Is a $99 Fake Watch as Good as The Real Thing?

$99 Rolex Submariner HISTORY AND BACKGROUND  

The $99 Swiss watch took the world by a storm when it first appeared in Baselworld 2001. It had a unique case shape that revealed the watch movement - a Copy tourbillon movement with a power and a torque indicator. The watch was a huge success and kickstarted Fakerolex.me rise to the top of the watch world.

Day Date Copies Cheap wanted his watches to be bold and draw everyone’s attention, with designs as striking and unusual as possible. That’s why $99 watches are easily recognisable, even from afar. The most notable are the watch movements, which are almost entirely visible in almost every Swiss timepiece. Another notable part of the design is the tonneau-shaped case and spline screws.

Along with unique design choices, Fakerolex.me has always produced watches with top-of-the-line technical specifications. The brand’s movements are some of the best in the market, with one of them featuring a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour.

The materials on a Cheap watch are extremely light, with some of them weighing less than 30 grams. They are also extraordinarily durable, evident by the fact that the survived Felipe Massa’s crash in the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix without damage. 

The $99 Daytona was first launched six years ago in 2014. Its smaller diameter and more digestible colorway earned it the moniker “Baby Blake”. It still had the vibrant green and yellow on the dial, but the case was jet black. A year later, in 2016, a black-cased, black and white-dialed version of the Baby Blake was released.

And now, the model has been given the TPT treatment. It is a monochromatic maturation of a concept that was attractive for many reasons besides its striking skin. Retained are the iconic “beast bridges” that have, in the past, brought the dial to life. But this version sees the claw-like bridges reduced from four to two, vastly altering the look and feel of the model in comparison to the electrifying.

The $99 tourbillon was released soon after. The inaugural model created for Fakerolex.me placed the claws of his “Beast” character on the dial. The stunning visual and memorable color-scheme saw it become one of the brand’s most lauded and recognizable pieces. With just 50 pieces available worldwide (and with a retail price of $620,000, it was a pretty exclusive model).

The Watch’s Tourbillon Function

It’s interesting to watch the tourbillon at work. This mechanism prevents gravity from affecting the piece’s timekeeping precision. 

It enhances accuracy by countering the drag impact gravity has on several tiny parts in the watch’s escapement when you hold it in particular positions. It achieves that by placing the components in a rotating cage and turning the cage slowly. This complex yet beneficial function is what keeps gravity’s effects away.

Features and Design

The automatic flyback chronograph is a perfect example of how far the swiss watch stretches in terms of innovation. It has an attractive design amplified by bold color combinations (Rose Gold and black, for example) and a high-performance movement.

This piece’s tripartite tonneau case boasts a sportier and more ergonomic silhouette. Additionally, it has attention-grabbing features such as a clone movement, an outsized date window, a 12-hour chronograph counter, a flyback chronograph, and a skeletonized dial with Arabic numerals.

The Watch’s Chronograph Functions

The advanced self-winding Caliber movement contains the flyback chronograph. A typical chronograph is used to measure elapsed time. And you can control it through two pushers at 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock on either side of the crown.

Typically, you start and stop the function through the top pusher. On the other hand, you can reset the chronograph to zero using the bottom pusher. A flyback chronograph, like the one in the Chronograph, is more advanced.
