Generally, the gem-set replica watches aren't fit for all. On one hand, all that ice racks up the price tag, and for another, it takes a certain type of person to appreciate the — occasionally over-the-top — artistry it takes to make a watch shine like the proverbial crazy diamond or sapphire. However, even though it's none of your business, you can't deny the power and efficiency. 
One of the main standouts of Basel 2019, the latest model to get the replica Rolex's popular rainbow bezel treatment is the fake Ever-rose Daytona, and it is a knockout. On top of the usual Daytona awesomeness, you get 36 baguette sapphires on the bezel and another 56 diamonds on the case. The final touch is the pink gold crystal registers. You need to see this watch IRL to appreciate just how amazing it is.
The second and indeed final, rainbow set watch on this list could not be any more stylistically different to the Daytona. Hublot's big tonneau, the Spirit of Big Bang pairs its gem-set bezel with a barely-there sapphire case. And even if the watch is transparent, there is zero chance this replica Hublot is slipping under the radar.
There is so much going on here. There's a green mother of pearl dial, an exquisitely sculpted microscopic gold forest. And that's before we get to the dude riding on a chariot carried by a butterfly. But you know what, even amid all that opulence, the exceptional sub-dial, and fully set with baguette-cut diamonds steals the show.
Holding this replica watch was another real highlight of Baselworld for me. Boasting a whopping 950 diamonds, weighing up to an equally whopping 22.68 carats, this watch is complete decadence. But there's more to it than just the frosting. The movement is Chanel's third in-house effort, the impressively skeletonized Calibre 3. As far as I am concerned, though, the real highlight was that bracelet, which, even though it's heavy with gold and ice, moves as supplely as silk. 
There's pink, and then there's PINK. Franck Muller's Gravity, with its supersized tourbillon, is already a head-turner, but case it in the most bubblegum of bubblegum pinks and cover it with a liberal dusting of diamonds and you've got a watch that's a flat-out showstopper. Yes, it's billed as a lady's watch, and yes, it's a quartz model. But can I see myself wearing this 35.6mm steel watch with 46 diamonds weighing down the bezel? Of course, that's the sure thing.
This fake 34mm Rolex Chronometer 4448 is an amazing example of an understated watch worth boasting about, which features a rose gold casing and a nice patina. This replica watch doesn't need any introduction, yet commands attention with its finely crafted details and undeniable style.
No matter if you're pairing your Date with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, an Italian wool suit, or a tuxedo, the brushed steel finish and stunning white dial make this watch that can do it all.
The popular model has one of the longest uninterrupted life spans of any reference and is the one that has gone through the least number of upgrades or improvements. While Rolex's sports range underwent massive changes in style, the Explorer soldiered on unadorned, upholding the brand's tool-like origins pretty much single-handed. A testament to its timeless appeal, this 35mm watch is the perfect example of what every adventurous and refined mid-sized watch aspire towards.
The fake Bubble-back is one of the first automatic winding Rolex watches, which comes with the personified history. It is also one of the most traditional vintage models in the Rolex catalog. Of course, its signature feature is the Bubble-back case, featured by a thicker, protruding case. The other version pictured here features a two-tone stainless steel case with a smooth yellow gold bezel. Mid-sized watches like the Oyster Perpetual 3313 are timeless, attracting both replica watch fans and fashion icons alike.
The partnership came after Bryant had collaborated with the boutique luxury brand Nubeo, a Swiss watchmaker that subsequently went under during the recession. Number and Bryant had actually partnered to create their own Black Mamba watch, but it never got quite off the ground. We got the news that Bryant was excited about the partnership because of the brand's keen attention to detail, and when the Hublot came knocking not long after, it seemed like the perfect next step — particularly with a company that had such a strong and innovative reputation.
The first Black Mamba watch released by Hublot and Bryant was back in 2013. The replica watch is outfitted with the HUB 4248 self-winding, 28 jewels, mechanical chronograph Movement, housed within an oversized 48mm black ceramic case. But it's the face of this replica watch that draws you right in — black, gold, and purple were used as a homage to the Lakers, the stunning mechanics of the watch peeking through the face.
Bryant took part in the fake Hublot team for their uniqueness in the luxury watch brand market, and that shines through in their 2015 Big Bang Unico Retrograde Chronograph Kobe "Vino" Bryant. Like the first watch created in his honor, 'Vino' is off of another one of the basketball player's nicknames. 
The most attractive part of the fake watch is the Bordeaux red face, and the raised, 47mm, 18k gold, and black ceramic bezel. Under the face is a Hublot Unico caliber HUB1261 automatic movement, comprised of 385 parts, which you can peer at through a green-tinted sapphire crystal on the back. The face of the watch almost looks like a basketball with a bumpy texture added to add dimension. The watch itself is a beautiful juxtaposition of such perceptions, contrasting a black ceramic bezel against a lustrous face.
Almost 20 years later, the Radiomir as we know it was born. Built for the Frogmen—a particular commando division of the Royal Italian Navy—the Radiomir was a big 47mm steel cushion-cased wristwatch with wire lugs welded to the case. These pieces by the Panerai were designed with bright luminous indices in a "California dial" configuration, straps long enough to wrap over a diving as well as the waterproof cases. Some of the early variants of these fake watches that have surfaced over the years have been found fitted with hand-winding Rolex calibers.
Not only was this of great help to the members of the Navy who put them to the test in the field, but also created a special aesthetic that makes a fake Panerai watch easy to distinguish from anything else on the marketplace. Though minor design tweaks have been made along the way, this overall aesthetic has remained a vital part of the Panerai lineup, and the brand has unveiled a
significant range of Radiomir models through the years.
The Panerai Radiomir 42mm was first unveiled in 2010, and received a very warm welcome from replica watches enthusiasts all around the world. While the huge majority of the replica Panerai's offerings were generally on the larger side at the time, the new Radiomir was the first in this design to be scaled down to a more modest 42mm. Owing to its flat construction and wire lugs, it still has ample presence on the wrist, though this update surely opened up the doors to more collectors that previously found the model a touch too oversized. Even though a rather casual-looking piece overall, it obviously has the right profile to tuck under a shirt cuff while named in for day-to-day office duty.
you don't. Given in either steel or red gold versions — both with white dials — the replica watch is effortlessly, unashamedly classic. The black printed sans-serif Arabic numerals, railroad-style minute track, seconds dial, and IWC logo are crisply printed and given some space on the large dial. The blued steel leaf-style hands add a flash of color, a dash of style, and are an essential factor of the Portugieser DNA. Even the date — the traditional bugbear of the watch nerd — is well done: neatly integrated into the dial layout, legible with well-matching color and typeface. Side note, I actually prefer this logotype to the more sprawling, cursive logotype used on the heritage Portugiesers from a few years ago. It looks rather cleaner, feels less like a heritage reissue, which is great because it isn't.
However typically, I'd scoff at replica watches with this sort of classic chronometer style dial in a 43mm case, but the Portugieser gets a pass, as the original was just as large, thanks to its use of a big pocket fake watch movements. And speaking of movements, the caliber 59215 is the other star of this watch, the ever-steady rhythm to the soaring melody that is the dial. With its whopping eight days of power, hidden power reserve indicator, traditional big bridge architecture, and Breguet spring, this is the sort of movement that made IWC great. There's even a charming little gold medallion celebrating the 150th-anniversary inset into the movement.
Both models are provided on formal black alligator straps with pin buckles. And while I really love the richness and contrast offered in the red gold version, I absolutely wouldn't say no to the steel.
The overall effect was similar to the psychedelic paint job on John Lennon's Rolls Royce; a watch as traditional and old-school as a Brooklyn brownstone dragged into the modern era to appeal to a completely different type of buyer.
Originally targeted at the Middle East market, the Stella dial watches failed to find an especially enthusiastic response in their day, resulting in a short-lived production run.
In the past few years, the price for vintage pieces has been rising steadily, and the modest 36mm dimensions have led to as many females as men seeking out the increasingly rare editions. Since the dials were made from solid enamel, finding one in good condition is becoming more and more of a challenge as the material is prone to cracking.
However, they are proving so popular that the replica Rolex has taken steps to stress their resurgence and brought out a fresh series of kaleidoscopic Day-Dates for the 21st century.
What can't be denied is that it takes the Day-Date along previously unexplored paths, turning the once most ceremonial of 
Rolex tried to design a typical update on the Submariner in the early 1990s, which gained a reputation for its resistance to water and corrosion. First introduced in 1954 at the Basal Watch Fair, this classic fake sports watch was perfect for deep diving and aqua adventures. However, the appearance of the Submariner lacked a certain gorgeous and sophistication. It lacked real panache and polish. Rolex changed all that with its design of the Yacht-Master.
This stunning new wristwatch was so great for the high seas but chic enough for a luxury dinner at the country club or a formal business affair. Marrying the contemporary luxury of Rolex with the functionality of a nautical device, this new breed of watches was a popular twist on beloved racing watches like the Daytona.
To style, this watch is simply a matter of opting to dress with an effortlessly casual sensibility. A pair of flat front Dockers in a caramel khaki or a dark pebble brown will be ideal when paired with a checkered long-sleeve button-up shirt. And a pair of loafers or lace-up boots finishes this stress-free style.
Forget the fashion formalities, these 
One could make an argument that this is actually the most sophisticated replica watch here. And it's another serious, serious timekeeper. The Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Editon '150 Years' is exactly what it sounds like: a classic Portugieser case in red gold with a clean white lacquer dial showing the day, date, month, year, moon phase, and seven-day power reserve, all while displaying a tourbillon at 12 o'clock. Just like what I said, it's pretty serious.
This fake watch runs on the new caliber 51950, the first replica IWC movement to have both a perpetual calendar and a dial-side tourbillon. As you might expect from the reference number, this movement bases on the earlier caliber 51900, but with the QP added. There is a massive gold winding rotor housing the "150 Years" medallion that you can see through the sapphire back. The movement looks every bit like the part of a modern IWC caliber.
This might be my favorite execution of the Da Vinci yet. The case is the same 40.4mm stainless steel case that you've seen on previous Da Vinci Automatic models, but the details on this version are completely different. Most notably, the seconds are equipped in a sub-dial at six o'clock instead of with a central hand, and there is no date window either.
You can see how rich the blue lacquer looks from this angle. Of course, I'd almost always take a real enamel dial over lacquer, but on a watch like this, I think the lacquer works really normally. Powering the 
This model is one of the oldest and most collectible among the various iterations of the Speedmaster. With a rather short production run that lasted from 1959 until 1962, the fake watch was produced with eight sub-references, each with its own list of subtle differences and variations.
Like all other Speedmaster watches, this model is powered by Omega's hand-wound, Caliber 321 movement. With an earlier and more limited production than the subsequent Caliber 861 and Caliber 1861 movements, the Caliber 321 movement and the early reference 2998 Speedmaster watches that contain it, are often considered the rarest and highly sought-after among collectors today.
One of the defining features of the fake Speedmaster is its 39 mm diameter case with straight lugs. Most contemporary Speedmaster references feature Omega's signature, twisted lugs; however, the earliest iterations of the Speedmaster, such as the other models, had cases with straight lugs. This feature combined with its smaller case diameter and "Base 500" bezel with a dot over 90, makes for an unmistakably vintage appearance.
What's more, unlike contemporary Speedmaster watches like the #SpeedyTuesday edition, this replica watch was fitted with triangular, "Alpha" hands. However, by the time Omega launched that model, only the central hour and minute hands were of the Alpha design; the chronograph sub-dials got fitted with straight hands, while the central second's hand got fake Omega's "Spear" style chronograph hand.
Because of their age and limited production run, surviving examples of the replica Omega Speedmaster have become quite rare and valuable today. The Omega Speedmaster is among the most iconic and well-respected watches all over the world all the time.
