Inspired by the recent news of a Steve McQueen screen-worn Heuer Monaco heading to auction, we got to thinking: what 1:1 UK replica watches with celebrity provenance would be our favourite? Which one would we chase after with an unlimited budget? Let’s share their favourite celebrity provenance fake watches for sale.
Jamie’s pick: Paul Newman’s Paul Newman Rolex Daytona Replica Watches
No celebrity watch comes close to Paul Newman’s very own high quality replica Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ‘Paul Newman’ ref. 6239 watches – and you can argue that pretty objectively. When the actor and thrill seeker’s personal watch (which features the badass message “Drive Carefully Me” engraved on its caseback) went under the hammer at Phillips back in 2017 for a whopping US$17.8 million after buyer’s fee, it was the most expensive UK online copy watches ever sold at auction. It’s since been relegated to the third-most expensive (losing out to the Patek Philippe Henry Graves Supercomplication and Grandmaster Chime ‘Only One’), but it remains the only Rolex in the top 10 and the only celebrity-owned watch.
That dollar figure alone doesn’t even take into account its cultural impact. Paul Newman almost single-handedly made the perfect Rolex Daytona replica watches the legend that it is today, and ‘Paul Newman’ Daytonas are some of the most coveted of all watches. But beyond that, I reckon he’s still probably the coolest man to have ever lived: a true Renaissance man who wasn’t just an amazing actor, stylish gent and accomplished race car driver, he was also a prominent philanthropist, political activist and humanitarian… I’m not one for celebrity worship but if I was ever to wear best wholesale super clone watches connected with someone famous, I’d want it to be Paul Newman’s Paul Newman. You literally cannot get any better. I definitely would need an unlimited budget though.
Zach’s pick: Daniel Craig’s film-worn Fake Omega Seamaster 300M NTTD 007 Edition Watches
To have a watch from classic icons like Steve McQueen and Paul Newman would be awesome. To be honest, Jamie may have taken my number one pick off the favourite celebrity provenance China 2024 replica watches candidate board. Paul Newman’s or not, that would be my dream Daytona – despite my rant against owning vintage sports watches. A celebrity provenance watch I could safely wear daily, and one that comes fresh off the wrist of a legend of my era, is Daniel Craig’s film-worn Swiss movements fake Omega Seamaster 300M No Time To Die 007 Edition watches. Listed with a laughable estimate of £15,000 – £20,000, the watch ultimately hammered off at a Christie’s charity auction in 2022 for £226,800 (£226,799 more than I could afford to spend on a watch at that time).
Akin to how McQueen’s Le Mans set was sent six top replica watches UK, Craig undoubtedly sported multiple Seamasters throughout the film that concluded his tenure as James Bond. This element, however, is what makes the watch so cool in my mind. In cheap copy watches collecting, you want either the first or last of a limited edition. So, to own a Seamaster he put through its paces during stunts in his final Bond film is simply historic. He is my favourite Bond actor, and I have long considered actually buying the No Time to Die Seamaster from Omega. With or without celebrity provenance, it’s a fantastic Omega Seamaster reference – I would just need to order it on the short-sized mesh bracelet. A watch I like from the Bond I most respect. Now all I need is six figures or more in expendable savings…
