The first ceramic bezel Submariner appeared in 2009 with the introduction of the steel and gold Rolex reference 116613. A stunning blend of classic and modern dive watch design, the ref. 116613 has since become a highly sought-after dive watch, both at retail and on the pre-owned Rolex market. Other metal variations of the ceramic (aka “Cerachrom”) bezel Submariner would later follow. However, none is as intriguing as the Rolex Submariner two-tone example.The Rolex Submariner was introduced to the market in the early 1950s and was the first timepiece in the brand’s catalog to offer water resistance up to 100 meters. This depth rating would eventually be increased to up to 300 meters, where it remains for the modern versions of the Submariner that are sold today. Other notable upgrades made to the line over the past six decades include improved materials (904L Oystersteel), longer-lasting lume (Chromalight), higher-beat Caliebr 3135 perpetual movements, tougher scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, and unidirectional rotating timing bezels.The Submariner was first offered in stainless steel, then in yellow gold. The first two-tone Submariner wasn’t released until 1984, with the reference 16803. This take on Rolex’s famous professional diver introduced the line to a brand new level of collectors who sought a gold Rolex but didn’t have the budget for an all-gold timepiece. Fast forward to 2009 with the release of this article’s featured ref. 116613, a completely redesigned dive watch with an upgraded bracelet and case, a redesigned bezel fitted with a ceramic insert, and a larger display on the dial.The Rolex Submariner is a dive watch legend. From its many appearances in the James Bond franchise to gracing the wrists of numerous A-list celebrities, the Submariner has become one of the most recognizable and coveted luxury watches in the world. The line is varied and offers options in either an all Oystersteel (904L stainless steel), Rolesor (two-tone steel and gold), or solid 18k gold. Today, we will compare two of the most iconic two-tone Rolex Submariner references – the Rolex 16613 and Rolex 116613.
In recent years, Rolex was more likely to use precious metals such as rose gold, platinum and diamonds on their sports series like Submariner, YachtMaster and GMT Master, this makes these sports watches suitable for more occasions. Now, let’s read the following article to see what makes this watch so impressive – the most exquisite diving watch in the world.The replica is made by Noob, case is in rose gold color, the gold coating is very thick, 40mm case meets the current big watch trend for most people, one piece of stainless steel was moulded by machine to ensure the case was 1:1 replicated from original. The bezel is the biggest selling point, embeded with colorful diamonds, this design reminds me another diamond watch of Rolex – Rainbow Daytona. This YachtMaster is exactly the ‘Tutti Frutti’ of Rolex.Black dial features blue superlume on markers and hands, which are filled white luminous material and surrounded by rose gold frame. Date is shown through the window at 3, with a magnifier on top face. The crystal uses thick sapphire and its hardness is tested by Noob factory.The movement is based on genuine Japanese Miyota automatic, although the factory modified it to the look of Rolex Cal.3135, it has a lower repairing rate than other automatic movement used in replica watches.The watch comes with one pair of rubber band in black, if you like leather strap, I can send you one pair for free. By the way, no original box is attached for this Rolex, you need to pay extra dollars to buy, and the watch has been tested to be 50m waterproof. Why not start to prepar one diving watch for your hot summer?In past a few months, every one has focused their attention on the 2017 BaselWorld watch exibition, so was I. Every year a lot of Swiss brands would publish a lot of new models, which were made with new breakthrough watch-making technology, especially Rolex, they will bring some surprising gifts to you guys in Basel every year. This time, I will introduce a monster to you, it is the most professional diving watch series of Rolex, yes, it is Sea-Dweller, look at the red lettering on black dial, red “SEA-DWELLER”, very obvious. We all know Sea-Dweller is famous for their superior waterproof performance because it is specially made for professional divers. However, this new Sea-Dweller is also very good for you guys who may be not expert divers. 43mm in case diameter, not big and just like the size of Black Submariner, it will be under control of your wrist. And the new Sea-Dweller 126600 is very similar to Submariner because of its Cyclops. I can not find such a feature on previous Sea-Dweller models. So this watch will be a good choice for watch fans who like a Submariner-style Sea-Dweller professional diver’s watch.It is already not a secret that our fake watch factories will go to Basel watch exibition, why did they go there? Not only they love watches, but they also wanted to buy some so could manufacture the latest replicas of these new watches. The main reason is that they want to do business and earn a lot of money. By the way, some factory managers really did well in this area. Such as BP, which made this replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600. According to my knowledge, BP is the first factory to publish this Sea-Dweller replica watch, and the watch quality is top, with a very considerable price, I think it is worth for you to get this replica watch.Let us talk movement first, it is genuine ETA 2836. Beating at rate of 28800BPH.
As previously mentioned, the case also received a ceramic “Cerachrom” insert, which is virtually scratch-proof and will not fade and lose its vibrant color like aluminum. The ref. 116613 is also available with Rolex’s patented “Chromalight” lume on the dial, which offers a bright, blue glow for up to 8 continuous hours (as well as larger plots). Similar to the ref. 16613, the newer model Submariner Rolex 116613 is also available with either a blue or black dial and bezel combination. However, the Serti dials on the 116613 only come in blue or black (rather than champagne or silver), and do not feature sapphires set into the markers on the 6, 9, and 12 o’clock locations. Instead, ref. 116613 Serti dials only have 8 diamonds set in them, and feature lume-filled indexes for the 6, 9, and 12 o’clock hour markers.Both the Submariner 16613 and 116613 run on the Rolex Caliber 3135 perpetual movement with a 48-hour power reserve. However, the version of the Cal. 3135 inside the newer ref. 116613 is fitted with an upgraded paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring for better resistance to shocks and temperature variations.
Other Submariners do not have engravings on case back. From the case back, you can see the pins that connect the case and bracelet, they are crafted to be better so that could firmly connect case head, every piece of the bracelet link is made of solid 316L stainless steel, holding the replica is like wearing a genuine Rolex.In a word, the replica inherits all advantages of Noob 116610 LN Submariner but has its own unique features.This is another great vintage project in the replica watch market, which comes with a replica Rolex Submariner. The replica is manufactured by the same factory as Daytona 6214. I have introduced several pieces of replica watches including Panerai and Rolex in my blog, many of them attracted a lot of readers here and they asked me the price, I have to tell them these vintage watches are all sold at reasonable prices. Ref. 5510 should have be the oldest Submariner model Rolex made, it already had the features of modern Rolex Submariner like Mercedes-Benz hands and rotating bezel, however Submariner 5510 also has the iconic features of its own. Here I will introduce the replica to let you know more about those vintage Rolex watches made in old times.The most outstanding place that also makes the watch full of vintage style lies in its dial, which is black. The hour markers of 3-6-9 and bar-shaped also make it different from other Submariner watches. These hour markers are all applied with yellowish luminescence, so are the hands. The dial printings are also in yellow color except the words “200m = 660ft”. Next to the hour markers, there is a circle of minutes scales in track style, which is also different from modern Submariner watch. We actually call such dial “Explorer Style”. The bezel insert is black and features white printings, there is a pearl at 12 o’clock in red triangle background.
