Starting a collection of vintage Rolex watches can be a daunting thing to do. When you start, your eyes are fixed on those awesome big money pieces you hope to own one day. You dream of scooping one up at a house auction and buying it for a bargain or making a big investment in something like a Paul Newman Daytona.
This vintage fake Rolex President 1803 is the perfect starting point for any beginner. Also known as the DayDate, this classic formal watch should be a staple in any collection. But what we love about this 1803 is its “pie plate” dial. The unique face makes this watch a great addition to your collection, as it is a staple model with an ironic twist that is sure to add value to your watch box. 
We also love the 36mm yellow gold case and the serrated bezel of this watch, which stands out against the dark face. We have to say, that combination makes this watch look like it was made in the 1970s. It has an inherently vintage feel, and we love the brown strap strapped to the lugs. As a presidential watch, this watch also has an automatic movement with day and date functions (of course) and even a water-resistant screw-down crown.
The watch is crafted entirely in 14k yellow gold – from the case to the fluted bezel to the detailed Jubilee bracelet and secure Fliplock clasp. We love that this watch also comes with a champagne-colored dial, adding to the indulgent look that this classic watch is meant to convey. We can’t leave out the 1570 automatic movement inside that swings those luminous hands and flips the Date at 3 o’clock. Finally, the great thing about this watch is that you’ll want to wear it and enjoy it all the time – and the water-resistant, wearable Date allows you to do just that.
You don’t have to start your collection with a timeless classic. You can easily invest in an innovative timepiece, too. What we love about this GMT-Master 16753 is that this watch is just as cool and useful today as it was when it was produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Equipped with an automatic movement made for pilots in collaboration with Panamax, this replica Rolex watch keeps two time zones and military time. The oyster case also meant it could withstand high altitudes and deep seas.
The 5513 was produced from 1966 until the 1980s, with the earliest dials first equipped with instrument markers. It wasn’t until 1970 that they started writing the feet first, as they did on this one, showing how early and special this watch was. Otherwise, the case and dial are in excellent condition, as are the markers and matching cream-colored hands, which have aged beautifully over the years. It’s also important to note the fat front bezel, which has faded to this wonderful gray color and may one day fade away completely and become a ghost – which will certainly increase your value.
