Now we are enjoying the summer and I am wondering if you know what that means: new summer swag. We have an amazing lineup of hot-weather-friendly watches for you this week including a ton of steel dive replica watches and many other yellow gold numbers for those hot summer nights.
There is a Rolex replica which is one of the most sought-after vintage Rolex Submariners. With its perfect proportions and dateless dial, this watch is the ultimate dive watch. The example we have here dates to 1977 and features a “Pre-Comex” dial, which you can identify by the distinctive Coronet crown and those oversized tritium lume plots. We prefer this one for its creme brulee patina and its rough-and-tough look. What’s more perfect than a dive watch for summer?
The vintage Rolex Daytona seems ubiquitous in auction catalogs these days, but finding a nice yellow gold one always proves a challenge. Among all, this replica watch is one of the most actively pursued, especially with a black dial. Obviously, the appeal is easy to obtain, and the black bezel and back dial contrasting nicely with the yellow gold case. And the screw-down pushers give even more presence to the 37mm case, in addition to the increased water resistance (although we really don’t recommend exposing any vintage Daytona to water nowadays).
The example here shows a sigma dial, with the small symbols placed at the bottom of the dial around the “T-Swiss-T” line. This denomination is consistent with the 1977 production date implied by the serial number engraved on the case. The tritium lume on the handset has taken on a nice patina, but you won’t fail to notice a couple of missing lume plots on the dial. The most important is, this fake Rolex Submariner kept its original pushers and its case was not excessively polished, as evidenced by the curves of the lugs. And the yellow gold rivet bracelet is just the sweet finishing touch, especially since its links keep tightly attached (loose stretch being common on those vintage bracelets).
