1971 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Ref. 1601 Replica Watches With Red Jasper Dial

Stone dial high quality fake Rolex Day-Date and Datejust watches have been “a thing” over the past couple of years with seemingly more and more interest flooding into the niche space by the day. The various stones and their colors do a lot in photos and on the wrist because we are so accustomed to seeing these models in their more natural and simple state. A stone dial really pops when in the context of best copy watches that you usually find a plain champagne or silver dial. In this setting, the a colorful stone is all the more intriguing. The appeal is all very, at risk of being corny, natural.

There are levels to the stone dial Rolex world. Sure, the deep black of an onyx dial is cool but, honestly, those are relatively a dime a dozen. The same can be said for lapis lazuli. Again, this is all relative and I’m being a bit tongue in cheek in insinuating these are “common” by any measure. That being said, when compared to a red jasper dial, the onyx and lapis variants are chump change. I first started to notice this particular stone dial about a year ago, just before the Geneva auctions last November. They are rare enough that before then, I just hadn’t come across an example. At that time, dealers and auction houses were estimating that three or 10 or a dozen examples existed. The reality is that no one really knows how many of these there are. Unless cheap China Rolex replica watches wants to tell us, of course. But, I can say that I now see two or three come up for sale a year (in the whopping one year I have been following them).

So far, we have only observed red jasper dials in Datejust cases, not Day-Dates. Some have speculated that the stone is more delicate than the others used by Rolex leading to an apprehension or inability to cut the larger day indicator window but, we just don’t know. The dial itself is really good looking in the yellow gold wholesale online fake Rolex Datejust watches case. The red tone is deep and the finish is quite matte looking in photos. A watch can be rare but if it isn’t attractive, it doesn’t matter. Here, there is no question about attractiveness.

The seller, Richard (nice name) at Archiwatch, is offering this red jasper-dialed Rolex Datejust for €64.900.

1920s Fake Cartier Rectangular Wristwatches

The vintage Cartier train keeps on moving down the tracks it seems. Every week when I go to put together Bring A Loupe, something perfect Cartier replica watches and interesting materializes. This one, at an auction house in London with varying reviews based on a few friends I asked, is rare. Described as 1920s in the listing, I estimate production of the top super clone watches to be in the mid to late 1920s so, they’re spot on there. The model is an odd ball. In this period, very few models really even had a name from Cartier, even the Tank Normale was not yet the Tank Normale as we know it now. The brand was approaching watchmaking from the perspective of a jeweler, making various shapes and sizes that pleased their customers in some way.

I am intrigued by this piece of Cartier history as it seems to be something of a predecessor to the Tank Basculante, introduced in 1933. The overall case shape and movement are very similar to the now more recognizable and collectible Basculante. I have a sneaking suspicion that this model, whatever we want to call it, had a heavy influence on the design of the Basculante.

As with most Swiss made Cartier copy watches from this period, condition and originality is hard to say with certainty. Based on my reading of the catalog description, I believe the case and movement numbers match which is really important. The originality of the dial, on the other hand, I won’t make a claim on – I would really need to view the watch in person or speak to someone who has.
