This lot offers Stallone’s personal PAM00202, an example of one the limited edition Slytech watches to also be offered for sale to the public – with his example being #0001 of 1,000. The first titanium fake watch online ever made was in 1970, the Citizen X8 Chronometer, and the first Swiss titanium watch came in 1980 with the Porsche Design Titan Chronograph in collaboration with IWC. But the ubiquity of the usage of titanium by watch brands is a much more recent trend. Grand Seiko with the original dual-signed SBGA011 Snowflake in 2005, Hublot with their first titanium Classic Fusion watches in 2008, and perfect replica Panerai, with this PAM00202 circa 2005 were, in some respects, ahead of the curve.
As a 47mm best 1:1 replica Panerai, the usage of titanium approximately shaves 40% of the weight off the watch compared to if it were made in steel. So, for Stallone, more accustomed to large and heavy watches, this must have felt like a future-forward technical novelty. Looking at the dial, one of the last to use tritium before the switch to SuperLuminova, you’ll notice the lume has aged to an even and attractive hue. However, it would seem the hands might’ve been replaced, possibly during a service, now featuring SuperLuminova. Of all the lots, this Swiss movement fake Panerai is tied with another for the lowest estimate range. So, if you are looking for an entry-level bidding opportunity to own one of Stallone’s high quality replica Panerais, this is your best bet.
After Barbie pretty much dominated culture all of last year, Ryan Gosling’s unique brand of ‘funny, but magnetic, but also sensitive, but also funny’ on-screen magic is back with The Fall Guy, an action movie that gives stuntmen the credit they so often don’t get.
And just as he did for Greta Gerwig’s film, The Gos has been giving it his all on the promotion tour, wearing a T-shirt repping his lady’s new kids book one day, rocking up to a film premiere as Beavis (with Butthead) the next.
More importantly, if the great minds at the GQ Department of Watch Maths are correct, which we’re pretty sure they are, this week he’s been doing it all while wearing three perfect replica TAG Heuers – all from the same family.
One of the most successful Hollywood-meets-Switzerland watch partnerships of recent years, Ryan Gosling has enjoyed delving into the luxury fake TAG Heuer archive and rocking some of its more current — and accessible — models during a certified Big Week.
First up there was the silvery steel 1:1 fake TAG Heuer Carrera Date, a Magpie’s dream as well as a classic iteration of TAG’s legendary driving-with-a-bit-of-dress-up watch, featuring an objectively ideal 39mm case and a grey sunray dial that’s primed for catching eyes in the California sun. It was first introduced by Jack Heuer back in 1963 thanks to a conversation the great watchmaker overheard concerning the very cool and very dangerous Mexican race, the aaa quality replica TAG Heuer Carrera Panamerica, back in the ’50s. Further proof that sometimes all you need to do is throw on a timeless steel sports watch and get to work – check overshirt optional.
On the more flamboyant side of flexing, we also spotted a wild Gosling — head-to-toe in satin turquoise tailoring — in a special edition, one-of-one customised version of the Swiss movement copy TAG Heuer Carrera Success Gold, better known as ‘the Barbie watch’. This one is the 18K 3N, with a yellow gold case on a gold Milanese bracelet, an custom-made update on the original ‘luxury’ Carrera that was handed out to Ferrari F1 drivers back in the ’70s, and of the earliest, and most striking, examples of a sport/tool copy watch being given the dripped in gold treatment.
If you look closely, you can actually see that Gosling has his on upside down. Perhaps he’s invented a new and thrilling way of telling the time? The more likely scenario is a case of studied insouciance, a bit like Andy Warhol, who famously never wound his Cartier Tank. Sometimes a watch is for telling the time down to the millisecond… sometimes it’s for looking good in a really dapper suit on a red carpet. Sometimes it’s for both.
Finally, Gosling ended his legendary run at The Fall Guy premiere, where he reprised his viral SNL Beavis outfit along with a decidedly un-idiotic Carrera chronograph, the ‘Glassbox’ which, along with the striking reverse panda dial, another objectively ideal 39mm stainless steel case and a perforated black calfskin leather strap, features high quality replica TAG Heuer’s signature Glassbox, curved sapphire crystal that’s said to improve visibility – perfect for a leading man who’s got places to be and beautiful watches to wear.
For the last few years, customers wishing for a complication-free take on the cheap replica Portugieser only had the Portugieser Automatic 40 range to choose from – but in this era where watch brands are rushing to introduce smaller takes on their popular models (looking at you Blancpain or indeed even perfect fake IWC), the new Portugieser Automatic 42 collection goes bigger: bringing the Portugieser back to its classically big roots, harking back to the cheap replica IWC Portugieser Automatic ref. IW50001 of the 2000s as well as the OG Portugiesers of the 1930s.
I say complication-free – actually, the best 1:1 replica IWC Portugieser Automatic 42 features a date window at 6 o’clock as well as a power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock, with the small seconds shifting to the 9 o’clock position. Savvy readers will notice that this is the same dial layout as many of aaa quality fake IWC’s Big Pilot watches, such as the recently-released Big Pilot’s Watch AMG G 63, and that’s because the new Portugieser Automatic 42 uses the same Calibre 52011 as IWC Big Pilot replica watches online. A 7-day power reserve at this price point (and crucially, at this case diameter – as the Big Pilot models that use this calibre are all significantly larger at 46mm) is an extremely compelling proposition.
The Swiss movement replica IWC Portugieser Automatic 42 collection encompasses three different case materials and five different dial colours across six models, with the steel case/dune dial and red gold/obsidian dial models being my personal favourites. All but the steel case/dark blue dial copy watch online come mounted on alligator straps, with this sole model featuring a stainless steel bracelet.
