Cheap Replica Rado Golden Horse 1957 Limited Editions Watches For Sale

Most of us associate Rado replica with design-oriented watches and innovative materials, especially high-tech ceramic. Minimalist lines, sleek profiles and silky smooth ceramic cases and bracelets have defined much of the brand’s portfolio since the 1990s. And then, during Baselworld 2017, Rado surprised us with a very convincing reinterpretation of a 1962 Captain Cook model complete with 300m diving credentials. Not only was the Captain Cook a vintage-inspired watch, but it was also a dive watch, two genres that not many of us would have anticipated from Rado.

Reaching back even further into the brand’s somewhat sketchy past, another golden oldie materialised with the resuscitation of a 1957 dress watch known as the Golden Horse. Resurfacing in 2019 with accurate vintage details but a contemporary automatic movement, there are now four models in the 37 mm fake Rado Golden Horse 1957 Limited Edition collection and we got our hands on three of them.
FROM SCHLUP & CO. TO RADO
The brand we know today as Rado replica started life in 1917 as the Schlup & Co. watchmaking workshop of Lengnau run by three brothers. Expanding from its humble beginnings to become an important supplier of watch movements during WWII, Schlup & Co. began selling watches under the Rado brand name in the late 1950s. In 1957, forty years after its foundation, the Golden Horse collection made its debut as an elegant yet water-resistant model and appeared with a variety of functions, bold colour dials and steel or gold-plated cases.
The original Golden Horse had a 37mm diameter, a surprisingly large case for its day and was made from steel, a bold decision in an age when gold was the norm for men’s wristwatches. According to Hakim El Kadiri, vice president of Rado, the presence of a ‘novel’ animal (seahorse) and the gold-plated cases of the Golden Horse might have been targeted to the Chinese market. Be that as it may, the 2019 limited editions of the Golden Horse are intended to be “true to the original“, from the case size to the fumé dial, from the golden seahorses on the dial to the date window with red numerals, and other period-correct details.
VINTAGE PROPORTIONS
All three Swiss movement replica Rado have a case diameter of 37mm (36.5mm to be precise) and a height of 10.8mm. A small case size by today’s standards but in tune with the vintage vocation of the Golden Horse. The height is slim enough to pass as a dress watch, especially in the case of the red dial with its retro black faux-crocodile leather strap. Although it might be on the small side for some men, the 44mm lug-to-lug measurement makes the watch larger than its measurements would indicate. For those of you with larger wrists, the steel bracelet has infinitely more wrist presence than the black strap. The bracelet, with its vintage beads-of-rice links, is supple yet sturdy and denotes the excellent craftsmanship employed in its execution.
The shiny bright reflections of the case and bracelet are produced by the polished finishings throughout (save the brushed casebands, the centre of the caseback and the reverse side of the bracelet). The watch is water-resistant to 50 metres, more than enough for everyday wear and tear.

GRADIENT DIALS
Another surprising detail, which many of us associate with top-tier brands like Moser, is the fact that the original 1957 Golden Horse models displayed fumé or gradient dials. Available in green, blue, red and black (not photographed), the centre of the dial is lighter and becomes progressively darker (almost black) when it reaches the periphery. Although the dial is not a pie-pan dial like those featured on some early models, it is curved and protected by a thick box-shaped sapphire crystal to recreate the sensation of the original acrylic glass.
In deference to the original, the same indices, hands and framed date window at 3 o’clock are respected. The sharply faceted and applied indices and the dauphine hands are brightly polished and stand out for miles, without a trace of lume. Two golden seahorses, positioned face to face, are placed just above 6 o’clock along with the inscription Golden Horse, in the same font as the original. The brand’s signature anchor first appeared in 1962 and is now featured on all automatic watches. Placed just below 12 o’clock, the anchor swings back and forth around a central pivot animating the watch.
Although date windows generate controversy, I have to admit that I like the date window here. Positioned at 3 o’clock and suitably framed, this date window is not shy and even replicates the red numerals of the original. It’s not hiding or lurking in some stealth position, it’s a functional date window and has no qualms about its utility.

ETA MOVEMENT
While the casing, bracelet and dials stick to the original 1957 design details of the stainless steel case fake Rado Golden Horse, the movement is a contemporary ETA C07.611 automatic with a robust 80-hour power reserve, in essence, an upgraded ETA 2824-2. The trade-off for the upgrade in power reserve involved reducing the traditional 28,800vph frequency to 21,600vph making the watch tick less often. The closed caseback harks back to the original and is decorated with three seahorses and three stars.

Introducing Three Swiss Luxury Replica Watches With High Quality For Men

Megan Rapinoe’s Rolex Explorer II

Basketball’s coolest couple celebrated a Seattle Storm sweep this week. On the sideline, and then the confetti-speckled court, Rapinoe wore one hell of a fit: big pinstriped trousers, slinky black jacket, Supreme hat, and a mega-cool Rolex. The best Rolex Explorer II fake watch with black dial for sale line might not have the same recognition as some of the brand’s icons—the Submariner, GMT, or Daytona—but it is one of the most stylish in the Crown’s catalog. That orange 24-hour hand on the Explorer II is what happens when the watchmakers at Rolex have a couple more sips of kirsch than usual.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Very Icy Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak fake with silver dial is a watch that people love to customise. Whether fellow rappers are icing it out or designers are transforming it, for many the watch is a blank palette. But even among this sea of customs, few hold a candle to the one Megan Thee Stallion wore on Saturday Night Live. Meg turned her Royal Oak out almost beyond recognition: in place of the typical hour indices there are Arabic numerals and in place of basically everything else there are diamonds. A lot of diamonds. Aftermarket customization is often frowned upon in the watch community, but it’s hard to argue with these results.

Julian Alaphilippe’s Richard Mille RM 67-02 “Sébastien Ogier”

This has to be the most fashionable week for cycling ever on record. During the Giro d’Italia’s pre-race event, the EF Education First Pro Cycling wore a uniform designed by Rapha and Palace, with new gear including a helmet that looks like a cartoon duck head. On Friday morning, the collection of clothing sold out completely and immediately. And during the Brabantse Pijl road race on Wednesday, Julian Alaphilippe, one of the best cyclists in the world, wore a 1:1 quality replica Richard Mille RM 67-02 that cost some $150,000. Wearing a watch is pretty unusual for a cyclist: it can add weight, which is the one thing cyclists try like mad to avoid. But Richard Mille watches have a way of turning up in places where timepieces typically aren’t seen, whether that’s the court with Rafeal Nadal or the football field with Odell Beckham Jr. This RM 67-02 with a blue case was born for sport, though. It was designed for Sébastien Ogier, six-time World Rally champion.
