Replica Rolex Day Date Prices

 These phrases are used in Rolex advertisements and portray Rolex watches as timepieces that have a history and tell a story. Introduced in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date replica was the first watch to display the day and date on its dial. One of the reasons why Rolex watches are so easily recognized is because many important people throughout history have worn Rolex watches, placing the watch in front of millions of people. Some of the most important and influential people in history have worn Rolex watches. In the past, Rolex gifted many presidents and world leaders with Rolex watches, ensuring that these watches would be associated with prestige, success, and power.

In 1947, Rolex gifted its 100,000th Rolex watch to former United Kingdom Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. Rolex created its 150,000th Rolex watch in 1951 and decided to gift it to five-star general Dwight D. Eisenhower, who would later become the President of the United States. Both of these watches were very similar in appearance: 18kt yellow gold watch with the gold dial displaying the day and date and an 18kt yellow gold bracelet.

Today, many people refer to the Rolex Day-Date as the Rolex President. But to what does the term Rolex President actually refer? And who started this phrase? Many watch enthusiasts refer to the bracelet on the Rolex Day-Date as a “President bracelet,” while others refer to the Rolex Day-Date as a “Rolex President.” Jake from Jake’s Rolex world uncovered a Rolex ad from 1966 that referred to the Rolex Day-Date as “The president’s watch.” During this time, the President of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson, was never seen without his 18kt yellow gold Rolex Day-Date on his wrist. In a Rolex ad in 1984, we see where Rolex, for the first time, refers to the Rolex Day-Date as the Rolex President with this phrase: “The Rolex President Day-Date Chronometer. Available in 18kt. Gold, with matching bracelet.” This ad proves that Rolex coined the term “Rolex President.” While they no longer refer to the watch as the President, the term “Rolex President” is still widely used in the watch enthusiast community.

Replica tudor heritage black bay 79230n

 The latest Tudor watch is a welcomed presence. The easy-going character with a pleasant look and a powerful combination between the chronometer certified movement and diver capabilities makes and interesting proposition.

The Tudor Black Bay Chrono has a classically shaped 41mm diameter steel case. The finishes are the usual for Tudor: a combination of polished and brushed finishes. The face of the lugs and bezel is circular brushed in such a fine way that it has almost a frost, satin finish. The chamfering of the bezel’s side, of the case’s side and of the lugs is highly polished. The tachymeter scale is engraved and has indexes and numerals filled with black paint. The bezel’s readability is very good, the font used is delicate, but due to the strong contrast, a good visibility is achieved.

The screwed-in case back has a pleasant combination of circular and diagonal brush in the same fine granulation as the watch’s face. The cover is twice engraved “Tudor Genève” and “Calibre Manufacture” to remind us of the brand’s origin and the movement. Another detail visible on the back is the serial number engraved on the upper right-side lug.

The crown is beautifully decorated with a filled black ink rose motif. The chrono-pushers are inspired by the first generation of Tudor Chronos from the ‘70s. The crown and the chrono-pushers are screwed down offering a 200m water resistance.
On top, the watch is covered with a curved sapphire crystal. This contributes to the vintage look.

The black frosted dial of the Black Bay is surprisingly balanced. The decoration is done using big, bold round applied indexes filled with luminescent. For 12 o’clock a triangle-shaped index is used. At 3, 6 and 9 o’clock the indexes are missing, leaving the place for the other elements of the dial. The sub-dials are neatly lowered, helping the viewer to focus effortlessly. The 45 minutes chrono counter is a Tudor signature and is a welcomed detail, being a change from the classical 30 minutes counter.

The date, black on white, can be considered inappropriate for a black dial, but in this situation, the date window is balancing the dial. To the dial’s harmony also participate the white printed name, logo and chronometer certification. A diver’s classic is the water resistance written using red paint.

The famous snowflake hands are perhaps a bit oversized. This offers an excellent readability, especially at night. At the same time, the big hands are covering too much of the sub-dials, resulting in poor visibility of the chronograph minute counter when the chronograph is used from 2 o’clock to 4 o’clock. The central seconds’ hand, shaped as a slender arrow, reaches comfortably the printed seconds’ scale.
The collaboration between Tudor and Breitling is interesting, and we consider it to be a win-win deal. Both companies have an arrangement to use each other’s movements. The Manufacture Tudor calibre MT5813 is based on the 2009 released Breitling B01. And Breitling uses one of Tudor’s automatic movements in their watches.

The B01 was a result of Breitling’s investment in the development of a new chronograph in 2004, when they feared that the supply of ETA Ebauche movements would disappear. Although this fear never materialised, they benefited with their own in-house chronograph.

The MT583 is an automatic movement with date and 45 minutes chronograph counter which is the brand’s signature. This small detail makes Tudor stand out.

Otherwise, the calibre is a usual column wheel / vertical clutch modern chronograph and a silicon balance spring. The use of a classical column wheel is a plus for the feel and precision of the start, stop and reset system. The movement also features a vertical clutch, which is more robust than the traditional horizontal clutch.

And of course, the use of silicon in the hairspring gives the movement immunity to temperature variations and, as another advantage, the immunity to magnetism. These two properties are very important in a modern chronograph. The silicon spring is mounted on Tudor’s proprietary four adjustable masses moment of inertia balance wheel. An interesting side note is the involvement of Tudor as the client for the movement results in Breitling having access to silicon technology, which is currently limited to only Rolex, Ulysse Nardin, Patek Philippe, and The Swatch Group.

The wheel is visually beautiful and even though it is not decorated in haute horlogerie style. It is a shame that it cannot be seen through the case-back. The balance beats at 28,800vph or 4Hz, offering a good 70 hours of power reserve.
The finishes are industrial but pleasant. Clearly the finish is not intended to be admired, but we think totally appropriate for the price point. The main plate and the bridges have a frosted, sandblasted finish. The ball bearing rotor is brushed and decorated with the Tudor name.

For some reason tudor heritage black bay 79230n calls the MT5813 an “in-house” movement, even though the caliber is based on the Breitling B01 with some modifications and manufactured for Tudor by Breitling. Final decoration is done by Tudor, and in a different way as Breitling does it. And it is equipped with a Tudor proprietary balance wheel. Why did Tudor have to outsource the movement? Perhaps Tudor did not want to use the Rolex C.4130 as it fears canibalising its own Daytona sales. But we can only speculate. And the collaboration with Breitling seems to be a nice one, in our view. And does not take away one bit from the authenticity and identity of either brand.
If we take into consideration the cooperation between Tudor and Breitling, the first competition of today’s chronograph is the Breitling Chronomat 44, which shares the B01 calibre. This watch has a bolder, masculine look. Contributing to this is the 44mm diameter steel case and the unidirectional, diver ratcheted bezel with big Roman numerals. The Breitling B01 movement is a chronograph with 1/4th second, 30 minutes, 12 hours measurement. The Chronomat 44 comes in various combinations of case materials and bezels with leather, Diver Pro, Military, Ocean Racer, Crocodile rubber or Pilot straps. The watch has 500m water resistance for the steel case version and 100m for the gold case model. You have the chance to choose the combination of watch materials online, for a price starting from approximatively S$11,200.
A well-known and loved chronograph is the Omega Speedmaster. This year, to celebrate the 60th anniversary, Omega released at Baselworld a limited edition. The new watch is intended to be as close as possible to the original model. Using three-dimensional scanning, Omega managed to bring to life a watch with the specifications of the original 1957 ref. CK2915-1. At 38,6mm, the Speedmaster has the perfect size and feel of a vintage watch. Powering this beauty is the Omega 1861 calibre. The movement is based on the Lemania 1873, has 48 hours of power reserve and 6atm water resistance. We reviewed the Omega Speedmaster 60th Anniversary Limited Edition as part of the Omega “Masters” trilogy. The price of the Omega 3557 limited edition model is CHF6,700 or S$10,050 (incl. leather and NATO strap) and it comes in a period authentic box set.
Another chronograph with a great heritage is the new Zenith Defy El Primero 21. This watch is a major step into the modern era. The watch is capable of displaying 1/100th of a second by the central hand. This is possible with a separate escapement running at 50 Hz (360,000 vph). The new Defy 21 comes in three 44mm case variants in titanium, open dial titanium and black ceramic-treated aluminium. The Defy El Primero is keenly priced at S$15,100 for the titanium case and solid dial version, S$16,600 for the open dial titanium case and S$18,000 for the black ceramic-treated aluminium case, also with open worked dial.
We are delighted with the new chronograph from Tudor. One of the reasons is the beauty. It is a sincere appearance, as elegant as a chrono can be. At its size, the Black Bay Chrono will fit any wrist and it will feel as it really does belong there. The second reason is the movement used. The Breitling have had enough time to prove itself since its 2009 release and is a robust movement well suited for the tudor heritage black bay 79230n. Another reason is the price. For a column wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch and “in-house” stamp, this watch could be more expensive. We appreciate Tudor’s honesty in revealing the movement’s source and keeping the low price.

And finally, the marketing coup of the year – signing David Beckham in the Tudor “Born To Dare” campaign, and having him personally pick the Black Bay Chronograph as one of his choices.

A. Lange Sohne Kleine Lange 1 Moonphase

 There’s something inherently poetic about the moon-phase complication, but this latest Little A Lange Sohne Lange 1 Moon Phase takes that idea to a whole other level. This latest iteration of Lange’s small-but-mighty classic is all about the new dial treatment, which is a dark blue “gold flux” material that sparkles like the night sky.

It’s a very similar material to what most brands call “aventurine” or “aventurine glass,” with tiny particles suspended in a glassy medium, giving it a ton of visual depth and a bit of shine. To continue the astronomical theme, the hour markers are tiny white gold stars (between the classic Roman numerals at 12-3-6-9), and the moon-phase disc has an applied white gold moon and 628 additional stars.

If all of that sparkle isn’t enough for you, there’s a version of this watch with 56 brilliant-cut diamonds adorning the bezel (1.2 total carats) for a little extra oomph. You might not need it, but it certainly doesn’t hurt.

Technically speaking, this Little A Lange Sohne Lange 1 Moon Phase is identical to its cousins from the last few years. The 36.8mm case is a fantastic size for many different wrists (both male and female, I might add) and the caliber L121.2 is one of the new-generation Lange calibers, so you’re getting great tech inside too. There’s a lot of complexity packed into this relatively small watch, and it’s one we’re really looking forward to seeing in the metal very soon.
At first glance, this watch might seem like Lange just throwing a new dial on an existing watch, but there’s a lot more to it than that. This watch is the culmination of a few different ideas that’ve been simmering at Lange for years, and it’s actually a great microcosm of what the brand has been doing with its so-called “small complications” over the past half-decade or so.

First off, there’s the movement. The caliber L121.2 is based on the L121.1, which replaced the L901.0 as the “standard” Lange 1 caliber in 2015. On top of that, it has Lange’s new moon-phase complication, which is accurate for up to 122.6 years without needing any adjustments (assuming you survive that long and keep your watch wound).
Then there’s the gold flux dial. We’ve seen this used on simple watches in both blue and black so far, but this is the most expressive implementation yet. This gold flux / aventurine / whatever-you-want-to-call-it material has become trendy, especially among more design-minded watchmakers (Van Cleef have been the masters at this for some time), but it’s nice to see Lange implement it in a way that goes beyond it simply being pretty.

The result of this confluence is a watch that’s much greater than the sum of its parts. But the parts aren’t too shabby.

If you’ve spent as long in and around the luxury watch industry as I have, you’ll know the feeling I’m about to describe: sometimes, you love a brand for all the right reasons and adore its products because each and every one has a distinct character, a story to tell, or a level of craftsmanship that blows your mind without seemingly having to try, and yet somewhere, in the back of your mind, you feel like there might be more to come. Often, in ways we cannot predict, brands are still able to surprise us. And, in doing so, show us a vision of something yet more majestic that could be just around the corner. The A. Lange & Söhne Little Lange 1 Moon Phase first bewitched me, before sending me on a journey…

If there is one complication I feel A. Lange & Söhne Kleine Lange 1 Moonphase pulls off better than any other brand, it is the moonphase complication. That isn’t to say the Lange moonphase is the most accurate, most creative, or most integral part of the watch’s design, but I am suggesting that when it comes to a mixture of dial balance and aesthetic execution of the complication itself, there is no better brand. Here we see the moonphase complication take center stage, with the kind of starry, starry night that would make Don McLean proud spilling out all over the dial. Instead of the sleek, subtle dials we’re used to seeing Lange’s moonphase windows enliven, we have a dark blue gold flux background sprinkled with copper particles. The effect is dazzling and the legibility, thanks to rhodiumed Roman markers and hands, is satisfyingly strong.
The theme is continued on the white gold lunar disc, which is decorated with 628 stars of its own. If that dial-side sparkle wasn’t enough for you, you have the option of teaming this Little A. Lange & Söhne Kleine Lange 1 Moonphase with a diamond-decked bezel. If you go for that option, your 36.8mm wide white gold case will be topped by 56 brilliant-cut diamonds.
These kinds of aesthetic “specs” normally accompany watches with very little of interest going on behind the dial. Nothing could be further from the truth here. This watch uses the in-house L121.2 caliber, which will record an accurate moonphase for 122.6 years if allowed to run continuously. Assuming that you occasionally allow the 72-hour power reserve to run down, however, a quick adjustment of the moonphase indicator can be performed using the corrector between 7 and 8. The same is true for the big date complication, which can be advanced using the recessed pusher between 10 and 11 o’clock also.
Here’s a tiny thing that may have escaped your attention: the stars in between the time dial’s cardinal points are in two sizes. The markers for 1, 4, 7, and 10 o’clock are small stars. Conversely, the markers for 2, 5, 8, and 11 o’clock are bigger. The Roman Numerals that mark 12, 3, 6, and 9 are even bigger than the big stars. What this does to our eyes is pull them in a clockwise direction around the time dial. While it may seem jarring at first to use three sizes of hour marker arranged in this fashion, it is a clever way to add a bit of vitality to the time dial, which itself does not benefit from a going seconds hand (that overlays the moon disc). A small thing, perhaps, but it is the kind of design element worth noting and discussing. Let us know how you feel about it in the comments below!
Picking up where my first paragraph left off, I have been on a journey with this watch. In many ways, this is one of my favorite releases from A. Lange & Söhne for a while, but it instantly gave birth to an idea I would like to see put into practice. My favorite complication Lange currently produces is the day/night indicator used in conjunction with the moonphase complication. This has been forsaken here in favor of a totally consistent blue tone. While I appreciate the crisp cleanliness of the result, I’d like to see that day/night indicator alongside this starry display.
Additionally, I would like to see the above modification packaged in one of A. Lange & Söhne’s honey gold cases. I think the rare, warm tones of honey gold would look absolutely divine next to this dark blue gold flux dial (with honey gold hands, date window frame, markers, and moons to boot). For me, fusing this new dial with those existing Lange specialties would result in a watch too beautiful for words.
