Anyone who follows the high-end watch auctions – because ultimately, they like retro Swiss made replica watches –will know that some vintage pieces can fetch a fortune. And it’s true to say that anyone who has bought ‘right’ within the past 15 years will likely realise a handsome profit if they decide to sell.

If you happen to like the look of older perfect UK fake watches but don’t fancy dealing with the downsides of owning them (they can be fragile, expensive to service and maintain, and not always especially suited to regular use), there has never been a better time to buy a modern-day look-a-like.

Here are retro cheap replica watches we rate highly.

Replica Omega Speedmaster 57 Watches

Luxury fake Omega Speedmaster watches from the first batch made from 1957 – 1958 are as rare as hen’s teeth, somewhat fragile and cost a fortune. So it makes sense to buy one of the new ‘57’ models which gets a broad arrow hour hand and a tactile, manual-wind movement just like the original – but with the benefit of better fit and finish, Master Chronometer certification and a far smaller price tag – aka one of our fave reto 1:1 copy watches.

Fake Rolex Explorer 40 Watches

Bar the appearance of knocks and scratches picked-up during acts of derring do, most people would be hard-pressed to tell true ‘vintage’ AAA China replica Rolex Explorer watches from a new one, because the basic appearance of the watch has hardly changed since its introduction 70 years ago to mark the ascent of Everest by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. This year, however, the Rolex Explorer super clone watches for sale becomes available in a new, 40mm case.
