Fake Rolex watch VS replica Breitling watch

We hear “What is a better watch Breitling or Rolex?” more often than you think and it can be answered several ways depending on the context of the question.” So let’s answer all of them, shall we?

We are here to address some key questions that you’re probably asking yourself when comparing Rolex VS Breitling. These two luxury brands are both very popular and are often considered when looking for a luxury watch from a well-known Swiss watchmaker. You may be considering a purchase and want to find out what is a better watch Breitling or Rolex. Both brands produce some really great watches. That being said, in the case of Breitling VS Rolex, let’s find out if it’s Rolex or Breitling that is the best brand for you.

For your convenience, we created two buttons that link to each brand should you wish to visually compare their products while reading this comparison. Clicking on either one of the buttons will open a new tab so you can see them side by side.

Which Brand is Better, Rolex or Breitling?
There are 16 watch brands that rank in the top 50 Swiss brands. This will give you an idea of just how important watchmaking is in Switzerland as well as how big these brands really are. In terms of recognition, this is how Rolex VS Breitling compare.

Rolex Versus Breitling Comparison

Rolex is the #1 most recognizable Swiss watch brand with almost 100% brand recognition internationally and is actually the 3rd most recognized Swiss brand worldwide with only Nescafe and Nestle ahead of them in the 1st and 2nd position.

Breitling Replica Breitling watch is the 15th most recognizable Swiss watch brand in the world. Is Breitling a major watch brand? Yes! Very major but most people recall the Rolex brand more than Breitling.

So in terms of how many comments you’ll get if you wore each watch, chances are, you will hear “Hey, Nice Rolex!” more often since a higher percentage of people (many of which are not “watch people” per se) will remember Rolex compared to Breitling. However, anyone who knows anything at all about watches would know Breitling is a superb watch brand.

Rolex Cheap Prices start at about twice the price of the cheapest Breitling. At the moment, the cheapest new Rolex would be the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm men’s watch which starts at about $6,000 followed by the Rolex Datejust 31mm ladies watches which cost only about $200 more. They use automatic calibers which are purely mechanical movements and are all COSC certified chronometers. They also have the Superlative Chronometer designation.

Breitling Prices start at less than half the price of a Rolex. With more affordable watches such as the men’s 45mm Breitling Colt Skyracer which is powered by a COSC certified Breitling SuperQuartz Caliber 74 movement for about $2,000. Their mechanically powered automatic watches Such as the Chronomat Colt Automatic 44mm Start at an MSRP of about $3,240.

Let’s compare apples with apples though. Rolex doesn’t make quartz watches, period. They pride themselves on only manufacturing mechanical watches which are considered more prestigious by watch lovers and collectors the world over. Yes, there used to be quartz Rolexes in the past. The Rolex Oysterquartz was last featured in their catalog in 2001 but ever since that last run, they have scrapped the idea and instead focused on producing only high-end and high-precision mechanical calibers for their watches.

Breitling or Rolex: Which Holds Value Best?

Is Breitling a good watch? Yes. An excellent watch. There is a direct correlation though between the value of a brand, the recognition of a brand and the resale value. While there are some watches that have high resale value for other reasons such as the rarity or iconic status of a watch; as a general rule, the better the brand the more you’ll get back when trying to sell it. This is true with most products, not just watches.

In terms of the street value of Rolex watches, you really can’t paint an answer with a broad brush. However, in terms of the percentage of what you originally paid for a Rolex or Breitling versus what you can sell it for, you will usually get more when reselling your Rolex watches compared to reselling your Breitling watch. It’s almost a given every time. What’s better than a Rolex? In terms of a watch’s average resale value? Nothing.

Now, as to why you’d want to sell a Rolex or Breitling watch? Beats me. However, let’s look at common reasons why some people would (or wouldn’t) buy a Breitling or a Rolex watch.

They have a reputation for being very professional watches like the Breitling Navitimer 01 which is designed for aeronauts such as pilots, astronauts, military personnel, search and rescue operations and more
Breitling even has a few smartwatches such as the Exospace B55 watches which are smartwatches designed with special smart features for pilots and aerospace professionals
Breitling has a watch Called the Breitling Emergency with a distress beacon and locator which is great if emergencies arise
They are substantially more affordable than Rolexes
There are literally thousands of models from which to choose
They have quite a few special edition watches and limited edition watches
Breitling has several different rubber strap options available and you can have a rubber strap on any watch of theirs. Whereas for now, Rolex only has a few rubber strap options found on in the Yachtmaster series and have a few Rolex Daytonas on a rubber strap.
Breitling has quartz models which offer more precision and require less maintenance than mechanical watches

They are a very major watch brand but not as much of a well-known watch brand as Rolex
They usually don’t hold the same resale value as Rolex watches
They don’t produce as many super high-priced blingy models as Rolex (if that’s what you’re looking for)
While watch connoisseurs would recognize a Breitling as an amazing watch and a highly respected brand that offers both mechanical and quartz watches, some watch connoisseurs, who usually marvel at the micromechanics have a tendency to sing the praises of brands that exclusively offer purely mechanical watches. This isn’t necessarily a con in any way since there are also many people who prefer quartz watches but it should nonetheless be mentioned.
As you can see from the above pros and cons that through its unique product line, Breitling has positioned its brand in the luxury watch market as a manufacturer that produces watches for professionals. Some even have special features tailored to specific situations. They have many high-quality tool watches that are customizable with different types of bands. They are competitively priced.

They are the most recognized brand of luxury watches in the world
They have, in general, a better resale value than most luxury watch brands
They have many blingy models with diamond bezels, pavé dials (faces paved with diamonds), precious metals of all sorts …if you’re into that
Many innovations are patented by Rolex such as their Parachrom blue, Osterflex bracelets, Oysterlock, Everose gold (rose gold) alloy, Cerachrom bezel inserts, Triplock locking crown, and more
Rolex makes quite a few iconic watches such as the Rolex Submariner and the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, Rolex Explorer, Sea-Dweller and more
Their mechanical watches are all Superlative Chronometers which are highly accurate and precise mechanical movements with a minimum precision of -2/+2 seconds per day

They are usually less affordable than Breitlings
You can’t choose the exact strap the way you can with Breitling
They don’t have as many special edition watches and limited edition watches
Breitling has several different rubber strap options more than Rolex
As of yet, Rolex doesn’t offer any smartwatches nor have they alluded to the idea that they ever will

Replica Vacheron Constantin VS Fake Rolex

Replica Vacheron Constantin is the oldest watch brand in the world. They have been making high-end timepieces since 1755. That’s 150 years longer than Rolex (since 1905) which gives you some context as to how old.

Fake Rolex is the largest manufacturer of luxury watches in the world and cranks out an estimated 2,000 watches per day. Does Rolex’s production output compensate for Vacheron Constantin’s 150 year head start?

The one thing that is for certain is that both brands produce unbelievably well-made watches. While Rolex watches is the most famous luxury watch brand in the world today, Vacheron Constantin has some special credentials to call their own. Aside from being the oldest watch manufacturer in the world, they also produced the most complicated watch in the world, the double-dialed VC 57260 with an outstanding 57 complications. It has a value which is estimated at $8M.

Vacheron Constantin or Rolex
Who makes better watches?

To understand where this question is coming from, you should first ask yourself:
“What makes one watch better than another watch to me?”

There are features, specifications and characteristics which you value in a watch and oftentimes they may be different than what someone else finds most important.

In short, they both do. For some, Vacheron makes better watches because they may be looking for a high complication watch. For others, Rolex makes better watches because they are looking for watches with maximum resale value or a watch that everyone will recognize as a luxurious brand.

In terms of straight up horology know-how, the answer looks like it’s leaning towards Vacheron Constantin. Simply because the extra 150 years of experience that they have over Rolex puts VC in the category of Haute Horlogerie / High Horology (watches with very high complications).

In terms of brand recognition and resale value, the better one would have to be Rolex. Rolex produces many very well made, prestigious watches that hold their resale value (on average) more than any other brand. So as you can see they are both special watches in their own way.Start by asking yourself the real question: “What qualities am I looking for in a watch?”
Which Watch Brand is Better: Vacheron Constantin or Rolex?
Regarding brand recognition, VC isn’t nearly as world-famous as Rolex. The average layman wouldn’t know about Vacheron Constantin the way they would know about Rolex watches. Nonetheless, they are still high up there in the top 50 Swiss brands. Rolex is the most recognized brand of Swiss Watches in the world. Vacheron is #15 on the list of the most recognized Swiss watch brands.

ReplicaRolex VS Replica Jaeger-LeCoultre

Rolex VS Jaeger-LeCoultre: What’s Better?

As a brand known for “haute-horlogerie” (high horology), JLC is in a different class of watch than a Rolex. Rolex is all the way at the top of the food chain as the most recognizable luxury watch brand in the world. JLC is the 36th most recognized Swiss brand name in the world and the 14th most famous Swiss watch brand. This is still very impressive in terms of brand recognition but pales in comparison to the amount of people that hear the name Rolex and instantly think of fancy watches.

It’s no big secret that Rolex produces excellent watches, that’s one of the reasons they are so famous but don’t let Rolex’s fame fool you though. Among watch connoisseurs, Jaeger-LeCoultre is considered a top-notch brand. JLC was a household name long before Rolex was ever in the picture. It’s a brand that is rich in watchmaking history, at the top of their game and in many cases, possibly more impressive than Rolex.

If your objective is to impress a watch collector with your understanding of horology and watchmaking history, certainly go with the JLC, and if you can afford it, get a model with high complications. It’s just a finer type of watch from a more exclusive brand. However, if you simply aim to impress the average layman, you’re better off with a Rolex since a smaller percentage of everyday people recognize the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand.

With the exception of the Master Compressor series (above, left) which is built tough as nails, many people that have owned both brands claim that the Rolex’s sporty watches from series such as Sea-Dweller, Explorer or Deep Sea, for example, are better suited for a very active lifestyle that includes extreme adventurers, heavy sports or overall high-speed athleticism. In fact, in some of the Rolex ads, they even brag about how no human can withstand the kind of abuse that Rolex watches go through when being tested, but they do it anyway.

A JLC is an excellent watch and a very respected brand. They are also known as one of the most creative and inventive watchmakers in the industry with their high complication watches and innovative designs.

JLC was established in 1833 and had almost a 65-year head start on Rolex in terms of watchmaking experience. In the world of watchmaking, a lot can happen in sixty-five years. In terms of high-horology, JLC is considered a more prestigious brand. Some would even place their craftsmanship up there with the likes of a Vacheron Constantin, A Lange & Sohne or even a Patek. In fact, Jaeger LeCoultre has produced hundreds of in-house movements over the years and continues to provide calibers to some of the best and brightest names in the watch industry as well.

Replica Jaeger-LeCoultre also has some rigorous testing which lasts 1000 hours. That being said, if you think you might bang it up, a Rolex in most cases is better suited for your lifestyle but if you’re commited to buy a JLC despite having a very active lifestyle, go for any model in the Master Compressor series.

Reverso – Introduced in 1931 and the series accounts for up to 40% of their watches.
Master Ultra Thin
Master Compressor
Master Control
Geophysic
Duomètre

Let’s start with their noteworthy trifecta; the Hybris Mechanica 55 (JLC’s most complicated wristwatches with 26 complications), Hybris Mechanica Gyrotourbillon & Hybris Mechanica à Triptyque. This trilogy houses a mind-blowing amount of complications for a wristwatch, by any standards. Other noteworthy complicated JLC watches are the Duomètre à Chronographe (2008 watch of the year winner), Gyrotourbillon 1, Spherical Tourbillon, Reverso Gyrotourbillon.

Which is a Better Brand, Rolex or JLC?
Replica Rolex is by far a more famous brand so you will turn more heads wearing a Rolex. Jaeger-LeCoultre, on the other hand, is an older and oftentimes more respected brand in the industry with a more colorful history and more tricks up their sleeve than Rolex. They are known in the watchmaking industry as a brand that takes watchmaking to a whole new level and is always up to challenging themselves to raise the bar. Many of the best brands use their movements to this day. They have made numerous innovations over the years and never stop to impress the industry with their ingenuity.

This would depend on what you wish to achieve with your replica watch. If you are looking for a high-end timepiece that you can wear each day and not have to worry about it breaking due to a rough, active lifestyle, Rolex may be your thing. If you’re the type of person that when people zig, you zag… Let’s say, for example, you already have a few nice watches and want something more exotic from a well-respected brand, possibly something with high complications that not everyone and your next door neighbor already has. Something that shows your sophistication and a fascination for the esoteric micro-mechanics of watchmaking, a Jaeger-LeCoultre may be a better choice.

COMPARISON: Rolex Sky-Dweller VS Rolex Day-Date from Replica Watch

Use this comprehensive comparison to find out which one of these two replica watches is best for you.

We are constantly asked questions about the differences between different types of watches from the most popular luxury watch brands as well as the differences between certain watches within a specific brand. Our various watch comparisons are made to enable you to make an educated and informed purchase decision about a watch by putting the information objectively in an easy to read format.

Finding a good looking Rolex doesn’t involve much research. The key is to find a model that can compliment and possibly enhance your existing way of life. That takes a little research.

The two Rolex wristwatches that we will compare today are the Rolex Sky-Dweller 42mm VS the Rolex Day-Date 40mm. At a glance, these watches look slightly similar but in fact, they are very different. Below is a summary of the things that these two watches have in common and the pros and cons describing the features that make each one unique. For your convenience, you can use the buttons below to view the two collections now. Otherwise, proceed with the comparison below.

Common Features
Both of these Rolex watches have a fluted bezel.
Impressive power reserve, the Day-Date at approx. 70 hours and the Sky-Dweller has a 2-hour advantage at 72 hours.
Date function/complication.
Available in the following precious metals: 18kt Yellow Gold, 18kt Everose (Rolex’s proprietary version of rose gold), and  18kt White Gold. The Day-Date even has a few models in Platinum.
Rolex patented “Triplock” crown which locks the crown down to the Oyster case as tight as a submarine hatch.
Cyclopse Date magnifier, a distinctly Rolex feature.
Water resistance of 100m/330ft

The most impressive feature of the Rolex Sky-Dweller is the added complications. The difference in the Rolex Sky-Sweller is that it has 3 complications; a Date function, an Annual Calendar, and a Dual Time Zone / GMT. While the Rolex Day-Date only has a Day-Date function. The Sky-Dweller was made for world travelers who need to easily keep track of two time zones and make changes to the time when entering different zones with the push of a button. It contains between 11 and 14 different patented technologies depending on the model. See the pros & cons.

Power Reserve
The Sky-Dweller has a slightly better power reserve of 72 hours compared to the Day-Date’s 70 hours.
GMT / Dual Time Zone Complication
Possibly why it’s called sky-dweller. People that fly a lot will often buy watches with this feature.
Annual Calendar Function
The Saros Annual Calendar displays the month through a small window above the hour numerals.
Ring Command Bezel
The Sky-Dweller features a unique bezel. The bezel is instrumental in setting the time, date/month and dual time zone. Rotating the bezel to a specific position of a watch function allows changes to be made to that function via the crown.

Price Tag
There’s a slightly higher price tag for an entry level Sky-Dweller
Material Options
Not available in platinum like the Day-Date
Size and Style Options
The Sky-Dweller series has fewer styles & sizes available compared the Day-Date collection
Less Bling
The Day-Date collection has many models that are dripping with sparkling diamonds if you’re looking for that over-the-top bling look. The Sky-Dweller doesn’t

The Day-Date is not as complicated a timepiece as the Sky-Dweller. It has many styles and is very popular. However, it doesn’t offer a GMT function which allows you to display the time in two different time zones. It is a dressy watch and has some higher end models that feature Rolex’s Ice Blue dial which is only available on Platinum Rolexes.

Price Tag
Slightly Lower Price Tag for an entry level Day-Date watch compared to the Sky-Dweller
Day Function
The Day-Date has a function that shows the day of the week at the 12 o’clock position
Dial Options
The Day-Date has many watches with the new innovative dial that has a patterned motif giving the dial a unique textured look.
Styles
More Choices of Colors & Materials including many models that incorporate diamonds into the design.

Power Reserve
The Day-Date’s power reserve (how long the watch will run on a full wind when not worn) is 2 hours less than the Sky-Dweller. While this is not a huge difference it needs to be noted.
Bezel
The Day-Date has a fixed fluted (wave pattern) bezel which doesn’t move whereas the Sky Dweller has a bi-directional bezel with added functionality.

Replica Rolex VS Replica Panerai

We are often asked “What’s better Rolex or Panerai?” and depending on the context, it can be answered any number of ways. The purpose of this comparison is to compare and benchmark a few things to help you determine which is the right brand for you. This comparison will include but is not limited to: Rolex VS Panerai: Which is Best?

There’s no hiding the fact that when comparing the international popularity of Rolex and Panerai, Rolex is the most popular luxury watch company in the world. They have a 100% international brand recognition which in terms of their branding and marketing puts them in a different class than most watchmakers.

Rolex has numerous to call their own. These innovations span across many areas of watchmaking. Materials such as Parachrom, an anti-magnetic material used in their springs, Cerachrom a highly scratch resistant ceramic prevents UV rays from discoloring their bezels. Rolex also has proprietary alloys such as Rolesor; a combination of gold and steel which they utilize in their two-tone watches, Everose which is their own tone of rose gold.

Rolex has great brand recall so you will probably get more comments and/or compliments from total strangers when you wear one. Some people like wearing conversation starters and buy a Rolex specifically because they want that type of reaction but then again there are those that prefer to be more discreet and will wear other high-end brands that are less known to avoid this type of interaction.

Rolex has the highest resale value in the industry and in the event that you wished to trade up or sell your Rolex, you can expect more of your original purchase value with this brand compared to any other. This is not a broad brush statement but rather a statistic based on averages. Of course, there are things that can influence the resale value such as condition, model #, the supply and demand for your particular Rolex watch.

The Rolex manufacturers crank out about 2,000 Rolexes per day. They have many series and collections which suit different activities and lifestyles. Rolex also has produced hundreds of their own calibers over the years. Around the world, you will find a huge amount of pre-owned and vintage models which people often collect, many which may even appreciate in value.

Rolex has created numerous watches over the years that has gained iconic status and their brand history runs pretty deep although not as far back as some other brands.

Submariner, Cosmograph Daytona, Day-Date, Datejust, Deepsea, Yacht-Master, Milgauss.

This is a company that has been around for a while but only got noticed on an international level fairly recently. 1995 was the year that changed everything for Panerai. It was the year when Sylvester Stallone was in Rome for the action movie “Daylight” and spotted the (at the time) oversized watch. Rumor is that he approached Panerai and asked that they do a limited edition run which they called Slytech after his nickname. This caught the attention of an international watch conglomerate which soon scooped up the business and put it on the international market with its own very exclusive distribution network.

Boldly designed as expected of Italian designs, they tend to have a larger than life look. Panerai watches are big and there are people that prefer a high quality watch that also commands a presence on the wrist. Because of the oversized design, the watch has great visibility.

The Luminor series which includes the Panerai Luminor Marina and Luminor Marina 8 Days, GMT, Power Reserve, Regatta, LAB-ID, Luminor Submersible Carbotech and of course the very popular Radiomir series,

In-House Calibers: Panerai

Panerai is often credited as the catalyst for the trending larger sized watches in the industry
Once supplied watches to the Egyptian navy.
Big watches are one of the signatures of Panerai
Was the the Italian Navy’s watch & instrument supplier.
A cult-like following of superfans which they call their “Paneristi” (Perhaps as in Paparazzi’s?)
Panerai never produces enough to meet the demand.

In-House Calibers: Panerai also produced in-house calibers which include the OP I, and Caliber P.5000, to name a few.

Choosing between these two watch brands isn’t always easy since they both make excellent watches and they are both respected brands. It all boils down to the features and aspects of the watch (or the brand) that you value the most. Most people would advise looking at what you want your watch to do for you first, only then, once you’ve figured out what specifications you are looking for; start shopping the various brands that have watches that can offer these features.

For example, if you are a diver, there are many brands that offer tool watches for divers. Compare the various brands and models from each brand that offer what you need. Then decide on which one suits your look and fits your target price or budget.

Replica Rolex Daytona VS Rolex GMT: Which is the Best

We create detailed and comprehensive watch comparisons. These insightful comparisons are straight to the point and done in an easy-to-read format to quickly determine which one of these two Replica Rolex watches is the best for them.

Both the GMT and the Cosmograph Daytona use an in-house Rolex movement.
Both watches have a decent power reserve. The Cosmograph Daytona has a slightly higher one though.
Both have a “Cerachrom” bezel insert which is made of a very durable and hardened ceramic that is resistant to scratches. Additionally, Cerachrom is anti-corrosive and its color doesn’t fade when exposed to UV rays for extended periods of time.
Both have the Easylink 5mm adjustment extension link.
Patented “Triplock” crown which locks the crown down the Oyster case making it as tight as a submarine hatch.
Bracelet fitted with the patented Easylink 5mm extension link allowing a quick 5mm extension or reduction to the bracelet size without the need of tools.
Both offer water resistance of 100m/330ft
Both of these Rolex watches have an Oyster bracelet

The most useful feature of the watches in this series is the Dual Time Zone function of the GMT complication (AKA Zulu and Universal Time Zone) . This feature is not available on the Daytona Collection. It’s a very useful function which allows you to quickly see the time in another time zone. See the pros & cons.

GMT Complication
This complication allows you to see the time in a second time zone
Cost
Price starts at about half the price of a Daytona
Bezel
The bezel rotates both ways. Several widely collected two colored bezel options i.e. the “Pepsi” dial(Red & Blue), the “Coke” (Red & Black), and the “Batman” dial (Black & Blue)
Visibility
More luminous material is used on the GMT

Styles
Not as many styles from which to choose
Material Options
Not as many choices of precious metals (i.e. 18k yellow gold, Platinum, Rose Gold)
Complications
There’s no chronograph function like the Daytona series
Strap Options
Doesn’t have the choice of a leather strap
Bling
No diamond models like the Daytona Cosmograph series

Aside from the greater number of style options, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona offers something that the GMT won’t which is a stopwatch function known as a Chronograph complication. The pushers (buttons) on the top and bottom of the winding crown is the way that the chronograph is started, stopped and reset on the Rolex Cosmograph. For some this has a functional value. A chronograph is in general considered a sporty watch since it is often used to track best time by racing professionals and enthusiasts.

How is the Replica Rolex Cosmograph Daytona collection different from the GMT series?

Diamond Indexes on some of the Daytona models
Some Daytona watches have leather straps
Chronometer complication which gives you a stopwatch/timer function
Ice blue dials are available on the Platinum Daytona
More precious metal options such as Everose (18k rose gold) 18k yellow gold, 18k white gold and platinum with the Daytona
More options for dial colors such as Blue, Chocolate dial, Mother of Pearl, Rose Gold options
More choices of hour markers such as baguette diamond, Arabic numerals, applied etc.

Styles
More styles from which to choose
Materials
More precious metal options such as 18k yellow gold, white gold, rose gold or platinum
Function
Stopwatch function of a chronograph complication
Straps
Choice of bracelet or leather watch band

Cost
An entry level Daytona is twice price of an entry level GMT
No GMT
Doesn’t have a GMT / Dual time zone function
Visibility
Less luminous fill used means less night time visibility
Bezel
No two color bi-directional rotating bezel options like the GMT

Side-By-Side Comparison of the Rolex Daytona VS Rolex GMT Specifications & Features

Some of the factors that people who are considering either of these watches is the need to gauge the functional value of a watch with the GMT/Dual Time Zone function instead of a watch like the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona which has a Chronograph complication.

The GMT complication is useful for those who call or travel frequently to different time zones and need to see the local time with just a quick glance. For people with this type of lifestyle, the GMT would be a great option.

Alternatively, if the style is of the essence and having more options is something you are looking for, the Daytona may be a better option. It’s best to decide which features are most important to you in order to determine your ideal Rolex.

Replica Rolex VS Fake Cartier

Both of these watchmakers are recognized and well respected. So what makes these two brands different from one another? How does someone find out which is the best brand for them?

Luckily, the watch experts at watch4usale.com are intimately familiar with both brands and can give you all the answers. This benchmark will compare Replica Rolex VS Fake Cartier to help you determine which is best for you.

Replica Rolex watch is a brand that will definitely draw attention to your wrist all over the world. Rolex is the #1 most recognized Swiss watch brand with almost 100% international brand recognition and many horological innovations to call their own. If you’re looking to start conversations with total strangers and have a watch that people recognize as a high-end watch, this brand may be perfect for you. Some people, on the other hand, are looking to make a more discreet statement and will opt for other high-end brands to avoid extra attention.

Brand recognition Rolex is the most recognized luxury watch in the world
Accuracy
Rolex watches go through very rigorous testing to provide above and beyond accuracy compared to most mechanical watches including the already highly respected COSC chronometers.
Resell Value
Rolexes have excellent resale values compared to Cartier watches.
Selection
Rolex has an incredibly large selection of watches that are in production and even more that are available on the open market.

Case Shapes
For the most part, every modern Rolex uses a round case shape. Any other shaped Rolex is very rare. Rolex used to make a few square-shaped watches such as ref 4470 and many of the older Cellini models were in fact square or rectangular in shape. At this point, almost all the modern Rolex watches are mostly round, whereas Cartier has many case shapes from round and oval to cushion-shaped, tonneau, and of course, the many square-shaped or rectangular-shaped Tank watches
Price
An entry-level Rolex has a list price of over twice the price of an entry-level Cartier watch, making them more exclusive and less attainable to some.
Quartz Watches
it’s very rare to find any quartz-powered Rolex watches (if that’s what you’re into). Most people buying a Rolex appreciate the mechanical brilliance of a watch and aren’t looking for a battery-powered Rolex but if you were, they would be hard to find as very few were ever made. Cartier, on the other hand, has many.

Fake Cartier watch was a world-renowned jeweler before being recognized as a major player in the watch industry. Their brand is listed as one of Forbes’s top brands worldwide and with their strong influence in high fashion, made wristwatches mainstream at a time when everyone carried pocket watches. Since then the watchmaker has produced many popular collections such as their iconic tank series. Many consider Cartier as more of a fashion brand than a luxury watchmaker. However, Cartier has made moves to change their opinions with numerous horological innovations and iconic watches.

Case Sizes
Cartier watches come in many sizes from the very tiny 28mm for ladies to the oversized 44mm for men, Rolex, on the other hand, does have smaller watches but they start at a slightly larger size of about 31mm and go up to about 42mm. In the safe zone when it comes to size.
Case Shapes
As mentioned earlier, Cartier watches come in just about every available shape so in terms of variety, there is plenty of variations from which to choose
Price
Cartier watches are significantly more affordable when compared to Rolex. Although both brands have watches that have a list price below the $6,000 price point, a Cartier can be bought at full MSRP for under $3,000 compared to the cheapest new Rolexes with $5,700 list prices
Quartz watches
Rolex doesn’t produce Quartz watches anymore. Years ago they gave it a go and decided against it after most likely realizing it would hurt their brand. Quartz models are for those that don’t care about the esotericism and micromechanics of a complicated mechanical watch and prefer the highest accuracy possible. A quartz (battery-powered) watch will be more accurate than a mechanical watch. Cartier produced many beautiful luxurious quartz watches as well as mechanical watches.

Brand Recognition
Basically, you’ll get more comments and turn more heads with a Rolex. Rolexes have a distinct look. It’s very easy to spot one whereas Cartier makes so many different styles, shapes, and sizes that it’s often harder to recognize. Cartier is a very well-known brand but can’t really compare with Rolex who is the world’s most recognized luxury watch brand. A lot also has to do with their brand positioning and production figures vs huge demand
Accuracy
While on the subject of accuracy, Cartier’s mechanical watches don’t have the same superior accuracy as Rolex. Rolex conducts very extensive testing on their watches and when they achieve the level of accuracy of +2/-2 seconds per day, they are given the designation Superlative Chronometer
Resell Value
Cartier watches don’t hold their value as well as Rolex but they are not terrible when it comes to resale compared to some other high-end watch brands
Selection
While Cartier manufactures watches in all sorts of shapes sizes and colors, with diamonds, without diamonds, in 18kt Rose Gold, 18kt Yellow Gold, 18kt White gold, Stainless Steel, and more; they don’t have nearly as many different models as Rolex.

Cheap “Pepsi” Rolex GMT Master II 116719 BLRO Review

Replica Rolex is the only expensive watch company that has not just one but two watches that are nicknamed after soft drink. Of course, we’re talking about the Rolex GMT Master II watches that have the split two color dials. This particular review is focused on one, the 18kt white gold 116719 BLRO with the blue and red bezel known as the “Pepsi” and if you got one of these watches then “You got the right stuff, baby!”

One of the things that differentiate the GMT Master II from the older GMT series is that Rolex implemented the Cerachrom bezel insert. The advantage if this new bezel is that it’s made of a highly scratch-resistant hardened ceramic material and it has UV repelling properties so that colors won’t fade when exposed to ultraviolet rays …even for a long duration.

In the olden days of watchmaking, when bezels were made entirely of metal, there were obvious challenges for Rolex to come up with this new ceramic material and Rolex had to really think outside of the box.

One can truthfully say that Rolex was never accused of was being uncreative with their manufacturing or lacking in the innovation department. They’re been consistently doling out new patents that improved watchmaking from the very beginning of their existence.

Another fine example of such innovation is the Rolex Easylink 5mm extension link found on the bracelet of this watch. This allows you to make a quick 5mm adjustment to the size of the bracelet to compensate when the wrist naturally expands and contracts with fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

You won’t find any surprises under the cap of this Pepsi though. The Rolex GMT Master II has its dependable Superlative Chronometer under the hood of this bad boy. The Rolex Caliber 3186, a 31 jewel movement, holds its power for approximately 50 hours and beats at a rate of 28,800 VPH.

Rolex has had two-tone bezels for over fifty years. From the older Rolex Pepsi bezels to the “Coke” bezel (which were red and black) to the very popular black and blue bezel model of the GMT Master II. It’s a tradition that I think will stick. In addition to soft drink names, this watchmaker has a few watches with superhero names in it such as the Hulk with a green bezel (come to think of it, they could have called it the Sprite Rolex or the Mountain Dew…) and of course, Batman with the blue and black bezel.

The Rolex GMT Master II “Pepsi” watch has a GMT complication also known as a dual time zone feature. You notice a red hand below? This is the GMT hand. It is a mechanism that allows you to see the time in two different time zones simultaneously. It is ideal for those globetrotting jet-setters that are always traveling to (or even calling) places in different time zones.

The Replica Rolex Pepsi GMT Master II is a 40mm watch and uses a patented “Triplock” crown that fastens the case as tightly as a submarine hatch. This keeps the movement, the Rolex caliber 3186 well protected. The 31-jewel movement has an accuracy of +2/-2 seconds per day which is phenomenal for a mechanical watch and it, therefore, has the designation of Superlative Chronometer.

One of the features of the movement which contributes to the enhanced accuracy is the magnetic resistance of Rolex’s blue Parachrom hairspring and the use of a Breguet overcoil (also known as the Breguet spiral) which keeps the balance spring in line and helps to compensate for lateral shocks. Its purpose is similar to Rolex’s patented Paraflex shock absorbers found in some of their other watches such as the Datejust II which has the caliber 3136 movements.

Just like a real Pepsi soft drink, the 116719BLRO is super sweet and it’s not your run-of-the-mill Rolex. It looks great on the wrist and has a unique look that will grab the attention of many. It’s solidly built and has practical features which include the date window with cyclops magnifier lens over the date and also has a GMT function.

In the meantime, have a look at the full specs of the Rolex 116719 BLRO and just for the sake of making a comparison we’ll place it next to the 116710 BLNR Rolex “Batman Dial” with the black and blue bezel.

Replica TAG Heuer VS Rolex

Considering watches from TAG Heuer or Rolex? Here’s an Eye-Opening Comparison & Brand Review that will explain the differences between TAG and Rolex.

Many of you have most likely heard of Replica Rolex watches before you even discovered Replica TAG Heuer watches. Both are respected brands in the Swiss watch industry and although some would say there is no comparison others may disagree from certain angles.

There are many first time buyers and curious shoppers that are trying to find out why a Rolex watch is usually more expensive than a TAG Heuer watch. People will ask us things like “Is Rolex better than a TAG Heuer? Is that why?” Well, we’ll not only address this question directly but we’ll also address just about any other context in which you can find this question.

While some assume that better means it’s a watch that has a better watch movement, there are others who are asking about the popularity of the brand itself. Some are asking about the warranty period while others are asking about the accuracy and precision of the watch itself or its resale value. See where this is going? Let’s compare Rolex and TAG Heuer side-by-side and address the most common contexts that this question can be found in.

From a mechanical point of view many would argue that Rolex has the upper hand seeing as they do all their watch and movements in-house and don’t outsource parts like TAG Heuer does on many of their watches nor do they use ébauche movements. These are semi-finished movements/calibers that act as a template of sorts and can be enhanced by watchmakers to accommodate a number of features or complications depending on the watch’s needs and the ébauches that are used to create it.

Rolex also made numerous horological innovations including the type of rotors that are found in automatic watches that we use today. They have also taken great strides in combatting electromagnetic interference which is a big enemy of mechanical watches.

Another interesting point to make is that TAG Heuer offers many non-mechanical watches known as Quartz watches which are battery powered and therefore don’t run on springs the way automatic watches and manual wind watches do. In terms of traditional watchmaking, this puts Rolex a grade above since they are more traditionalist and mechanical watches are considered to be higher-end because of the extra work it takes to create their mechanical movements.

Rolex also has a 3rd party, COSC certifies their movements and gives them the Chronometer designation for its accuracy and precision. Getting COSC certificates are pricey and because Rolex prices are more up-market, they can easily absorb these added expenses into their pricing strategy.

TAG Heuer, on the other end also has very accurate mechanical watches and their president even claimed that they can easily compare with a COSC Chronometer but to pass the savings on to their customers, they don’t test their movements with COSC and avoid the extra expense. It’s also important to note that TAG Heuer also has many quartz models that are battery powered movements which have higher accuracy than mechanical calibers.

One thing that Rolex does that adds value to their watch in terms of precision and accuracy is that after they receive a COSC certificate, they take the movement and place it inside a watch case and give it further testing in-house. A COSC certificate states that the movement is a Chronometer and was tested to have an accuracy of within -4/+6 seconds per day however, after Rolex’s in-house testing the watches have a new designation of Superlative Chronometer (which they also print on the dial of the watch) and this means they have an enhanced accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per day.

Let’s look at it from the brand perspective and see how they position against each other in the overall Swiss watch marketplace. There is a brand consultancy called Interbrand that puts out an annual list of the top 50 most popular Swiss brands in the world and a large percentage of these brands are watchmakers. Let’s see how the Swiss watchmakers rank on this list and how they compare to one another in terms of brand value and recognition.

TAG Heuer is the 12th most recognized watch brand from Switzerland and in 2016 had an estimated brand value of 76 Million CHF. This makes them the 34th most popular and valuable Swiss brand in the top 50.

Rolex is the #1 most recognized watch brand in the world. They are also one of the most valuable Swiss brands weighing in at #3 of the top 50 Swiss brands with an estimated brand value of 7.387 Billion CHF.

What does brand value mean? Well, say you bought a bottle of Coca-Cola brand cola and poured its contents into some generic store brand bottle. Would you be able to sell the same product under a different bottle at the same price as Coca-Cola? The brand itself adds tremendous value to a product. I am in no way implying that a TAG Heuer watch is the same as a Rolex watch on the inside, on the contrary, they are very different on the inside. It’s just to provide insight as to why certain things about Rolex are the way they are. For example, things like brand recognition, brand recall, resale value etc.

Neither one is. A watch is not an investment such as a mutual fund or even real estate. There is no point in looking at a luxury watch that way, it’s simply not true. A watch can be compared to a car in terms of investments, the moment you use it even once, it already dropped in value. Furthermore, people think of it as an asset but an asset actually generates money such as capital gains from SEC-registered securities or rental income from a property.

That’s not to say that there have never been certain watches that have appreciated in value for any number of reasons but the majority of the time they don’t. They do however hold a certain percentage of their original value. And this is one of the areas where Rolex is king. There is simply no other brand of watches that holds its value like Rolex.

There are several variables at play that contribute to the resale value such as the condition the watch is in. Does it come in its original box? Does it include any original documents & warranty card? Is it still within the warranty period? Is it a limited edition, a special edition or a numbered edition? Did some hot-shot celebrity wear it in a blockbuster movie such as a James Bond film and all of a sudden make it super famous? You get the idea.

TAG Heuer offers a 2 year warranty period on their watches. This is a pretty standard warranty period compared to most brands in the industry.

Before January 2015, Rolex offered a 2 year warranty period. After Jan 2015 it became a 5-year warranty. Possibly the longest in the industry.

We also get this question a lot. With all the things that are different about each of these brands, it’s usually about gauging the price of a watch against the features that it offers and finding out what about the watch is important to you.

Some want to pass it on as a family heirloom one day and therefore are looking for a watch with the better resale value, in which case a Rolex is probably best since they hold their value better than TAG Heuer.

Some may want a watch with a high complication such as a Tourbillon watch, in which case TAG Heuer just came out with possibly the most affordable high complication tourbillon watch on the market known as the Carrera Heuer 02T which is a stunning watch and affordably priced for the complicated mechanical featured that it offers.

Some might be looking for an amazing diver’s watch in which case the Rolex Sea Dweller or the more classic Submariner is probably a great fit because TAG Heuer isn’t exactly known for their excellent diver’s watches as much as they are for their Chronographs such as the Calibre Heuer 01, for example.
