US Perfect Replica Rolex Submariner ref. 1680/8
Let’s end this list with a more extravagant pick. Sure, we could have picked the ref. 5512 to complete this list of collective favorites. That would make Robert-Jan happy because he favors the ref. 5512 over the ref. 5513 any day of the week. Despite my alignment with the rest of the team in the preference for ref. 5513, Robert-Jan and I find each other in the joint admiration for this classic full gold best fake Rolex Submariner watches. The ref. 1680/8 is the gold version of the first Sub and was produced from 1969 until 1979.
You could choose either blue or black high quality copy watches of the 1680/8 during its production run. The combination of a full gold case and bracelet with a vibrant blue dial and bezel is especially captivating. Over time, the color of these blue dials and bezels changed quite noticeably. We have seen versions that became darker, and some have a slightly purple glow like the one you see in the pictures. Rolex used its caliber 1575 inside the 1680/8. The movement operates at 19,800vph and has a 48-hour power reserve.
Picking between the ref. 1680/8 and the ref. 16808
So why this reference over the later ref. 16808? There is no reason, because both luxury replica Rolex Submariner watches are great options. The latter might be the better technical choice, even. For the ref. 16808, Rolex switched to the caliber 3035, which upped the beat rate to 28,800vph. The aesthetic of the successor was mainly the same, with the nipple dial and the same available colors. Both colors have a certain charm. I have gone on record saying nothing beats the combination of black and gold, but seeing the blue US cheap super clone watches also excites me.
The gold versions cost more than the vintage stainless steel models. However, the price differences are not as drastic as you might think, simply because the vintage stainless steel references can be expensive. Expect to see prices for a full gold ref. 1680/8 or ref. 16808 start at a little over €20K and moves up to triple that amount for the ones in excellent condition. For that money, you will buy a full gold version of one of top replica Rolex watches’ greatest, if not the greatest, classics. There is not much left to desire once you have one of these. At least for me, there isn’t.
