Fake Rolex GMT Master II Ref. 16710 Review

We haven’t delved into the world of vintage watches on the WRB YouTube channel, although this Rolex GMT Master II ref. 16710 isn’t exactly an ancient vintage, but I thought it would be an exciting piece.

When I picked it up, I immediately compared it to modern Rolex offerings.

Rolex gets a lot of hype, and it’s rare to hear an opinion other than “it’s the best.” But I will tell you that after spending some time with the GMT Master 16710, Rolex’s new modern collection is undoubtedly a significant improvement over past designs. I can appreciate the pure tool watch aesthetic of the Ref 16710. Still, at the same time, it feels a bit bland, and this is a comparison where you can really appreciate the subtle but excellent changes to the aluminum bezel inserted into the ceramic, the larger and easier-to-read “max dial” markers, and one of the most important changes on the modern Rolex model is the solid link bracelet and stronger clasp.

Comparisons aside, if we pull back to the late 90s and early 21st century, the Ref 16710 was at the top of its league and started Rolex’s iconic GMT Master II line – it was a replica rolex watches to own then, and indeed still is now for those seeking some nostalgia and pure Rolex tool watch DNA.

The blue/red bezel version, aka Pepsi, has been the most popular color combination for the GMT Master II and was issued to Pan Am crews back in the day – but the black bezel version we have here is the stealth watch for those who still want GMT functionality but don’t want to venture into submariner territory.

As beautiful as this watch is, I think I would personally prefer a Submariner from the same era if I had the choice. It’s a very subjective preference, and as someone who prefers simplicity, I prefer the markers and click action on the bezel, the text on the dial, and a thicker crown, like the Submariner #16610.

One of the impressive aspects of the 16710 is the comfort of the wrist. 16710 is impressively comfortable on the wrist, and it’s no mystery that this best replica watches does feel light on the wrist thanks to the hollowed-out chain strap and slightly slimmer case and lugs. Visually, I’d say it’s comparable in size to the modern Rolex GMT collection, with slightly slimmer lugs, but still quite long.

This particular movement starts with the 3185 and transitions to the 3186, which has a hacking function and a 24-hour hand with a 24-hour tachymeter function.

I hope you enjoy this fast-running GMT Master II 16710. It’s an absolutely beautiful watch and an all-time classic.

Hands-on review of the fake Rolex Yacht-Master 116655

In terms of Baselworld 2015, you won’t be surprised to see that the recipe had been kept. Nevertheless, one of the classics is receiving an important update. I knew it so well that I actually have it on a list of proposed topics for this yearlong experiment. Now for the moment of reckoning: what part of the nearly centimeter wide swath of paint on the upper left hand quadrant of the crystal was just visiting, and what part would be permanent.
In this blog, the new edition of the Rolex Yacht-Master will be explored, which is now in Everose gold, with a ceramic bezel and with a rubber strap.
The Rolex Yacht-Master was one of the few rolex that wasn’t updated. The rest of the collection – Submariner, Explorer II, Milgauss or Sea-Dweller – had received, at least, a small update or a more important change. Nevertheless, all of them are keeping the same base and weren’t a total renewal of the existing models. In terms of this new cheap replica Rolex Yacht-Master 116655, the recipe is exactly the same: maintaining the same bases and adding the new technologies – and another important (at least for Rolex) novelty. In comparison to my other watches, it is light and sits flatly around the wrist which makes me extremely comfortable to put on.

The first thing that had been updated on this Rolex Yacht-Master 116655 is the 40mm case, that now comes in 18K rose gold (or Everose as Rolex likes to call its own alloy). Beforehand accessible merely in stainless steel (with a platinum bezel) with either silver or a blue dial, the Rolex Yacht-Master now turns to precious metal. The speedometer on the left is developed as a back-up to the digital instruments in case of a power-failure. Of course, the typically Rolex fluted case back is still here and is also executed in 18k rose gold. Water resistance is still at 100m.
The big novelty is nevertheless in the strap. For the first time, Rolex comes with a Rubber strap. That might be something quite random for most of the brands but for Rolex collectors, this is big. The face of the cheap replica watches is updated with new materials and colors as well. As you’ve possibly noticed, the bezel keeps its raised numerals and its 60-minute scale however it now comes in black Cerachrom (Rolex own ceramic), with numbers and graduations polished on the top while the background maintains matt, in order to allow a good contrast.
Furthermore, the dial also shares this same deep black color and comes with gold applied indexes filled with white luminous material. The identical goes for the movement as the replica rolex Yacht-Master 116655 still sports the calibre 3135, a robust, in-house mechanical movement with date and chronometer rated (by COSC). 
This black Oysterflex bracelet is made in a very soft and flexible rubber. Due to longitudinal cushion system that stabilizes the watch (two very soft rubber bands on the internal part of the strap), in comparison to my other watches, it is light and sits flatly around the wrist which makes me extremely comfortable to put on. This Oysterflex bracelet is fitted on an 18k Everose gold Oysterlock clasp.
Nevertheless, don’t imagine having this strap on another of your Rolex, as the attachment is specific to this new edition of the Yacht-Master and won’t fit any other watch.
All of the years of planning, development, engineering, and testing boil down to one single hour. Under a minute for the first pass, then cooling down, turning around, recalibrating everything and eventually making a second pass within the set timeframe of 60 minutes. Talk about pressure!

Hands-on review of the 2019 replica TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre

With intention to have a deeper look at this novelty, there are 3 other editions that must be considered. The first one is of course the vintage re-issue, the Monaco Cali bre 11 40th anniversary limited edition, launched in 2009 under the ref. CAW211A. The second one is no doubt the real Heuer Monaco, the one worn by Steve McQueen in the movie “Le Mans”, the one with the real Calibre 11, with the blue dial and the red accents: the Ref. 1133B. Last but not least, we also have to look at the actual reference, the one that is in the catalogue for 5 years now (and that is still in for the moment), the Monaco Calibre 12 Ref. CAW 2111, launched in 2010.
The new replica
TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 11″Steve McQueen” ref. CAW211P, basically, is a very faithful re-edition of the very first Monaco, sharing the same dial, the same indexes, the same colors – the same overall look to make it short.
From a dial point of view, there’s clearly not much differences between this new Monaco Steve McQueen CAW211P and the original Monaco Steve McQueen 1133B. Except a few details (like the size of the fonts or the thickness of the markers), these two share the same design. The main hands are extremely close, meaning polished metal with a red band and a white insert of luminous paint, a red chronograph hand (with quite a difference though, as the shape of the new one is rather slim. The old 1133B had a triangular and thicker hand) and black hands for the sub-dials. Both are stamped with the old “Heuer” logo (and not the actual TAG Heuer logo). The blue dial is matte and grained (from the photos, we’d say that the blue of the new one is a bit darker and less saturated… but that’s photos) and the sub-dials are white and squared with rounded angles (and with the same fonts and markers).
Compared to all the other editions of the Monaco, the main specificity of the Calibre 11 is to have the crown on the left side and the pushers on the right side – just like the old one. Enough of specifications, let’s have a look at this TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 “Steve McQueen” ref. CAW211P next to its ancestors.
At this point, start a quite difficult “Spot the difference” game, as clearly these two are very, very close – but let’s first explain the context of the CAW211A. Despite its high price, the fake watches sold out instantly, and even today it’s a difficult one to find on the second-hand market” (source: Calibre 11). In 2009, TAG Heuer launched a first re-edition of the vintage Monaco, for the 40th anniversary of this watch. As expected, it was very close to the original 1133B. The layout of the dial is also exactly the same and so are the colors. It was a limited edition of 1,000 pieces, priced at approximately 10,000 Euros at that time (quite a hefty price for a Monaco…). “For that price, you also received a special presentation box and a Steve McQueen book.This Monaco CAW211A was the first of its kind to receive a sapphire crystal. The caseback was full and engraved with commemorative decorations.
oth are stamped with the old “Heuer” logo (and not the actual TAG Heuer logo). The colors are looking slightly distinct though, with the CAW211A 40th anniversary looking more vivid than the new CAW211P (and therefore more close to the original… but then again, it’s photos). This new, 2019 TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 “Steve McQueen” ref. CAW211P is interesting for many reasons. First of all, it brings back the real Monaco look, the real Steve McQueen feel, with this matte dial and those horizontal indexes. It is faithful in many ways to the early edition and will please collectors in a need for this beauty. The other good news concerns the price, as it comes for half the price of the 40th anniversary edition, meaning a reasonable 4,995 Euros. The last good news is that it won’t be a limited edition but a regular commercial piece – meaning that many collectors looking for the 2009 CAW211A will probably move to this new one.
It has a 39mm x 39mm case (which makes it rather small on paper but not that small on the wrist) and it features the Calibre 11, which is nothing comparable with the old Calibre 11, as based on a modern 3-hand Selitta movement with a chronograph module by Dubois-Depraz on the top. BComparing the cheap replica TAG Heuer Monaco 40th anniversary edition and the new, 2019 TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 “Steve McQueen” ref. CAW211P is easy, as there’s not much differences. First of all, the new one has a 39mm case while the 40th anniversary had a 38mm case. The shape of the case, of the pushers, of the crown and their positions is nevertheless the same. The dials are also totally identical, with the same hands, indexes, tracks, sub-dials (with the same placement and same function).

Introduction to Chopard Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Black Edition

The 03.05-M is an in-house movement that is produced and assembled by Chopard in Fleurier, Switzerland, and can be seen via a display case back that proudly proclaims their role as Official Timing Partner for Porsche Motorsport. This is a big year for the team as Porsche looks to repeat last year’s outstanding performance which saw their 919 cars take 1st and 2nd place at one of the most challenging races in all of motorsports.
Much more limited than the original 919 Superfast, this new model is dubbed the “Black Edition” and pays tribute to Chopard’s ongoing relationship with Porsche Motorsport’s World Endurance Championship team and their 919 Hybrid race car. Having had hands-on time with the original Superfast 919, I love the direction of this new, more racy, model. With the world-famous 24 Hours of Le Mans taking place this weekend at Circuit De La Sarthe in Le Mans, France, Chopard has selected an ideal time and place to launch the new Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Black Edition. Continuing their close connection with motorsports, Chopard has announced a second iteration of their Superfast Chronograph Porsche 919.

Like the Superfast 919 from 2014, the new Chopard Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Black Edition is a 45mm-wide sporty fly-back chronograph, but where the original 919 chrono was steel, the Black Edition is titanium that has been treated to a bead-blasted DLC black finish. Currently, if you are searching for a great best fake watches to add to your collection, or just hunting for a high-end timepiece, then my table below can help you out. Indeed, Chopard may be best known for their dressy replica watches and haute-horology L.U.C line, but they are far from new to designing capable luxury sport watches. With a bold and luminous time display, black dial, and a mix of red accents, the Chopard Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Black Edition certainly looks at home within the world of professional motorsports.
Using Chopard’s COSC-certified 03.05-M automatic chronograph movement, the Chopard Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Black Edition sports a 12-hour chronograph with flyback, 60 hours of power reserve, and a rate of 4Hz.
Both of the pushers and the crown are coated in rubber and offer a welcome detail that should feel noticeable to the touch and the red chrono start button is like the engine start button on a sports car. The three chronograph hands, the chrono start pusher, and the 919 icon in the nine o’clock sub dial are all bright red and mimic the livery of the updated 2016 Porsche 919 Hybrid race car (seen below).
