Compared with other common IWC Mark series models, this Mark XVIII titanium watch is very outstanding. Grey Titanium case, track-style minutes markers, brown dial and brown leather straps, these elements make the watch full of vintage flavor. The replica is a really a big surprise from GS factory.IWC Portuguese is a very famous watch and it is one of the best-selling dress watches in the world. In our watch market, there are three factories at least that are manufacturing IWC Portuguese watches, ZF, YL and 3A. Among them, ZF is the biggest and most famous one. Actually ZF makes the best quality replica IWC Portuguese watch, they are also the first factory that started to clone genuine IWC Caliber. Like this replica, ZF equipped a clone 79350 movement inside, this is a great improvement, because it is the first time for a factory to use a cloned IWC Caliber in a IWC Portuguese chrono replica watch, we only saw factories used such type of movements in IWC non-chrono Portuguese. The replica is a V2 edition, the V1 uses an Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, now the V2 uses a new clone 79350 like genuine IWC Caliber. This is the biggest difference, while there are certainly other improvement made on this latest version, let’s check it carefully in the following article.
Before going into a further discussion of the replica, let’s check its specification first.Movement: Super Copy 3186 Automatic, Decorated Movement Plates and Rotor, Correct Hand StackCase: 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Blue/Black Ceramic with Silver Markers Crystal: Scratch-proof Sapphire Crystal with Laser Tiny Crown Logo at 6 o’clock Dial: Black with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: 904L Stainless Steel Bracelet with Rolesor Clasp Water Resistant: 50m Like the two Submariner watches Noob just published in 2018, the case of 116710 BLNR replica is also made of 904L stainless steel. The upgrade of case and bracelet material makes the replica watch have the same weight as genuine. Case is 40mm in diameter and 13mm in thickness. With a smooth polishing on the edge, the case does not feel scratch when wearing on hand. Smooth streamlined case design makes the watch fit your wrist better. Bezel is the place that has the greatest improvement. Compared with previous V7, the bi-colored bezel of V8 has a more natural color transmission from blue to black. GMT markers on the bezel are engraved correctly.On black dial, there is an extra blue hand with a big arrow indicating GMT time. Hour markers have silver edge and are filled with white lume material like hands. If you concern the hand stack, then this V8 replica GMT Master II 116710 BLNR has a correct hand stack. From top to bottom, the hands are second hand, minute hand, blue GMT hand and hour hand, while other factories and previous version of Noob 116710 BLNR usually set the GMT hand at the bottom.At last, the replica is equipped with a Swiss 3186 automatic movement, we also call it Super Copy 3186. It is not an Asian clone 3186 on basis of a Chinese movement, this Super Copy 3186 runs more accurate and stable than any other 3186 movements developed before. Now, the factory will send one pair of blue rubber straps for free if you order this GMT Master Rolex watch.I want to introduce more Rolex watches here because a few factories produced some innovative replica Rolex watches with 904L stainless steel and better clone movement. Now it is not surprising most Submariner replicas are equippeed with Super Copy 3135 movement, since the end of 2017, some factories even used clone 3235 in Datejust models.
Lastly, both the 16613 and the 116613 are fitted with stainless steel and 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelets. Depending on the year released, the ref. 16613 has either solid or hollow end-links, either a stamped or link-style fold-out extension system, and either a gold-through or an all-steel clasp. Collectors have different preferences on 16613 bracelet styles, making it a fun watch to collect.The ref. 116613 offers a more substantial hold on the wrist than its 5-digit predecessor and features solid gold center links, solid end-links, and a machined Oysterlock clasp with an innovative Glidelock extension system. The solid construction of the bracelet balances the Super Case nicely on the wrist for a supremely comfortable hold, even over wetsuits.While the ref. 116613 is noticeably more modern in appearance, it still boasts many similarities to the ref. 16613 in the form of a versatile two-tone finish, similar dial and bezel color options, the same water-resistance of up to 1,000 feet (300 meters), and an Oyster bracelet that wears comfortably and allows for tool-free adjustment over wetsuits. When collecting, it ultimately comes down to preference; do you prefer a classic or a contemporary dive watch?The Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea is the most robust and over-engineered dive watch in Rolex’s current lineup. While the regular Sea-Dweller is water-resistant to an insane depth of 4,000 feet, the Deepsea has an absolutely abyssal depth rating of 12,800 feet, which is more than 100 times further below the surface of the ocean than any human could physically survive.Although the case of the standard Rolex Sea-Dweller is not all that different from that of a Submariner, the Deepsea has a re-designed case architecture that allows it to stand up to the crushing pressures found at 12,800 feet below sea-level. As a result of its more rugged and highly specialized build, the Deepsea is among the largest Rolex watches currently in production, with a case diameter of 44mm, and an overall thickness of just under 18mm.
Titanium is the material of choice for the inner caseback on the Deepsea due to its strong corrosion-resistant properties and its ability to repeatedly flex under stress without developing the same degree of metal fatigue as steel. Since the crystal on the Deepsea will be subjected to the same extreme pressures as the caseback, its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal has been beefed up to be a massive 5.5mm thick, and it is crafted in a domed shape (without a Cyclops magnification lens) to better distribute the pressures being exerted on the face of the watch.Like both the Submariner and the normal Sea-Dweller, the Deepsea is equipped with Rolex’s Triplock winding crown that screws down and uses a system of gaskets to create three sealed zones to protect against moisture intrusion. Additionally, since the Deepsea is a variation of Rolex’s Sea-Dweller collection, its case is equipped with a helium gas escape valve, which allows the watch to safely be used for saturation diving applications.One of the hallmark characteristics of modern dive watches is the degree of the over-engineering present in their designs and the almost-ludicrously excessive performance-statistics that manufacturers are able to achieve. Although the Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller is easily the most capable and robust dive watch available in Rolex’s current catalog, only a very slim percentage of its owners will ever require even a small fraction of its incredible underwater functionality. Regardless, the Ringlock system and the case of the Deepsea are the perfect embodiment of form following function, as the watch was specifically designed from the ground-up to be the ultimate deep-sea diving timepiece.
