I Found An Antique Rolex At Home Worth More Than 4 Million Yuan, Fake Watches

Ms. Maria, who lives in Romania, took a watch and traveled to Switzerland for consultation because there were no senior watch experts in her hometown. After expert Stan Ponti saw the look, Maria couldn’t help but take a photo as a souvenir. It is said that Maria’s father found this watch in the cellar of his house.

Although the watch mirror has been cracked and the diving ring has been eroded, it can still be recognized that this is a Rolex diving watch.

In most people’s eyes, it is absolutely a piece of garbage. It is such a terrible watch, but its value is astonishing because it is the top model Ref—6200 in the hearts of Rolex collectors.

Rolex’s Submariner, also commonly known as Submariner, was launched in 1953. At that time, there were three models in the first batch, namely Ref.6204, Ref.6205, and Ref.6200. The waterproof depth of Ref.6204 and Ref.6205 is 100 meters, while Ref.6200 is designed for professional divers. It uses an 8mm large crown and can be waterproof up to 200 meters. Replica watch.

Because it is the earliest product, it does not have some elements of the current Submariner, such as the word Submariner at six o’clock on the dial. The style of the dial also comes from the 3-6-Rolex’s first professional sports watch, Explorer, in 1953—9 digital scale. Fake watches.

Ref.6200 uses the iconic Mercedes-Benz style luminous hands. The bright material then used more radioactive radium, so it still shows sharpness after nearly 70 years.

Ref.6200 was released later than Ref.6204 and Ref.6205, but its model code is earlier. Therefore, it has been rumored that Ref.6200 is the earliest water ghost. It was only delayed for some reasons, later than Ref.6204 and Ref.6205.

At the same time, the more robust waterproof depth, 8mm large crown, and extraordinary 3-6-9 scale make people want to stop. It is also known as the “King Sub” in the market, which translates to “The King of Water Ghosts.” Although the Chinese-speaking circle now calls the Sea-Dweller Ref. 126660, which is waterproof to 3900 meters, the “King of Ghosts,” in front of the Ref. 6200, it can only be a younger brother.

The production of this Ref.6200 is sporadic, and it is estimated that there are about 300 pieces. After more than 70 years, it is estimated that there are about ten pieces currently circulating in the market. Phillips sold a large-size crown logo version in 2017 and 2019 at around RMB 5 million.

Although the watch mirror and diving aluminum ring of the Ref. 6200 that Maria’s father found at home were damaged, the most critical dial is perfect, and the case lines are still sharp. A little tweaking can make it look brand new. At the same time, it is also the rarer and smaller version of the crown logo among Ref.6200, which is even more valuable.
