Gérald Genta was inspired by old diver’s helmets when he made the Royal Oak, and by ocean liner’s portholes when he made the Nautilus. ‘Hublot‘ means ‘porthole’ in French, and just like Genta, this Swiss brand’s designs have distinctly nautical roots – just look at Hublot’s signature bezel design with its exposed screws. That’s why we had to include a best fake Hublot on this list.

The Big Bang Integrated is probably the best and most natural alternative to a Royal Oak in cheap copy Hublot’s range, if only because it has an integrated bracelet (hence the name). The Swiss replica watches‘ skeletonised dial also evokes the myriad Royal Oaks with skeletonised or ‘openworked’ dials in Audemars Piguet’s repertoire.

Unlike the Royal Oak, the high quality super clone Hublot Big Bang Integrated isn’t available in stainless steel, but it is available in titanium, ceramic and precious metals. It also puts out the same sort of vibe as a Royal Oak: it’s brash, it’s eye-catching, it oozes money. We think it makes sense as an alternative.
