300 Years Of Fashion Accessories

For the past three centuries, fashion has been affected by politics, social change and popular culture. Both men and women have used what they wear to indicate their status, comply with social expectations, attract or please a partner, or send a message about their own individuality.

Completing the Look: 300 Years of Fashion Accessories will examine how accessories fit into this. Featuring beautiful accessories dating from as early as 1720 up to the end of the 1970s, the exhibition will explore the reasons behind changes in fashion and what we can discover about the lives of people through what they chose to wear.

What Makes Jewelry & Replica Timepieces Valuable?

There are several factors an appraiser looks at in determining the auction value of an individual item.

Age: Was the item designed during a particular period or era in history (i.e. Victorian, Art Deco, etc.)?

Complication: With regard to replica watches, how complex is the movement? Does it have any specialty features such as a repeater, chronograph, dual time zone, etc.?

Designer: Is the jewelry item attributed to a particular designer such as Cartier or Tiffany? In the case of watches, does a Swiss maker such as Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe or copy Rolex produce the watch?

Materials: What is the item made of, gold or platinum? Metals carry different values. Are the gemstones precious like diamonds or semi-precious such as citrine?

Provenance: Did the item belong to a famous or well-known individual? Can the provenance be proven?

Quality: Basically, one is looking to make the distinction between fine materials and commercial grade materials. There are a number of observations to make with regard to quality. Are the gemstones lively and bright? Are the diamonds white? Are the sapphires medium blue vs. inky blue? In an item having numerous gemstones, how well matched are the colors? This question also applies to pearls. Is the strand well matched for color, shape, luster and surface?

Rarity: In a material sense, is there an uncommon gemstone type or size (for example a 10.00 carat diamond)?

Size: Is the diamond, gemstone or pearl larger than usual? An example would be a South Sea cultured pearl vs. a seed pearl. Is the pocket watch a standard or common size? Is it over-sized or is it extremely thin such as a tuxedo watch?

Uniqueness: Is the item one-of-a-kind or is it mass-produced?

Review Of The Fake Rolex Everest Rubber Strap

Let's face it – being a swiss Rolex collector and enthusiast means that you're going to have to live with a certain amount of monotony. The Oyster bracelet in all it's splendor is the default choice throughout much of the Rolex sport line, as well as the Datejust and other non-sport Rolex models. Sure there's some variation in materials and finish available, but one Oyster bracelet is pretty much the same as the next. As good as it is, some people would like a little more variety – a little added spice and charm to an otherwise uniform Oyster existence. Of course, it isn't hard to find a leather, Nato, or even rubber strap to fit between the 20mm lugs found on most of the Rolex sport models. The problem that the average "generic" strap made to go on any replica rolex watch with 20mm lugs won't look great on a Rolex. Due to the curvature of the case, you'll like see a gap where the strap meets the case. And the clasp won't be of Rolex quality either. Enter Everest and their rubber strap custom made to integrate with the various models of Rolex sport Oyster bracelets.


As you can see, the Everest rubber strap is custom made not only for a Rolex, but this model is specifically made for the Submariner. Everest also sells rubber straps made for the fake GMT Master II, the Explorer II, the Yacht-Master, as well as the latest ceramic sport models – each in a variety of fun colors. Here's a photo of the strap and spring bars I received from Everest for my Submariner:

I was extremely impressed with the quality of these straps – the fit and finish were excellent and I didn't feel like I was "stepping down" in the level of quality I've come to expect from the Oyster bracelet. The Everest website also has excellent instructions which makes installation of the strap a breeze – it only took me about 15 minutes from start to finish to install the strap.
One of the features I like best of the strap is the integration with the Rolex model for which it's designed – in my case, the faux "end link"built on both sides of the strap fits seamlessly against the curved fake rolex watch case. The other ends actually mate with the half link adjustable links on either end of the Oyster clasp:


Integration with the Rolex clasp on the Submariner or Sea-Dweller means you don't loose the functionality of the dive suit extension while using the Everest strap – important since one of the best practical applications I can think of for using a rubber strap over the standard Rolex Oyster bracelet is diving. If you're taking part in any activity which could put your Rolex Oyster at risk of picking up unwanted scratches or "dings" a rubber strap makes a lot of sense. Of course, practical considerations aside, many will want the Everest rubber strap purely based on aesthetic considerations. It brings a refreshing and contemporary look to any Rolex on which it's placed:

The $135.00 price tag of the Everest rubber strap may seem excessive when so many "comparable" eBay quality generic straps can be found in the marketplace, which are typically made of silicon and not high quality (and high cost) thermoplastic rubber which Everest uses. When you consider the cost of the materials, and the design engineering costs of creating a strap to fit individual Rolex sport models exclusively, the $135.00 price tag is at least reasonable. When you consider the cost of refinishing a replica rolex datejust bracelet which has picked up scratches and other wear which would be far more easily weathered by the Everest rubber strap, the strap practically pays for itself.

Cheap Counterfeit Watches Are Coming Soon

Replica watches come to be answered with a consumer demand for luxury products that do not sell for ostentatious price tags. High-end watches have captured the imagination of many people due to their gorgeous designs and detailed crafting, but what keeps the majority from purchasing such an item is the high price.

That's why replica watches were invented in the first place. Today the replica industry has expanded to include models inspired by the most famous watch makers in the world. Mostly, copy Rolex watches are extremely wide-spread and by doing a bit of research you can easily land on high-quality Rolex replica.

Here's the twist: because the replica industry has grown tremendously in the past few years it's not relatively easy to find a place that sells replica watches. However, if you want things to go smoothly you need to pay attention. Do not jump and buy the first Rolex replica you see, because you might end up spending your hard earned cash on a low-end replica that comes with visible flaws and does not even work properly. To avoid that you need to take a few precautions before pushing the "Add to Cart" button.

For those looking to acquire copy Rolex watches (or any fake watches for that matter) you need to know a few things before you get started. It's very important that you get to know the original Rolex models before beginning to look for the replica. Getting acquainted with how the genuine models look and knowing their distinct characteristics will help you determine whether the replica watches you are entertaining are low-end or high-end. Advanced replications will copy every aspect of the original models faithfully, so the attention to details is a big tell-tale sign of whether you are looking at a standard reproduction or a superior one.

For 2016 Rolex has been in stock many surprises and since Beselworld recently closed its gates, some new models have already made into the spotlight including a new Cosmograph Daytona, a new Air-King and a new Yacht-Master. These are just a few revamped models from the entire line of new models, Rolex revealed.

So in 2016, we should expect replica watches to catch up with what's going on in the watch industry and produce new fake watch models that quite possibly could take inspiration from the models I've mentioned above. Surely, being new designs we might have to wait while, but there's plenty of time left in 2016 and I like to stay positive.

Seeing how the replica world has developed in the last few years, it's natural to assume that this year we're going to see an increase in both quality and number of models available for purchase. I'm pretty confident that more and more Rolex replica manufacturers are going to start putting emphasis on quality over quantity.

One thing is sure, exact replica watches are here to stay in 2016 and they are bound to get even better, so stay tuned to find out more.

One In Five Straight Men Rolex Fake Watches Gay Sex

A new study published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour, which examined the porn-viewing habits of 821 gay, straight, and bisexual men from around the country, found a number of unexpected results. Among them: that 55 percent of gay men perfect replica rolex datejust automatic watches straight porn, and 21 percent of straight men watch gay porn.

So what gives? It's no giant leap to hypothesize why gay men might enjoy watching straight porn: to watch straight guys. But when one out of five self-identified straight men reports watching gay porn, it prompts the further question: Are these men really straight, or are they down-low/straight-identified bisexual men?


Dr. Martin J. Downing, the study's lead researcher, had the same question. When his team looked at the data, they confirmed that the straight men didn't report having sex with men, and the gay men (outside of a very small fraction) didn't report having sex with women. Their sexual behavior and sexual identity seem to line up. Downing sees this "identity discrepant viewing" as "some level of evidence" of fluidity in sexual attraction, at least in terms of what people are watching.

Meanwhile, bisexual men displayed porn-viewing habits that were quite distinct from those of their homo and hetero peers. Bi men reported watching guy-on-guy porn just as much as gay men do, and they consumed heterosexual porn (one male/one female) almost as much as heterosexual men. They also reported watching a significant amount of "bisexual porn" that has either two men and one woman or two women and one man. According to Downing, bisexual men aren't "watered down gays or heterosexuals."

"[Bisexual men] are more like heterosexual men in some things, and more like gay men in other things, but that's a reflection of their own unique attractions. They're not identical to either group in terms of their porn viewing, which I think is really interesting for understanding bisexuality."

For instance, both bi and heterosexual men reported viewing solo masturbation material (the report did not indicate the sex of the person depicted) at about the same rate — around 60 percent — while less than 50 percent of gay men did. Bisexual men were markedly less interested in viewing sexually explicit material involving bondage and kink (13.7 percent) than their straight (24.6 percent) or gay (27.9 percent) peers — unless that kink involved fisting, felching, or water sports, all activities gay men were far more likely to report fake rolex oyster perpetual 114300 red watches.

It's unfortunately quite rare for studies examining porn consumption in men to get this level of group comparison — heterosexual, gay, and bisexual men, and enough participants to look at each group separately. The science that has been done thus far tends to break down into two broad camps. The heterosexual porn literature tends to be really specific to violence against women, with the rest focused on the risks of contracting HIV, usually lumping gay and bisexual men together as "men who have sex with men." That is how a lot of research is conducted, but in the light of this study's data it seems to be clearly problematic.

There are a few takeaways from this study: Our porn consumption is more eclectic than previously suspected, and bisexual men are distinct from their straight and gay brothers in their pornographic habits and inclinations. Though not the study's focus, this further suggests that bisexuality isn't simply a way station on the road to being gay; bisexuals are bisexual.
