The gorgeous replica Breguet Classique 7787 is a fake watch not many other brands could get away with calling it “classic.” It has a silicon escapement and balance spring and, more immediately apparent, a dial so all over the place, most traditional manufactures would throw the design and its designer out when the first sketches were presented. However, in a Breguet, it all just works, anyway.
But not all the replica watches can (or should) have an open dial and multiple balance wheels – some have to be much more fabulous and elegant, in the more traditional meaning of the latter. That’s where the fake Breguet Classique 7787 comes to our vision.
Like some other Breguet replica watches, the 7787 balances its smaller diameter with some unnervingly straight lugs that are just the right length – the designer managed to not make the lugs a compensatory element, something that generally still happens too often on otherwise fine looking cases. As such, the 7787 is a rather small watch by 21st-century watch standards, but it still has enough presence to look elegant – and not apologetic. Most brands tend to struggle greatly either when it comes to making these designs look great stretched to above forty wide – that is just the nature of proportions – or with timid-looking, petite watches instead. This Breguet is neither stretched nor timid. It’s just about right. 
Breguet hands meet Breguet numerals on the dial and that by itself is a solid recipe for success. Just these two elements are like the signature or a fingerprint of a genius. It is something that was made many years ago and has been functioning in perfect harmony since. Kudos to Breguet for not butchering the hands but keeping them the proper length – public service statements that watch hands must at all times reach their respective tracks, not point at them!
If you disagree with what I presented, I find some playfulness in this 7787. Perhaps it is in how the circular ends of the main hands clash with the circular counterweight of the seconds, with legibility further hindered by the long “F U” power reserve hand that stretches far too long across the dial. However, as this small watch would be peeking out from under a perfectly tailored cuff, after several months of ownership I can imagine many will wish they had gone for the watch that had some fun element there on the dial, not just the white plain of enamel to keep everyone happy by seeing you’re part of the pack, wearing a boring watch.

The fake best Breguet Classic 7787 is a developed taste for sure but, then again, that’s just fine. Breguet makes a sufficiently wide range of traditional dres’ watches, but once you’ve owned those – or if you can imagine what it would be like to have a safe dress watch – you’ll probably begin to appreciate the quirky-cool versions a bit more.

Most of you are rather familiar with the two replica watches we are going to talk about today, let’s see more details here.
With cases measuring 44mm, the Deepsea and the Yacht-Master II are in fact the biggest Rolex models to date. Due to its 17.7mm thickness (compared to the 14mm of the Yacht-Master II), the Deepsea feels much larger and heftier on the wrist. The bulkier case of the Deepsea is necessary to ensure its extreme water-resistance of 12,800 feet—there is the helium escape valve, the titanium caseback, the thick domed sapphire crystal, and the nitrogen-alloyed steel central ring to the house.
While the Yacht-Master II watch is water-resistant up to 330 feet, the watch performs above water. The Yacht-Master II consists of a regatta chronograph, complete with a countdown mechanism and mechanical memory. A regatta is series of sailing competitions where boats have differing start times—hence the countdown function.
While the Deepsea D-Blue functions are almost the same as the standard Deepsea, it does boast a unique dial. Using specific design cues, the dial commemorates James Cameron’s historic 2012 descent to the Mariana Trench. To begin with, there is the gradual color change from bright blue to deep black to signify the darkness of the deep. Then there’s the bright green color of the “DEEPSEA” label mimicking the color of the submersible Cameron used.
On the other hand, the Yacht-Master II sports a white dial featuring a special layout that is significantly different from other Rolex watches. There’s the off-centered 10-minute countdown scale with an arrow-tipped hand, the running seconds subdial, and the blue and red accents. Just this year, the best replica Rolex updated the dial of the Yacht-Master II to include Mercedes-style hands along with triangular and square indexes at 12 and 6 o’clock, respectively.
Typical of the Rolex sports watches, both the Deepsea D-Blue model and the steel Yacht-Master II model have Oyster bracelets but with different clasps. Since it’s a diver’s fake watch, the Deepsea includes the Glidelock and the Fliplock extension systems to ensure the watch fits over a wetsuit. Besides, both timepieces also have a Cerachrom ceramic bezel, but again, their functions are different. The diver’s bezel used to keep track of immersion times on the Deepsea only rotates in one direction as a security measure. On the contrary, the bidirectional blue ceramic bezel on the Yacht-Master II serves to control the countdown function. As a result, the Rolex replica has dubbed the Ring Command.
This speaks to the collectability of the James Cameron Deepsea D-Blue—it is one of the more difficult contemporary Rolex watches to the source.
