Why The Prototype UK Perfect Replica Rolex ‘Rainbow’ Daytona Watches Could Sell For Millions

Seen on the wrist of everyone from Adam Levine, Kevin Hart, Post Malone, Mark Wahlberg, Patrick Mahomes, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and Sylvester Stallone, the Swiss made replica Rolex “Rainbow” Daytona watches has become the ultimate status symbol—the epitome of “if you’ve got it, flaunt it”, horologically speaking.

When originally released in 2012, the high quality fake watches‘ list price was $90,000; since then it has been in and out of the Rolex catalog, and currently sells for $400,000-plus on the secondary market, with the most desirable references of the pavé-diamond dial Everose gold version often going for up to $900,000—if you can find one for sale.

This makes it the Rainbow the most expensive modern regular-production factory Daytona on the market. And a one-of-a-kind prototype of the timepiece is headed to auction in Geneva courtesy of Phillips next month, where it could go for $3.5 million, making it one of the most expensive 1:1 UK Rolex replica watches in existence.

The very first Rainbow Rolex Daytona copy watches for men ever made, it was produced as a one-off for an über-rich client in the Middle East, c.1993. The prototype has a pavé diamond dial with blue sapphire hour markers and the now famous bezel that gave the piece its name, and it comes on a leather strap in place of a metal bracelet, which looks a bit discordant in our view.

The production version of the Rainbow Daytona’s bezel features 36 baguette-cut sapphires in various colors, while the case is set with 56 diamonds and the hour markers come in the form of 11 more sapphires. Powered by Rolex’s automatic caliber 4130 the best China replica watches is waterproof up to 100 meters or 330 feet, despite all of its jewels.

Perhaps the only Daytona equal in value and rarity is the one Jay-Z wore to a ritzy Hamptons party earlier this year. That solid gold top super clone watches, originally made for the Sultan of Oman in the 1980s, is festooned with diamonds but not in rainbow colors, and sold at auction in 2023 for $4 million. It’s based on the iconic “Paul Newman” Daytona Ref. 6263.

“There will likely be several interested bidders for the historic Rainbow Daytona prototype, including Rolex itself as they often acquire such important items for their private archive,” says Paul Altieri, Founder and CEO of high-end luxury timepiece retailer Bob’s Watches, who himself owns one of the world’s top Rolex collections. “I’d love for it to go to a top collector who will also wear the Swiss movements fake watches from time to time. It’d be a shame for it to be locked away in a Swiss vault, never to be seen again.”

Apollo Astronaut Edgar Mitchell’s Space-Flown Cheap Swiss Rolex GMT-Master Fake Watches UK Comes Up For Auction

Let’s start with some perspective: fewer than 700 human beings have ever been to space. Of them, only 24 went to the Moon. And of those 24, only 12 set foot on its rocky surface. Edgar Mitchell was number six. Most wore NASA-issued Speedmasters, which are property of the US government and will not be sold. However, some astronauts wore secondary private best replica watches under their suits, and this Rolex GMT-Master is one of them.

This is Edgar Mitchell’s space-worn UK 1:1 fake Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 watches, and it was most likely on his wrist when he became the sixth person to walk the surface of the Moon. RR Auction brings it to market as we speak, which is a great excuse to explore this fascinating story.

Edgar Mitchell

Edgar Mitchell (September 17th, 1930 – February 4th, 2016) was a Texan-born US Navy officer and test pilot. Mitchell is perhaps not the most famous of the Apollo astronauts, so let me start with a quick introduction. He held a doctorate in aeronautics and astronautics. Mitchell was also an instructor in advanced mathematics and navigation theory for budding astronauts. In short, if ever someone was suited to become an astronaut, it was him.

Mitchell played an active role in the infamous Apollo 13 mission. He performed trials in the simulator to help the crew in space make the right decisions. Come 1971, he got his big moment when he piloted the Lunar Module on Apollo 14.

He spent a total of 216 hours and 42 minutes in space, 33 hours of which were on the Moon. He walked the Moon’s surface for nine hours and 23 minutes, collecting materials and installing research equipment. Mitchell and Commander Alan Shepard collected a whopping 42 kilos of material from the lunar surface.

Edgar Mitchell’s private Rolex GMT-Master

Let’s move on to the watch. Apollo astronauts famously received Omega Speedmasters to wear on the outside of their sleeves. It is far less widely known that some wore private AAA replica watches online under their suits too. Edgar Mitchell, in particular, wore a Rolex GMT-Master. Stuart Roosa, the Command Module pilot on Apollo 14, also wore a personal GMT-Master. Furthermore, Mitchell likely wore another personal Rolex on his other arm during the mission. Although RR Auction officially only labels his GMT-Master as “Apollo-flown,” it seems unlikely to me that Mitchell would’ve taken his luxury copy watches all the way up into space only to then take them for on his two four-and-a-half-hour moonwalks.

As mentioned, this GMT-Master is a ref. 1675, which Rolex produced from 1959 until 1980. Its specific serial number is 2,448,767, which you can (unofficially) track back to 1970. In short, Edgar Mitchell took a brand-new watch to the Moon. The top wholesale replica watches comes on a 1970 Oyster bracelet, which is how Edgar Mitchell wore it, as seen in several pictures from the time.

Mitchell’s private super clone watches for sale are said to have been intended as gifts for his daughters. The engraving in the case back of this GMT-Master 1675 corroborates this notion. It reads, “Worn by CDR. E. Mitchell on Apollo 14, 1971. To Karlin – My Daughter.” Fascinatingly, his daughter’s name is misspelled as “Karlin” rather than the correct “Karlyn.”

Up for auction

This watch is currently open for bidding through RR Auction. The auction house refers to it as the second Apollo-flown Rolex replica watches for men sold at auction. Apollo 17’s Ron Evans’ personal Rolex GMT-Master auctioned for US $ 131.000. RRA estimates that Mitchell’s GMT-Master will fetch upwards of US$400,000. The watch comes with a letter of authenticity and several photographs of Edgar Mitchell wearing it. The auction runs until the 25th of October, so you have plenty of time to get your bid in if you want to take a stab at it.

It is easy to get blinded by astronomical amounts of money. To us, however, it is just fun to see fake watches wholesale UK like this surface and get some attention. Lesser-known stories like this offer a little insight into the lives of these legendary astronauts.

What amazes me most is the idea that every kilogram of cargo cost NASA roughly US$18,500 (corrected for inflation) to get into space back then. So, guestimating each of his perfect Rolex replica watches to weigh around 100 grams on their bracelets, his space souvenirs cost NASA the equivalent of an extra US$3,700. I can only imagine Mitchell wasn’t all too pleased about that spelling error after all this effort!

A big thank you to Phillip from Moon Watch Universe for contributing some of the NASA images.

The Swiss Made Top Replica Watches UK We’d Like To Inherit

Some of the best stories in the watch world are created when watches are passed from one generation to the next, as UK 1:1 replica watches make excellent heirlooms and are often carefully considered as elements of one’s inheritance.

For this outing of Editors’ Picks, we offered a compelling hypothetical – what watch would you like to inherit? Here are the fake watches for sale we hope will one day be passed down to our wrists.

Tony Traina: Replica Cartier London Tank Watches With A Kickass Caseback Engraving

If I’m lucky enough to sneak onto some relative’s will and inherit perfect copy watches, it better come with a story. It better not be something I could just buy from a retailer or a friendly neighborhood Instagram dealer.

My head is spinning with hypotheticals, so I’m imagining inheriting AAA online replica watches from my grandfather that no one even knew he had. I don’t know much about my grandpa – he died when I was relatively young – but I know he dropped out of law school in Chicago (no coincidence, the same law school I eventually attended, so I’ve always felt a kinship) to serve in World War II. Most of his service was in London and the U.K. Like so many servicemen, he came back after the War and started a family.

In my imagination, he would return to London some two decades later, this time with my grandma. Perhaps it was a vacation to celebrate all three of their kids finally making their way through college.

Feeling totally luxurious and out of character, they would’ve found themselves walking down Bond Street and stumbled into Cartier London to buy something nice to celebrate their years of hard work. Gold China wholesale replica Cartier London Tank watches – why not?

They would’ve gotten it engraved on the caseback to commemorate the occasion, and Cartier would’ve sent it up to their engravers on the top floor right then and there. A nice cursive “With Love,” and the date, or something simple. Nothing too flashy, just enough to know it’s his. Enough to know it’s more than a simple Cartier Tank. It’s also a story.

Malaika Crawford: Fake Rolex Day-Date ‘Stella’ Dial Ref. 1803 Watches

How do you narrow down the choices when picking an imaginary inheritance watch? I say go glamorous because this is a made-up fantasy. Why let anything interfere with your perfect super clone watches UK in your perfect dream world? But let’s keep it realistic enough that you can still imagine it existing in your daily rotation and not in a bank vault somewhere. I want to inherit a part of the person and wear a part of them on my own person.

It’s no secret that I’m a gemstone-set/stone dial high quality fake watches junkie. And while this technically doesn’t feature gems or semi-precious stones, it’s aesthetically adjacent and a little easier to wear, and this dial is the perfect “turquoise” blue. I’m partial to very eccentric women of note with very opulent collections of accessories: I have always adored Saint Laurent muse Loulou de La Falaise adorned in her chunky coral and turquoise beads; late fashion empress and Costume Institute doyenne Diana Vreeland; as well as legendary designer and original nepo baby Paloma Picasso.

I am so jewelry-obsessed that in moments of boredom, my brain naturally plays its own highlight reel of every semi-precious stone Saint Laurent accessory ever. This luxury Rolex replica watches isn’t gem-set, but it’s evocative of an aesthetic that I love, packaged in a wearable aesthetic. If I’m inheriting a fancy watch, it needs to be something I can actually wear. I nearly led myself down the imaginary path of inheriting a vintage coral Serpenti with rubies for eyes. But this feels perfectly in-between glamorous and (sort of) practical.

TanTan Wang: Rolex Double Red Sea-Dweller Ref. 1665 Replica Watches

I’m not really a vintage guy. Don’t get me wrong – I completely understand why vintage best copy watches are so cool. They just have never resonated with me on my wrist. I think part of the reason is that I value my own stories with each watch I own, and with modern watches, I know that I will be the one making the stories that go along with the watch. However, for this prompt, I think inheriting something theoretical like a Double Red Sea-Dweller would be the perfect way for me to appreciate a vintage watch, with it being potentially the only vintage watch in my collection.

I’ve always loved the two lines of red text on the dial of the 1665, and to me, vintage 2024 Swiss replica Rolex Sea-Dweller watches have always seemed like the more interesting option when compared to the Submariner, due to the helium escape valve and lack of cyclops. It just seems different. If this were a watch that I would inherit, it would be amazing to know that the stories associated with the watch have been a part of my family, and so it would be a vintage watch that I could look forward to continuing my legacy with. While having one in amazing condition would be cool, I think one that is quite well-worn would encourage me to take it out with me into the real world.

For those who have long waited to add Swiss movements Rolex super clone watches to their collection, now may be the best time to strike.

“I think if we sort of take a step back and say ‘Well, in the real world, a new product should be more expensive than a secondhand one.’ That’s just the way it should be. And that’s how it was for decades before.”

James Kennedy, Kennedy Managing Director and CEO

As previously unattainable models begin to stabilise in price, collectors are seeing opportunities emerge that were unthinkable just a short time ago. The long-held dream of owning your favourite best Rolex replica watches might soon become a reality.
