1952 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 6098 Replica Watches With “Waffle” Textured Dial
An entirely different waffle-textured dial than the new Land-Dweller, this best 1:1 fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches, made in either 1952 or 1953, is special in a few ways. Firstly, the reference. If you fire up Google and punch in “Rolex ref. 6098” you’re going to find some truly spectacular copy watches wholesale UK. I’m talking about half a million dollar star or “Galaxy” dials and “Pre-Explorer” examples worn by Sir Edmund Hillary and other early Everest explorers. In the 1950s, this was Rolex’s do everything, be anything 36mm Oyster Perpetual—the brand used it for everything, both common and special.
While the one we have here probably sits more towards the common end of the 6098 spectrum, it is still special and far more accessible. The honeycomb or waffle-textured dial, which collectors tend to use the terms somewhat interchangeably, is clean and devoid of any luminous material. Which, in this case, is intentional rather than a condition flaw. Without lume in the hands, the dial has not been exposed to the radiation that would come with it, resulting in a very even patina throughout that matches the yellow gold case quite well.
Interestingly, the serial number of this luxury replica watches, 917,XXX, sits within the same range as those incredibly rare and uber-expensive Galaxy dials I previously mentioned and linked out to. For under $20,000, you can own a watch that is not only great on its own but was made alongside one of the most collectible vintage Rolex oddities.

1960s Patek Philippe Ref. 96 Calatrava Fake Watches In 18k Yellow Gold
Top 2025 replica Patek Philippe‘s original Calatrava watches—before it was known as the Calatrava—is the reference 96, which was produced for over 40 years, from 1932 to 1973. As with any area of vintage watch collecting, typically the earlier the production, the better. But with the 96, outside of special dials or case metals, condition really does top everything else. This is a small, 31.5mm in diameter, simple cheap UK copy watches. With that, the general tendency is to focus on the condition. And while I can sometimes disagree with the overall hyper-fixation on perfect, perfect condition, for the 96, I wholeheartedly support collectors waiting for a really nice one.
This example is just that—really nice. It’s not the oldest version of this reference, as it was produced in the 1960s, and no, it’s not a special variant either. In fact, it’s probably the most common. But the condition is very, very nice. The “short signature” dial looks, from the photos at least, to be excellent with no major spots or flaws. Patek signatures are hard to examine from afar, especially when a small auction house takes sub-par photos, but I would take the gamble here as it looks clean. Notably, the case condition is super strong. Just look at that hallmark on the case flank and the general shape of the lugs. As smaller Swiss China fake watches, you want to find an example with nice, full lugs to get the most out of the original design.
I’m not a huge fan of this vintage 14k yellow gold bracelet, but it is still a positive. If you’re like me and hate the look, you can take it off, fit your favorite strap, and sell the bracelet to reduce your cost. Boom, you just bought a vintage Patek for a discount.
