Times are tough. Even though Rolex prices keep falling, it’s best not to roll out of your home with your Rollie these days if you’re a Manhattan resident. According to the NYPD, a dangerous thief is wanted in connection to three AAA best Rolex replica watches robberies.
The thefts aren’t just hold ups, police say. The suspect is said to put victims in chokeholds until they pass out and then makes off with their UK cheap Rolex fake watches. On Sunday July 14, in the wee hours of the morning around 2:40 a.m., a 27-year-old sporting $14,000 Rolex copy watches for sale was targeted on 42 Morton Street in the West Village. The thief followed suit on Friday, August 9 around 1:00 a.m., when he stole another $14,000 Rolex off of a 26-year-old man riding the subway on the No. 1 train at the 14th Street train stop. The suspect’s perfect replica Rolex watches tear took off from his first reported theft, which was a $300 Orient watch stolen from a 29-year-old at 147 Christopher Street. Given the watch brand’s Rolex-influenced design, it’s possible the thief thought he was making away with another timepiece from the Crown.
The news follows other reports of Rollie thefts in the Big Apple from earlier this summer when outdoor diners were targeted for their wrist candy—also in the West Village—at restaurants like Carbone and Marlow & Sons. In those robberies, two suspects were working together and it wasn’t just high quality Rolex super clone watches UK they were after—they also made off with other coveted high-end brands like Audemars Piguet and, in one case, a $100,000 Patek Philippe stolen at gunpoint.
The moral of the story? Keep your Swiss movements fake Rolex watches at home for now, and definitely don’t wear it out for a night of partying on the mean streets of Manhattan…particularly, the West Village/Union Square neighborhoods, where the robberies appear to keep happening.
Back in April, the Swiss movements replica Rolex Deepsea 136668LB watches was one of the most talked about watches of Watches & Wonders. The Deepsea has always been Rolex’s biggest and boldest dive watch (until the 50mm wide Deepsea Challenge 126067 came along that is, but we’ll ignore that for now). It takes the iconic design codes of the Submariner and beefs it up to 3,900m of water resistance. So why all the buzz then? Well, because contrary to before, Rolex made it out of solid 18k yellow gold and essentially created a proper diving weight for the wrist! After some months to reflect, I thought it was time to try and wrap my head around this 320-gram behemoth of Rolex fake watches for sale.
There are 1:1 UK Rolex copy watches that immediately make sense when you see them, and there are watches that make no sense at all but you love them anyway. And then there’s the heads-nor-tails category of watches that can divide a room full of watch enthusiasts faster than the date position on a dial. Some love it, some hate it, and here I am, trying to find logic in it all. The perfect replica Rolex Deepsea 136668LB watches is that kind of a watch. Opinions were pretty much unanimous upon release, and judging the watch on paper, I felt the same. The question ‘But, why?’ was on everyone’s mind.
At 44mm wide the Deepsea is already a large watch. Add to that a height of 17.7mm and it starts to become gargantuan. Then to make it out of full yellow gold and have it tipping the scales at a monstrous 320 grams and wearing this becomes a genuine exercise! Next thing you know, you’ll have a disproportional left arm like Rafael Nadal! I am well aware of the fact you need some beef to dive to 3,900 meters of depth, at which point the hydrostatic pressure is close to 380atm (for reference, at sea level it’s 1atm). No man will survive that outside of a proper diving vessel like the Deepsea Challenger (hey, what’s in a name!). And in all honesty, 99% of all dive Rolex fake watches for sale will never see depths beyond, oh let’s say a swimming pool or a spontaneous snorkelling adventure in the ocean during summer holidays.
Rolex, and many other brands and people for that matter, will state there’s a definite need for a watch to be this big to withstand such pressures, and they’re somewhat right in that, of course. At first glance though, it sounds like something extremely big and heavy, and almost uncomfortable to wear. Three hundred and twenty grams is a lot of weight for a watch. To compare, an Oystersteel Rolex Submariner weighs around 160 grams, depending on the length of the bracelet. High quality Rolex Sea-Dweller replica watches of the same material weighs little more than that.
Then there’s the contradiction of a proper tool watch like the Deepsea is intended to be, and the luxurious allure of 18k yellow gold. That doesn’t make any sense, now does it? Well mostly no, but there’s an argument to be made about weight and the feeling of luxury. To me, there’s an undefined link between the two. Bigger Rolex super clone watches wholesale need to have some sort of weight to them in order to ‘work’ for me. I need to feel that I have something substantial on my wrist. That’s part of the reason I have only 1 titanium watch, and it’s not a tool watch. But steel does the trick perfectly fine, and I feel no need for the added weight of gold. So what’s left? Flexing on the boulevard of a Mediterranean hot spot, or on the high streets of the world’s leading cities? Sure, but you would run the risk of getting robbed or worse…
In all honesty, upon first handling the Swiss made Rolex copy watches it became apparent to me that it made no sense whatsoever. For all the reasons I explained above, it simply shouldn’t work. And yet, it does…. in a weird way. A couple of weeks ago I had a bit more time with it in comparison to the mad dash that’s Watches & Wonders. And trying it on, it started to grow on me. In hand, it does indeed feel very heavy and you can’t ignore the sheer size. But on the wrist, it becomes quite balanced, both in size and weight. Granted, it helps that I have above-average-sized wrists at 19cm in circumference, but they’re not mammoth-sized either. Then there’s the weight, which the bracelet helps to distribute quite evenly, much to my surprise. It’s not overly top-heavy, nor is it uncomfortable to the point you simply can’t wear it. Far from it in fact, the fit and finish of the gold case and bracelet, the titanium caseback, and the Glidelock extension system are typical Rolex. Or in other words; extremely good!
To end this with an answer to the question I started with, the luxury UK fake Rolex Deepsea 13668LB watches makes some sense, but not a whole lot. It’s a very good watch overall, as you would expect from the people at Rolex. It’s just a tad too much for most people, myself included. Despite the fact I was positively surprised when I had more than 2 minutes with it, it’s still a statement piece for the right, but also for a couple of wrong reasons. No serious diver will take this down on a dive as a backup instrument to his diving computer. Vice versa, I expect no one who buys this to need that 3,900m water resistance in their life, ever. So in the very end, what’s left is the simple fact it’s just something to flex. A very big and very heavy yellow-gold flex…
Rolex has always been known for their tool watches, whether for divers, explorers, or racing drivers, but there was another tool watch in the lineup – the Swiss made Rolex Milgauss replica watches.
Known for being the scientist’s watch, with non-magnetic properties up to 1,000 gauss which is where the name derives from, it was designed for those working in power plants, laboratories, and the medical field.
Given the slightly more niche nature of the Milgauss, it was never a hugely popular model and was ultimately discontinued in 1988. However, Rolex surprised the watch world at Baselworld, in 2007, with a modern interpretation.
Unfortunately, Rolex decided to discontinue the Milgauss collection early 2023.
The modern Milgauss, despite being one of the longest-standing current offerings by Rolex (we are now well over a decade since last release!), remains one of high quality fake Rolex’s more under-appreciated watches.
Having owned a black dial 116400GV since 2016, I am here to tell you why it might be time to start thinking otherwise.
Top Reasons for Being Underrated
The green glass!
How could it not be that green glass? No other watch brand has ever managed to create a colored sapphire crystal.
Rolex is so confident in its creation that it is still not patented, even though Rolex are usually eager to protect their inventions. In their own words “it is so difficult to make that no one else would even venture to try.”
This is just super cool. Not even the most elusive and expensive UK 1:1 Rolex replica watches in the world can claim this. The glass is made in such a way that it is not just a coating, but the tint is present throughout the whole crystal, taking weeks to manufacture.
However, even on top of the material complexity, there are other benefits to the green glass. The main is light play. Looking at the watch directly, you only see a very faint green outline.
Tilt the watch and it becomes a richer, deeper accent. But hit the light correctly, and the whole watch glows. It becomes this luminescent feature, bringing a sense of intrigue and life to the best Rolex copy watches. For me, it goes perfectly with the scientific heritage this watch has.
It may sound silly but if you were to imagine an image that represents nuclear science, I would bet at least some of you would think of a glowing test tube.
The glass manages to replicate that in some sense and indirectly is a perfect way to give a nod back to why this AAA wholesale replica Rolex watches was conceived.
The final point I will mention on the glass is the color – green. Rolex and green are synonymous. Green has a tendency to show up in many of the anniversary models – think the ‘Kermit’ 50th-anniversary Submariner (ref 16610LV), 60th-anniversary Day-Date with olive dial (ref 228235), 50th-anniversary gold GMT (ref 116718LN).
Yes, this was the re-launch of the Milgauss and Rolex used their coveted green on the watch.
Every time I look down, the glass gives me something different to look at, something emotive about the level of engineering to produce it, and ultimately reminds me this cheap fake Rolex watches could only be one brand – Rolex.
Color Palette – 1970s
I know that the color palette won’t be for everyone. I am sure you know what the 116400GV looks like, but let me spell out the extent of color used. Black dial, green glass, white indices and minute markers, orange second-hand, orange 5-minute markers and a lighter, different orange for the 3-6-9 indices.
It is a lot but pulling it all together works. There is enough color there to give off a sporty vibe, but still manages to be refined, giving you a versatile watch to wear for every occasion.
Taking a step back and considering the broader watch market, undoubtedly the fashion of the last 5 years has been centered around vintage-inspired top Rolex replica watches, specifically focused on the 1970s.
A lot of this comes down to the meteoric rise in demand for Gerald Genta designed steel sports watches with integrated bracelets – Patek Philippe Nautilus, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, and IWC Ingenieur to name a few.
Although, with this rise in demand, many of these luxury Rolex super clone watches are now unreachable for most.
This demand has moved away from just integrated stainless steel sports watches, and now you are finding more general 1970s-inspired watches at different price points e.g., Glashütte Seventies Chronograph or the Tudor Heritage Chrono.
This is where the Milgauss comes in. The correct combination of colors found on the dial gives you a ‘70s vibe without following the crowd.
On top of that, the Milgauss is very much a modern watch, designed in modern times, which fits the current fashion without seemingly trying to. It manages to achieve a vintage look without clear intention – I’m looking at you fauxtina.
Versatility
I consider most, though not all, Swiss made replica Rolex watches to be versatile. You can wear a Submariner at the beach and the office. Similarly, a Day-Date, which is naturally more formal, still doesn’t look out of place with a pair of jeans and a T-shirt.
The Milgauss is no exception, although it falls in the middle of the spectrum between the Submariner and Day-Date.
Breaking down each individual feature of the watch into a scale between the generally accepted ideas of what dictates a formal or informal watch, it is easy to see how the Milgauss fits somewhere in the middle.
Below I’ll rate the elements of the Milgauss 3 categories: Formal, Neutral, and Casual.
Bracelet – Casual: Comparing the two bracelets on offer by Rolex – Jubilee vs. Oyster, the Milgauss comes on the Oyster bracelet which is traditionally seen as the more casual option.
Yes, a leather strap should be the formal standard, but I’m only considering the two bracelet variations on offer.
Case Size – Neutral: The Milgauss case size is 40mm. Not what I would wear as a formal watch (I lean towards a 36mm), but it also isn’t a 44mm IWC Pilot’s watch.
Complication – Formal: It is a time-only watch; no date, no chronograph.
Bezel – Neutral: It comes with a smooth bezel. It isn’t a rotating GMT or diving bezel, but also it is not fluted.
Thickness – Neutral: The Milgauss has a case thickness of 13mm. It is not thin, but like case size, there are much thicker fake Rolex watches online out there.
Crown Guards – Formal: It is a Yes/No question. Crown guards are saved for more casual tool watches given their purpose is to essentially protect the crown while the profession is carried out.
Orange lightning bolt seconds
The modern Milgauss is made up of many unique parts, but the second hand is not only unique, but it is also a direct feature that descended from the original ref. 6541.
Other best quality Rolex replica watches play around with individual second hands, whether by color or adding in certain elements near the tip (Tudor with the Snowflake and Omega Aqua Terra are rated above 15,000 Gauss for example), but none come close to the orange lightning bolt found on the 116400 rated to 1,000 Guass. Mille is French for 1,000 hence the name Milgausse.
It is one-of-a-kind, so much so, that you can see the second hand alone and know it can only come from one watch.
Whilst being both a homage and unique, Rolex achieved something great with the design originally by incorporating a symbol that signifies Energy. This reflects the scientists who the fake Rolex watches for sale was made for, but also CERN, where the watch was tested.
CERN is the site of the Large Hadron Collider, which is the world’s highest energy particle collider. How better to pay respect to this than have a lightning bolt sweeping around the dial constantly, the main hand on the watch allowing you to visually see the release of energy from the mainspring at any time?
And all this in a magnificent orange. Again, all pointing towards one thing. Energy.
The Anti-Rolex
I love Rolex. I love everything that replica Rolex watches wholesale stands for in terms of precision, going above and beyond in your craft to make truly the best, most refined product possible.
I love that their designs across the range are timeless. No other brand can trim down the lugs by a few millimeters and release it as a whole new model (with an extra waitlist nonetheless!).
But, sometimes this can be unexciting. Let’s take the new 2021 Explorer II as an example. With the 50th anniversary of the Explorer II in 2021, many expected something novel to be done with the model to commemorate the milestone, whether it was the addition of a ceramic bezel or a green GMT hand.
But this was not the case, with a watch that at first glance looked identical to the previous iteration. In situations like this, even though the Explorer II is a great watch and the changes made can only be considered improvements, it does lack in terms of excitement.
This is where the Milgauss, however, goes against the grain. For such a reserved company, that looks to create subtle variations in its iterations of original designs conceived, in most cases, long before the 21st century, the Milgauss is different.
It is bold, it pushes the boundaries of what is to be expected from Rolex, and it has an element of fun. Granted some of their recent offerings have been more in this stride, such as the 2021 “palm” motif Datejust, the Milgauss was ahead of its time in this sense.
Further, despite the color and boldness of the watch, the Milgauss is not as widely “known” as some of the other offerings such as the Submariner and Datejust, which can allow it to fly under the radar to some extent. This to me is just an extra plus.
Where the Milgauss Could Be Improved
Thickness
The biggest wish for the next Milgauss iteration from me is to reduce some of its thickness which is currently 13mm. I am torn in writing this because the thickness comes from the faraday cage that Rolex uses in between the case back and the movement.
Originally, this was the defining factor in the watch being non-magnetic, and the fact that it was kept in the modern Milgauss is just cool. If you were to open up the back of the 2024 China Rolex fake watches, which I don’t recommend and is fully reserved for Rolex-approved watchmakers, the Faraday cage has a B with an arrow above (the symbol for magnetic flux density) engraved on it. Yet another unique detail.
But, with modern technology in watch movements having non-magnetic properties such as the paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring in the 3131 movement, the faraday cage is now just there for bragging rights.
Now, when it comes to wearing the watch daily whether it’s with a suit or just casually, the heft becomes noticeable when I compare it to some other Rolex replica watches site in the collection. For pure convenience, I wouldn’t mind an extra 1mm in thinness. Yes, 1mm makes a difference.
Crown Guards?
I had not considered this until the new 2022 Air-King was released. I will go into my Air-King thoughts another day, but the crown guards definitely added something extra for me. It gave the Air-King a new sportiness, somehow now fitting better in the Rolex Professional category and what I would consider a tool watch.
It got me thinking about the Swiss movements replica Rolex Milgauss watches, and I think crown guards could add that same something extra. Yes, they might take away some of the versatility that I mentioned above, but in return, you would be giving it a more go-anywhere, ruggedness.
