A Pair Of Luxury 1:1 Rolex Bubbleback Replica Watches UK
As I write to you, I am down in Miami attending one of the largest vintage watch events in the United States, the Original Miami Beach Antique Show. Expect a full photo report of all the outstanding and outrageous Swiss made Rolex replica watches and objects right here next week. But for now, we’ll stick to a “standard” format, rounding up the best for sale across the web.
Let’s get into this week’s picks!
1944 Rolex Bubbleback Ref. 3372 Replica Watches In Two-Tone Pink Gold and Steel
I am happy to report that, at long last, the high quality fake Rolex Bubbleback watches market is showing signs of life. These cheap AAA Rolex copy watches were very popular and heavily collected decades ago but have since settled into the background of the vintage world. For a multitude of factors, including case size, difficulty in finding solid examples, and many, many reprinted dials, even the most passionate vintage collectors of the past 10 or 20 years have steered clear.
Well, on the heels of smaller case sizes being “cool,” Cartier trending and, with it, interest in early 20th-century wristwatch designs spiking, Bubblebacks are starting to simmer to the surface. I saw a great rose gold example while visiting with TikTok’s favorite dealer Mike Nouveau during November auction season in Geneva. Nouveau owned that one for all of an afternoon, buying it in the morning from another dealer and moving it to a new home in just a few hours.
Trends don’t start with one watch selling quickly through a dealer. A couple of weeks ago, Loupe This offered another excellent Bubbleback, a ref. 3372 in solid yellow gold with a two-tone salmon dial co-signed by Giudici Milano. While it is a mouthful to list out, this was a truly amazing top UK replica Rolex watches. Even as a quiet Bubbleback supporter, the $33,000 final price surprised me. My trend-spotting senses are tingling.
Loupe This is keeping the train rolling with another ref. 3372, this time in two-tone pink gold and steel and a sportier dial variant with luminous markers and a 24-hour inner track. Yes, two have come up in quick succession on the same auction site, but I want to stress the difficulty of finding one of these with original dials like these – it’s next to impossible at this point. Especially when the dial is luminous as the radium material usually degrades, damaging the dial, and someone along the line of ownership decides to “take care of it” with a fresh paint job. There is no funny business on this one, though; it is in excellent condition. If you trust me and want to get in on best China super clone Rolex Bubbleback watches before the trend really “hits,” this is a great opportunity.
The auctioneer, Loupe This, is located in Los Angeles (I hope everyone stays safe out there), and the current bid price at publication is $10,001. The auction for this Rolex Bubbleback replica watches wholesale UK is set to end on Wednesday, January 1,5 at 12:00 PM ET.
1954 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Fake Watches with Blue Enamel Dial Ref. 6332
Technically, this, too, is a Bubbleback reference. But before you accuse me of trying to make this “trend” more of a thing than it is, I will have you know that this being a Bubbleback is extremely secondary to my main reason for including it in Bring A Loupe. Full transparency: I had dinner with Tariq Malik of Momentum Dubai on Tuesday night in Miami (it was a group dinner of six, and the check was split evenly!). Toni’s Sushi Bar was just okay, but Tariq’s choice of watch for the evening proved far more memorable. Of course, it was this 1954 Rolex Oyster Perpetual replica watches for sale with a blue enamel track on the dial.
Enamel dialed UK perfect copy Rolex watches will always hold a special place in my heart, but the full cloisonné situations like the ref. 6100 from Phillips New York last month will set you back nearly $1m. For a fraction of a fraction of the price, this ref. 6332 captures much of the same heart-fluttering feelings for me. I especially love the subtle touch of red text in the “OFFICIALLY” line at six o’clock. The overall look of the dial is a bit like the faded red, white, and blue of a flag, be it American, French, British, etc. The selling party does not specify, but given the distinctive font of the 12, 3, 6, and 9, I can safely assume this dial is the work of Stern Frères – the same dial maker as the full cloisonné Rolex dials. This numeral font is seen on the ref. 8171 Padellone, for example, and we know Stern manufactured those dials.
And yes, by the letter of the law, this 34mm Oyster case is a Bubbleback, but without the iconic and distinctive semi-hooded lugs of the earlier, true Bubblebacks, this 1950s design could easily be mistaken for a standard “screwback” while on the wrist. This is a mistake I clearly made on Tuesday, not realizing I was looking at a Bubbleback until I looked up the listing today.
The seller, Momentum Dubai, is located in, you guessed it, Dubai but I know the Rolex fake watches online store is in Miami currently! This Rolex has an asking price of $38,116.
