Black dial is highly readable because of those large white hour markers and hands. There are numeral hour markers except at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. The whole dial design meets the strict military requirement not only because the contrary color usage of black and white, but there are also lume material applied on markers at 3, 6, 9, 12 and central hour and minute hands, so the dial is readable even in the dark. The onion-shaped crown is an iconic feature of Big Pilot, it is very easy to open and rotate, the fit between it and the case is also perfect, so the replica could be water resistant to 50 meters.Finally, it is about the movement, which is an clone IWC 51111 automatic. The movement has a functional power reserve, so the indicator for remaining energy is working, not faux like the one on previous IWC Big Pilot replicas. If you have a chance to own such a replica, you should open the back, and will find the reason why it is is sold at a high price, and the progress the replica watch factory has made.
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.
YL factory makes good quality replica IWC watches like Z factory, while YL is not as popular as ZF because they do not make other brand replicas like Panerai, Tudor and so on. This IWC Big Pilot watch is introduced in the latest 2018 SIHH, it integrates all functions you want in a watch. Some people said there are too many windows on the dial, which have destroyed the balance of watch beauty, but I think it is more practical with these functions. On the replica, it has the same functions as real watch, month, date, week, power reserve, they are all real. By the way, the 7-day power reserve is working the same as genuine watch, but the replica does not have that long power reserve, the clone movement only offers 3-days power reserve capacity, but that has already been amazing for a replica, because in the past it is not able for a watch factory to make such a replica with a long power reserve due to technology limited.
The crown logo on the buckle is not as good as gen. Movement and Crown Brand-new original ETA 25J movement, the replica Rolex Yacht-Master can be equipped with 2824 or 2836 movement, its daily inaccuracy is less than 5 seconds.SuperLume Dial and Hands The lume color has no difference between hour markers and hands.Having introduced several pieces of vintage Rolex replica watches here, and some has won the praise, especially the Daytona Paul Newman. This time I will share another vintage Rolex here, it is Milgauss 6541 replica. Genuine watch was published by Rolex in the 50s, although not as popular as other vintage models like Paul Newman, GMT 1675, Submariner Vintage 5510 and other vintage PAMs. My watch supplier told me that all vintage Rolex models in our market are manufactured by the same factory, including this Milgauss 6541, which has attracted me due to its special dial details.It is not a replica that should be called a super clone like other replicas made by Noob, J12 and V6, but I love it just because of its retro style and some special symbols. Case is 38mm in diameter, black bezel has a big triangle mark in orange color at 12 o’clock, there are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 digits and triangle markers all in white. The bezel could be unidirectional rotating. Dial is black and has special patterns, all hands are in silver tone, unique lighting second hand has a red tip that is very eye catching. Three-dimensional silver triangle marker at 3, 6 and 9, other hour markers are all yellow dots. The word “MILGAUSS” under Rolex Crown Logo is in orange color, which exactly matches the orange triangle bezel marker. I can not check how close the replica is made to genuine, but I already has all necessary features of those vintage Milgauss watches produced in that period. If you are a collector of vintage Rolex and hard to find a genuine Milgauss 6541, this one could become a perfect alternative.The replica uses a clone ETA 2836-2 automatic movement, here I made a movement test, see the result on the photo below, it said that there is only one second error each day, and the beating frequency is also the same as genuine ETA 2836-2 movement, which is 28800vph. In a word, this replica not only does well in acting as a vintage Milgauss 6541, but also offers the wearer accurate timing. It is worth buying.Today, I am about to introduce one Panerai replica watch that is engraved with Florentine motifs. Yes, it is the latest Luminor 1950 Firenze 3 Days, with a reference PAM 972. This is not the first PAM which Panerai published with Florentine motifs on case and movement. We know that PAM 604 and PAM 672 also have these special engravings, but these two PAMs are Radiomir limited editions. For PAM 972, it is absolutely the first Luminor watch with Florentine motifs. Now, in Panerai watch family, PAM 972 is also the only one Panerai Luminor watch with such unique engravings. Based on the traditional PAM 372, Panerai made this engraved version PAM 972. The replica PAM 972 Firenze here is made by V9, which is a new factory. It is said that this V9 factory now makes the best Rolex Submariner replica watches, but I do not think so. However, this Panerai Luminor Firenze PAM 972 replica made by V9 has a good quality.I do not know why Panerai makes these special engraved PAMs, whatever, the main purpose I think is to show respect to Firenze, which is the design inspiration of early Panerai watches. Actually the design concept of many modern Panerai models is also coming from this old Italy city.
Case is made of 316L stainless steel and brushed. It is measured to be 40mm in diameter. From side view, the case has a nice arc degree, so this ensure the watch could fit your wrist perfectly. Crown uses screw-in construction like genuine and there are delicate engravings. On solid case back, there are six notches that are exclusive to IWC Mark series. Great polishing work you can see on the back. Opening the case back, you will find a soft iron cage that is antimagnetic between case back and movement, which is the same as genuine Mark XI. By the way, the bracelet is polished beautifully. The front face is brushed while its edges are polished. There are also “IWC” on the front and other engravings on back side. The buckle pin is polished. Now at last, the watch specification will be listed below:
Date Sizes While the first sizes of the Datejust and the Date were 36mm and 34mm (respectively), Rolex did add more size options to both collections over the years. For instance, somewhat puzzlingly, Rolex has in the past produced the Lady-Datejust and the ladies’ Date with 26mm cases, and the mid-size Datejust and mid-size Date with 31mm case sizes. However, perhaps for greater clarity between the two models, Rolex has since discontinued all of the smaller Date versions and currently only makes the Date 34. Additionally, Rolex has also ceased making the Lady-Datejust 26, replacing it with the Lady-Datejust 28. Furthermore, over the course of the last decade, Rolex has also added larger options for the Datejust.Rolex Datejust SizesThe Rolex Datejust has always offered far more metal choices and different style options compared to the Rolex Date. Although there are some vintage and discontinued Date 34 models in solid gold and two-tone steel and gold, Rolex has now simplified the choices to just two: full stainless steel or stainless steel with a white gold fluted bezel, both of which have 34mm cases and are fitted with Oyster bracelets.
The men’s Rolex Submariner was developed in 1953 and made its official debut during Basel Watch Fair the following year. One of the first dive watches to offer a 100-meter depth rating, the Submariner essentially paved the way for the modern dive watch as we know it today. Over the years, the Submariner has seen many notable upgrades, including the addition of a date display in the 1960s, the switch from acrylic to sapphire crystals in the late 1970s, and the change from radioactive tritium to photoluminescent lume in the 1990s. The Submariner was initially only available in stainless steel; a two-tone variant didn’t become available until 1984 via the ref. 16803.That brings us to the two examples that are featured here in today’s comparison video. The Rolex 16613 made its debut in 1988 and was the final aluminum bezel Submariner. The ref. 116613 was introduced in 2009 and features a completely redesigned feature set that swapped the aluminum bezel out for a tougher Cerachrom ceramic insert and features an all-new case and bracelet design. While both references are similar, they each bring a different aesthetic to the table.The Rolex Submariner 16613 was produced for over twenty years. During that time, it became available in many variations, including either a black or blue dial and bezel set, stunning champagne or silver “Serti” dials adorned with gems, lug holes on the case or no holes, and different luminous material on the dial. Two features that remain consistent among the reference variations are the two-tone steel and gold finish of the case and the aluminum insert on the bezel.With the unveiling of the modern 116613 Submariner in Yellow Rolesor (aka two-tone stainless steel and 18k yellow gold) came a newer-style “Super Case” which, despite offering the same 40mm diameter as the ref. 16613, appears slightly larger. The lugs and crown guard are wider, and the bezel received a new mounting design, giving the case a slightly more robust appearance and refined bezel action.
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.
The biggest difference between this 1680 and other Submariners is that its dial has a COMEX printing, so it is a Rolex that has a rich story. The only background history about such Rolex Submariner is it has a tight association with Comex company. In order to develop a model that is more suitable for professional divers, Rolex cooperated with Comex, to ask their workers to wear Rolex Submariner watches when working under water, to distinguish this type of Submariners from other common Submariners, Rolex printed “COMEX” word on the dial. The development of Comex Submariner has made a great contribution to the birth of Rolex Sea-Dweller. This is all things I know about Comex Rolex watch.Now comes to this BP replica Rolex Comex Submariner, black gilt dial has white printings, the white hour markers do not have silver edge, it is SWISS T<25 on the dial at 6. COMEX is black in square white background. The date font is in large size, the font style looks somewhat different from modern Submariner’s. I like the crown design, it does not have that large protecting lugs, so it is very easy to rotate the crown to adjust time and date.Finally, the replica vintage Rolex is equipped with ETA 2836-2 movement, which is considered to be the most reliable movement used in replicas. Actually with the rapid development of replica watch industry, the clone movement is made very close to genuine, but I still recommend you guys to buy this ETA 2836 movement, because it has fewer modification on movement components, the working is more stable. The riveted bracelet now is available, many vintage Rolex fans has requested riveted bracelet from me, now it is in stock.I have never seen this type of Rolex ultil I found it in our replica watch market, its full name should be Project X Stealth. Genuine watch is a custom-made Rolex by a company which I have no idea about. But we have to admit that these Rolex watches made by them are really cool, most of them in full black appearance with nato band. The biggest difference between Stealth Rolex and normal Rolex watches lies in their case and dial design, from the replica watch review in the following article, we will find more things interesting.The case is measured to be 40mm, which is a normal size for Rolex Submariner. But among all Submariner models Rolex has published, I never saw a full black case on Sub, while this replica Rolex Stealth Submariner features an all black pvd case with bezel. I do not way this company painted the case to be black, maybe this more meets the meaning of STEAlTH.
Case is 42mm in diameter, made of 316L stainless steel and has a fine brushing. Bezel and lugs are well connected, whole case profile is 1:1 replicate from original.Arc-shaped sapphire crystal has ar coating, the sapphire has passed hardness test by special instrument, and it is highly scratch resistant. Under sapphire crystal, it is black dial that has several layers to give wearer a great three-dimensional visual effect. The replica has white, black and blue options on dial. Rome hour markers are made of 18K platinum, each is well built. Date is shown through the small window at 6.Bracelet is in high quality, I do not know what type of bracelet it is, but indeed attracts my eyes, I think it looks more beautiful than Rolex Oyster bracelet. Buckle is deployant and has the same construction as genuine.If you are looking for a replica Omega that looks perfect from inner to outside, this is the one. You will never regret, and the watch will match any type of dresses especially good for meeting in business occasions.
