What is a $100 Replica Rolex?
High wool counts are always desirable for the quality of cloth, but the inclusion of polyester and synthetic fibers shouldn’t be as much of a turn-off when shopping for winter outerwear as when searching for a suit or clothing for warmer weather. Natural fibers like wool, cotton, silk, and linen are considered better for the environment, but what’s better when considering the wearer himself?
There’s a reason that it’s hard to find reasonably priced outerwear that doesn’t have a composition of at least 25% polyester or other synthetic fibers like nylon or rayon. Polyester is stronger and more flexible than many natural fibers, and its lack of breathability that makes it burdensome in the summer can be a blessing to wearers hoping to retain heat in the winter.
If you’re looking for dressier outerwear like an overcoat to wear with a suit, a higher wool count is desirable. If you’re looking for a durable winter workhorse such as a pea coat or casual walker, don’t let a high polyester count dissuade you.

The pea coat is a traditional winter wardrobe essential that originates in the 1720s. The British and Dutch navies, whose sailors utilized it to protect themselves from the fierce winds and rains of the North Sea, are where it first appeared. The coat, which was first referred to as a “p-coat” or “pijjekker,” was fashioned of strong, thick wool to help keep the sailors warm. The classic pea coat is double-breasted, has a wide collar that can be turned up for added protection, and is cut short to the hip.
Three centuries later, the pea coat retains its venerable double-breasted, short-length design properties but reimagined with a lighter fabric composition that better suits the needs of a modern wearer less prone to taking to the high seas. Today, you can find pea coats made from a variety of materials including wool, cashmere, cotton, and alpaca, which create a lighter and more comfortable version of the traditional pea coat. In terms of style, the pea coat has a timeless and classic look that is both elegant and functional.
Military uniforms have long served as a source of inspiration for fashion designers. Military garments' masculine and functional designs have been adapted for everything from streetwear to black tie, and the pea coat is no exception. The pea coat has become a staple for many men and women due to its ability to provide cold-weather protection, its ageless classic design, and its ability to be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

The Definitive Guide: Fake Vs Real Vs Replica Rolex
In today’s globalised fashion world, it’s impossible to imagine that any single country can invent and then ring-fence a tailoring style for long. But let’s not forget that men’s suits are steeped in tradition and their features developed over time, always adapting to circumstances and the requirements of the men that wore them. Throughout the years, three distinctive schools of suit tailoring emerged: the British, the American and the Italian.
In the 19th century, the Prince of Wales commissioned Henry Poole of Savile Row to design a tail-less jacket. This eventually led to the formation of the British suit which is structured, fairly rigid and inspired by military uniforms. In the early 20th century, U.S.-based Brooks Brothers offered their customers cheaper suits that were mass-produced. This required some tailoring adjustments which gave birth to the American suit. Finally, Italy always had a distinctive style and in the 1950s a number of fashion houses emerged with a characteristic Italian style which was better suited to the Mediterranean weather and temperament.
Needless to say, successful details were eventually adopted around the world so, if you want to identify the style that a particular suit belongs to, you will need to look for a combination of features. To make things easier for you, we’ve gathered the main points in a table.
Mens Fashion Styling
To be fair, the unique styling of the Rolex Explorer II 1655, which makes its way into the Black Bay Pro, is far more interesting and unique than the Submariner styling that graces the Tudor Black Bay 58. The only real fly in the ointment there is that Tudor actually manufactured a version of the Submariner under its own branding from 1954—the year after Rolex first unveiled the Submariner—to 1978, whereas the Pro’s Explorer styling is entirely manufactured for the sake of looking cool.
But it does look cool. Very cool. The Black Bay, before the 58, set the world alight in 2012 when it reimagined the vintage look that Rolex had slowly drifted from, offering an affordable price point that better matched the apparent age of the watch. The 58 shrank that down, ditched the date and refined the whole package into what many consider to be a flawless watch—fake riveted bracelet notwithstanding.
The Black Bay 58, however, despite its warm faux-aged tones, references as much from the 80s Submariners with the metal marker surrounds as it does those original 1950s versions, which did without crown guards and wore a larger crown. So, it’s a healthy mix of all the best bits—but some might consider the Pro’s bits to be even better.
You’ll notice on the Pro there’s no marker surrounds, and that the orange GMT hand has been faded according to its apparent age. The hands aren’t crisp and shiny, they’re a rugged matte black, just like the original—even if the original’s were white and black. Even the crown looks closer to the Rolex original, albeit from an earlier guard-less Submariner rather than the 1655.
It’s not a straight rip-off of the 1655, however, at least not entirely. The divisive but immediately identifiable Tudor Snowflake hand is very much present, and the shape of the markers follows a more traditional routine than the 1655’s … whatever that was. The Black Bay Pro is less a homage to the 1655 and more an unmitigated "what if?” in answer to the question: “What does the coolest Rolex/Tudor mash-up look like?”
The 58 and the Pro really trade blows when it comes to specification. What you lose in the dive bezel you gain in the GMT hand. What’s traded for the luxuriously shiny markers are genuinely innovative ceramic disks pigmented with luminous paint for a brighter glow.
Both pack 39mm cases, both pack 200m of water-resistance and both pack a chronometer-certified, 70-hour in-house movement from Tudor’s own manufacturer Kenissi. Both are available with the riveted bracelet, leather strap or fabric strap—although the Pro’s clasp, in keeping with the name, is more adjustable.
Back in the 58’s camp and, right now at least, there are more options with the case. There’s a blue version too. And you’re not limited to steel—gold, bronze and silver also abound, although the bronze takes inspiration from a different Submariner for its dial layout.
But the surprise fly and/or extra booze in the punch bowl is the addition of the date to the Pro. Now, some people loved the 58 most because it shirked the date in favour of delicious originality and simplicity, whereas others, who apparently don’t have a phone, computer, newspaper or any other implement with a date on it, who also remember which months they need to adjust said date, decried its absence. No prizes for guessing which camp I’m in.
And so, Tudor, in its infinite wisdom, determined that no professional buying a Pro watch could be without a date, and so there it is. It’s a plus on paper, an extra spec, but it’s on the fence with regards to whether or not it turns the dial from simplistic perfection to one with a useless, asymmetric hole in it. You can be judge of that.
