A few weeks back, I was walking down Sixth Avenue here in NYC, and passed by Bucherer “3 Bryant Park.” Taking a quick glance, a large, and I mean large, brand display from perfect fake IWC caught my eye. It read, in super-sized, like-over two-feet-tall font, “The Big Pilot’s Watch.” Being the well-informed Hodinkee employee I am, I know what this means. But for a moment, I wondered what a layperson, who knows nothing about high end copy watches, would think when presented with this giant text. I landed on something like, “Oh, okay, nice. Big, for Pilot’s, got it.”
Since I’ve been interested in watches, that has been mostly my response to the best 1:1 replica IWC Big Pilot’s Watch (emphasis on the ‘s). I get it, the historical reference used by pilots; it’s big for a reason, but really, the case is far too big for my taste. Even John Mayer’s endorsement on Talking Watches of the ref. 5004 as the perfect travel copy watch did not sway my Hodinkee-crazed young watch enthusiast brain.
With the prototypical pilot watch clearly not for me, it’s about time I get to my actual pick. This is the aaa quality replica IWC ref. 3741 Fliegerchronograph from the same brand, IWC replica for sale. No, it’s not the legendary ref. 3705, but rather, this one is quartz and solid 18k yellow gold – yep. Snub your nose at quartz all you want, I’ll take my quirky “why did they make this” pilot chronograph and run. Production on these started in the 1990s, so I can find one with tritium lume that tends to age creamy and play off of the case tone. There’s something about this watch. Every time I see one, I chuckle and imagine owning it. Someday I probably will, they trade under $5,000. At that price point, I can’t see having more fun than the Swiss movement replica IWC 3741 in gold.
You can’t determine where you’re going without knowing where you’ve been, right? And as watchmaking companies regularly look in the rear-view mirror for inspiration for future collections and references, we’re going to do the same. In a change from our regular weekly Buying Guide where we group replica watches online around a common theme, we’re revisiting the watches of Watches & Wonders from last year. We felt it would help to refresh the collective memory of what were the most notable super clone watches from 2022, now that Watches & Wonders 2023 is basically just around the corner. Out of everything presented, we selected the 8 pieces that stood out to us and will tell you why. So without further ado, let’s dive straight in!
FAKE PATEK PHILIPPE ANNUAL CALENDAR TRAVEL TIME 5326G While we’re a big fan of the salmon 5172G, to us, the best-in-show for perfect replica Patek Philippe was the Annual Calendar Travel Time 5326G. Why? Primarily because it’s not a typical US Patek Philippe fake for sale. It blends classical elements with contemporary ones, in a surprising mix of styles. The case construction for instance, with the Clous de Paris caseband and ‘floating’ lugs. And let’s not forget that practical yet complex movement! The price is steep though, at EUR 78,000. More details in our in-depth here.

This modern classic retails for EUR 13,500. More info in our video-review here.
The complete calendar, or full calendar, has been quite the theme lately. The latest to join the growing pack of luxury replica watches that display not just the time and date, but also the day of the week, the month, and the phase of the moon, is the us cheap fake IWC Portofino Complete Calendar watch that debuts in 18k 5N gold and in stainless steel, accompanied by the high end replica IWC Portofino Automatic Pointer Date.
It is important to know that a complete calendar is not an annual calendar or perpetual calendar. The annual calendar is programmed to automatically adjust for 30-day months and advance to the 1st of the next month, while the perpetual calendar extends this functionality by keeping track of 28-day and 29-day Februarys, as well — again, automatically jumping to the 1st of March at the correct time. By contrast, what renders a complete calendar “complete” is the inclusion of all major calendar displays — date, day, month, and phase of the moon.
The perfect replica IWC Portofino Complete Calendar watch incorporates these in a highly elegant fashion, with just two subdials, each of which contains two displays. The phase of the moon and day of the week can be read just below 12 o’clock — where some will certainly be bothered by the cutoff in the “XII” hour marker — while the date and month are shown in the lower subdial.
The Portofino is the prime dress watch option ofAAA quality fake IWC, and, as such, it is an understated and elegant design (known to respond poorly to the introduction of a bevy of new functionality). With an established history of calculated designs in its portfolio, like the much-loved Portuguese Chronograph of the 2000s (that has since then been renamed Portugieser), and, of course, the long-standing Portofino collection itself, we could reasonably expect IWC to get this right.
The leaf-shaped hands and the straight hour markers make for a surprisingly powerful combination, as does that of a wide dial and slim bezel. The balance is perfected by the Automatic and super clone IWC Schaffhausen texts on the 9 and 3 o’clock axis, while a touch of blue in the central seconds hand and phase of the moon disk add versatility and some much-needed color to the mix. Both the 18k 5N gold and the stainless steel-cased variant of the high quality replica IWC Portofino Complete Calendar watch measure 41mm-wide and 11.8mm-thick, so a bit on the thicker side as a result of the modular construction of the movement. Revealed by a sapphire crystal caseback, the Swiss movement fake IWC Portofino Complete Calendar is powered by the IWC-manufactured caliber 32150. It is a modern automatic movement that operates at 4Hz frequency over the course of an extended 72-hour power reserve, rewound by a pawl winding system. Water resistance is rated at 50m (150ft) — if its looks did not suffice as a reminder, then the calfskin straps wrapping around your wrist and the two corrector pushers set into the side of the case should tell you that this is not a sports watch by any stretch of the imagination — and that’s all good.
The Swiss copy IWC Portofino watch collection is also extended by the top copy IWC Portofino Automatic Pointer Date, a 39mm-wide version that shaves off a millimeter from overall thickness to 10.8mm and comes with a solid as opposed to transparent caseback. It also does away with the majority of additional indications and all that remains is a pointer date — a classy-looking rendition of the date, sure, but certainly not the easiest to read unless you have excellent near-sight and very steady hands. In our experience, images tend to lend an exaggerated and magnified look to the finer details in watches, and these tiny displays are certainly no exception.
In 1936, exactly 87 years ago, perfect replica IWC unveiled a new wristwatch specially designed for passionate about the sky thanks to a marker on the dial to memorize the time of takeoff. Then in 1940, it presented the Grande copy IWC Big Pilot’s Watch 52 T.S.C. whose emblematic dial was reborn in 2002 to become a must-have in the watchmaking landscape. More than two decades later, after a blue and a green versions, the Schaffhausen-based manufacture is offering a variant with a black face, equipped with displays useful in everyday life: the cheap fake Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41.
While its appearance is totally anchored among the clouds with its specific design inspired by flight instruments, the luxury replica IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 is above all a versatile timepiece that adapts to the wearer’s personality thanks to its interchangeable strap in black calfskin with a pin buckle or steel five-link bracelet and folding clasp. Machined from the same metal, the 41mm diameter and approximately 14.5mm thick case houses the caliber 69385, a self-winding movement developed by AAA quality fake IWC that delivers a 48-hour power reserve when fully wound.
On the Swiss movement replica IWC‘s dial, which is coated in intense black, the hour circle with large Arabic numerals and hour markers frames three azure counters: the chronograph minutes and hours, respectively placed at 12 and 9 o’clock and powered by the central second hand, and the small seconds, whose hand is varnished in red, the only touch of color in this black and white ensemble. At 3 o’clock, a double window clearly displays the day and date, thus completing the essential time provided by the two large central hands.
