If you’re looking for a break from new releases, you’re in the right place. The watch internet gods made it easy for me this week, I cannot lie. Best UK Rolex replica watches kept on popping up on my radar and making their way to my working list – I even had to make a few cuts!
1969 Rolex Paul Newman Daytona Ref. 6263 Mk 1.75 Panda Dial Replica Watches
On Tuesday, when Jacek from Tropical Watch posted a blurred out wristshot to his Instagram of what was clearly cheap 1:1 fake Rolex Paul Newman Daytona watches, I knew it had to be a crazy example. It takes a special watch to get someone like him excited enough to tease us like this. A day later, the watch was properly posted for sale and everything became clear – for sale is one of the best Paul Newmans you will ever see.
The panda Paul Newman reference 6263 is considered by many, including collectors like Ben Clymer, to be a perfect thing. That may seem like a vague description, but when you talk to enough watch people, you begin to understand that even the most universally loved Swiss movements Rolex copy watches have “flaws.” Comments like “yeah but I wish the case was a bit thinner” are commonplace. When it comes to something like a white-dialed 6263 Newman, there are no holes to poke.
Universally the ultimate Newman, the ref. 6263 stands out as the final iteration of the manually-wound Daytona generation with an updated Valjoux 72-based movement, screw-down pushers, and a black bezel. Aesthetically, collectors have always been drawn to these later Newman dials as they are devoid of red accents, hence the panda nickname.
The example for sale here checks all the boxes. The case is strong with light wear, the dial is overall clean with all the right patina and a slight tropical note to the outer track, and the parts are original. Jacek should get props for noting the last sale of this top China Rolex replica watches at Christie’s Geneva in May of 2022, as many dealers would not. I remember viewing the watch then and would never forget that dial, but being clear that this watch previously sold publicly isn’t a detractor – it is a plus.
Check out the full listing over on Tropical Watch. The asking price is $735,550 – a big number for a huge high quality Rolex super clone watches. If you’re with me and not in the $700k Paul Newman market, I found this cool old Rolex t-shirt on eBay as a consolation prize.
1950s Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 6565 Fake Watches
Here is a bonus pick coming from a small auction house in New Hampshire. While I find this saying tired, the three C’s of vintage watch collecting are said to be “condition, condition, condition,” and this watch fits the bill. The watch itself is nothing entirely special – it is likely a reference 6565 Rolex Oyster Perpetual replica watches for sale from the 1950s, but when found in this kind of condition it is a Rolex even the most snobby of collectors can be proud to wear. With a quite interesting dial design, it’s not just your standard vintage OP – just look at the fullness of the lume material and overall patina. This one would be killer after a quick Polywatch session.
Likely coming straight out of an estate, this Swiss made Rolex fake watches is offered next to various artworks, furniture, and jewelry by William Smith Auctions in Plainfield, New Hampshire, as lot 181 of its 57th Annual Post Labor Day Auction. The estimate was $400-$600, but at the time of publication bidding has reached a whopping $1,000.
