In the West, we take it for granted that high quality replica watches typically use either Roman or Western Arabic numerals to tell the time – but these aren’t the only two numeral systems in the world, far from it. Eastern Arabic numerals (also called Indo-Arabic numerals) are the preferred way to tell time in the Arabian Peninsula as well as parts of Asia, and while some numerals in this system are similar to Western Arabic numerals, it’s a totally different set of numbers. Just as stick indices or Roman numerals impart a particular aesthetic, Eastern Arabic numerals – with their shapely, brush-like forms – have their own appeal.
It’s worth pointing out that many of these models are technically out of production, or are special orders – many high-end UK best fake watches brands have traditionally produced limited runs, piece uniques or limited editions with Eastern Arabics – so this list is a bit of a hodgepodge of different Eastern Arabic-numeralled copy watches wholesale.
Replica Cartier Santos Watches
Over the years, Cartier has produced numerous versions of their iconic top fake Cartier Santos watches with Eastern Arabic numerals for the Middle Eastern market, including both Santos-Dumont and Santos de Cartier models. Of course, through the maison’s “New Special Order” (NSO) program, you could order any Cartier you like with Eastern Arabics – but Santoses (Santosi? Or is it like “sheep” and you just say Santos?) are by far and large the most common perfect 2025 Cartier replica watches you’ll see with Eastern Arabics. Price: US$13,340 (ref. WSSA0055)
Fake Rolex Day-Date Watches
Famously, you can have luxury Swiss replica Rolex Day-Date watches with a day wheel in one of 26 languages – and one of the most common day wheels you’ll see other than an English one is an Arabic one. Rolex has long produced Day-Dates with Eastern Arabic numerals: the model that most collectors associate with Eastern Arabics is the platinum Day-Date 40 ref. 228206, which Rolex launched in 2016. The usage of platinum is symbolic, too, as Islam prohibits men from wearing gold. The Day-Date is already AAA online replica watches associated with wealth and excess, and Eastern Arabic numerals – with their connotation of the wealth of the Middle East – dial that up to 11, pardon the pun. Perhaps that’s why celebrities like Mark Wahlberg and Tom Brady have been spotted wearing Eastern Arabic Day-Dates. Price: US$82,000 (ref. 228206)
