About this two tone Submariner 116613LN, there are basically four factories that are making it. BP, GM, AR and Noob. Among four of them, BP is the factory makes the cheapest one. GM is a new factory, I do not know their quality. So, the last two factories AR and Noob are worth your consideration. Based on the V1 edition, this time AR factory update the bezel and dial, the thickness of yellow gold coating on case and bracelet is also improved. First, the 18K yellow gold coating, which the factory claims, is updated to be 8 mils thick. Second, the black ceramic bezel insert is also updated, the golden markers on the bezel are improved to have the same engraving depth. Thrid, about dial improvement, the golden edge of hour markers is narrowed, while the central lume part is wider, so there will be more lume coating on each hour marker to guarantee stronger and longer lume light in dark conditions.So, instead of spending $50 USD more on the 116613LN from Noob, it is better to choose this one from AR factory.I love vintage watches very much. Especially Rolex and Panerai are my most favorite.This generation’s Paul Newman Daytonas are currently flying under the radar. Yes, the Rolex GMT-Master II has already doubled in value, and is likely going to appreciate further due to Rolex carefully managing the supply of that model to the ravenous public, but only by 200%, 300%, 500%. Now, that’s not too bad at all, but the really crazy money is likely hiding somewhere in the far corner of the industry and we won’t know what it is until it’s too late to rush out, cash in hand, and “collect” it.So what should we do in the meantime? I told my little friend, desperate to see a return on his money that he should be patient. He should wait to fall in love. He should truly get to know himself before he pulls the trigger. And then, when he’s good and ready, he should buy a Rolex anyway.
One of the hottest and most sought-after releases in recent years was the reference 116500 Daytona in stainless steel with black Cerachrom bezel. With the exception of its bezel, the new Daytona 116500 was virtually identical to almost any other modern, stainless steel Daytona. However, the aesthetic impact of the black Cerachrom bezel is significant, and the presence of a solid black ring around the face of the watch completely changes the overall appearance of the new ref. 116500 Daytona.Additionally, the new black Cerachrom bezel is more than a little reminiscent of the black acrylic bezels that were fitted to several vintage Daytona chronograph references manufactured during the 1960s and 1970s, such as the reference 6241 and the reference 6263. Although the two materials are significantly different in a multitude of different ways, the black Cerachrom bezel on the new 116500 Daytona is very much the contemporary equivalent of the black acrylic bezel that can be found on a number of highly-desirable, vintage Rolex Daytona references.For the most part, Rolex only moves forward with their designs as they continuously work to refine and improve their watches. However, they have been known to occasionally borrow small design elements from some of their early watches, and implement them into the latest incarnations of their ever-evolving timepieces. Sometimes these design elements get re-imagined or modernized to reflect advancements and improvements in available materials and technologies (like the Cerachrom bezel on the Daytona). Other times, like in the instance of the 24-hour hand on the new Explorer II, these vintage-inspired, design traits get pulled right off a page from a 1970s Rolex catalog and get placed on a watch currently in production.
For a number of years, modern consumer trends have been favoring larger watches. As a result of this, Rolex’s 34mm references have become somewhat forgotten in all the excitement and shuffle that surrounds their larger, sport/professional watchlines. However, recently it seems that smaller-sized watches are starting to make a comeback, and Rolex’s once-overlooked, 34mm watches now represent some of the best values for the money among all Rolex timepieces, both vintage and contemporary.When it comes to Rolex sports watches, the Submariner and Explorer II are amongst the most beloved. And despite the fact that they are both tough, purpose-built timepieces, they’re just about as different as it gets in nearly all respects.But if you’re not very familiar with either watch, comparing these two industry titans can seem daunting. So here, I’m breaking down everything you need to know – and compare – about the Rolex Submariner and the Rolex Explorer II.True sports watches, both the Submariner and Explorer II were built by Rolex with specific jobs in mind – and the hint lies in their names. Unsurprisingly, the Submariner is a divers watch, built to time out scuba dives and withstand the unrelenting pressure of 300-meter (1,000 foot) depths. In fact, this watch has been one of the world’s top diving watches since it was first released back in 1953.The Explorer II, on the other hand, was originally introduced in 1971 for speleologists who work in deep underground caverns. But like the original Rolex Explorer – the watch that provided its foundation – the Explorer II appeals to adventurers and explorers of all kinds, especially since its popular 40th anniversary remodel.
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.
Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 126603 ARF Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 43mm With the use of 904L stainless steel material, the replica Rolex industry has a big change. First, the dominance of Noob has been challenged. Because AR is the first factory that used 904L, and they release stocks faster than Noob, so I think AR now is the biggest factory that sells replica Rolex watches, much bigger than Noob and they actually has the biggest replica Rolex market share. Today, the replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 126603 is exactly made by AR factory, it is made with 904L stainless steel and installed with the most stable Asia 2824 automatic movement.Replica Rolex 126603 Black Ceramic BezelReplica Rolex 126630 Two Tone Case Replica Rolex 126603 Black Dial Two tone case is measured to be 43mm in diameter, the case is made of 904L stainless steel like genuine, the position of “HE Valve” button is set right, which is at 9 o’clock on the left case side. The color tone of “He Valve” is also made correct. Look at the finish of the case, it must be the best case finish among all replica watches. The bezel is uni-directional rotating, it has a black ceramic insert with yellow gold engraved markers in correct depth. Replica Rolex 126603 Crown Replica Rolex 126603 He ValveThe dial is black, it is the classic “Single Red” dial that was just unveiled by Rolex in 2019. However, on this two tone Sea-Dweller 126603, the “Single Red” becomes “Single Gold”, the lettering “SEA-DWELLER” on the dial is in yellow gold, which is in line with the yellow gold tone on the case and bracelet. The dial markers and hands are all filled with Swiss Superlume material in the center, the blue lume light emitting from these markers and hands is so strong, so that you can clearly read the time from the dial even in dark places. On the inner bezel ring, AR factory improves the engravings according to the latest rehaut design on new Rolex watch, so whether the case or the dial details, they are all 1:1 cloned from original.By the way, the gold coating on the case and bracelet is up to 5 mils, which is already thick enough, the gold tone will not easily fade. If the gold coating happen to being scratched, you can send the watch back, the factory can recover it for free.V3 Edition Replica Rolex Day-Date 118135/118138/118139 with Clone ETA 2836-2 904L Stainless Steel Case Replica Rolex Day-Date with Black Leather Strap There are nine models published, with different color on dial and leather strap. The latest V3 edition, it has the following improvements. These watches are made by DD factory, to make sure they have the same case size and thickness, the factory uses a clone ETA 2836-2 movement.The connecting part between case and strap has the same construction as genuine.The back side of the leather band has numbers “346763”, which are the same as genuine, the font color and even stitching are the same as original.Sapphire crystal has new anti-fake Crown Logo, it is in the crystal.On the back of four lugs, there are different symbols engravings on white stainless steel, golden and rose gold models.Like genuine, the case side has a certain degree of arc, the case thickness is the same.Day-Date is the best representative of golden Rolex. The earliest Day-Date is President, because golden Rolex Day-Date was the most favorite watch of American Presidents. Six words can describe the features of the watch clearly: waterproof, automatic, day, date, 904L, long stocks.AR factory also makes this watch, I think it is the main competitor of Noob.
Case is measured to be 41mm in diameter, 14.8mm thick, which includes the crystal glass thickness. The case is 1:1 replicated from original so it has the same size as genuine.Dial is black. Iconic Tudor’s reverse hour hand and shield logo in golden color. Those round hour markers are filled with white Swiss SuperLume material while having yellow gold edge, so are hands. At 3 o’clock, there is a small window displaying date that features black date font in white background. The dial will emit strong green light in dark place, the green dial lume on the replica is the same as genuine.Black dial is protected by sapphire crystal, which is dome shaped and features colorless double-sided AR Coating. With this advantage and see from any angle, the dial will be clearly readable even under sun light condition.Besides the domed crystal face, another element that adds some vintage favor to this replica is its special rivet bracelet, which is made of 316L stainless steel and its central link has 5-mils yello gold coating. The two tone bracelet has a deployant clasp, when the clasp is folded, it looks like a big Tudor shield logo. If you are interested in buying the replica, please check its specification in the following.Movement: Swiss ETA 2824-2 Automatic, 25 Jewels, 28800bph, Nickle Plated Case: 41mm*14.8mm, 316L Stainless Steel, Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel Crystal: Domed Sapphire with Colorless AR Coating, Double Sided Dial: Black with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: Two Tone, Steel and Yellow Gold Plated Water Resistant: 50m V10 Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA 116660 D-Blue Made with 904L Stainless Steel Unveiled by Noob(new updated 126660) The Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA 116660 is one of the best-selling replica Rolex watches in the past, since Noob firstly used 904L stainless steel on the Batman GMT and Submariner, DEEPSEA 116660 is not as popular as Noob’s other flagship products like Daytona V3, Submariner V10, etc. Now, Noob published the latest V10 edition of this replica Rolex D-Blue 116660, I think it will become hot again, many of you guys who bought this watch before may want to replace by this one that is made with 904L stainless steel.This is a big watch that is specially designed for robust guys, case diameter is up to 43mm, and almost 17.5mm thick, not many people are willing to choose D-Blue 116660 as their first watch because it is really too big. And due to the new 904L stainless steel material on case and bracelet, the watch feels heavier than before.Besides 904L stainless steel case material, another big change on this V10 DEEPSEA 116660 lies in the movement, which is changed to Super Clone 3235. In all previous versions, Noob used 3135 movement, this is a big progress they made on this watch.On the V10 edition of DEEPSEA Sea-Dweller D-Blue 116660, Noob also claimed that the ceramic material used on the bezel is upgraded, they said this ceramic is different from that of previous Noob Ceramic watches, this ceramic is imported, so I suppose that they have a special channel to get the ceramic material used in the real watch, so that they have the confidence to said the ceramic is Swiss quality.The gradient dial is classic, the upper half on top is blue, the lower half below is black, such dial color design exactly meets the main theme which this watch wants to represents – the challenge to deep sea. After being improved many times, the gradient dial color looks more natural now.The bracelet is made with 904L stainless steel that is fully brushed, the bracelet is long and does not suit people who have small wrist. This bracelet would be the best fit for such a big watch, other leather or nylon band, while I think is impossible to bear the heavy weight of the case. Inside the case, there is a clone 3235 machine, actually Noob has installed this machine in its previous Single Red Sea-Dweller 126600, the movement has all necessary information engraved on the plates and rotor in gold tone, Noob factory also offers another movement option for this watch, that is a clone ETA 2836.AR factory also makes this watch, I think it is the main competitor of Noob. AR has improved this replica three times, the latest edition is V3, it is also made with 904L stainless steel, while with better case and bracelet finish I think, the movement in ARF 116660 is a clone ETA 2824, while it is also a good movement choice.
The biggest selling point of the Rolex YachtMaster II below is its thick 18K yellow gold coating, let’s see the details first.JF Rolex YachtMaster Replica Movement: Swiss Valjoux 7750 Chronograph, 28800VPH, Fully Functional ChronographCase: 44mm*14mm, 316L Stainless Steel with 5-mils 18K Yellow Gold Bezel: Blue Ceramic, Rotatable Dial: White Band: 18K Yellow Gold with New Style Rolesor Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 100m Rolex YachtMaster II 116688 Replica The Rolex YachtMaster II replica watch is made by J12, which is a factory that accumulated its popularity for making high end Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replicas in the beginning. Now J12 factory starts to manufacture Rolex replicas, which include Submariner and YachtMaster. In my opinion, in casing work, no factories can compare with J12 because it makes their greatest effort in polishing outstanding case. This gold YachtMaster replica uses 18K yellow gold on stainless steel case, the yellow gold coating is very thick, almost on the bracelet, a lot of Rolex fans asked me whether the gold coating will fade or not, I must say the yellow gold coating will never be worn, the factory uses more advanced technology on gold plating. Rolex YachtMaster II Gold Watch Look at the white dial, its classic YachtMaster style, there are red, blue, yellow gold and green colors on white background. All square hour markers feature yellow gold frame while its centre is filled with white luminescence. Small second hand is in green color, it works smoothly. Central hour and minute hands are in light blue, the color is a little lighter than the blue ceramic bezel.
