No, I’m not talking about the Submariner and Explorer II’s famously good looks – we’ll get there in a minute. Both timepieces have a pretty long history with Rolex, and over the years, they have been worn and beloved by many famous faces.The Submariner is famous for its James Bond appearances, author Ian Flemming writing, “He could not just wear a watch. It had to be a Rolex.” Over the years, Sean Connery’s 007 wore a Submariner ref. 6538 and Roger Moore sported a ref. 5513. And as one of the most popular Rolex models ever, we often see the Submariner sported today on the wrists of celebrities and dignitaries alike – whether they’re scuba divers or not.The Rolex Explorer II has graced its fair share of celebrities and famous explorers too. Hollywood actor, Jason Statham can frequently be spotted at red carpet events sporting a vintage ref. 1655 – the very first Explorer II reference. Meanwhile, Prince Harry prefers the modern version of the watch, and owns the 42mm Explorer II ref. 216570 with a white “Polar” dial.This is where the differences between the Submariner and the Explorer II become very apparent. First up, the Submariner has a colored unidirectional timing bezel that today is available in black, blue or green. And before Rolex started using modern, scratch-resistant Cerachrom (aka ceramic) bezels on the Submariner in 2007, it featured an aluminum bezel. The bezel is really one of the main selling points of this watch, as its color really adds some great personality to the wrist, and is one of the defining characteristics of the Rolex Submariner collection.The waterproof Oyster case on the Submariner clocks in at 40mm, and along with the bracelet, can be either constructed from Oystersteel (904L stainless steel), solid 18k yellow gold, or Rolesor (two-tone steel and gold). This is another big selling point for a lot of collectors, as the combinations of alloys and bezels really allow for a lot of style and creativity. And before I forget: the Submariner has always featured an Oyster bracelet, but in recent years was updated with the improved Glidelock clasp, which allows for tool-free adjustment for a perfect fit.
I have mentioned more than once that Z factory makes the best replica IWC watches, especially the replica IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, which is considered to be the most classic watch in our market. The power reserve has reached 3 days, this is a big breakthrough. Now in the beginning of 2019, along with lots of new replica watches published by other factories, this time ZF also brought us a big surprise, they unveiled the latest models of Portuguese Annual Calendar, after the release of these four models, the dominance of Z factory in replica IWC Portuguese field is further consolidated. The following article will give a basic review of these watches and share photos with you.
The case and bracelet has a better finish than that of Noob, I can say that no other watch companies in our market have such a good case finish like AR factory does on their replica watches. The case is made with 904L stainless steel, with 18K yellow gold coating that is measured to be 5 mils thick. This replica is the latest V2 edition, it is the newest edition, there are still no V8 or V9 editions, about Daytona, Noob factory also has not published the V8 or V9, so, please do not be cheated by other websites that claim to be Noob factory.Replica Rolex Daytona 116508 Yellow Gold Case Replica Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold Chronograph ButtonsThis enhanced V2 edition has bezel being updated, the thickness of bezel engravings is closer to that of genuine Daytona. If you have ever bought the V1 edition of ARF Daytona, you can compare them. Each corner of the case is finished smoothly so that you will not have any scratch feeling when wearing the watch. Like Noob Daytona, now ARF also engraves these secret symbols on the back of each lug.Replica Rolex Daytona 116508 Case BackOn this Daytona, the dial has black and white options. The dial is also improved on the V2 edition. Especially the minute scales, their thickness is corrected and closer to that of genuine. The engravings on inner bezel are more clear and clean, the spacing between each “ROLEX” word is correct. Overall, the dial completion is so perfect besides its fault minute-chronograph counter and hour-chronograph counter, the hands on these two subdials are fixed, they do not have function. However, this is not a big deal, I do not care about the chronograph when I wear a Daytona, besides, if you operate the chronograph too often on a Noob Daytona, it will have technical issues.Replica Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold Bracelet Replica Rolex Daytona 116508 Clasp About this V2 Edition Rolex Daytona from AR factory, if the full mark is 10, I give this watch 9.5. Hope AR factory can fix the chrono issue while still maintaining the stability of the movement.AR Factory Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 43mm 126603 Two Tone 904L Stainless Steel Asia 2824Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 43mm Two ToneBlack is classic, but there are some golden and two tone models existed in Submariner collection, however, I still have not seen one golden Rolex Sea-Dweller before until I saw this one which Rolex published in 2019 Basel. It is the latest Rolex Sea-Dweller watch in 43mm diameter, with reference 126603. What attract me on this watch is its two tone style, which Rolex has seldom used on Sea-Dweller before.
