We didn’t spot any spectacular AAA replica watches on the wrists of celebrities this week. That was a joke—it was April Fool’s Day on Monday, remember? Quite the contrary, several A-listers (and a couple of B-listers) have rocked notable timepieces over the past few days.
Michael Strahan sported a De Bethune DB28 Kind Of Blue at a game between the New York Knicks and the Oklahoma City Thunder, while Lil Yachty showed off at Patek Philippe Nautilus at McDonald’s All American Games. Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson flashed an impossible-to-miss Panerai Submersible as he promoted his new skincare line at Target and WWE star Roman Reigns rocked a highly sought-after rainbow Rolex Daytona on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Rappers and singers busted out some horological showstoppers at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, too. Ludacris flaunted two top UK fake watches at the event, walking the red carpet in an understated Patek Philippe before switching to a dazzling Hublot for his performance. Fridayy flexed his diamond-encrusted Cartier Santos, while AJ McLean showed off an iced-out Franck Muller. Not a bad assortment at all.
Below are the best watch flexes of the week.
Lil Yachty: Fake Patek Philippe Nautilus Flyback Chronograph Watches
Lil Yachty clearly has a penchant for high quality Patek Philippe replica watches. The American rapper has already unboxed a World Time on TikTok and sported a coveted Ellipse Squelette on the red carpet. He has now also performed in a gold Nautilus. Launched in 1976, the Nautilus was a horological game-changer for Patek with a porthole-shaped case, octagonal bezel, horizontally embossed dial, and integrated bracelet. Forty years on, the sports watch has been reimagined many times and remains a firm favorite among collectors. This particular example (Ref. 5980/1R) is distinguished by a rose-gold case, a contrasting black dial, and a screw-down crown. The luxury copy watches also features a self-winding flyback chronograph, with a date aperture at 3 o’clock and both 60-minute and 12-hour totalizers arranged concentrically in a single sub-dial at 6 o’clock. The 5980/1R is priced at a cool $108,820.
Fridayy: Cartier Santos Replica Watches
The Cartier fake watches wholesale that Francis Leblanc, a.k.a. Fridayy, wore to the iHeartRadio Music Awards will probably ruffle the feathers of a few collectors. The iced-out Santos features diamonds all over the dial, case, bezel, and bracelet. The reason this may upset collectors is that the stones were likely added to the steel timepiece after it was purchased from an authorized dealer. Happy Jewelers offers a similar model, for example. Modifying 1:1 super clone watches tends to displease purists but appeals to watch buffs obsessed with bling. Cartier does make Santos models with brilliant-cut diamonds on the cases and bezels, but evidently, that wasn’t quite enough sparkle for Fridayy.
Ludacris: Hublot King Power Unico Fake Watches
Ludacris knows how to pick the right watch for the occasion. The “Yeah!” singer wore a smart steel cheap China replica Patek Philippe Aquanaut watches to walk the red carpet at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, then switched to a glitzy Hublot King Power Unico to perform on stage. (Can you picture him packing up his second watch? We’d love to see his watch roll!) The Hublot features a whopping 1.97 carats of diamonds that looked especially sparkly under the stage lights. The unabashed 48 mm case is made of the Swiss watchmaker’s reddish King Gold alloy and set with some 248 precious stones. At the center lies a striking skeletonized dial and a complex chronograph movement. Good choice, Luda.
Roman Reigns: Replica Rolex Rainbow Cosmograph Daytona Watches
WWE Star Roman Reigns wore a knockout 2024 Rolex fake watches on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Released in 2018, the Rainbow Daytona Everose features a 40 mm case and Oyster bracelet made of the Crown’s signature pink gold alloy. (The model was first released in 2012 in both white and yellow gold.) The blingy timepiece also showcases 56 brilliant-cut diamonds on the lugs and 36 baguette-cut sapphires on the bezel in rainbow gradation. The lacquered black dial is adorned with another 11 baguette-cut diamonds for hour markers and shows three Everose subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. The Swiss movements replica Rolex Rainbow Daytona watches is a highly sought-after timepiece and ranks as one of the most elusive Rolexes on the market. The Everose iteration was originally priced at $96,900, but can cost as much as much as $500,000 on the secondary market.
