Sticking with undersea operations, the Oris ProDiver collection is an interesting one, given that Oris is one of the few watch companies that remains actively engaged in dealings with commercial divers. More specifically, Roman Frischknecht is a commercial diver that has been an Oris ambassador for some time, and rather than simply being an ambassador in name, Roman has played a crucial role in the development of the ProDiver collection ahead of its launch in 2009.It was his insight that led to the creation of the brand’s bezel locking system, known as a Rotation Safety System. Given the level of safety and security protocols involved in his line of work, Roman knew that if he was to be using a conventional dive watch in a modern dive environment, there could be absolutely no room for error, thus a locking mechanism (as seen in other divers like the Omega Ploprof, among others) would be mandatory.Although the roots of the Yacht-Master II relate to activities on the water’s surface rather than deep below, its unique functionality is perfectly suited to this category. After all, the Rolex Yacht-Master II is what is often referred to as yachting timer – a countdown chronograph that can be used to properly measure the start time of a regatta, also known as a sailing race.Arguably the most complex watch in the present Rolex collection, the Yacht-Master II uses an interesting combination of bezel position, crown position, and pusher action in order to set its countdown duration between 1 and 10 minutes, with the chronograph capable of flyback (or fly-forward) functionality to the pre-set time with a single activation of its lower pusher. While many Yacht-Master II wearers are unlikely to ever use this highly specific function for its actual intended purpose. being able to run a countdown like this isn’t shy on practical daily-life applications… grilling timer, anyone?
Looks-wise, the watch that comes the closest to an all-steel model is now the ref. 116509, which is cast in solid 18k white gold and has the price tag to prove it.That means a delve into the archives is the only avenue still open should you want one, and it is the previous generation that is proving the most affordable. The ‘Zenith’ Daytona ref. 16520, powered by the fabled El Primero, is still the gateway into steel Cosmograph Daytona ownership.Of course, the word ‘affordable’ is all relative. Prices start at around the $20,000 mark, which is a hefty slice of anyone’s money. Yet beyond being one of the most handsome and capable models ever made, any Rolex Daytona represents perhaps the surest investments watch collecting has to offer.It’s a tough call, but the starkly austere Explorer might well be the watch that has changed the least (visually) over its 70-year run. That is even for a manufacture that updates aesthetics at the glacial pace that Rolex does. Every reference, from the prototype Pre-Explorer ref. 6150 from 1952 up to the last of the ref. 114270s in 2010, have been simple three handers, with the beautifully legible white on black 3/6/9 dials, housed in a 36mm case.Then along came the ref. 214270, identical in the detailing but the first example to grow beyond the dimensions in 58-years, measuring 39mm. It increased in size for the same reason as the Datejust – fashions demanded it – but unlike that watch, it became the only option available.That is no bad thing. The Explorer is perhaps the last of the true tool watches in the Rolex catalog. There is nothing about any iteration of the watch that is designed to look flashy or draw attention to itself, and a few extra millimeters doesn’t change that. The new Explorer is basically the old Explorer, and whichever you choose will come down to whether your wrist size suits one or the other.Its strength has always been in its simplicity, and it remains one of the best value for money prospects on the pre-owned Rolex market. $5,000-$6,000 is the buy-in point for a well set up example of the ref. 114270 or, if you fancy going the real vintage route, the celebrated ref. 1016 (personal timepiece of James Bond author Ian Fleming) starts at a little over twice that. Tough, elegant and perfectly built, the Explorer has always stayed true to Rolex’s roots.
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.
Today, I was just back from our traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, it is time to share the latest news in our watch industry, within these days, there were a lot of new watches published in our market. For example, Noob published Super Clone 4130 Daytona V3 edition and GMT-Master II 126710 Blue/Red, OM factory unveiled a lot of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches, VS factory made some stunning Omega Seamaster watches, etc. Among these new watches, the most attractive should belong to the GMT-Master II made by Noob factory.At the beginning of 2019, Noob only published one Rolex GMT-Master II, that is Blue/Black 116710BLNR, that is the only one GMT-Master II from Noob made with 904L stainless steel. After that, Noob put their emphasis on Daytona watches, in September, the Daytona products with 904L stainless steel and Super Clone 4130 movement have been upgraded to V3 edition, we must admit that currently Noob factory has the best replica Daytona. However, in researching and developing other Rolex models, especially GMT-Master II, Noob has fallen behind other factories like GMF. But if we look at the Submariner, you’ll notice it always has a dark face. The most common is the black dial, but the blue and green dial Submariners are incredibly popular as well. What defines the face are those beautiful rounded, lume hour plots which pop against the dark colors of the dial. To break it up, you’ll also find an inverse triangle up at 12-o’clock and down at the 6 and 9 o’clock locations, there are rectangular lume plots.Of course, over at three there is the date window under a sapphire crystal cyclops lens. And swinging around the dial are those world-famous Mercedes hands which are also outfitted with easy-to-read lume. The dial of the Submariner is quite simple yet stylish and versatile, which is what draws a lot of people to this iconic model.
Breitling not only has diver’s watch series, but also has pilot watch line. The Chronomat B01 is a popular pilot series of Breitling and has always been a hot model that is cloned in our watch market. If you like a textured watch in full stainless steel, Breitling Chronomat B01 will be a good choice. Today, I want to show you a Breitling Chronomat B01 AB0110 watch that did not have good replicas before, now this watch was replicated by G factory, which was also called GF, finally has its top replica, with every detail completely improved upon previous editions that were manufactured by other small factories. The replica Breitling Chronomat B01 AB0110 is made with a genuine 1:1 as reference, most watch parts in this replica could even be exchanged with genuine watch.The case is 45mm in diameter, which is bigger than most big watches in current watch trend. It has a thickness of 16.5mm. With such a solid stainless steel case and bracelet, the first feeling this replica watch gives you is heavy, but I love this feeling. Do you want to buy a watch that has a light weight? I do not. The heavy texture makes rest assured. Whole case is polished, bezel is uni-directional rotating and has studs, the engravings on the bezel are deep and wide, which are in matt finished. The lume pearl at 12 o’clock on the bezel is full and round, it has the same lume color as the markers and hands on the dial.Black dial seems to be a bit crowded, hour markers and hands have luminous material coated, Breitling Chronomat B01 AB0110 is a chrono watch, so there are three subdials, the subdial at 9:00 is for small seconds display, 30-minute chronograph counter is at 3 o’clock, the 12-hour chronograph counter is positioned at 6 o’clock. On the center of the dial, there is a big square with obvious vertical patterns, I do not like this patterned square on the dial. A black date window is set at 4:30, which features white font. On the crystal, there is a sticker, you can read “GF” and “SAPPHIRE” from it. Like genuine watch, the sapphire crystal on the replica also has AR coating.
In my opinion, the competition between them mainly comes from two products, Daytona and Sea-Dweller Single Red 126600, which are the most popular two Rolex replicas in 2019.About Daytona, it is undeniable that Noob makes the best replica, however, about this 43mm Sea-Dweller Single Red 126600, I think both have their own advantages. Noob and AR make it with 904L stainless steel, about movement, Noob has Asia 2836 and 3235 options, while AR factory only has Asia 2824 movement option. AR factory unveiled the replica 126600 earlier than Noob, now the version of 126600 from AR is V3.Both factories make the same case size, which is 43mm in diameter and 14mm thick. However, about the case finish, I think AR factory is better. All clients of mine who bought this 126600 said that the AR 126600 gave them a real feeling when they firstly touched the case and bracelet. Every corner of the case is polished by skilled master, the case of ARF 126600 is completed to be perfect.The bezel uses ceramic insert on both factories. About bezel tooth, AR is a bit sharp, while Noob’s is a bit smooth and has a better touch. The sharp of each tooth on Noob 126600 has a rounded chamfer polishing, so these teeth feel smooth. About the bezel pearl, it looks a little greenish, while Noob’s looks more white, the bezel pearl of AR 126600 is closer to genuine. The inlaid method of the bezel pearl is also different, Noob sticks it with glue, while AR inlays the pearl into, if you check the Noob 126600 carefully, there is glue mark around the bezel pearl, while AR’s is very clean. Because the installation of bezel pearl is different on both factories, Noob’s is a bit higher than its edge around, while AR’s is correct, the same as genuine, it will also not easily fall off. About bezel engravings, AR 126600’s are deeper than Noob’s, because Noob’s bezel engravings are shallow, the platinum coating is exposed to dust and sweat on your hands, so the white coating will easily become black. While the bezel engravings on AR 126600 are much deeper, they can avoid the contact with hand sweat, so after a long time wearing, they still look very clearn. So, about the bezel finish of 126600, I think AR wins.I can hardly find difference. Both Noob and AR have made a good dial. About the letters below red “SEA-DWELLER”, AR’s are slightly plump, while Noob’s are a bit thinner. The lume coating on the dial is a little yellowish on Noob, while AR’s is very clearn.On the side of the helium valve button, Noob has a qr code sticker, while AR factory does not have. Noob makes it correct.
