied by the company’s parking lot. 
The total investment was CHF 700 million, CHF 500 million for the structure and CHF 100 million for interiors as well as the avant-garde technical resources. The new Patek Philippe building complies with the “Haute Performance Energétique (HPE)” standards pursuant to the energy laws of the canton of Geneva. The building stands out with perfect dimensions: 189 meters long, 67 meters wide, 34 meters above ground, with 10 floors, of which four subterranean

Seiko’s Astron is a rather amazing piece of kit. Apparently, it tells the time, day, date and a second time zone. But the key point is in the method. The Astron, because of GPS technology, keeps track of time by talking to satellites – a really cool party method.
It makes sense that the Astron is billed as an adventure watch for the travelling set by giving its go-anywhere accuracy and automatic time zone adjustment,. And never has that been more apparent than with this watch. Don’t mind the ‘Solar Executive Sports Series’ name, these replica watches are the most rough and tumble Astron yet.
The wonderful versatility of the solar 8X53 is matched by the super-hard titanium case (with rose gold tone in this case) and ceramic bezel. The rich, golden brown ceramic bezel, by the way, is inserted with UTC times on the top and IATA codes on the side, all of which, in a neat trick, have some impressive luminous powers. The face of the case is more straightforward, too, a more rugged sporty look that downplays the still hefty 46.7mm diameter and 14.5mm height. Best of all, though, the Sports Executive Series boasts a solid 20 bar of water resistance, making it more than a match for the hotel pool. The sporty look is finished by the blocky black crown guards. 
There are some choices in this new, curvaceous and water-friendly Astron line-up, such as straight up-and-down black dial, as well as a very pretty blue option. For me though, I’m quite taken by the high contrast, high bling SSE170J1. It’s not a subtle color scheme, but, then again, with its big build and complicated face, the Astron was never really an under-the proposition, so why not own this replica model?

Most of us may know that Rolex created the GMT-Master typically for commercial airline pilots to keep track of two time zones simultaneously. It was truly a tool watch that served a practical purpose. The fake Rolex GMT-Master “Pepsi” has been around for a long time. As a matter of fact, the very first GMT-Master made its debut in 1955.
Six decades later, the appeal of the GMT-Master (and subsequent GMT-Master II) watches have gone well beyond the pilot community. Apart from the regular replica Rolex fans around the world, the GMT-Master Pepsi is a favorite of high profile celebrities too. Join us as we play a game of celeb watch spotting!
The “Pepsi” nickname refers to the iconic blue and red bezel available on the GMT-Master and GMT-Master II watches. Blue and red were the colors of the inaugural GMT-Master with huge numbers of the watches made after that. Not only did the two colors look great, but also they have a practical application as well. The red area on the bezel stands for daylight hours and blue is for night hours.
However, there have been several other GMT-Master bezel color options including black and red, bronze and brown, and solo black, the blue and red Pepsi is still the best choice. The only GMT-Master II Pepsi model currently available in the Rolex catalog is the 18k white gold GMT-Master II BLRO. The white gold makes that particular model out of reach for many. However, luckily, there is still plenty of discontinued and vintage stainless steel GMT-Master Pepsi watches for selection.
Another proud owner of the vintage stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master with a Pepsi bezel is professional baseball player, Howard Kendrick. The left fielder for the Philadelphia Phillies is a well-documented watch geek as illustrated by his beautifully curated collection pictured on his Instagram feed.
Speaking of ultra-precious, Sylvester Stallone’s Rolex Pepsi is the GMT-Master II watch. The Sly is Rolex sports a jeweled one rather than an acrylic bezel or even a Cerahcrom ceramic bezel. The 18k white gold GMT-Master II boasts diamonds, sapphires, and rubies on the bezel that come together in the famous blue, red, and white combo.
The fake Rolex GMT-Master Pepsi is an on-screen star, and it has being a watch that celebs like to have in their personal collection as well. For instance, James Spader’s character, Raymond “Red” Reddington wears one on a Jubilee bracelet in NBC’s show Blacklist.
Besides, in the 2014 movie, Gone Girl, Nick Dunne, played by Ben Affleck, is seen with a GMT-Master II Pepsi on his wrist. There’s also Keanu Reeves in Street Kings, Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man, Mel Gibson in Air America and so on.
As demonstrated by its global popularity, the fake Rolex GMT-Master with the Pepsi bezel is an icon in its own right. With over 60 years of history behind it, this Rolex sports watch will keep on being one of the brands’ most sought after models for a long time. The only thing that’ll make the Rolex Pepsi’s story even better would be a new steel version to join the white gold one! Now wouldn’t that be something?
