Rolex Reference 6238 ‘Pre-Daytona’ Replica Watch Reviews



The dial


The legendary status of Rolex Cosmograph Daytonas replica watch fitted with “Paul Newman” exotic dials has sent values of the best examples soaring into the stratosphere. The most paid so far is £673,000 at Christie’s in 2013 for a 1969 example in which the words “Oyster” and “Cosmograph” were transposed from their normal positions.

But while enthusiasm for the model never seems to wane, the values of an arguably far more attractive Rolex chronograph from the 1960s remain relatively low. The watch in question is the delectable reference 6238, also known as the “pre-Daytona” due to it being manufactured between the first Rolex wrist chronographs made during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s and the Cosmograph/Cosmograph Daytona introduced in 1963.

Examples of the 6238 appear at auction relatively rarely (certainly in relation to the perversely more valuable “PN”), and those in such well preserved condition as the one offered by Sotheby’s really are “once in a blue moon” affairs. The exceptionally good state of the watch could be accounted for by the fact it was consigned by the original owner of more than 50 years; someone who must be commended for the way he looked after it.


The case


The 36mm case appeared to be gently worn but not over-polished, the crown and push-pieces were in excellent order, and even the bracelet – which may well have been the original fitting – still seemed entirely usable. What really marked this watch out, however, was the fabulous condition of its (original) silvered dial, on which everything from the luminous dot hour markers to the printing of the inner tachymeter bezel remained fresh, crisp and clear.

Whoever took the decision to ignore the high estimate of £15,000 and bid to the final selling price of £20,625 was wise indeed. This watch will never lose value but, as more people become aware of just how rare and stylish the 6238 is, it might just creep towards “Paul Newman” territory before you know it.

In summary


An excellent vintage Rolex that can feasibly be worn without losing value. Its “one owner” provenance can never be repeated but if it is maintained in similar condition during the next decade and doesn’t pass through the hands of further buyers it will only increase in value.

Breitling Bentley Replica Watch You Can Wear

  Overall Impression I am happy that someone at Breitling has finally realized that there is a lot of wealthy people with good taste and there is a strong demand for classy ultra-luxury watches. Like with the last year’s Navitimer Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Limited Edition model, Breitling’s designers sought their inspiration in watches that were offered by the brand back in the 1940s-1950s when their products were mainly associated with elegance and refinement, not with arrogance and brutality. The new batch of vintage-styled models is still significantly physically larger than the classic pieces from half a century ago, but not in that defiantly vulgar way as the luxury timekeepers offered ten -or even five- years ago by Breitling itself, Breitling Bentley replica watch as well as its many competitors. Case, Ergonomics & Strap At 42 millimeters in diameter, the Centenary is still larger than a classic dressy chronograph and the lugs could have been a trifle shorter to make the

Replica Date Feature Or Nodate?Rolex 116610LN VS 114060 Replica Watch

The Rolex Submariner 114060 is in 2012. Rolex Submariner 116610 appeared in the next year. The Rolex Submariner 116610LN replica watch and 114060 are not only different in birth time, but both watches are representative of Rolex. If you want to choose one of these two watches, how do you choose? Will you choose to have a replica date feature or not? Overall Shape From the overall shape, the biggest difference between the two Rolex Submariners is the date feature. At three o’clock, the replica Rolex Submariner 116610LN has a replica date feature, but the Rolex Submariner 114060 does not display the date. Therefore, in replica Rolex Submariner 116610LN is called “date black nig”, and the other is “no date nigga”. Appearance Details Take a watch in one hand, after careful comparison, you will find that the Rolex Submariner 116610LN replica watch and 114060 are the same. The dials are all 40 mm in diameter. Both the pointer and the time scale are white in color and have the same shape.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300M Ceramic Automatic Diver Replica Watch

Taken, the Swiss watchmaking brand TAG Heuer has updated its famous Aquaracer kind of relatively affordable divers with plenty of new timepieces including scratch-proof bezel. Although not replacing older models, they in some manner be capable of significantly refresh and expand the range with only a couple of light brushes occasionally effectively that makes it a lot more difficult to bid farewell to the store without blowing a substantial hole within your budget. After I have formerly stated, situation a little, um, mid-cycle update, so don’t expect this refreshed model to supply much new inside the looks department. Besides the apparent scratch-resistant, glossy ceramic bezel, the 2015 Aquaracer line now features slightly revised dial with new hrs, minutes, and seconds hands, and several minor adjustment to smaller sized sized elements, like inscriptions and hour markers. Still, round the more subjective note, I have to admit the facial skin-lifted model looks much more
