Since 1969, the gold Submariner has become a staple in Rolex’s catalog and has since been joined by two-tone steel and gold Submariner references in addition to 18k white gold Submariner models and even lavish gem-set Submariner examples. It’s clear that there’s no need to choose between a functional dive watch and a luxurious gold dive watch when you can have the best of both worlds in one striking gold Rolex Submariner.Instead of the flat lume plots found on stainless steel Submariners of the era, the yellow gold Submariner 1680 had dials with raised gold hour markers with tritium luminous centers – which eventually picked up their “nipple dial” nickname. Of course, since the Submariner 1680 had a date window, Rolex furnished the acrylic crystal protecting the dial with the customary Cyclops date magnification lens. However, by the late 1960s, the Submariner case had already grown from its original 37mm diameter to the now-standard 40mm (the Submariner ref. 5512 was the first to sport this case size, circa 1959). So, not only did that leave some extra room on the dial for a date window, but since Rolex certainly wanted to grow Sub sales outside of just the dive crowd, fitting a Submariner with a date indication would indeed be a practical addition to a daily sports watch. By the end of the 1960s, the first Submariner Date surfaced as the Reference 1680. Evey one loves Rolex, yes, I love it more than you guys, especially the Daytona, which is a classic Rolex that combines precious metal and practical function. Daytona is suitable for both men and women, sometimes it looks more elegant on women’s wrist, the rainbow Daytona is exactly a Rolex specially created for lady. I also saw some leopard Daytona before, but I never came across a high end replica one. Rolex is the best-selling watch in the world, also loved by you guys who like to buy replicas, so, I will give reviews on more replica Rolex in the future. Today, the watch is a super replica from famous Noob factory, the white steel is the most popular tone among all Daytona models. Those red elements on the dial make the watch perfectly meet its theme – bleeding red race passion.Replica Rolex Daytona 116509-78599 The watch is a 100% 1:1 replica of original Daytona 116509-78599. It is the latest and best version from Noob, other factories like J12 and BP also made this replica, but the best one is from Noob. Maybe the casing and bracelet finishing are better on J12 version, but I have to admit this replica 116509 from Noob factory has the lowest repair rate.Replica Rolex 116509-78599 Daytona Chronograph The black dial is the biggest spot of this replica. Main black background perfectly matches red color. Those printings like “ROLEX” and numeral markers on subdials are all in white color, the white and red colors form a sharp contrast and strong visual storm on the black dial. All hour markers are silver Arabic numbers except three luminous bars at 3, 6 and 9. The centre of the hour and minute hands is also applied white luminescence. Three small hands on the subdials and the big central second hand are in red, which echoes with the red minute scales.About its function, like genuine, small second hand is running on the 60-second subdial at 6, subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock are for minutes and hour chronograph separately. If you want to activate the chronograph function, you just need to push the button at 2, but firstly you need to loose the screw on that button, when you push the 2:00 again, the central red hand will stop. If you want the red hand back to 12:00, just push the button at 4 o’clock. So, the replica Daytona works 100% the same as genuine. To adjust the time and wind the watch, just operate the crown.
I think this is the main reason why this Rolex 116518LN replica is much more expensive than other Rolex Daytona watches, it has too many big selling points.In recent days, AR factory published a lot of Rolex Daytona replica watches that are made of genuine 904L stainless steel, these Daytona replica watches are best of the best in our market, however, these Daytonas have one fatal flaw, that is the non-working minute and hour chronograph. So, although ARF Daytona replica watches are made of the best material, they are still not perfect for watch fans who require full functional chronograph. Today, the Daytona replica watch that is going to be discussed in this article is an old model published last year, by J12 factory. Although the watch is made with 316L stainless steel and equipped with an Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, it works accurate, you know, high stability is very important for a chronograph watch. Nowadays, replica watches from big factories like Noob, J12, BP and ZF could be made 99% the same as genuines in outlook, only the movement is the biggest flaw, so to make the fake movement look closer to genuine caliber, these factories are spending a lot of time and effort in modifying the basic movement to make it look real, everyone knows too much modification on movement will affect its stability, so, in my opinion, these new Super Copy 3135 used on Submariner and clone 4130 on latest ARF Daytona are not as good as you think. However, this yellow gold Daytona uses the old Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, whose accuracy and stability have been tested for years by a lot of chronograph replica watches, so, this Daytona I am about to post is very rare and really good, you will never regret after purchase.Second, the bezel insert is made of black ceramic, Tachymetre scales on bezel is in yellow gold tone, which exactly echoes with the gold dial and case. Black rubber band adopts the most natural rubber material imported from Thailand, it is soft and durable, most importantly, the rubber band does not have smell and perfectly fit your wrist.Let’s check the golden dial, three subdials work the same as genuine, the subdial at 6 is for small seconds display, 30-minute chronograph counter is at 3 and 12-hour chrono counter is at 9. When you unscrew the button at 3 and push it, the second-chronograph hand on the centre will start to work. Hour markers, hour and minute hands are all applied white luminous material.
While bidirectional rotating bezels may be quicker for wearers to turn to the appropriate spot, as a dive bezel it’s not the best option. If the bezel gets accidentally knocked, this could cause divers to miscalculate how long they have been underwater. Therefore, a unidirectional bezel is more prudent because accidental knocks to the bezel can only result in overestimating immersion time – it’s far preferable to start ascending to the surface earlier or spend longer than necessary at a decompression stop.Rolex began equipping the Submariner with unidirectional bezels starting with the Submariner Date ref. 16800, which was introduced around 1979. The no-date Submariner model received a unidirectional bezel with the introduction of the Submariner ref. 14060 in 1990.Like the previous generation, the new unidirectional bezels included aluminum bezel inserts. In 1983, Rolex introduced the first two-tone Submariner model in the form of the Submariner Date ref. 16803, which sported a yellow gold knurled bezel with a black or blue aluminum insert. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Submariner in 2003, Rolex introduced the stainless steel Submariner Date ref. 16610LV with a green bezel insert.In 2008, Rolex introduced the first Submariner models equipped with unidirectional bezels featuring Cerachrom inserts. Cerachrom is Rolex’s proprietary ceramic alloy that is not only resistant to scratching but also to fading. The 60-minute graduations are cut into the bezel and then the ceramic bezel insert is fully coated with either yellow gold (for yellow gold and two-tone models) or platinum (for white gold or steel models). The gold/platinum is then polished away from the ceramic surface until only the recessed numerals and markings are left with the metal filling.By 2012, Rolex had rolled out the Cerachrom bezels across all Submariner models and color options include black, blue, and green. A quick way to know the color of the bezel is to look at the letters in the reference number: LB (blue bezel), LN (black bezel), and LV (green bezel).
It’s the kind of watch that when you slip it on, you instantly feel elevated. Hard to ignore, this bezel is a real head turner.When the green bezel was first introduced in the 50th Anniversary edition of the Submariner, it took the world by storm. Never before had a color like that been used by Rolex, and soon, it became beloved. So in 2010, Rolex upgraded their green bezel Submariner to feature Cerachrom, making the bezel more bold and durable than ever before. The improved bezel also matches a stunning green sunburst dial, which gives this watch a bold and very imposing look – hence the “Hulk” nickname.The Rolex Daytona and the Monaco Grand PrixThe Monaco Grand Prix and the Rolex Daytona are two icons in the world of automobile racing. Today marks the 90th anniversary of Monaco’s legendary F1 race, and in the spirit of celebrating motorsport icons, we also turn our attention to the Rolex Daytona – widely considered to be one of the greatest driving watches ever made.The Submariner, on the other hand, is a classic three-handed watch – hours, minutes, seconds. It’s available with or without a date function. It’s available in all-steel, two-tone steel and yellow gold, yellow gold, and white gold, each with the revolutionary ceramic “Cerachrom” bezel.The Monaco Grand Prix is regarded as one of the most iconic and important automobile racing events in the entire world, and today it celebrates its 90th anniversary. Held each year since 1929 on a narrow course laid out through the streets of Monaco, the race includes numerous elevation changes, tight corners, and even a tunnel, making it one of the most dangerous and demanding tracks in Formula One racing.Due to the hazardous nature of the Monaco circuit, it is the only Grand Prix that does not adhere to the FIA’s mandated 305-kilometre (190-mile) minimum race distance for F1 races. Additionally, along with the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Monaco Grand Prix forms the Triple Crown of Motorsport.Another motorsports icon, the Rolex Daytona is widely considered to be one of the finest racing chronographs ever made. Launched in 1963, the Daytona was named after the American race that Rolex sponsors. Being introduced shortly before the ‘Quartz Crisis’ the Rolex Daytona was not an immediate success; however, it later gained an immense amount of attention from collectors, with values exponentially shooting up within the last several years.Watches that once lingered on dealer’s shelves are now highly sought-after collectibles, and arguably no other watch is as fiercely collected as the Rolex Daytona. At the present time, it is a Rolex Daytona (Paul Newman’s personal Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 6239) that holds the record of being the most expensive wristwatch ever sold, with a whopping final sale price of $17.8 million.Due to their similar names, near-identical style, and matching functionality, there is often some confusion surrounding the Rolex Datejust and Date watches. However, since these two similar watches are considered different Rolex watch collections, we will discuss the differences between the Rolex Datejust vs. Date to clear the confusion once and for all. The History Of The Rolex Datejust And Date Watches To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the company, Rolex unveiled the Datejust in 1945 as the world’s first chronometer-rated wristwatch with a date window on the dial. The then-new Rolex Datejust also brought together the brand’s other groundbreaking innovations such as the waterproof Oyster case (invented in 1926) and the self-winding “Perpetual” mechanical movement (invented in 1931). As a result, the watch’s official name is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust.Another novelty of the Datejust was its five-link bracelet design, called the Jubilee bracelet. The inaugural full yellow gold Datejust model combined a 36mm case with a fluted bezel and a Jubilee bracelet – design elements that are still popular within the modern Datejust collection even if the lineup has flourished with a vast assortment of different metal, bezel, bracelet, and size options.The Rolex Date joined the company’s catalog in the mid-1950s as a slightly smaller alternative to the Datejust. Rather than a 36mm Oyster case, the Oyster Perpetual Date watch sported a 34mm case housing a dial with a date window at 3 o’clock. Although there were a handful of other style options available such as solid gold models, the majority of early Date references were stainless steel with smooth bezels and three-link Oyster bracelets.Right off the bat, we see that the Rolex Date was not just a smaller iteration of the Datejust, but also a somewhat more casual option too. By the time Rolex released the Date model, the Cyclops date magnification lens had already been introduced in 1953. The Cyclops bubble serves to magnify the date window by 2.5 times and it has become a fixture of all Datejust and Date watches since its inception.Rolex Datejust Vs.
On white dial, all functions of the watch are shown on front of your eyes. At 12 o’clock, there is an annual calendar window displaying month, date and week. The small dial at 3 o’clock is a 7-day power reserve indicator, it is showing the remaining power reserve energy of the replica watch, like genuine Portuguese Annual Calendar watch, the power reserve hand of the replica is functional. Although the replica does not have a real 7-day power reserve capacity, it can provide you two-day timing with one full winding.
VS made this replica with two versions, the stainless steel model and the one with orange rubber strap. Both have a case diameter of 42mm. The first thing that immediately grabs my eyes is its orange bezel, which is made of alloy metal not ceramic, there are black markers on the orange bezel insert. The orange color of bezel perfectly matches the orange color usage on Arabic numeral hours markers at 6, 9 and 12 o’clock.I think no need to give a review on the case and bracelet. I have reviewed a lot of replica watches from VS factory, you know, VS is a big factory, it has the same high popularity as Noob and J12 among our watch fans, so, you do not need to ask too much about the case finish, I will tell you, every replica coming from VS factory will be completed in a perfect level in finish, including this Omega watch. You need to buy one to feel the quality by yourself. Sometimes it is useless to see these pictures, just touch and wear the watch.
Frontal crystal is made of sapphire, the surface has a layer of anti-reflective coating that looks a little purple when seeing at a certain angle. This features on the replica is 100% the same as genuine. Black dial does not have special points, like other diving watches, it has a strong lume effect. See the dial lume picture below, you can see there are three different lume color on the dial. The skeletonized design of hour and minute hands is also my love about the replica. Central second hand has a red tip that just echoes with the red “Seamaster” lettering below OMEGA LOGO. I have to say the skeleton design of hands is a little similar to the feel which the bracelet gives to me.Finally it comes to the band, which is fully brushed stainless steel bracelet. I can not find a professional word to describe the bracelet, but actually I find its design perfectly matches the whole theme of the replica watch. I can not find any other bracelet on this watch that will have such a design similarity to its hands and bezel. Perhaps a vintage nato strap will also work fine.The bracelet looks a little loose on my wrist, but the watch body seems to be very nice, I love big watch.
