Jennifer Aniston Wore Swiss Luxury Replica Rolex Watch UK To The ‘Friends Reunion’

Posted on by

So no one told us there’d be luxury replica watches in this show (clap, clap, clap, clap). Get out your flannel shirts, and pour yourself a massive cappuccino, because the Friends Reunion is here. It launched on HBO Max a few days ago and sent the internet into a frenzy with Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, and Chandler back together again. I’d watched the show when it originally aired, and then again recently with my wife (it’s her favorite show). So I was going to watch this regardless, but then I spotted a watch … and then another one.

Friends and watches are not necessarily a surprising pairing. The characters had a number of era-appropriate pieces throughout the show’s original 10-year run. Courtney Cox’s Monica Geller wore a Breitling Chronomat, David Schwimmer’s Ross Geller had a TAG Heuer Professional (in the early seasons), and Jennifer Aniston’s Rachel Green wore what looked like a top quality fake Rolex Oyster Perpetual. There were fewer watches in the reunion, but they were no less cool.
The marquee timepiece was no doubt Jennifer Aniston’s gold case copy Rolex Day-Date on a bracelet (also known as the “President”). She wears the watch when the entire cast gathers on the original set. What’s most surprising, and cool, is that in some instances, she wore the watch over her sleeve – a style cue we’ve seen most notably from Gianni Agnelli. Aniston pulls it off very well.
Of course, the champagne dial fake Rolex Day-Date is the quintessential classic Rolex watch, with its signature President bracelet with polished center links, and the day and date complication. Aniston’s watch looks to be a vintage model (in some scenes you can catch a glimpse of the older style clasp which gives it away). For a star of her stature, this is a very fitting choice.

Man Shocked As He Finds Out How Much Old UK Fake Rolex Watch Is Actually Worth On Antiques Roadshow

While many people try their luck on shows like Cash in the Attic and Antiques Roadshow, often walking away disappointed, one bloke once found his watch was worth A LOT more than he’d imagined.

In this classic TV moment from a few years back, a guy appeared on Antiques Roadshow with a story about a 1960 Rolex GMT- Master replica watch for sale . He’d picked it up for $120.35 (£97 – around $894/£635, in today’s money) back in the 1960s when he was stationed in Germany.

He explained that his sergeant told him they were the best quality fake watches ever made and, being a military man, he was clearly used to doing what his sergeant told him.

The fella rocked up to the Antique Roadshow to get his luxury copy watch valued and reckoned it would probably be worth around $1,500 (£1,219) now.

He told the story of how he came to buy the watch, explaining that it hadn’t been cheap at the time, as it had actually cost him over a month’s salary.

However, the antique expert blew the man’s mind when he told him the watch was now worth between $65,000 to $75,000 (£52,800-£60,900).

This is the face of a man who is trying to work out how quickly he can get to an auction:

The owner had kept all the original paperwork – even his receipt – as well as the original box and bracelet.

Without all that, the rare Swiss made copy watches would have still been worth a fair whack, but thankfully it all added to the value even more.

More recently, another Antiques Roadshow guest in the UK showed off an extremely valuable 18th-century statue – which he’d managed to buy for just £30 ($42).
The man explained how he’d managed to pick up the Chinese bronze statue for just £30 a few months before.

He said: “I’ve collected things for many years now and it was a recent buy about six months ago.

“It was a nice little find at a local car boot sale, I was just walking along the field and there it was on a stall – £30.

“I picked it up and carried on my journey.”

Axpert Lee Young if he’d known what he’d bought when he found the statue, to which the man replied: “I first thought it was from the late Ming dynasty.

“But a friend corrected me and he believed it was 18th-century.”

Young explained the statue is a figure of Amitayus, seated on a ‘wonderful throne’.

“It’s gilt bronze and it’s Chinese, and it dates from the 18th Century,” he said.

“In fact, it dates to the sort of Qianlong period between 1736 and 1795.

“The thought is that actually Qianlong had about 10,000 of this figure made to celebrate his 60th birthday, and in fact, the dowager empress, his mother’s birthday as well.”

Young warned that there are a number of ‘fakes coming onto the market’, but said the guest’s statue had ‘enough honest wear and patination’.

He said: “The quality is good enough to satisfy me that this is one that was made in the 18th Century.

“I have no hesitation in saying that if that came up at auction today it would carry a presale estimate of between £4,000 to £6,000.”
