UK High Quality Replica Rolex Nicknames Watches Every Watch Collector Should Know, From Kermit To Paul Newman

Cheap Rolex replica watches is such a force to be reckoned with in the luxury world, and its products are so iconic, that an entire nickname-based taxonomy has developed around the brand’s wares. 

Batman

Top UK fake Rolex GMT-Master II watches—the Ref 116710BLNR introduced in 2013—with a blue and black bezel insert. This reference was subsequently upgraded to the Ref. 126710BLNR and given the newer Calibre 3285 movement in 2019, but it kept the Dark Knight-inspired name.

Batgirl

The perfect replica Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126710BLNR watches with a blue and black bezel insert…and a Jubilee bracelet. What distinguished this model as the “Batgirl” was the addition of the Jubilee bracelet in 2019 and a new generation movement, however now this reference is currently available with either a Jubilee or an Oyster bracelet making it hard to distinguish between its “Batman” counterpart without box and papers or an expert to confirm the interior caliber.

Bart Simpson

Bart Simpson: This is some in-the-weeds stuff, but: The crown on certain luxury copy Rolex reference 5513 Submariner watches made in the mid-1960s — which were the last to feature “gilt” printing — have a coronet (the Rolex crown logo) that looks strikingly similar to Bart Simpson’s hair. 

Big Crown

Big Crown: This term refers to early Swiss movements Rolex Submariner replica watches with a larger, 8mm crown signed with the word “brevet” (“patent,” in English), and no crown guards. The first reference to use such a crown was the 6200, but the 6538 Sub worn by Sean Connery in Dr. No also featured one, as did the 5510. (Later models would feature smaller crowns, while Ref. 5512 Subs and later feature crown guards.)

Big Red

A standout of the first generation of manually-wound 1:1 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona super clone watches, the “Big Red” denotes a Ref. 6263 with a black tachymeter bezel, screw-down pushers, a black or silver dial, and the word “Daytona” in large, red typeface skirting the edge of the 12-hour totalizer at 6 o’clock. Though not as valuable as “Paul Newman” variants, “Big Reds” trade for big bucks.

Bubble

In 2023, Rolex launched a cool new best Rolex Oyster Perpetual replica watches featuring multiple colors—references to its 2020 slew of OP releases—set against a turquoise blue background. Officially called the “Celebration Dial” by the brand, the pink, green, yellow, and red balloon-shaped circles positively pop, making for a fun piece that can be enjoyed by anyone given its 31mm, 36mm, or 41mm sizing. (70 hours of power reserve and 100m of water resistance present and accounted for—though they’ll probably go unnoticed by most collectors.)

Bubbleback

Early Oyster Perpetual models were outfitted with movements whose design necessitated a slightly raised, ovular case back that protruded from the plane of the watch case—hence the “bubbleback” moniker. Rolex made gobs of these beautiful—albeit smallish—AAA fake Rolex watches from the 1930s through roughly the ’50s. 

Buckley (Dial)

A type of Day-Date or Datejust dial that features painted Roman numerals, rather than applied versions. The nickname comes from one John Buckley, a collector and dealer based in N.Y.C., and a big fan of this dial type.

Coke

Swiss made Rolex GMT-Master II replica watches with a red and black aluminum bezel insert, which first appeared on the Ref. 16760, and subsequently appeared on Ref. 16710. Currently, there is no “Coke” in the Rolex catalog.

Emoji

Launched in 2023 was a series of precious-metal Day-Date models with curious features: Each has a multi-colored, champlevé enamel dial in the shape of puzzle pieces, an assortment of rainbow-hued, baguette diamond hour indices, a date wheel replaced by emojis, and a day wheel replaced with uplifting words such as “Gratitude, “Faith,” and “Love.” Alternatively called an “Emoji Puzzle” Day-Date or simply “Puzzle,” this best quality fake Rolex watches is perhaps Rolex’s biggest-ever aesthetic departure from its typically conservative designs.

Fat Lady

When the wholesale replica Rolex GMT-Master II watches debuted in 1983 in the Ref. 16760—a watch that would otherwise be known as a “Coke”—it featured a case 0.5 mm thicker than its predecessor in order to accommodate a new caliber 3085 movement. This particular reference has thus become known as the “Fat Lady”…or, alternatively, the “Sophia Loren” in reference to the Italian actress’s famous curves. (It also included a sapphire crystal, white gold hour surrounds, and independent local hour setting, making it the first truly “modern” GMT-Master variant.)

Green Lantern

In early 2022, Rolex released a left-handed GMT-Master II with a green and black bezel that technically has three aliases: “Green Lantern”, the “Sprite,” or the “Destro” (Italian for right because left-handers are meant to wear their Rolex replica watches for sale on their right hand) depending upon whom you ask. It’s available on both Oyster and Jubilee bracelets.

Luxury Swiss Fake Rolex Watches UK Fined €91.6 Million EUR For Banning Online Sales

Rolex replica watches for sale is facing a €91.6 million EUR fine for banning the online sale of its product by authorized distributors for more than a decade, per France’s Haute Autorité de la Concurrence.

The national competition regulator stated that the luxury 1:1 Rolex fake watches brand’s digital sales prohibition was “serious,” as it “amounted to closing a commercialization channel, to the detriment of consumers and distributors, while online distribution has been growing momentum for the past 15 years for luxury goods, including watches.”

Top AAA replica Rolex watches previously justified the ban as a measure of protecting its branded products from counterfeiting, but the board dismissed the Swiss label’s argument, stating that it was not proportionate. Additionally, the regulator cited several competitors that have “put solutions in place,” particularly technologically, to engage in online sales while safely combatting counterfeiters.

The organization explained that because Rolex created “a program for the online purchase of pre-owned cheap Rolex copy watches, whose authenticity it guarantees” with a retailer, “an absolute ban on the online selling of its products cannot therefore be justified.” However, Rolex did not face any penalties for alleged price restricting, with regulators stating that “the evidence in the case did not prove Rolex France had restricted the pricing freedom of its authorized retailers.”

High quality Rolex replica watches has not yet commented on the news. The Haute Autorité de la Concurrence expects Rolex France, Rolex Holding SA, Rolex SA and the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation to clear the fine.

Lost And Found: Vintage UK 1:1 Best Rolex Submariner Replica Watches Discovered On The Ocean Floor Returns Home After A Five-Year Adventure

Skiing down Mont Blanc, sailing the Pacific Ocean, and sitting lost in a septic tank for over a year. These are just some of the incredible adventures that Ric Outrim’s perfect UK Rolex Submariner replica watches has endured, and it has kept ticking without complaint. But its greatest adventure has just wrapped up, and this one took almost five years. 

The lost and found vintage Rolex Submariner

Back in July, we brought you the incredible story of Ric’s lost Rolex Submariner. Australian professional surfer Matt Cuddihy found the high quality Rolex fake watches while he was snorkeling and collecting rubbish off the Queensland coast near the surfing town of Noosa. Ric saw our story on Fratello, and before long, he had proven his connection to the lost Rolex thanks to an inscription on the back of the top Rolex copy watches, which simply reads “R. Outrim, Presented 1971.” It turns out that it had been under the ocean for four years — first lost in 2019, then found in 2023. (A quick side note, dear readers: we came across a separate story of a Rolex found in Queensland, which we covered here. It is unrelated to Ric’s story.)

The moment Ric knew that someone had found his luxury replica Rolex watches, he “broke down and wept.” When he realized that he would get the watch back thanks to Matt’s honesty and efforts, he said, “I am so grateful for this to be returned. It’s unbelievable. You would never think this could happen. I am so emotional.” 

Life’s adventures with a Rolex strapped to the wrist

Ric had a special attachment to his Rolex Submariner. It had accompanied him on every twist and turn of his life’s journey since he received it at 18 years old from his father, a sailor and former member of the Royal Australian Navy. Those adventures included tying the knot, winning a few sailing races, backpacking across Europe, and working in Switzerland. The Swiss made fake Rolex watches was a connection to his father, who died in the early 2000s. “It’s finally come back home; it’s a big thing,” Ric said.

Overjoyed, Matt told Fratello that he was “stoked” that Ric had gotten his Rolex back. “I am so stoked for Ric. His Rolex is right back where it should be — on his wrist telling time and ready for more adventures. I told him I didn’t want to see it in my aquatic garbage collection again!” In addition to sharing his find on Fratello in an attempt to find the owner, Matt had also posted on his social media to more than 25,000 followers. At the time he was overwhelmed by the response, but it was only by chance that Ric had seen the Fratello story and reached out. 

Rolex refurbished and back at home again

When Ric was able to prove his ownership of the AAA Rolex super clone watches, Matt helped put him in touch with Rolex so that he could have the barnacle-encrusted timepiece repaired. In December, the watch returned from Rolex. At Ric’s request, the brand had completely refurbished it and included the original parts with the watch. Inside one of the zip-lock bags was even one of the barnacles that was attached to the watch when Matt found it in the ocean. The watch also arrived on a period-correct Oyster bracelet from Rolex (Ric had lost the original and was wearing the watch on a Velcro band when it fell off his wrist in the surf). 

Fratello understands that just one watchmaker at Rolex was the dedicated expert on the refurbishment from start to finish. The process took the greater part of six months, something that touched Ric. “I would like to say ‘thank you’ to that watchmaker because it’s clear how much love and effort went into this project,” he said. “We had lunch together with the Rolex team in Brisbane. It was missing for such a while that I had sort of reconciled with this sense of deep loss. I never thought it would come back to me, but Rolex was amazing. The people there were so good to me. They gave the watch so much special attention.”

“A friend for the rest of my life”

Ric always wanted to have the watch completely refurbished while keeping as many of the original components as possible so that he could take it surfing and swimming again. Not only has that happened, but the perfect Rolex replica watches has also become a story of friendship. Matt and Ric met for lunch in Noosa and now are regularly in touch, sharing a passion for nature, the sea, and surfing. “I’d like to have Matt as a friend for the rest of my life. He’s a person of very high caliber,” Ric said. 

The next plan? Ric wants to take the refurbished wholesale fake Rolex Submariner watches to the spot where he lost it and go surfing with Matt. “Now that it’s back, I’d like to go back to National Park where I lost it surfing, go surfing with Matt, and retrace my steps with it on my wrist.” So perhaps, in a sense, the watch’s adventures are just beginning again, not ending with this chapter of the story. 

Final thoughts

We don’t like to inject ourselves into stories like these too much at Fratello. However, Ric insisted that he add a “thank you” to the author and the editorial staff for helping him in the journey that reunited him with his Swiss movements Rolex super clone watches. “You are one of the people who brought this whole thing together with your stories on Fratello, Henry. The whole experience was surreal. Thank you,” he said. Personally, it has been a touching experience for this writer to have shared some of this journey with Ric and Matt. I am so happy to have seen the watch returned to its rightful home. Thanks to RJ and Fratello’s managing editor Nacho for championing this series too and setting up the articles and photographs for publication.

This experience has given Ric a new appreciation for Rolex, watches in general, and the community of enthusiasts. And while Matt, who has become a Fratello reader since the first part of the story broke, would love 2024 China replica Rolex watches, he says he likes the approachable vibe and designs of modern Tudor, a fitting watch for the wrist of a professional surfer and someone who spends his private time in the water cleaning up his local beaches. This is how the story ends. For now, I wish you all a happy holiday season and look forward to bringing you more stories next year.
