This week we pick some vintage Swiss made Rolex super clone watches.
1957 Rolex Explorer Ref. 6610 Super Clone Watches With RAF Provenance
Produced from 1955 to 1959 as the third dedicated 1:1 UK replica Rolex Explorer reference watches, the ref. 6610 is both historically important and harder to find than its successor, the ref. 1016. Yet, 6610s are somewhat forgotten about. The simple fact that these 36mm Explorers are not 1016s holds them back. When a reference number becomes as iconic as 1016 or 5513, similar or almost identical high quality super clone Rolex watches like the 6610 or 5512 become somewhat less desirable because they are not 1016s or 5513s. That’s a bit wordy but I trust that my point comes across.
As an owner of a gilt-dialed 1016, I cannot hide my fandom for luxury Rolex Explorer fake watches. With that, I am a huge fan and champion of the 6610 – frankly, I think the reference is massively undervalued. When a 6610 is in solid condition, like this one is, it is magical. There is an undeniable charm in the early details like the chapter ring, “OCC” text at six o’clock, and white seconds hand. This example is even further interesting as it has the larger, lollipop seconds hand – while a slight difference, this is a clear tip that you looking at a 6610 and not a 1016.
Up for sale at a small auction house in the UK, this early Explorer comes with some solid military provenance as well. We love best Rolex super clone watches with stories here at Hodinkee. According to the catalog note, this 6610 was owned by Warrant Officer Navigator First Class Leonard Hall of the Royal Air Force. During his time with the RAF, stationed in the Middle East, Leonard Hall flew transport planes like the Vickers Valetta, Hastings, and Dakota. The Rolex for sale here was a gift from the Sheikh of Oman – a thanks for being a part of his transport crew. Included with the Rolex copy watches wholesale UK are Mr. Hall’s flying log books, photos, a letter from his son, the consignor to this auction, and more provenance items backing up the story. Having an Explorer is cool, having an Explorer originally owned and worn by someone who used the watch to do just that, explore, is even cooler.
This historically important Rolex Explorer is lot 141 of Hansons Hertfordshire’s Hanson Ross November Antiques, Collectables, Jewellery, Wine & Spirits auction on Friday, November 8, at 5 AM EST. The pre-sale estimate is £8,000 to £12,000.
1967 Rolex Zephyr Ref. 1008 Replica Watches With Box And Papers
The Zephyr is a Rolex model that has been lost to time and I can imagine it will stay there. If we were to see Rolex re-introduce the Zephyr in the 21st Century, I would be extremely surprised. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a great vintage perfect Rolex super clone watches. Some things are just best left alone in my opinion and this niche sport Rolex is one of them.
Rolex introduced the Zephyr in the 1950s with ref. 6582 and the model soon evolved into the ref. 1008. At its core, this model is a spin on the standard Oyster Perpetual with two-tone features, a very distinct faceted finish on the bezel, and a cross-hair dial. The look is really unlike any other Rolex replica watches for men. Carroll Shelby, legendary auto racer, designer, and tuner, favored the Zephyr, wearing his for a 1959 Sports Illustrated spread. Given the age of these China online super clone Rolex watches and dials with a large expanse of “dead space,” it is actually quite hard to find them in good condition. See those lume plots just sitting all by themselves, one drop from waist height could result in the loss of a few of those pips.
Of course, I wouldn’t be featuring a Zephyr if it wasn’t in really outstanding condition and this one is. Plus, it is complete with its original box and papers which is always nice to have. In fact, it is a “real” full set with both the chronometer certificate as well as the Rolex guarantee – even better.
This best quality fake Rolex Zephyr watches is on auction over at Loupe This. The current bid price at publication is $4,550 and the auction is set to end on Tuesday, November 5, at 12:15 PM EST.
