It’s one of the big-hitters in the Swiss fake Rolex line-up, a true alpha watch that hogs the limelight at the biggest auctions and is synonymous with one of the coolest actors that ever lived. But with all this comes a price tag that’ll make your wallet wince.
We are of course talking about—what else? — the mighty 1:1 replica Rolex Daytona. It’s a watch that’s on many a collector’s ‘want list’, but sometimes in life we have to compromise. For those who aren’t lucky enough to leapfrog the waiting list, or for whom even a pre-used model is beyond their budget, we’ve assembled some worthy alternatives.
Fake Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 311.30.42.30.01.005
Yes, the Daytona will forever be surrounded by the sacred aura of Paul Newman but this iconic AAA replica Omega UK had the rocket fuel of NASA to propel it to stardom, making it perhaps the most famous chronograph ever made. The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch fake for men has all the kudos of its Rolex rival and is more easily available, while it also comes with both self-winding and, like this version, manual movements—unlike the Daytona, which is only self-winding.
Replica TAG Heuer Carrera CV2010.FC6233
The cheap fake TAG Heuer can claim to have a far stronger motor-racing pedigree than Rolex thanks to models like the Monaco, Monza and the Carrera, which was introduced in 1963. This means the Carrera shares the same birth year as the Daytona, and they were once run on the same movement. Thankfully one thing they don’t have in common is price range. The perfect replica TAG Heuer Carrera UK costs a fraction of what you’ll pay for a Daytona and for that you get a fine-looking watch that’s soaked in heritage.
Copy Breitling Navitimer AB0127
In the chronograph Hall of Fame, the Swiss made fake Breitling Navitimer’s place is assured, thanks to an illustrious history that involves its own space mission. NASA astronaut Scott Carpenter wore one when he orbited the Earth in the Aurora 7 space capsule in 1962. And whereas the Daytona is associated with motor-racing, the Breitling Navitimer replica for men UK has proved its mettle in the field of aviation for decades.
