Swiss Made Fake Rolex personalisation gets the green light from Swiss Supreme Court
An unnamed business that personalises perfect replica Rolex watches has secured a high court ruling in Switzerland that will allow it to continue tinkering with Rolex timepieces.
The case reached the Swiss Federal Supreme Court after the third party custom watch specialist appealed an earlier ruling that found in favour of luxury fake Rolex, which fiercely defends itself if any business sets out to profit from the stature of its brand while altering its watches.
The case hinged on the difference between personalising watches on behalf of a client, which was deemed acceptable, and the general marketing of modified best 1:1 Rolex replica watches, which falls foul of its intellectual property rights protections.
The Federal Supreme Court ruled that the lower court had shown a “profound misunderstanding” of the difference between personalisation of a client’s own watch and the marketing of modified watches.
The case covers many of the same issues raised in a lawsuit aaa quality fake Rolex raised against La Californienne, a Californian firm that used to sell customised Rolex and Cartier watches before launching a line under its own name.
La Californienne fell foul of the law because it was buying Swiss movement Rolex fake watches, customising them, and then marketing them in a way that might have confused clients into thinking that their business was in some way associated with the Swiss giant.
This week’s ruling in Switzerland would not have saved La Californienne because it made clear that only clients’ watches could be customised, and could not be marketed in any way as high end copy Rolex-approved products.
The key to staying on the right side of the law appears to hinge on who owns the watches that have been altered. If the customiser owns the watches, changes their appearance, and then markets them as Swiss super clone watches, then it is breaking the law.
If a company markets its service to personalise a client’s watch, then it is in the clear.

Sylvester Stallone’s perfect replica Panerai split-seconds chrono watch worn in The Expendables is up for auction
Sylvester Stallone is a well-documented watch collector, and pieces of his going up for auction are by no means an entirely new phenomenon. But, when high quality replica watches from famous individuals hit the mainstream auction block – Phillips, Sotheby’s, and Christie’s – there is a lot of marketing and PR behind those lots and they inevitably get a lot of attention and bids. With a lesser-known website like Propstore Auction, which regularly auctions off film costumes, props, etc., however, things can slip a bit more under the radar. If of interest, Sylvester Stallone wore his personal 1:1 fake Panerai Luminor 1950 Regatta Rattrapante ref. PAM00332 in the first-ever The Expendables (2010) film. And, as luck would have it, that watch is up for auction right now.
The 44mm luxury fake Panerai, encased in PVD-coated brushed stainless steel, was introduced in 2009. To be honest, I am surprised he was able to wear the watch in the film unless he got access to the piece before it was formally released considering the film was released in 2010. A large and legible 100-metre water-resistant watch, with a split-seconds chronograph complication, the aaa quality replica Panerai is actually a very apt and cool choice for his character Barney Ross to wear. At the time of its release in 2009, it was priced at US$14,500, quite a deal compared to the market at present where name-brand split-seconds chronographs would be priced higher. It was also a limited edition of 500 pieces, with Stallone’s top quality super clone watch bearing the number 96.
While there is plenty of time left in the auction, the lot closing on March 12, the starting bid is set less than the original retail price at US$12,500 with an estimate set at US$25,000 – US$50,000. Were someone able to acquire this Swiss movement replica Panerai at the low end of the estimate range, considering its provenance and relative rarity it would be quite a pick up for a collection – especially if the winner is a ‘Paneraisti’. Do keep in mind, however, that there is a buyer’s premium of 25% added to the final hammer price along with any applicable taxes.
Swiss Made Fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 1530
Most of you will be familiar with the perfect fake Rolex Day-Date Oysterquartz and the Datejust Oysterquartz. They were the successors of the Rolex Date ref. 5100 powered by the Beta 21 quartz movement. But while luxury replica Rolex was still developing the new movements for both models, the design of the case and bracelet was already complete.
That’s why best 1:1 replica Rolex created a small run of the Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 1530. The watch featured the new 36mm case and integrated bracelet and was powered by the brand’s caliber 1570. This automatic movement operated at a 19,800vph frequency and offered a 48-hour power reserve.
The aaa quality fake Rolex ref. 1530 was made from 1975 until 1977, and it is believed that only 1,500 pieces were ever produced. The top quality fake watches all came fitted with a silver dial. Over time, however, many of the dials discolored and developed a nice patina, resulting in both lemony-yellow dials and darker taupe-colored ones. The Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 1530 was also one of the first Rolex super clone watches online fitted with a sapphire crystal, making it even more interesting.
But above anything else, it’s all about combining the Oysterquartz looks with a mechanical movement. That combination is very tempting, offering a pleasing aesthetic with the joys of a mechanical movement. This is why we love this rare but very cool Swiss movement copy Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 1530. But expect to pay serious money for one as they go for roughly €15K–30K.
