The vintage Rolex replica watches are frequently the timepieces of choice for many of the world’s most popular and influential individuals, which are synonymous with success and personal achievement. While a large number of celebrity Rolex owners choose to adorn their wrists with the manufacturer’s newest offerings, there are many others – usually those with a solid interest in watches – that decide to wear fake vintage Rolex timepieces.
As an avid watch collector, John Mayer owns several remarkable watches – both vintage and contemporary – from a wide variety of manufacturers. However, the singer-songwriter owns a reference 5517 Military Submariner, several vintage Daytona chronographs, and a reference 1680 Submariner among the numerous vintage Rolex pieces in his collection, which was issued to COMEX and has the dial to prove it. 
Even though it is primarily male celebrities that are most frequently seen wearing vintage Rolex watches, Ellen DeGeneres has a truly impressive collection of some of the more rare and desirable vintage Rolex timepieces in existence. Apart from a reference 1655 Explorer II and a “Blueberry” GMT-Master, DeGeneres owns a Paul Newman Daytona, a 1970s reference 6265 in gold, and some other vintage Daytona chronographs.
Another popular watch collector and vintage Rolex aficionado, Eric Clapton has either owned or presently owns some of the most collectible replicas Rolex watches ever manufactured. In addition to several ultra-collectible Submariner and Daytona references, Clapton previously owned prototype Yacht-Master chronograph from the late 1960s. It is believed that only three of these Yacht-Master prototypes were ever produced; one resides inside the Rolex safe in Geneva, and the other is part of John Goldberger’s personal collection.
Gordon Ramsay appreciates a fine timepiece (just like many celebrity chefs), and can frequently be seen wearing one when cooking in the kitchen or filming one of his many television shows. Although the replica watches most commonly associated with him is a Breitling chronograph with a yellow dial, the chef and restaurateur also own a vintage Submariner, which is rumored to be manufactured the same year that he was born. 
Even if his collection does not consist of the most expensive fake Rolex watches ever manufactured, Ryan Gosling does own many different vintage Rolex timepieces that can be spotted on his wrist at various red carpet events. Rather than concentrating on celebrity favorites like the Submariner or the Daytona, the majority of the watches in Goslings collection are small, simple Rolex timepieces, like the reference 5500 Air-King that he wore to last year’s Golden Globes awards show.
