Most basketball fans watching the NBA 75 ceremony last weekend were excited to see Michael Jordan socializing with his peers—er, rivals—and his heir apparent, LeBron James.
Steph Curry’s Replica Patek Philippe Nautilus Watches
OK, Steph! Looks like Curry’s watch game—for a while there he wore a $600 Movado—is finally catching up to his game-game. Curry’s been pulling out the big guns as of late, like an indestructible Panerai and skeletonised Cartier. Yet his collection wouldn’t be complete without the Patek Philippe Nautilus replica watches for sale, one of the most important boxes to check for an elite athlete. Curry bypassed the basic model and went straight for the reference 5740 with a perpetual calendar. This is the first Nautilus equipped with what Patek calls a “grand complication.” One possible explanation for the surge in Curry’s luxury US fake watches collection? Maybe his teammate Draymond Green, who has been out with an injury for a few weeks and is a ferocious AAA cheap copy watches collector, has been maximising his time on the bench to talk watches.
Guy Fieri’s custom Fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Watches
Guy Fieri is a man of excess: he’ll take any spice, seasoning, or hot sauce on hand. His slather-happy philosophy apparently also carries over to Swiss movements replica watches. This Royal Oak Offshore is set with so many diamonds it’s impossible to tell what the exact model is underneath all that ice. Fieri took this piece straight to Flavourtown.
This week’s high quality super clone watches roundup has featured plenty of firsts: the first grand-complication Nautilus, the first Urwerk customized by a G.O.A.T., the first official watch of Flavourtown. Now, with Spike Lee’s Rolex, we have another one. This was the first perfect fake Rolex Daytona watches fitted with a rubber strap (Oysterflex, in Rolex parlance) when it was released in 2017. Sure, that doesn’t sound hugely exciting, but consider how the Crown makes changes in slow motion. The Oysterflex accentuates everything that makes the Daytona great—the best Rolex replica watches wholesale world’s favourite modern sports watch got even sportier and moderner.
Last week, and you hardly can have missed it, Audemars Piguet presented a whole new collection of 1:1 luxury replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches celebrating the 50th anniversary of the icon born in 1972. Among a dozen updated models, there was, of course, the brand new Jumbo, the reference 16202, which we’ve extensively reviewed in this article, in its all-time classic stainless steel version. But there’s more to the new Royal Oak Jumbo than just the steel model. In fact, AP has presented 4 different versions, including the one you see here, a bold and loud yellow gold AAA Swiss fake watches with a smoked yellow-gold-toned dial. And I know I still have issues admitting it, but boy does it look cool! So yes, the Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin 16202BA is the latest addition to my “guilty pleasure watch” list.
I know I should be luring after the stainless steel Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin 16202ST, for everything it represents. Because it’s the most faithful version. Because it’s also far more in line with my usual codes of discretion and my personality. Because it will be the most comfortable on the wrist. And, of course, the Royal Oak Jumbo somehow has to be a steel US top replica watches with a Petite Tapisserie blue dial. But rules are meant to be broken (those who know AP will certainly see the connection here…) and, for an absolutely unknown reason, I can’t stop looking at this new 18k yellow gold version with its truly special smoked dial, the 16202BA.
I can’t explain the attraction… I simply can’t think of an objective reason for this behaviour of mine, a feeling I know I shouldn’t have. Or maybe I should. This high quality copy watches is like the girl you want to date but you know, deep down, that you shouldn’t introduce her to your parents. I’m not sure I would wear the yellow gold Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin 16202, but for whatever reason, I want one. Typical guilty pleasure. But as the French author Pascal said “Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ignore” that could be translated in English as “heart does things for reasons that reason cannot understand.”
That being said, and after a way too deep introspection into my personal feelings, let’s talk perfect replica watches and the striking, oddly attractive Jumbo Extra-Thin 16202BA in yellow gold. Just like the stainless steel version we introduced in this article and video last week, there aren’t many surprises in the new generation Jumbo when it comes to the exterior of the cheap fake watches. What was true for the steel model is basically true for the gold model too, with a few nuances to be expressed. While you’ll have a hard time spotting the difference between a steel 15202 and a steel 16202, the new generation Royal Oak Jumbo in yellow gold will be spotted in the blink of an eye.
While the second-generation 15202 dates back to 2012, the full 18k yellow gold edition of this replica watches wholesale shop has been presented later, at the SIHH 2017. The reference 15202BA actually comprised two versions, one with a classic blue dial and the other with a matching gold-toned petite tapisserie dial. And yes, the latter was also one of our all-time favourite editions of the 15202. With the new generation of Royal Oak Jumbo, Audemars Piguet has presented 4 super clone watches store site, as next to the steel model with blue dial, you’ll find a rose gold version with smoked grey dial, a platinum version with smoked green dial (without tapisserie) and the present watch, an 18k yellow gold version with a stunning, over-demonstrative smoked yellow-gold-toned dial with Petite Tapisserie pattern.
We’ll start with the obvious and what doesn’t really need to be said. Apart from being made of 18k yellow gold, the case and bracelet of this 16202BA replica watches for men is entirely identical to the steel version, and thus also 99% identical to the previous generation 15202. This means the classic proportions, with a 39mm diameter and the same 8.1mm height. Obviously, the octagonal bezel with white gold screws has been retained and everything, specifications-wise, has been kept, from the sapphire crystals on both sides or the 50m water-resistance.
Under the sapphire case-back is the true novelty. After 50 years with the same movement, the Calibre 2121, the Swiss movements fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin watches gets a modern engine, conceived and manufactured in-house. A slender automatic movement, it is slightly larger and thicker than before, yet this has no impact on the dimensions of the case. Importantly, it now offers a contemporary construction with robustness in mind, and comes with an extended power reserve of 55 hours, despite the fast-beating escapement (4Hz frequency). Also, it finally comes with a quick-set date. The rotor, mounted on ball bearings, is made of 22k gold and, only for this year’s production, shows the “50 years” logo.
What truly matters with the perfect replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin 16202BA watches is the dial. That fiery, sunset-like gradient dial ranging from yellow gold in the centre to black in the periphery. It is combined with solid gold hands and applied markers (and yes, they are the same as before) and to the classic – dare I say iconic – petite tapisserie engine-turned pattern. The date window also matches the dial’s colour. That incredibly strong, polarizing, oddly attractive smoked colour, which gives this watch an incredible personality. The way the gradient effect plays with the proportions of the watch and how it focalizes the attention to the centre of the dial drastically change the perception of the best quality fake watches and its shapes. While the previous yellow gold Jumbo was all about uniformity with its tone-on-tone dial, this new one somehow redefines the proportions and shapes of the Royal Oak.
Surely, I’m not expecting this edition to be unanimously accepted and, in a way, it’s a good thing. I will completely understand that you’ll disagree with me on the high level of attractivity of this 16202BA because, after all, it is a true statement piece. I think it was the whole idea of 2022 Audemars Piguet replica watches with this edition, but the result, if polarizing, certainly creates strong emotions. At least, it does on me… I hate to say it, but I really have something for this watch.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin Yellow Gold 16202BA replica watches store is presented as part of the permanent collection and isn’t a limited edition – however production will be limited and availability will be low. It is priced at EUR 68,300 or USD 70,500.
Imagine you’re stranded on an uninhabited island. You don’t know when help will arrive, or if it ever will, but you’ve got the basics of survival down. There’s enough water to sustain you. You have some form of shelter. Eating means embracing your natural instincts and hunting and foraging.
The US luxury replica watches on your wrist during this imaginative ordeal? That’s your “desert island watch.” Though I have to note, it should probably be called the “deserted island watch,” unless you really are on island that hosts a desert climate.
This thought exercise seems to crop up time and again in high quality fake watches enthusiast circles (and other hobbyist circles, as well). The question, “What watch would you bring if you were stranded on an island?” is a philosophical thought exercise to not only pare down a watch collection to just one, but an examination of the way we enjoy Swiss made replica watches. It’s about ourselves as much as it’s about the watch.
I wanted to add some real-world context to the conversation the next time I’m sitting around a table with Swiss movements copy watches buddies and the “desert island” watch conversation comes up. How? By actually experiencing it.
The first time I heard about the Dry Tortugas was from an article by Justin Couture on his blog, The Wristorian. The Dry Tortugas are a small group of islands about 70 miles to the west of Key West, Florida. Fort Jefferson, built in 1861, stands on the primary key. The fort and its armaments were set up to protect and control the popular shipping lane through the Gulf of Mexico, but in 1935 Fort Jefferson was designated a national monument and protected by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Today it’s the most remote national park in the United States.
The name Dry Tortugas comes from the fact that there is no freshwater on the island. Visitors must bring everything they need to the island, including potable water. Camping is allowed, but it’s pack-in, pack-out. There are no resources on the island aside from a few stationary grills and leftover hard storage bins to keep rats from eating the rations you’ve packed. In case of a serious emergency, there’s a VHF radio tuned-in to channel 16 (the international distress frequency) on the island that one can use to call for help. A small number of park rangers from the National Park Service look after Fort Jefferson, as well.
I applied for a permit to camp at the Dry Tortugas and waited until my number came up. It typically books out up to six months in advance. Every day a ferry from Key West visits the island and allows day-trippers a few hours to walk around Fort Jefferson. The boat brings a small number of campers, too. And once the day trippers leave after lunch, the campers (about eight total) are the only people on the island.
While I waited for a slot, I needed to choose a watch to bring to this remote, uninhabited island. I thought about it for awhile, and in the end, I chose 1:1 AAA fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver watches to bring with me as my one, do-it-all, “desert island watch.” Not my usual pick at all. So why’d I go with something so far outside my horological comfort zone? Well, I’m more than familiar enough with tool cheap replica watches. I’ve never really had the chance to experience the hype-watch life. And I figured that if this whole trip went awry, at least I’d at least I’d have the chance to. Plus, this particular hype-watch is kind of made for a deserted island, even if almost nobody ever uses it that way. That is, nobody but me.
This reference (15720ST) of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver replica watches for sale retailed for $25,400 when it was brand-new. Now? People want one so bad they’re paying around $40,000 on the secondary market. It’s the kind of watch where you need to have some sort of relationship with a boutique to purchase, and everyone else pays a ludicrous premium. It’s the very definition of a hype-watch, and my guess is that most people that buy one aren’t buying it for the 300m water resistance or the in-house caliber 4308. It’s got the horological chops; it’s an AP, after all. The second it was in my hand I could feel the incredible build quality. For many folks, this is grail best fake watches. For me, it was an experiment to see if I could live up to the image it projects.
The first morning of our two days on the island, it’s the crack of dawn on Key West when I arrive at the ferry taking us to the Dry Tortugas with my girlfriend. Since the Dry Tortugas is a national park, they don’t allow guns, weapons, explosives, etc. We submit our bags to the guards to be searched. They don’t find anything questionable, but little do they know that I actually am packing serious heat – it’s just on my wrist.
I’m in full-on Florida mode with my Panama hat, a Hawaiian shirt, and some sunglasses with serious character. This ensemble is topped off by the Swiss wholesale replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver watches. Wearing a $40,000 watch and heading to an uninhabited island feels fantastic. There’s no cell service out there and absolutely no way for anyone to contact me.
We make landfall. After a quick brief from the National Park Service we set up the campsite. We’ve got plenty of water, a medical kit, and enough gear to hopefully catch dinner. We have back-up food, just in case. After our tent is set up and our food is in the hard bins, we start exploring the island. I’m loving it. It’s not exactly the deserted island I had in mind, however, with a ton of sunscreen-laden fanny-packers all staring at maps of the island.
A seaplane arrives and I decide that next time, I’m ponying up for the seaplane to take me out here. Maybe the AP is giving me delusions of monetary grandeur. Talk about lifestyle inflation.
Around noon, I run into my first major decision regarding my “desert island watch.” I had vowed not to take off the super clone watches store site, but I have to cut up some ripe squid into strips for fishing. It means reaching into a bag of lukewarm squid meat. Surely it would expose my wrist to some wonderful cephalopod juice. Do I really want my nice and shiny AP doused in mollusk-flavored water?
Hmm. Whatever.
The fish aren’t going to catch themselves, and we need to eat.
The strap is rubber, anyway, right? It’ll come right off.
The day-trippers are back on the boat at two, and all of a sudden the island is quiet. I’m finally starting to feel like I’m on a deserted island out in the middle of nowhere. That also means there’s no one around to compliment me on the AP I have on my wrist. The whole day no one even noticed. I’m not totally surprised, and anyway this one’s really for me. A hurricane could wipe us out, the boat might sink and never return, a shark might get me, you name it. There are a million ways to die on a remote island, but at least I’d be wearing this 2021 replica watches shop. Someone might say you should choose a watch that would work well for survival. But the truth of the matter is that a watch won’t play a part in the whole thing, so you might as well go out with a bang.
If you’re wearing best quality Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore fake watches on a deserted island and no one is around to gawk at it … is it even the hype-watch you thought it was? I’m not so sure. I’m starting to think a lot of the fun about wearing a Royal Oak has to do with projecting a certain image.
We spot a Great Barracuda under the dock where we’re fishing. It keeps picking off the fish we hook before we can reel them in. The Tax Man is always gonna get his share, I suppose.
Nothing but little dock snapper are biting and they’re not big enough to keep. Are we going to be able to eat? If I saw someone wearing Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replica watches for men – even an Offshore – I might think they’re some city-slicker with more money than guts who doesn’t know a snapper from a grouper and can’t bait a hook and catch dinner. I don’t want to be that guy.
I’m not in love with this top fake watches. I’m nervous about scratching it up. It has a nice coating of sand and squid juice on it already, and now there’s some fish slime in the mix from unhooking these little snapper.
Time for some snorkeling and a walk around the fort. I will say, the top quality replica Audemars Piguet Offshore Diver watches is very legible underwater. It’s not so bad in that regard. As a tool watch, it does actually work. Forget about setting the bezel, though.
I see a few tarpon cruising the shallows for baitfish. These things are huge and fast. It’s an amazing sight to see. Finally, the slot snapper start biting and we catch something for dinner, a sizable mangrove snapper. We cook it up and eat under a palm tree, with a nice cool ocean breeze. The only sound around is the lapping waves and the charcoal fire dying down.
There’s no better feeling than eating freshly caught fish, drinking a nice island lager, and knowing that not a single soul can bother you. I’m starting to understand the Royal Oak life. I didn’t get it before, but now it’s hitting just right. It was in this moment that I halfway came around to the fake watches wholesale shop. It still isn’t for me, at all, but I finally see – and even embrace – the appeal.
It’s lights out. Bedtime. It’s raining hard and the palm tree keeps smacking the tent and waking me up. The thunder and rain are really, really nice, though. We don’t get these kinds of storms outside of the tropics.
Around midnight I wake up and want to know what time it is, so I check my wrist. Nothing. Can’t see a damn thing. The lume died out. If sub-$1,000 luxury Swiss replica watches can get this right, then surely a Royal Oak Offshore can. But I supposed most people aren’t buying these to check the time at night, anyway.
I can get used to this life. Even when it’s overcast it’s beautiful.
We wake up around eight on day two. It’s cloudy and grey as remnants from the storm blow out, but good weather is on the way. I wake up and the first thing I do is check my 1:1 quality fake watches for the time. Looking good. I fry up some eggs and Spam. I brought the Spam with me to pay homage to the food that kept bellies full during years of hardship in the South Pacific.
By this point, I’ve seen every inch of the island, so I take another dip and wet a line again, just for fun. I’ll be heading back soon.
It’s 10 when the boat pulls in and the day-trippers flood the island.
I pack up all the gear and just hang around until the boat’s ready to go. I secretly wish the boat had sunk on the way here (with everyone surviving, of course) and we got stranded an extra day. I’m not ready to go back just yet. I’m just getting used to the deserted island life. It isn’t so bad. In fact, it’s great. Give me a satellite phone and some Wi-Fi and I’m set. I could stay here for a long, long while.
I’m back at the Key West Ferry Terminal and I already miss that tiny sliver of sand in the Caribbean. I had come to test out my “desert island watch,” but I found instead that it’s a much better piece to have at a bar with a bunch of replica watches paypal friends than it is to actually carry out. Some things, I’ve learned, are better to simply theorize about than to actually do. In the real world, the “desert island watch” thing doesn’t really matter.
In the end, I think the best thing about the “desert island watch” experiment was being on the island.
It’s a well-documented fact that the majority of the big Swiss made replica watches marques don’t really like their timepieces being messed with once they’ve been bought.
Get the thing seen to by an unverified watchmaker rather than going through the in-house servicing department and you’ll lose your warranty at best, find yourself smote by the horological gods at worst. Have your 1:1 fake watches customised by an external party, on the other hand, and you can expect full excommunication from the brand in question and, perhaps, Switzerland itself (perhaps).
The truth is, however, that high-level AAA replica watches customisation is becoming increasingly commonplace among wealthy collectors and connoisseurs looking to make an entirely unique on-wrist impact.
Drake, for instance, has more than once been spotted sporting an “invaluable” baguette emerald-encrusted Patek Philippe Nautilus, which was designed for him by his friend Virgil Abloh, while Abloh himself is known to be in possession of an all-black ref 5726, with both pieces rumoured to have been created by custom jeweller MAD Paris.
Now, the customisation train seems to be turning in a somewhat less clandestine direction, specifically in the shape of a new collaboration between MAD and storied London department store Browns Fashion.
For the first time, the two institutions have teamed up to produce a small capsule collection of customised top replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches – created in collaboration with two of the most celebrated contemporary menswear designers working today, Matthew Williams of 1017 Alyx 9SM and Givenchy and Charaf Tajer of Casablanca – and the whole thing couldn’t look more straight-A legit if it tried.
Consisting of four timepieces limited to five units each, the original perfect copy watches were sourced by MAD from trusted preowned dealers and each has been given a one-of-a-kind makeover at the hands of the designer in question.
In the case of Williams, for instance, the American creative – who is known for his pared-back yet edgy collections at both Givenchy and Alyx – has taken the industrial overtones of Gérald Genta’s original octagonal creation as his aesthetic cue.
Indeed, rather than adding any new elements to his allotted assortment of ten high quality super clone watches, Williams chose instead to strip them back entirely, removing all extraneous design details and finishing each with an ultra-minimal brushed effect. Both the 41mm rose-gold option and the 39mm yellow-gold version come in at £125,000 apiece and they’re available to buy from Browns as of today.
“Creating the custom 1017 Alyx 9SM Mad Paris Audemars Piguet fake watches for sale was really all about creating a watch I would like to wear,” explains Williams, “translating the world of Alyx in a custom timepiece with the brushed metal, no time identifier and, of course, the signature Alyx buckle reworked as a clasp.”
Tajer, who is well known for his brilliant silk shirts and worker suits, with a Miami-meets-Marrakech aesthetic all their own, took a more vibrant approach. The designer worked with MAD to utilise brightly coloured diamond-like coatings (a first for the replica watches wholesale online industry) to create a pair of bold, summery timepieces, which are every bit Casablanca confections. Both the 36mm blue, yellow and red option and the 36mm multicoloured pastel piece come in at £100,000. The 2021 fake watches store will be available from November onwards.
“Working with MAD has been a real pleasure. Creating a bespoke timepiece has been a wish of mine,” explains Tajer. “This replica watches with Swiss movements represents to me an elegant but playful luxury piece, that combines my love of the Memphis art movement and my love of colour. I always want people to enjoy our pieces and I feel it is a continuation of the positivity in Casablanca.”
This new project has been spearheaded from the outset by Browns, which has undergone a major image overhaul in recent years. The boutique, which was originally opened in 1970, unveiled a new Mayfair premises on Brook Street back in April and a slick new buying department has done much to both elevate and focus its offering in an increasingly saturated market.
The MAD partnership is a key step in the plan, allowing Browns to enter the infamously ring-fenced luxury US fake watches space in a trough entirely unique to them – and it’s a project for which buyer Thom Scherdel, who oversaw proceedings from start to finish, has high hopes in the future.
“The fine best quality imitation watches space is notoriously very classical and we wanted to take a look at it through a fresh pair of eyes. Each designer has their own aesthetic and to see where we have ended up with each model is testament to the scope of the creativity that can be accomplished,” says Scherdel. “The exciting part was not knowing where we would eventually end up. We achieved a look and feel that is totally pioneering in the industry and developed brand-new techniques in terms of the execution. It’s a special project.”
