Without further ado, here is a breakdown of the most commonly used luxury fake Rolex nicknames. (And remember, be sure to send this along to your significant other so they can stop wondering why you’re constantly talking about “Batman,” despite being a fully grown adult.)
Bart Simpson
This is some in-the-weeds stuff, but: The crown on certain reference 5513 1:1 replica Rolex Submariners UK made in the mid-1960s — which were the last to feature “gilt” printing — have a coronet (the Swiss movement fake Rolex crown logo) that looks strikingly similar to Bart Simpson’s hair.
Big Crown
Big Crown: This term refers to an early aaa quality replica Rolex Submariner with a larger, 8mm crown signed with the word “brevet” (“patent,” in English), and no crown guards. The first reference to use such a crown was the 6200, but the 6538 Sub worn by Sean Connery in Dr. No also featured one, as did the 5510. (Later models would feature smaller crowns, while high quality fake Rolex Ref. 5512 Subs and later feature crown guards.)
Big Red
A standout of the first generation of manually-wound cheap replica Rolex Cosmograph Daytona models, the “Big Red” denotes a Ref. 6263 with a black tachymeter bezel, screw-down pushers, a black or silver dial, and the word “Daytona” in large, red typeface skirting the edge of the 12-hour totalizer at 6 o’clock. Though not as valuable as “Paul Newman” variants, “Big Reds” trade for big bucks.
