Patrick Mahomes’s Fake Rolex Yacht-Master II
Kansas City Chiefs QB Mahomes joined several of his teammates at the White House to meet with President Joe Biden in celebration of the team’s latest Super Bowl win this week. On the noted collector’s wrist? A perfect replica Rolex Yacht-Master II—a watch that was discontinued by the Crown this year. Measuring 44mm in the brand’s Oystersteel, it’s actually a fairly unique yachting chronograph: The bezel contains the patented Ring Command system, which is used to “program” the watch’s countdown feature to between one and 10 minutes. Entirely mechanically powered, this system was unique in the Swiss made fake Rolex catalog, but must now, unfortunately, be sought out on the secondary market.
Andy Garcia’s Modified Replica Rolex Explorer II ref. 1655
Now here’s a watch you don’t see every day—primarily because it doesn’t exactly exist. Veteran American actor Andy Garcia was spotted courtside at a Lakers game in a mysterious 1:1 replica Rolex Explorer II ref. 1655 in which the fixed steel bezel has been replaced with a rotating bezel from a GMT-Master ref 1675. (It would appear that this watch was gifted to him by Japanese actor Ken Takakura, with whom Garcia starred in 1989’s Black Rain.) On an aaa quality fake Rolex ref. 1655, the movement and fixed bezel only allow for the tracking of day/nighttime hours, but replacing the fixed bezel with a rotating one allows the wearer to track a second time zone.
Dwyane Wade’s Copy Cartier Tank Louis Cartier
NBA great Dwyane Wade attended a dinner on Rodeo Drive celebrating the opening of a new Michael Kors location this week. He chose a most excellent dress watch for the occasion, rocking a Swiss movement fake Tank Louis Cartier in red lacquer. Introduced at Watches & Wonders 2022, this configuration sees the beloved model set in a classic yellow gold case with a blue cabochon crown and powered by the manually wound 1917 MC movement. The dial, which reduces the best quality replica Cartier Tank’s 12 typical Roman numerals down to four, is a spectacular riff on a hundred-year-old design that continues to capture the imagination of collectors everywhere. (Unfortunately, this configuration is no longer in top super clone Cartier’s catalog—though it has been replaced by two other gorgeous gold editions.)
