Test on the Luxury Rolex GMT-Master II

Rolex has upgraded its popular travel watch, the GMT-Master II, in stainless steel with a blue and black “Batman” bezel. We tested one of the first pieces with a Jubilee bracelet and a new movement in this feature.
The blue and black color scheme on the bezel of this fake Rolex GMT-Master II has led its fans to call it “Batman”. The current version comes with a Jubilee bracelet and a new movement, launching in 2019. Its predecessor in the same colors as these appeared in 2013 and was the first Rolex model to feature a two-tone ceramic bezel. This particular color combination did not exist before; the first GMT-Master II in 1954 featured a blue and red 24-hour scale, and later became known as the “Pepsi” because of this color combination.
Today, the GMT-Master II in steel is available in two versions that differ only in the color of the bezel: the Pepsi and the Batman, our test watch. Both feature a new movement and the five-row Jubilee bracelet was once reserved only for the Datejust model. Rolex previously equipped the GMT-Master II Gold and Rolesor (steel and gold) GMT-Master II models with a sportier three-row Oyster bracelet. Replica Rolex designed the Jubilee bracelet for the Datejust in 1945, but as early as 1959, the GMT-Master was also available with a Jubilee bracelet as an option. Like the GMT-Master II’s Oyster bracelet, the inner links are polished and the outer links are brushed.
These colors were originally chosen to more clearly distinguish day and night times in a second-time zone. These and other specifications originated with Pan Am, who requested this model. New jet aircraft made intercontinental flights shorter and more popular, and as the number of flights increased, so did the demand for cheap replica watches with dual time zone capability. The popularity of the GMT-Master came from its pilot’s watch style and colorful, instantly recognizable bezel. Later, there were reserved versions such as the black and red “Coke” model.
The Jubilee bracelet is very comfortable to wear. The small links fit snugly around the wrist and do not pull on the delicate wrist hair. The Oyster bracelet is also comfortable thanks to its curved links. The bracelet and case are still made of non-corrosive 904L stainless steel, which Rolex has recently started calling “Oystersteel”.

Breitling’s Datora Revival Hits A Symmetrical Sweet Spot

Breitling today unveiled the new Heritage Premier collection, offering fans of vintage chronographs a true all-out effort. If you’ve ever been attracted to vintage calendar fake Rolex watches, you’re not alone. I probably check with vintage experts Saori and Brandon at the HODINKEE store almost weekly to see if there are any mid-century three-tier calendar watches around. Give me a wistful moon phase display at six o’clock and a double line sun/moon aperture below 12 o’clock and I’ll die happy.
Even if you’re someone who generally prefers simplicity and the sublime to claustrophobic dials with narrow scales and crowded totalizers, there’s something to appreciate about full calendars like the one in the original Datora reference and the one brought in today in the new Premier Heritage collection. The most common complaint about date displays is how they interrupt the symmetry of the dial, but on a calendar watch like the Datora, everything is executed in perfect balance, from the applied Arabic numerals to the three subdials packed with information. Honestly, if you fold the dial in half, each side will fit seamlessly on top of the other.
That’s the beauty of great vintage design – it proves to be timeless. On the other hand, movements are where today’s watch companies can demonstrate the benefits of 21st-century engineering. Breitling replica was the first brand to use the new B25 movement and given their role in movement development, they even offer a five-year manufacturer’s warranty on the purchase of a new Datora watch, which is usually reserved for replica watches with the brand’s entirely in-house movements.
Like the rest of the Heritage Premier line, Breitling has introduced a new Datora in 18k red gold and stainless steel, and while the precious metal model with its warm cream dial brings a certain old-world elegance and will have a large following, it is the combination of stainless steel and salmon-colored dial that appeals to me.

Trendy Jeans You Want to Buy

High-waist jeans are everywhere and have been for a long time. However, this new denim style is essentially the opposite of skinny jeans, replacing skinny jeans with very loose, non-stretch jeans. High-waist wide-leg jeans are often cut to the ankle, a nod to the 1970s, but don’t require platform boots to wear. Short hair allows you to show off the trendy Western Cuban heels.  
This year’s update to a style that has been around a couple of seasons, is the wider leg in selvage denim. Selvage denim is formed using an old-fashioned weaving technique – one performed on a loom, but this has been modernized, this is the way denim was made before we had machines that could be mass-produced.
A nod to ‘slow fashion, the wider leg jean in a selvage style is a middle finger to disposable buying habits. The tougher grain means it’s a hardy style to invest in and stands to exist in your arsenal for longer.
The point here is on the ankle, so style these jeans wholesale with a high-heeled patent boot or a trophy shoe. Keep it neat up top with a short jacket.
Thanks to super-skinny models like Bella Hadid, a denim style that has become as controversial as skinny jeans have caught on. Just as the skinny jean ruled over all other denim styles for years, so has the high-waist. After over-exposure to the 90s and 00s’ pelvis-baring low-slung look, we welcomed the return of the belly-button hugging styles that shot up in rebellion.
They’re not the only ones at it though. Spanish brand Desigual recently partnered with Ecoalf, to produce styles made entirely out of recycled denim. LA-based Re/Done has for a long time had a similar approach, taking vintage Levi’s apart at the seams and repurposing the fabric to create one-of-a-kind jeans that are made all the better by the worn denim.
But now, after years of favoring the high-waist in every jeans style, we can finally confirm the rumor is true. Ultralow jeans are making a comeback. Dew pants, Thongs, low-rise jeans (and cargo pants) are back.

Popular Rolex GMT-Master II Root Beer

When Rolex released its updated Root Beer bezel in 2018, it really reinvigorated collectors’ admiration for this unique timepiece. For starters, we hadn’t seen a Root Beer GMT in over a decade, and while it was never the most popular GMT model among collectors, it was appreciated for its unique aesthetic and the mark it left on the collection. So when replica Rolex reintroduced the Root Beer Bezel in 2018, many were shocked to see its return.
Of course, the new Rolex GMT-Master II Root Beer ref. 126711CHNR has been brought into the 21st century with some much-needed updates. The two-tone configuration of gold has been replaced with stainless steel and Everose gold for a warmer and more modern look. In addition, the two-way ceramic bezel is now black and brown with recessed Everoe gold numerals, rather than half brown and half gold, and made of anodized aluminum like all previous iterations.
With this in mind, the biggest and most notable upgrade to the bezel is the use of Rolex’s proprietary ceramic material, which the brand calls Cerachrom. Looking at some of the earlier root beer bezels made from aluminum, one can see that many of them have suffered from scratches and fading over the years. By using this new, incredibly durable, and fade-resistant ceramic material for the bezel, a fake Rolex watch was able to ensure that these warm colors would last more or less indefinitely. The two-tone Root Beer bezel made of ceramic is also noteworthy because it is extremely difficult to manufacture. Rolex could have just gone with an all-brown Cerachrom bezel, so the effort to return to a two-tone bezel, but in more modern colors and materials, is certainly noteworthy.
The dial has also received a much-needed upgrade. Instead of a brown sunburst as before, the dial is glossy black with Everose gold markers applied and filled with luminescent blue Chromalight luminosity. Of course, Mercedes’s hands are still there, but these are now also made of Everose gold and treated with Chromalight. While some people like the inherently retro feel of the warm brown dial on the old Root Beer GMT, the glossy black dial on the new 126711CHNR reference certainly provides the watch with a more modern overall look.
It’s a watch to behold, as brown is still an unlikely color to be found on a watch. However, the way it combines with the lacquered black dial and warm 18k Everose gold makes it feel effortlessly sleek and modern. Of course, years from now, it’s possible to look back at this Ref. 126711CHNR and marvel at it. The 126711CHNR has the same vintage aesthetic that we’ve come to associate with the Ref. 1675/3. However, it represents the classic Root Beer GMT-Master in true modern style, and it is another example of how Rolex continues to push forward and innovate without forgetting the past.

Amazing Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Frosted Gold Flying Tourbillon

Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet has introduced a new take on its women’s Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon, which continues the theme — established in the brand’s 2018 Carolina Bucci Limited Edition Royal Oak Frosted Gold — of interweaving refined feminine aesthetics with complicated micro-mechanics.
The dial’s four sunburst blue circles, increasing in size with hues of blue, emanate from the flying tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock. The new Royal Oak Concept Frosted Gold Flying Tourbillon is available in either an 18k rose-gold or 18k white-gold case. The replica watch, with a shimmering “frosted gold” finish and a contemporary dial composed of multiple layers, is the latest piece to emerge from Audemars Piguet’s collaboration with Florentine jewelry designer Carolina Bucci.  
This model is the first to offer the “frosted gold” motif— an ancient Florentine jewelry technique — on the sculptural, multifaceted Royal Oak Concept case. The tiny indentations on the gold surface, similar to those of its “diamond dust” predecessor, are created with a diamond-tipped tool, to give a “sparkle” effect like that of precious stones, another process that dates back to ancient Florence.
The flying tourbillon cage features an open-worked gold-tone circle topped with brilliant-cut diamonds. The dial is composed of four blue-colored circles of increasing size and brightening hues, emanating from the flying tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock. The sunburst motif further accentuates the dial’s depth. At the heart of the flying tourbillon cage is an open-worked gold-tone circle topped with brilliant-cut diamonds. The dial features no hour-markers to “enhance the purity of this contemporary design,” according to the fake Audemars Piguet.
Inside the 38.5-mm-diameter case is the manually-wound manufacture Caliber 2964. At a diameter of 29.5 mm, the movement contains 207 components, including 17 jewels, beats at a frequency of 3 Hz, and holds a minimum power reserve of 72 hours. The case’s crown, set with a translucent sapphire cabochon, secures its water-resistant to 20 meters.
The movement’s circular motif is visible through the sapphire crystal case back and alternates between sandblasted and satin-brushing that echoes the finishes of the “frosted gold” case and sunburst dial. The two models are finished with a dark blue alligator strap, with large square scales, and include an additional blue-textured rubber strap featuring a constellation motif. Each strap’s folding clasp matches the “frosted gold” of its case.

Patek Philippe postpones all watch launches

In any other year, Patek Philippe bringing forward its entire 2021 launch schedule by a year would be news that would shake up the global watch industry.
But these are not normal times. Patek Philippe shared the decision with its retail partners earlier this week and it was welcomed as a common-sense response to the global lockdown caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Baselworld has been postponed until 2021, replica Patek Philippe‘s factories are running in maintenance mode for the foreseeable future, its headquarters and in-country distribution offices are actually not open, and so are the doors of almost all its retail partners. Distribution has ground to a standstill.
In the circumstances, switching any capacity up and down the supply chain and distribution channel to the creation, launch, and sale of new collections would simply add to the strain.
None of the retailers who shared the news of Patek Philippe’s decision wanted to go on the record, and the public as online from the brand remains that “it will not launch the new models in April this year originally planned”.
One retailer said it was another example of how Patek Philippe cares for and appreciates the requirements of its partners. He said that the brand had also relaxed payment terms on invoices to relieve pressure on cashflow.
They are crucial, he stressed, because they generate excitement among retailers and customers. But with everybody’s health and financial security much more important right now, the decision to delay looks prudent and of minimal risk to Patek Philippe and others that follow the same strategy.
For brands like Patek Philippe, fake Rolex, and Audemars Piguet, whose waiting lists for some of their unicorn watches are usually long, the year-long delay in releasing a new style may have allowed them to shift resources to producing more top-selling watches.
That could allow sales of these hugely popular watches to catch up quickly, which would be a big help to retailers and lift the spirits of watch consumers who have been on waiting lists for years.

How to Get Rare Rolex Models

You might say that every Rolex is hard to find — the famous Swiss watchmaker makes only a limited number of watches each year, and even the cheapest example sells for thousands of dollars. However, there are some Rolex models that are really hard to source.
While getting your hands on brand new, in-production Rolex watches often requires a waitlist at retailers, tracking down a particular discontinued or vintage model can sometimes feel impossible. Worse, you may not be the only one looking for hard-to-find models, which makes it even harder to find reasonable examples.
Given all this, it’s perhaps not surprising that collectors ask us one of the most frequent questions about how they get the hard-to-get Rolex that everyone wants. Today, we’re going to break down all your options, along with some of the things you should avoid to ensure that you get the Rolex model you want without getting cheated.
For desirable current-production Rolex watches, you need to put your name on a waiting list at a Rolex boutique or an authorized retailer. These lists can be years in length, and they don’t always ensure that you will even get one before Rolex stops making the model altogether – which you know can happen without any warning. However, if you want a brand-new model with the full Rolex factory warranty, this is still the only way to do it.
Before the internet, local dealers were the go-to way to track down the hard to find Rolex models, mostly because they were the most trusted and connected. And if you have a particularly good relationship with your local dealer who sells pre-owned Rolex models, it can still be a good option. However, you have to be near the top of the list to make sure you get it, and chances are you’re not the only one.
Today, the most efficient way to find a Rolex model is through a digital dealer. First and foremost, you won’t be relegated to a long waiting list with others looking for exactly the same pattern. As long as the watches are on sale, anyone browsing websites and digital catalogues can snap them up. Second, it removes barriers to the border, allowing you to buy from a trusted dealer that you might not otherwise have touched in your area.
Actually, for instance, sources hard to find Rolex watches from all around the world, giving our customers the widest selection on the market. And on our secure and trusted website, you can browse and order our certified pre-owned Rolex watches, which are all in-stock and available for immediate purchase. Moreover, we sometimes even get completely unworn Rolex watches, with their original packaging and boxes and paper, which is a great way to get around long waiting lists.

Ever Cheap Rolex Datejust and Rolex Air-King

The Rolex Datejust is a true industry icon and the best-selling Rolex model of all time. First introduced in 1945, the Datejust permanently established the standard for date displays on wristwatches, and it has been a cornerstone offering within the Rolex catalog ever since. Due to its long history and continuous production operations, a considerable number of examples exist today, many of which can still be purchased on the secondary market for less than $6,000.  rolex
One of the great things about the Rolex Datejust is the remarkably wide range of diversity that exists within this single collection due to how long it has been in production and its enduring popularity all over the years. Along with both trendy and vintage models, you will also find Rolex Datejust watches in a variety of different sizes, crafted from a number of different materials, and fitted with an impossibly diverse assortment of different dials, bezels, and bracelets.
Not all Rolex Datejust models can be ordered for under $5,000 and generally speaking, modern Datejust watches and those made from valuable metals will typically be the most expensive. However, there are still quite a few different references – especially those made between the 1960s and 1990s – available for less than $6,000, and you can even opt for the iconic two-color model, which features stainless steel and gold components
The Rolex Air-King is another historic model that can often be seen for well below the $6,000 price point. The Air-King collection was first officially launched in 1957, but the actual first use of the ‘Air-King’ name on replica Rolex watches dates all the way back to the 1940s. Although the series was briefly discontinued between 2014 and 2016, the very long production cycle of the Rolex Air-King means there are still plenty of products available in the secondary market at very reasonable prices.
The longest-running reference from the collection’s history is the ref. 5500. This historic model holds the distinction of being the first official Air-King reference from 1957 and it remained available all the way up until the early 1990s. Vintage Rolex prices can often be extremely expensive, especially for inaugural references. However, because of the incredibly long production period of the ref. 5500 and the numerous examples available on the market today, it is actually one of the cheapest fake Rolex models currently available.
What’s more, the huge majority of 34mm Rolex Air-King models can be found for under $5,000, giving you the option of either having a vintage or modern watch. All Rolex Air-King models produced up until the collection’s releasement in 2016 have case diameters of 34mm, meaning that the vast majority of references from the collection’s entire history will be on the table at a very inexpensive price.

May considers quitting as federal Green leader over anti-Israel vote Michael D. Reid / Times Colonist

Elizabeth May says she is weighing whether she should quit as leader of the federal Green Party because of its weekend vote supporting sanctions against Israel.
B.C. Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver is also speaking out against the federal party’s resolution.
May, MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands, said she is struggling with whether she can continue as leader in light of her party’s vote in favour of an anti-Israeli policy during its convention in Ottawa on the weekend.
She said she is not necessarily leaning toward quitting, but it’s an option she is considering.
In an interview Tuesday, she said she was stunned by the vote and described what happened at the convention as ‘an aberration’ caused by abandonment of the usual consensus decision-making process. The hastily adopted policy could draw accusations of anti-Semitism, she said, and she hopes to have Green Party members reconsider.
Convention delegates voted to endorse the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, also known as BDS. Supporters of BDS are calling for boycotts and sanctions over the way Israel has dealt with Palestinians.
May said that while she voted against the resolution, she doesn’t want to ‘demonize’ groups that support BDS. ‘I think it’s a terrible idea and I don’t think it’s going to advance the cause of Palestinians,’ she said. ‘One of my options is to step down as leader because that would be a way of triggering a convention.’
The resolution was approved using Robert’s Rules of Order rather than consensus decision-making and that greatly abbreviated the time for debating, she said.
May said she is looking forward to vacationing with her family and going off the grid ‘in a place far removed from politics.’ ‘It almost sounds absurd that my sense of purpose and commitment to continue as leader of the Green Party has been thrown into crisis by Robert’s Rules of Order,’ she said. ‘I hope after a couple of nights of being able to sleep well, it will become clearer to me what I should do.’
Former Nanaimo-Ladysmith Green Party candidate Paul Manly said he hopes May remains as leader. ‘I think it would be really unfortunate for her to leave based on this,’ said Manly, adding he felt the resolution was being misconstrued by the media as a boycott of Israel. ‘This has nothing to do with ordinary Israeli citizens or companies in Israel. It’s a boycott of companies that profit from illegal settlements.’
Jo-Ann Roberts, who ran for the Green Party in Victoria, also said she wants May to remain as leader. Roberts didn’t go to the convention because she was attending a wedding.
‘I truly hope Elizabeth can find a way to stay on as leader. But, in order for that to happen, she would have to feel that there is a way for the party to make changes to its recent resolution on BDS,’ Roberts said. ‘I have always known Elizabeth to be a person of principle and integrity. She will try and find a way to resolve this issue, but if she can’t, then the party risks losing its most valuable asset.’
Weaver said in a statement the vote supporting BDS ‘represents a significant step away’ from B.C. Green Party values.
‘I think the Green Party of Canada needs to take a careful look at their policy process and ask themselves how a policy that goes against Green Party values could have been allowed on the floor of a convention,’ he said.
‘BDS is a politically motivated movement that damages any attempt at peace in the Middle East by assigning blame to one party. It risks increasing tension and does not represent a responsible or thoughtful approach to a difficult international issue.’
