What kind of replica watches can become “graduation models”
Playing with a watch is like the process of “fighting monsters and upgrading”. With the deepening of the understanding of replica watches, many people will gradually increase their watch purchase budget. After many replacements, the “graduation model” of each brand is finally finalized. I don’t think the “graduation model” is necessarily the most expensive model of the brand, but it must be the most representative product that shows the watchmaking philosophy. Today I want to talk about what kind of watch is eligible to become a “graduation model”?
Rolex
As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and different watchers choose different Rolex graduation models. Combining the two keywords “Rolex” and “Graduation”, the searched models include Daytona, Greenwich, Day-Date and so on.
Although Rolex replica professional watches have been in the limelight in recent years, the Day-Date in the classic dress style is still the first choice for many Rolex watch lovers. Especially in the Hong Kong and Taiwan movies of the last century, the frequent appearance of the day-date watch is impressive, which has almost become a common memory of Rolex for a generation.
The entire Rolex Day-Date case is made of precious metal, and the materials are very luxurious. It is the world’s first watch with a “dual calendar” function and provides a multilingual week display. The small window convex lens above the calendar and the unique triangular grooved outer ring (commonly known as “dog tooth ring”) have now become the iconic elements of Rolex. Another feature of the Day-Date is the headband, which looks in the same vein as the work that came out in 1956. The modern model also adds an embedded ceramic component, which is more flexible and durable.
On the other hand, as the most eye-catching series of Rolex professional Luxury replica watches, the Cosmograph Daytona is very popular for its gorgeous appearance. The series is positioned in professional endurance racing sports. After many iterations since the development in the 1960s, the material types of the case and the dial are very rich. The more famous “Rainbow Daytona” and “Ice Blue Daytona” are also the graduation choices of many Rolex players.
Patek Philippe
Similarly, although sports watches are in the limelight, I think most players’ graduation models do not stop at the Aquanaut (grenade) and the sports elegant series (Nautilus), but prefer the super-complication timepiece series.
As a watch that can be “kept for future generations”, the Super Complication Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Ref.5320 has become the graduation model that many watch lovers dream of. Launched in 2017, this model incorporates the characteristics of many classic Patek Philippe watches. For example, the dropped three-layer lugs are inspired by a classic timepiece of the brand more than 60 years ago.
The classic layout of the dial is derived from the design of the 1940s. The shape of the hands is a tribute to the Ref.1463 watch of the 1950s. The automatic rotor of the Cal.324 S Q (S for small seconds, Q for perpetual calendar) movement is made of 21K gold,
the bridges have rounded chamfered and polished edges, Geneva stripes and gold-engraved engravings, and the screws are also polished. Chamfered tapped holes also feature polished tapers. Such craftsmanship standards are worthy of the Patek Philippe seal certification.
Minute Repeater is one of the most technically difficult and artistic levels among the many complex functions of Luxury replica watches. Patek Philippe’s status today is inseparable from its achievements in the field of Minute Repeater. The Ref.5078R minute repeater fully embodies the essence of the Patek Philippe Minute Repeater. The Cal.R 27 PS self-winding Minute Repeater movement equipped with a “church” gong is twice as long as the classic gong and almost surrounds the machine. The core is two weeks old, so it can produce a fuller, melodious and louder chime. Being able to own the Patek Philippe Minute Repeater is believed to be the ultimate pursuit of many players.
A. Lange & Söhne
Compared with Swiss brands, German watches have a smaller range of choices,
and the design style of the watches is relatively simple, so the difficulty of graduation will be greatly reduced. A. Lange & Söhne is currently recognized as the “boss” of German watches. In the field of advanced watchmaking, A. Lange & Söhne’s complex models, whether in craftsmanship or technical stacking, have the potential to rival Patek Philippe.
Zeitwerk time mechanical watch, because of its unique dial, watch fans call it “Owl”, this is the first mechanical watch that can realize jumping digital display function and constant power,
and can also realize hour dial and The minute disc jumps at the same time. Looking closely at the dial, we can find a German silver plywood that looks like an owl.
The watch has a window at 9 o’clock on the dial to display the hours,
and the corresponding 3 o’clock position on the other side is used to display the minutes. At 6 o’clock, an independent small seconds dial is set up,
coupled with the screws and sapphire bearings on the “time bridge” in the middle, which brings a high degree of recognition.
The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 series chronograph uses a column wheel control system,
with a flyback function and a pulse meter scale, and can control the timing accuracy to 1/5 of a second. The bridges and lever lobes of the Cal.L951 manual winding movement are polished by hand, the upper splint is decorated with Glashütte stripes,
the lower splint is decorated with fish scales, and the splint is hand-carved, both in performance and craftsmanship. The TOP level is an ideal “graduation model”.
Summary
It is not difficult to see from the “graduation models” posted by players that although the unit price is not the highest of the same brand,
these models all have distinct characteristics and fully demonstrate the connotation of their respective brands. Due to the limited space, only a few representative products are listed here. In fact, whether it is close to the people or high-end luxury, every brand can have a “graduation model”. So what is your graduation gift in mind? Feel free to share in the comments section.
