The replica Rolex ref. 5100 “Texano” watches for sale are precursor to the Crown’s buzzy new Land-Dweller.
Though we’re used to Rolex’s chief Testimonee rocking the brand’s newest, shiniest wares, occasionally even Roger Federer will opt for something with some more mileage on it. To wit: Here is the GOAT looking dapper at the Dior show during Paris Fashion Week, a gold Rollie clearly visible on his wrist. But this is no modern best UK replica Rolex watches—this, dear friends, is the ref. 5100 “Texano,” the Crown’s first quartz watch, first watch with an integrated bracelet, and the precursor to the still-fresh Land-Dweller from Watches and Wonders 2025.
Key to the Texano’s design was the looming Quartz Crisis of the 1970s: In response to the Japanese development of the quartz movement, the Swiss banded together to try to develop their own version via a consortium dubbed Centre Electronique Horloger. The resulting movement, dubbed Beta-21, was stuffed into all manner of early quartz perfect fake watches, including the Crown’s own ref. 5100, which debuted in 1970. Made in just 1,000 examples—supposedly 900 were in yellow gold (some with diamonds indices), 100 in white gold—the Texano was also the first luxury replica Rolex watches to boast a quickset date and a sapphire crystal.
All in all, these were one sophisticated luxury replica watches, and it featured complex case architecture to match—plus a lot of gold. Each piece was individually numbered in series on the caseback of its 39mm housing, while the business end’s aesthetics called to mind classic models such as the Datejust and Day-Date: There’s the fluted precious metal bezel, and the dial has a large outer minute track, applied indices, the Rolex coronet at 12 o’clock, a magnified date window at 3 o’clock, and the word “QUARTZ” conspicuously (and proudly) displayed above 6 o’clock. The origins of the “Texano” name are tough to pin down, but the wealth required to purchase one—it was then the most expensive high quality copy watches in Rolex’s catalog—jives well with the characterization of the Day-Date as the “Texas Timex.”
The integrated bracelet, meanwhile, looks like a cross between an old Omega Speedmaster flat-link bracelet and, well, something else. But we all know where the ref. 5100 would eventually lead: First, it birthed the Oysterquartz in 1977, which saw Rolex ditch the Beta 21 in favor of its own quartz movement. Like the top replica Rolex ref. 5100 watches, this models also featured an integrated bracelet in either an Oyster or Jubilee style. After discontinuing this model around 2001, the Crown’s catalog was devoid of an integrated bracelet sports watch…until 2025, that is. The new Land-Dweller continues the lineage of the Oysterquartz—and before it, the ref. 5100 “Texano.”
So while Federer may have his pick of the litter when it comes to new UK Swiss super clone watches, he clearly has an appreciation for horological history. Quirky as it is—and battery-powered, to boot—the “Texano” is a genuinely important piece of Rolex company history.
Shawn J. Kolitch is many things: a passionate cyclist, a jazz fan, a former physics professor, a dad, a husband and a successful intellectual property attorney and partner at Portland-based Kolitch Romano Dascenzo Gates, where he currently focuses his practice on ‘intellectual property litigation, opinion work, and patent prosecution strategy relating to high-tech industries and emerging technologies.’ What he wouldn’t call himself, however, is being a watch collector. In fact, he’d been wearing the same watch constantly for over 25 years, his late dad’s AAA UK replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner watches, no-date Ref. 5512 with matte black dial: “When I was growing up in the 1970s, my father always wore a Rolex Submariner — I don’t remember ever seeing him without it.” The 40-mm dive watch had been a gift to his dad from his close friend Ralph Lia, who ran Sandolino’s, a then well-known restaurant in Greenwich Village. “When my father died, which was very sudden in early 1980, my mother was in a state of shock, she was only 37 years old and suddenly a widow with two young kids; she decided to give the watch back to Ralph.”
Shawn continued to visit his aunt and uncle, and Ralph and his family and other friends, every time he would return to New York: “I used to go to Ralph’s restaurant all the time, really, whenever I had a chance. And there were always movie stars there. I remember being introduced and actually sitting down, I think, having a sandwich with Matthew Broderick when we were both about 15 years old.” He obviously also got to spend time with his dad’s best friend. On one of those trips, when he was about 11 or 12 years old, Ralph took him out on Long Island Sound on his Zodiac, far out into the Sound, almost in the shipping lane: “I remember looking up at all these gigantic ocean freight liners. And while we were out there, he had the talk with me and he said, ‘I’ve been thinking about your father. I think about him all the time, and I just know that he would want you to have this best copy watches.’ And he gave it back to me, there on the boat. And as far as I remember, and I’m actually quite sure, Ralph had a matching one. He had bought two, kept one and gave my dad the other.” From that moment on, Kolitch would wear the luxury replica watches constantly for over 25 years — until that fateful day in Idaho in July 2008.
In the spring of that year, at an auction in Portland, Oregon, Kolitch won a rafting trip down the middle fork of the Salmon River in Idaho, considered one of the premier wilderness rafting trips, known well beyond the United States. He went on to schedule the trip with his then girlfriend Leah (and now his wife) for the summer of the same year. And even though his trusted 5512 came with a 200-meter water resistance rating, a triplock crown and crown guards (a first for the model), Idaho’s famous ‘River of No Return’ was definitely no place for a family heirloom like this: “I meant to leave my high quality replica Rolex watces at home, but forgot to take it off, so I had it with me when we arrived at the river to start the trip. There was nowhere to leave the watch, so I had to take it with me on the trip.” The lead guide’s answer to where the safest place would be to keep it, was to put it in a dry bag on the gear boat. The idea was that even if the dry bag somehow fell into the river, it would just float away and be recovered later. “Reassured, I put my shop fake watches, my wallet and my keys inside a small yellow nylon bag, which I stowed inside my dry bag to be carried on the gear boat.” On his raft were Leah, a guide, and four former Notre Dame University football players on a reunion trip.
Over its length of 425 miles, the Salmon River drops more than 7,000 feet from its headwaters, near Galena Summit above the Sawtooth Valley in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, to its confluence with the Snake River, so, within a few hours of launching, the group hit the first Class IV (4) or ‘Advanced’ rapids: “Our boat made it through, and we waited in an eddy for the other boats to arrive.” After a few minutes, the radios around them started crackling — there apparently was a problem with the gear boat, and all the guides started running up the riverbank to help.
“While we were waiting, one of the guys from our boat started fly fishing to pass the time. Suddenly, he waded out into the river, snagged something from the current, and held it up for everyone to see. To our great surprise, it was a pair of Leah’s underwear. Before we even had time to process this bizarre fact, we started to see other clothing flashing by in the current, and we realized that things from the gear boat had fallen into the river.” As it turned out, an inexperienced guide had tied Shawn’s and Leah’s bags to the gear boat only by their handles. The same guide then promptly flipped the gear boat over in the rapids. While upside down, the tension on the rope ripped open their bags, and everything inside was lost in the river. “With a week of rafting still ahead of us, we were left with just the clothes on our backs, and one soaking wet pair of Leah’s underwear.”
The guides and other clients generously shared their clothing and gear with the pair to make up for what they had lost in the river, and the rest of the trip turned out to be as spectacular as they had hoped. Still, the precious watch couldn’t be replaced: “I was despondent over the loss of my Swiss replica Rolex watches, which was dumped into the river along with everything else in my dry bag.” For months, Kolitch felt resigned, sad, and also angry with himself for losing his dad’s Rolex in the river. “I tried to think of a way to explain what had happened to my mother and sister, both of whom valued the watch as much as I did, but I couldn’t bring myself to tell them I had lost this family heirloom.”
Fortunately, the story of this cheap super clone watches don’t end here, because much to his surprise, in November 2009, 16 months after they had returned from their rafting trip, Kolitch got a phone call from someone who introduced himself as a guide for a different rafting company in Idaho.
And he had some remarkably good news to share: “He told me that he had just finished guiding a late-season trip down the middle fork of the Salmon, when the water was relatively low, and retrieved a small yellow bag from the bottom of the river. In the bag was my wallet, a set of keys, and, in his words, a ‘beat up old 1:1 fake watches.’ He had been able to track me down because my waterlogged driver’s license was still readable.” The guide kindly sent him the yellow bag, full of river sand but with his wallet, keys and watch still intact. “To my absolute amazement, after spending more than a full year at the bottom of the Salmon River, including an entire winter under the freezing water, my UK perfect replica Rolex watches were still ticking. Although the crystal was scratched, it hadn’t broken, and there was no sign that water or sand had reached the movement.” By the time he got the watch back in late 2009, the couple had an infant at home, Kolitch had a lot of responsibility at work, and not much time or money, so he put the Rolex away with the idea of someday getting it fixed. “The infant is now a teenager, and I recently took the watch to a certified Rolex repair shop in Portland, which brought it back to good working condition with a new crystal and an overhaul. Although I was told there was sand packed up against every gasket, the mechanism, the case and the bracelet, all original, are fine.” Which means that after having been brought back from the proverbial ‘basement of time,’ this 5512 is now finally back on the wrist where it was always meant to be.
At Watches and Wonders 2025, Cartier unveiled four new UK best replica Cartier Tressage watches. Tressage — French for braid — is an exploration of volume and texture, blurring the line between jewelry and watchmaking. These pieces are less about telling time and more about making a statement. You dress around them; they wear you. While you’re more likely to spot one at the Met Gala than at your local café, they’ll turn heads wherever they appear.
This perfect fake Cartier watches are masterclass in transformation, blending gold, diamonds, and gemstones into a sculptural form. Inspired by the Maison’s Maillon, Coussin, and Reflection collections, it plays with contrasting materials and bold volumes. Two intertwined gold and diamond twists frame a snow-set diamond dial — one side smooth yellow gold, the other sharp, structured brancards. A glossy leather strap enhances the contrast.
The collection offers four configurations: minimalist yellow gold Swiss super clone watches with a black-lacquer dial and shiny black strap; a full pavé white-gold version with 916 diamonds (12.2 ct) and a navy strap; a mixed-gold version with 466 diamonds (6.3 ct); and a white-gold model featuring 570 diamonds (5.7 ct) and 330 sapphires (5.9 ct) for a rich chromatic effect.
Each high quality replica watches are housed in an elongated rectangular case (56.2 x 25.7 mm, 11.5 mm thick), wrapped by two asymmetrical twists. They run on a quartz movement, are water-resistant to 30 meters, and come with both shiny and soft calfskin straps to echo the watch’s dynamic textures. Not exactly something you’d wear to a casual pool party—unless, of course, it’s a high-fashion one.
Tressage carries on Cartier’s legacy of pushing boundaries, a tradition championed by Jeanne Toussaint, Cartier’s first female creative director (appointed in 1933). Toussaint revolutionized the brand’s aesthetic, introducing bold, sculptural designs that blurred the line between jewelry and objets d’art. The Tressage collection follows in her footsteps, amplifying classic watch elements into something unexpected—a fusion of jewelry and horology that redefines what the United Kingdom cheap copy watches can be.
More than 80 years after its initial release, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s novel Le Petit Prince or The Little Prince remains as popular as ever. As one of the most active brands in the field of pilot’s watches, and knowing Saint-Exupéry’s career as an aviator, IWC has long partnered with The Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth Foundation and has created dozens of dedicated limited editions, all playing on a single theme: blue and gold. Except that now, the Schaffhausen-based brand pushes the concept even further in a bold full blue ceramic watch with gold accents, and a rather complex movement inside. Meet the new UK 1:1 replica IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Le Petit Prince Watches.
This new and undeniably striking Le Petit Prince high quality fake watches are an evolution of an existing model released in 2021, back then with an 18k Armor gold case and vintage-inspired applied Arabic numerals. This year, the brand brings something more technical, more modern and more in line with its expertise in the field of innovative materials, with a version housed in a full blue ceramic case. An imposing watch – it is named Big Pilot after all – the matte finished case measures 46.5mm in diameter and no fewer than 16.18mm in thickness. Lug-to-lug… Somewhere around 56mm. That’s not going to remain unnoticed, specifically when combined with 5N gold accents on the screw-in crown and the caseback ring. At least, the blue colour of the case is cool and unusual, and the material is both resistant and lighter than most metals.
Moving to the dial, while the blue sunray-brushed base that was used in the 2021 gold version remains, IWC has decided to give this ceramic cheap super clone IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Le Petit Prince watches a modern technical and more modern look, consistent with the use of ceramic for the case. This is mostly due to the classic rounded applied numerals, instead of vintage, stylised numerals. The minute track has also been streamlined and now features applied luminous markers. The hands are also the signature version of most BP high end replica watches but for the rest, the dial has kept the same layout and the unusual position of the flying tourbillon at 12 o’clock.
Inside the perfect replica IWC watches are the powerful in-house calibre 51950, an automatic movement wound by a Petit Prince-themed solid gold rotor. This calibre comes with a 168-hour power reserve (7 days) and is regulated by a flying one-minute tourbillon (82 parts and 0.635 grams) running at 19,800 vibrations/hour. On top sits the brand’s signature perpetual calendar module, first developed by watchmaker Kurt Klaus during the 1980s. It displays the calendar information on three subdials, including the phases of the moon with the Little Prince on his asteroid – the moon phase will only deviate by one day after 577.5 years. It also indicates the years in a 4-digit window.
Worn on a case-matching blue rubber strap, closed by a gold folding clasp, the polarising blue ceramic UK AAA copy IWC Big Pilot’s Watches Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon Le Petit Prince IW504901 watches are a limited edition of 100 pieces.
