2023 has been a mega-good year for luxury replica watches. The scene is crackling with independent makers turning out both affordable gems and artisanal, handcrafted, not-so-affordable heirlooms. The big brands, meanwhile, have all brought their A-game, and a pair of major anniversaries delivered two of the year’s most desirable special-editions.

As I cherry-picked my list of favorites, I was surprised to discover that many of these pieces weren’t unveiled at Watches & Wonders, the massive trade show where many brands show off their offerings for the year. It speaks to the way this world is splintering off and welcoming all comers. Here are my personal favorite UK top fake watches from 2023.
