Talking UK Luxury Rolex Fake Watches With Hurley Haywood, Legendary Race Car Driver
If you love motor racing, especially endurance racing, Hurley Haywood needs no introduction. The Chicago-born race car driver had a career that would make him the hero of any aspiring racer, including five wins at the 24 Hours of Daytona, two overall wins at the 12 Hours of Sebring, and three victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Yes, that’s a twofer for the “triple crown of endurance racing,” and those are only the highlights. Haywood is nothing short of a road-racing legend, and he’s enjoyed a five-decade partnership with two very important names in the world of endurance racing: Porsche and best Rolex replica watches.
Two-Tone Replica Rolex Daytona Ref. 16523 Watches For Winning The 1991 24 Hours Of Daytona
There are Daytonas, and there are Daytonas. This is the latter. Hurley got this two-tone Rolex 16523 for winning the 1991 24 Hour of Daytona, and it is hard to think of a cooler trophy – let alone one that is this easy to wear.
With a white dial and just a splash of red text, this 16523 Daytona is from the Zenith era and was presented to Hurley after he (along with drivers Frank Jelinski, Henri Pescarolo, Bob Wollek, and John Winter) took home first place in the race in a Joest Racing Porsche 962C.
Despite 1991 being the fifth time that Hurley had won overall at Daytona (wow), this was the first time that a Rolex Daytona was part of the prize. At the time, the winner’s UK 1:1 Rolex fake watches was usually a steel example, but given Hurley’s history, Rolex dialed it up and went with the two-tone option.
The well worn caseback reads “Rolex 1991 24 Hours of Daytona Award.” It does not get much better than that.
Fake Rolex Datejust Ref. 16220 Watches
This is the watch that Hurley had on his wrist when we met for the Talking Watches shoot. It’s a lovely and very subtle 36mm high quality replica Rolex Datejust 16220 watches with a white dial, Roman numerals, and a steel engine-turned bezel. These days, Hurley wears it on a matching oyster bracelet, but that’s not how the watch was delivered…
For the full story – including a certain race-worn Timex, a call from a gentleman named Roland Puton (the then-chairman of Rolex USA), and a very unexpected strap pairing – well, you’re going to have to watch the video.
Gold Rolex Datejust Replica Watches
This lovely vintage gold perfect Rolex Datejust copy watches was given to Hurley by his husband to celebrate their marriage. It’s a reference 1611 with a Florentine finish on the case and bezel, along with a caseback engraving to mark the special occasion.
Rolex Cellini Ref. 6633 Fake Watches
The more successful the race car driver, the more likely it is that they may need to dress up from time to time, and this uncommon ref. 6633 Rolex Cellini replica watches for sale was given to Hurley by Rolex after he expressed a need for something somewhat dressier.
With an 18k gold case with hinged/hooded lugs that help connect to a black leather strap, this Cellini is quartz-powered and omits both seconds and date display. Given the owner and the backstory, it’s not surprising that the caseback is engraved, reading”To Hurley Haywood from Rolex.”
Replica Rolex Daytona Ref. 116515 Watches In Gold
This somewhat more modern Daytona is a reference 116515, and it was presented to Hurley for being the Grand Marshal at 24 Hours of Daytona in 2013. This is Swiss made fake Rolex watches that is commonly seen on Hurley’s wrist at motorsports events and it’s a fitting combination of the right model (a Daytona), with a very sporty chocolate dial and an 18k Everose case.
Also finished with a lovely caseback engraving (are you seeing a theme here?), this 116515 is yet another trophy in honor of Hurley’s career, his wins at Daytona, and his longstanding relationship with Rolex.
Fake Rolex Yacht-Master Ref. 16622 Watches
This watch, wholesale super clone Rolex Yatch-Master 16622 watches, is not only the watch that Hurley got from Rolex after 30 years of working with the brand, but it’s also a watch that Hurley casually handed to me several years ago in the lobby of a hotel in Carmel, California, during Monterey Car Week. I had maybe two minutes to chat with Hurley and get a couple of shots of the watch, which can still be seen in my photo report from the event.
I adore this reference for its largely monochromatic appeal and its placement as a less-common alternative to the ubiquitous Submariner. There is something very fitting about a YM for a successful race car driver. Maybe it’s the sporty dash of red; maybe it’s just the fact that it feels like a special choice from the catalog of that era. Regardless, for me, the 16622 will always be the “Hurley” Yacht-Master.
Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126710BLRO Replica Watches
Here we have the most recent addition to Hurley’s collection, a modern “Pepsi” GMT-Master 126710BLRO. When we recorded this episode of Talking Watches, Hurley had owned this watch for about two days, as it was presented to him by during the 24 hours of Daytona this past January.
The Rolex replica watches with Swiss movements was a complete surprise and the watch commemorates 50 years of working with Rolex, a milestone that Hurley crossed in 2023.
Keeping with the trend, Hurley’s new perfect Rolex GMT-Master II replica watches is also engraved with a special message from Rolex, which can be seen in the image above.
