The ultimate “go anywhere, do anything” fake watch depends heavily on the person that is doing the going anywhere, if you catch my drift. Therefore, rather than simply suggesting pieces that I believe would be fitting of the GADA name, we got the Time+Tide team together to showcase their different tastes and considerations when picking such the perfect replica watches. Let’s get started.
My pick: Fake Rolex Explorer 1016
This is the watch that inspired the whole article. I mean, just look at it! While I’m normally not too enamoured by luxury replica Rolex UK, especially their modern offerings, the Explorer 1016 has been my grail for a very, very long time. The 36mm case is perfectly proportioned for any scenario, the dial is simple enough for dressier occasions, and who can forget the incredible ads that featured this Swiss made fake Rolex?
It’s not flashy by any means, yet has enough vintage and historical appeal to be properly appreciated by fellow WIS of culture. My pick would be a gilt dial with a closed chapter ring, though I’ve got to admit that I wouldn’t be too upset with owning any one of the many iterations of this fantastic watch – Space Dweller, anyone? The unfortunate reality of the cheap replica Rolex 1016 is that the closer I get to it, the more it seems out of reach. Thanks, John Mayer.
Ricardo’s pick: Replica Omega Aqua Terra 38
The first time I crossed paths with an aaa quality fake Omega Aqua Terra, it was the 41mm version with the teak dial. The watch was stunning but the proportions felt off on my wrist.
Recently, I tried out the 38mm 1:1 fake Omega Seamaster ref. 220.10.38.20.03.001. Suddenly, the clouds parted and the heavens opened. This was perfection. Movement-wise, the METAS-certified Omega calibre 8800 is technically one of the best offerings under $10k. It’s built to withstand 15,000 gauss and provides an above-average 55 hours of power reserve. Add to that all the water resistance you would ever need at 150 metres.
Specifications aside, one of the best parts of the Swiss movement replica Omega has to be the dark blue dial (with colour-matched date wheel I might add). It works with pretty much everything. A green pair of Air Force 1s? Check. That new Supreme x North Face winter collab? Check. Its versatility knows no bounds.
