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

Rolex Yacht-Master II Replica Watch:Slight Facelift Of The Skipper Watch

Strictly speaking, this is not a novelty but a slight facelift of the Rolex Yacht-Master II replica watch . Indeed, this year, the Yacht-Master II, an imposing 44 mm regatta chronograph, is adorned with a new dial and new hands that go perfectly with this piece, which is totally unique in the world of racing. Geneva manufacture. The movement We no longer present the Yacht-Master II, a well-known Rolex model launched ten years ago, which, thanks to its “in-house” caliber, allows a “programmable countdown with mechanical memory”. More precisely, this countdown is programmable from 10 to 1 minutes. This, in order to prepare for the start of a regatta. This programming is memorized by the “in house” mechanism (caliber 4161/72 h of power reserve), which allows, when resetting, to return to the time initially set. Once activated, the countdown can be synchronized in flight to precisely match the official race count. The dial We all know the system of this timepiece which remains unchanged.

Up Close: The Rolex Sky-Dweller Replica Watch

The Rolex Sky-Dweller replica watch is not one of the brand’s icons. It’s not a watch everybody understands, and it’s not a watch everybody loves. It was launched in 2012, and is one of Rolex’s most complicated watches, combining a dual time zone function with an annual calendar. Partly thanks to that, and partly thanks to its looks, it often gets unfairly lumped in with the Yacht-Master II. Like that watch, it is mostly spotted in two-tone or solid gold (indeed, it’s not available in plain old steel). This year, however, it has had a re-design that brings it much closer to “heartland Rolex”. It now comes in six new references with baton hour markers instead of Arabic or Roman numerals; these are either steel and yellow gold or steel and white gold “Rolesor” cases and bracelets, and it’s the latter that really caught our eye. They come with a choice of three eminently sensible dial colours – black, white and blue – and lend a stealth factor to a watch that previously knew onl
