Testing the Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot’s Travel Time

watches

The Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot’s Travel Time was designed to be the ideal companion for travelers. Will this new watch – inspired by the lesser-known Patek Philippe Pilot’s replica Watches – meet that requirement? We explore the watch in this in-depth test from the WatchTime archives. Original photo by Patrick Mokesch.
Patek Philippe has reinvented an aspect of itself with the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time. When the Geneva-based company launched its first white gold watch in 2015, it received great attention. A unique specimen, unlike the much-loved sporty models in its Nautilus and Aquanaut collections, Patek Philippe is primarily known for its classic designs.
Unlike the white gold version with its matte blue dial and light-colored case, 2018 rose gold model emphasizes elegance – supported by the warm tones of the case, the sunburst motif on the dial and the gradient of color tones from brown to black, as well as other details such as the rose gold numerals with luminescent coating and the rose gold pronged clasp. These features combine to present a unique and elegant pilot’s copy watch.
This so-called “GMT” function, which is very common in watches, usually has a dedicated 24-hour hand that is adjusted in hourly steps via the crown. If you can adjust the 12-hour hand independently, it proves to be more practical for travel.
Patek Philippe has found a solution to these problems. Essentially, this involves two pushers for travel time, which adjust the local time in both directions, as well as two day/night indicators on the dial, allowing both times to be read visually in 12-hour format. In addition, the date also advances in both directions when setting the local time, so no correction is needed here either.
This is not the first time this movement has been used for such a function – it has powered the classic Calatrava model and was used in the Aquanaut and Nautilus in combination with a chronograph. Now, for the first time, Patek Philippe has equipped the Calatrava Pilot with a system designed to prevent accidental adjustment of the time zone. The correction button can be locked in position by turning it a quarter of a turn clockwise. If turning a quarter turn is too complicated, it is also perfectly possible to leave the pushers in an unlocked position.

Outstanding audacity the Ladies’ Guild

watches

From the very beginning, Rolex has recognized that women need not only sophisticated watches but also durable and precise watches. Inspiring women have always been an important part of the Rolex story. In 1927, British swimmer Mercedes Gleitze became Rolex’s first ambassador, swimming across the English Channel with an Oyster watch around her neck.
Since the very beginning of the brand, they have inspired Rolex to create and develop exceptional timepieces to support their quest for power. The Lady-Datejust is a tribute to those who have dared to be first. It embodies precision while combining classic elegance with technical performance.
Launched in 1957, the Lady-Datejust concentrates all the characteristics of the Datejust, the Rolex symbol synonymous with style and technical performance since its introduction in 1945. the Lady-Datejust is a feminine version of this calendar chronometer that carries on the elegance of the fake Rolex Datejust in a smaller size that is Perfect for slender wrists.
With a sunray-finished dial, paved with diamonds or made of mother-of-pearl – the Lady-Datejust offers many options, and wearers can easily find a version that reflects their personality. Depending on the version, the Lady-Datejust is available with a domed, fluted, or diamond-set bezel.
Depending on the version, the Lady-Datejust is available with a three-piece link Oyster bracelet with a folding Oyster clasp; a five-piece link Jubilee bracelet, specially designed for the Datejust in 1945, and a three-piece link President bracelet with a crown clasp. A concealed linking system ensures a seamless visual articulation between the bracelet and the case.
The Lady-Datejust is equipped with the caliber 2236, a self-winding mechanical movement developed and manufactured by Rolex. Its construction makes it exceptionally precise and reliable. 2236 is equipped with a silicon Syloxi hairspring produced under Rolex’s patent. Resistant to magnetic fields, the Syloxi hairspring offers great stability in the face of temperature variations and remains 10 times more accurate than a conventional hairspring in the face of shocks. Its patented geometry ensures its regularity in any position.
Like all Rolex replica watches, the Rolex Datejust has been awarded the Super Chronometer certification. This designation attests to the fact that every watch that leaves the brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests by Rolex in its laboratories to its standards. The green seal symbolizes the status of the Super Chronometer on each Rolex watch, which comes with a five-year international guarantee.

Coming Discontinued Rolex watches

watches

Although it gives us a new reference number, the Air-King Ref. 116900 is not so much retired as replaced, with the latest Ref. 126900 taking over. The outgoing watch has been around since 2016, a comeback after a brief complete hiatus in 2014, and its run dates back to the middle of the Second World War.
But, longest-serving name in the replica Rolex catalog or not, the Air-King has always been a very popular name, gaining far less of a following than the Submariner or the Daytona. In fact, due to its status as the forgotten Rolex, many predicted that the model would be quietly phased out of existence this year. Instead, it was granted an upgrade, with the new reference benefiting from a redesigned case with crown protection, a thinner bezel resulting in a larger dial, and a new generation of Cal. 3230.
The original Yachtmaster collection has received much attention lately; this year is no exception. It is available in two sizes, in a range of metals and bracelets, including Rolex’s first attempt at a rubber strap, the Oysterflex.
Interestingly, the most understated variant, the Ref. 116689 in white gold with platinum bezel, is the one that was eliminated this year. Why fake Rolex decided to retire the most versatile piece in the collection is another mystery. Still, its materials do make it the most expensive option in a collection that was never very popular in the first place.
However, these watches are available on the used market for around, if not below, the official retail price – not something you can say about every Rolex Sports model. Now, whether that will change, we don’t know, but educated guesses suggest that it is quite possible.
Finally, Rolex seems to have acknowledged the failure of the Cellini line, which is their line of pure dress watches.
It’s been a long time coming. As beautiful as these pieces are, they stick out a bit, retaining a few of Rolex’s most important design principles, and don’t even qualify for an Oyster case.
The 2022 bids farewell to the two pure time models and the two time-date models, leaving only the wonderful Ref. 50535 Moonphase. With its 39 mm stellar case and white lacquered dial, this is the last Cellini watch and a stunning piece in its own right.

rolex GMT-Master

We’re obsessed with the watches in Bob’s Vault

watches

What else is unique about Rolex watches? Well, the Rolex “Kermit” Submariner ref. 16610LV is the first time any color other than black has appeared in a stainless steel Submariner. It is also the first time the company’s signature green color has appeared in the collection. Please note: this bezel is made of aluminum, known to fade. However, this does not seem to have stopped collectors from taking an interest in this unique piece of replica Rolex history.
Isn’t she beautiful? Featuring an exceptionally robust 904L stainless steel case and bracelet with a luxurious platinum dial and bezel, this Yachtmaster is a top example of Rolex’s ability to combine form and function. Originally designed as a luxury watch for sailors, this 40mm watch has a rotating sandblasted platinum bezel that times regattas and can withstand 100 meters of water resistance. You may wonder what the difference between this watch and the Submariner is, other than water resistance. The Yacht Prestige has a bi-directional chronograph bezel and can rotate in both directions.
In addition, it will look great on your wrist on any occasion. Significantly more stately and dignified, the Yacht Prestige offers its own sporty and luxurious appeal that you will never want to take off. With its unique sandblasted textured platinum dial, this model is no longer in production, so the only way to get it is through the secondary market.
When fake Rolex decided to update the GMT-Master in the mid-2000s, their new models, like this Rolesor (two-tone) Ref. 116713, became instant classics. It is one of the most sought-after modern second-hand watches today, and since Baselworld 2019, Rolex is only making the two-tone GMT-Master II watch in Everose pink gold (no yellow gold option). So don’t let this one go unnoticed!
Also, this one is a collector’s favorite when it comes to pre-owned GMT-Master II watches. First of all, collectors love the more extensive “Super Case” and “Super Dial” because it has wider lugs, and the dial has more significant luminous hour markers and more comprehensive hands on top. Please note: the case itself is still 40mm.
However, its size and temperament set this watch apart. The Datejust II is loathed and loved, with a noticeably larger case and rounder than the typical Datejust. Because of this, it is an excellent choice for those looking for something a little more distinctive on their wrist. In addition, since it’s no longer in production, it’s an excellent collector’s item that’s part of Rolex’s history and can be kept in your watch box.

New Rolex Daytona White Ceramic Watch with 4130 Movement

watches

Today, the watch I am going to review is a new model that has just been released in our market and it is also the first replica Rolex Daytona watch I have ever seen that is made entirely of ceramic. Before I go into detail about this watch, I want to explain two things.
Yes, it is a Noob factory, but the replica watch is not made by the Noob factory. The replica watch only uses the Super Clone 4130 movement, a movement that has been used by Noob Daytona before. I don’t know which factory made this blue and white ceramic Daytona, but this movement is definitely the best Super Clone 4130. the second thing I want to explain here is about Noob. This factory no longer exists, they don’t offer watches now, by the way, the Super Clone 4130 under Noob’s name was made by a movement factory, not by Noob, Noob didn’t make any watch parts, they ordered it from a watch parts factory, did a quality check, and then assembled it.
Now it’s time to introduce this Rolex Daytona ceramic watch, there are two major advantages, the first is the ceramic material and the second is the best Super Clone 4130 movement it uses. This watch looks beautiful and is a great watch for women, the tiffany blue dial with white ceramic is a perfect match and the Daytona meets the demand for a larger watch, so I think many ladies will consider this watch. On its tiffany blue dial, I saw a new name “AET REMOULD” which is a watch brand from Germany, they mainly customize watches and this Rolex Daytona is from them.
The case, bezel, and strap are made of white ceramic, the white bezel has a light blue tachymeter scale, the crown is screwed down and the stainless steel chronograph pushers are screwed down. On the Tiffany blue dial of this replica watch, there are three silvered subdials. the subdial at 6 o’clock is for the small seconds, the 30-minute chronograph counter is at 3 o’clock, and the 12-hour chronograph counter is at 9 o’clock. The three subdials work in the same way as the real Daytona, which means that the replica has a fully working chronograph function. The case back is also made of ceramic and it is secured with four stainless steel screws.
Thanks to its high-end ceramic material and its super clone movement, this replica watch is priced very high but the quality is perfect. This super clone 4130 movements has proven to be the best and most accurate chronograph movement from Daytona.

Top Quality Rolex Daytona Stainless Steel Watch

watches

Rolex Daytona Stainless Steel Watches are the most popular items for collectors, why? The reason is rich, people like its appearance and functions, it is a symbol of social position. The Rolex Daytona stainless steel automatic replica watches have a 40mm stainless steel case with a choice of black or white dials protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystals. They have a tachymeter scale on the bezel and the watches are paired with a three-link Oyster bracelet. 40mm stainless steel Daytona watches feature an automatic movement and are chronometer-certified chronographs that keep near-perfect time. These Rolex Daytona stainless steel watches also characterize a screw-down crown and chronograph pushers to ensure that the case is water-resistant. There are a few types that are very popular.
The Rolex Daytona 16520 stainless steel model is a member of the second series of Daytona watches introduced in 1988. Although Rolex used the famous Zenith El-Primero self-winding chronograph movement as its base, the company significantly modified the movement and renamed it the 4030 movements. Thanks to its modern appearance, larger size, and self-winding movement, the Daytona 16520 “Zenith” quickly became the must-have replica Rolex watch of its era.
The Rolex Daytona ref. 116520 is a member of the third series of Daytona watches (and successor to the 16520) released in 2000. It has many of the same features as the 16520, with one important exception. In the third Daytona series, Rolex equipped the Daytona 116520 with its own 4130 movements. Like its predecessor, the Daytona 116520 was a huge success and quickly became one of Rolex’s top models.
A decade ago, fake Rolex released the latest iteration of the stainless steel Daytona in the form of the 116500LN. the Daytona 116500LN has the same 40mm case and screw-down pushers as the previous automatic model, however, it comes with a new black Cerachrom ceramic bezel. As is customary, the steel Daytona 116500LN is available with either a black or white dial, and the white “Panda” dial with black subdials is particularly sought-after. Regardless of dial color, the Daytona 116500LN is one of the most valuable modern luxuries replica watches on the pre-owned market today, and one of Rolex’s best-selling models.

Difference between Vintage and Pre-Owned Watches

Promotional Products for Your Business From China

Watch sellers often hang on to these terms, assuming that everyone knows what they mean. Yet how many newcomers, when considering a purchase, have paused while scrutinizing their options and wondered why a watch from one year is labeled as a second-hand watch and another as a vintage watch – and what effect that has on the price?
For our purposes, as of 2021, we tend to consider watches made before 1990 as vintage watches. Pre-owned describes watches that were made later and belonged to at least one person.
When you hear the term “pre-owned,” think of it as shorthand for a modern or contemporary watch that someone has worn for some time. Frankly, it’s a more polite way of saying “pre-owned,” and unfortunately, the term implies hard to use, as if the previous owner wore the watch while operating the jack – which is usually not far from the truth.
Of course, the vast majority of vintage Rolex replica watches have also been owned by others. This is almost taken for granted; provenance itself can even play an important role in the value of a particular vintage watch, where it can be ascertained.
What makes one watch a vintage watch and another a used watch is a moving target. Logically, what is a vintage watch, and what is a used watch change with the times as new products are created and yesterday’s products age? But sometimes you can tell the difference just by looking at them.
Modern materials such as sapphire crystal and Super-LumiNova were only widely adopted later. Because they often use these highly resistant materials, fake rolex watches tend to look newer for a longer period of time.
Pre-owned watches offer an excellent opportunity to acquire the latest watches that are hard to find new. Want a pristine Submariner, but don’t want to wait for a brand new Submariner to appear? Buy a pre-owned watch. If you shop at a reliable dealer, you’ll likely get a great, reliable watch with plenty of life left in it.
Pre-owned watches are also an important part of the circular economy of watch collecting. They open up a whole new world for aspiring collectors and those of us who may have a drawer full of watches that haven’t been worn in years. When someone trades in a timepiece that they no longer wear, both buyer and seller are one step closer to the next dream watch.

Why the Rolex Day-Date President?

watches

Launched in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date immediately replaced the Datejust as the brand’s flagship collection. Unapologetic about its uniqueness, the watch was made exclusively of precious metals, whether solid 18-carat gold or the noblest platinum. The first watch to display both the date and the day of the week, it was an instant hit and became a must-have for world leaders and industry leaders. 
Numerous U.S. presidents have owned and worn Rolex Day-Date watches, and it is this association that has led to the model’s widely known “Rolex Presidents” moniker. However, Lyndon B. Johnson is believed to be the first commander-in-chief to wear the watch, and the model has since been forever known as the President’s Watch.
The name “President” is not officially used by replica Rolex to describe the watch itself, although it is the actual official name of the iconic Day-Date bracelet. The Rolex President bracelet is a triple semi-circularly connected strap made of the same luxurious metal as the rest of the watch and was designed specifically for the Day-Date, which was introduced in 1956.
Over the years, the Rolex President’s fan base has expanded thanks to the watch’s fickleness. In order to satisfy as many different tastes as possible, the Rolex replica has added a wide range of different bezel and dial options, and today it is the preferred choice of the top people in almost every field. Today, you see one on the arm of a heavyweight champion or a hip-hop mogul just as much as you see one on the arm of a somber senior official.
Warren Buffett’s example is actually one of the least obvious and most traditional, as you might expect. Gold has fallen in and out of fashion at different times, but it has always been there. As you can see from his general demeanor, Buffett bought his Rolex President when he first made it big in, and he’s been pampering it and holding onto it ever since.
From this point of view, Warren Buffett is indeed a true one-watch man. Almost every picture of him has an identical watch on it, and if you’re going to spend your life in the company of the same watch, what better choice than a fake Rolex Day-Date?

CUSTOM SCREEN CLEANERS ENHANCE BRAND VISIBILITY

Promotional Products for Your Business From China

Today, we spend most of our day experiencing the world through screens. Regardless of whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, this is not the point, yet the reality of our business and social lives are electronic. In business, we are emailing someone in the next office or cubicle every day, and as we walk down the street, more and more of us have our faces stuck to our screens or our ears to podcasts or music, as if we’re ignoring what’s going on around us. If you’re constantly staring at your screen on a daily basis, it just pays to make sure it’s clean and free of dirt and fingerprints. One of the best ways to do this is to use a screen cleaning cloth. As a promotional item, there’s nothing better, not only for the general appreciation the public has for the live experience via the 2D electronic print obsession but also for the branding opportunity compared to the cost per unit than a promotional cleaning cloth.
We’ve recently launched the best cleaning cloths we’ve seen before in our extensive promotional product collection. Folding lens cleaning cloths are not only ideal for touchscreen phones or laptop screens, but they’re also perfect for polishing glasses which have become mandatory or a necessity for screen viewers as the process of looking at a screen all day can lead to short-sightedness and alter the average person’s ability to focus. A simple rectangular cloth easily folds over double-sided lenses so you can polish both sides at the same time. Complete with a handy stand, they take up little space and are a must-have item if you want to maximize your screen time.
If you look at the collection of digitally printed microfiber cloths, you’ll find even more branding opportunities. Printed in fully dyed sublimated colors, you can have your complete photographic design printed on a handkerchief-sized piece of soft fabric. Soft-touch microfiber dresses are the perfect way to polish any screen, from your desktop device to the phone in your pocket. If you want to convey a message or recreate an image of your favorite product so that people can see all the details, then a large microfiber cleaning cloth is the product that will meet all your requirements.

These simple yet effective devices are designed specifically for mobile phone screens and ensure that your message is always on the move and your person is giving away the cloth in the first place.
With new models coming out all the time and more and more people spending more time staring at their screens every day, a custom printed screen cleaning cloth is a product idea that will generate interest in your brand every day.
