If you’ve been reading Hodinkee this week, you’ll know that the big Watches & Wonders trade show has been taking place in Geneva – opening the floodgates to hundreds of new watches from the industry’s biggest watchmakers, along with the news that some old favorites have been discontinued (and may now become future classics).
This week’s Pre-Owned Picks features five watches introduced at recent trade shows – including one we spotted at this year’s W&W that will no longer be available for a new purchase, meaning that pre-ordering isn’t just another way to get a buy replica watches. It’s the only way to go.
The modern Milgauss was launched in 2007, before Watches and Wonders existed, but its production run officially ended this week. Farewell to the playful lightning seconds and orange accents.
With its limited variations and unusual color combinations, the Milgauss always felt like the anti-Rolex. It has a hint of fun and a more scientific background than its adventure-seeking stablemate. It was made for scientists who work around magnetic fields and need a watch that is antimagnetic, and Rolex achieves this by building a soft iron core around the movement as a shield against magnetic waves.
This 2008 example is part of the first year of using a green sapphire crystal, a color that can only be seen around the edges. This model has some minor scuffing on the lower part of the bezel and on the top of the lugs near 7 o’clock, but overall, the condition is considered very good for a used watch – especially one that is 15 years old.
The Black Bay Pro, featured in last year’s “Watches and Wonders,” is the best Tudor has done: mining the Rolex/Tudor archives to bring a modern interpretation through a snowflake-like lens. At first glance, it looks a lot like the Rolex Explorer II – it has a steel GMT bezel and yellow/orange GMT hands.1655. However, its case is straight out of the Black Bay collection.39mm Black Bay Pro remains the smallest in the TUDOR GMT collection – including the white dial released this year – and this flawless example is ready for you to travel today.
The highlight of buy replica rolex watches & Wonders 2023 is the colorful new Rolex Oyster Perpetual collection. It set off an industry-wide trend where almost every brand had to have its own colorful dial. Some of these colors, like this yellow example, have been around for less than two years – red and some sizes of light blue have also disappeared.
Last week, Radio Hodinkee revealed that these vibrant colors were supposed to be limited editions. That’s what makes the watch a rare collector’s item. Yellow had the shortest run, so it is the rarest and probably the most sought-after by future collectors. This watch is in immaculate mint condition and ready for you to add your story to it.
