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.
It is so attractive when a wrist watch adds blue color as one of its design elements. Even decorate in normal design, the style of watch with blue color will be more intriguing. Now I will introduce one kind of watch to you, it is the replica IWC Jaques Yves Cousteau, which with excellent performance and brilliant blue dial. It is almost clone the original perfectly, no matter its appearance or capability.When we talk about this replica, let’s know something about its origin of name. It is in memory of a famous explorer, Jacques-Yves Cousteau. This meaningful exploration has a deep connection with the film “The Dragons of Galapagos”. After you have known about its history, I think you may be interested in this replica, next I will introduce its unique characteristic. I’m sure that you may have not any resistance for its charming glamours.
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.
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:
The replica is made of 316L stainless steel that is imported from Germany. The case is 36mm in diameter, such size of watch is very suitable for men and ladies who own small wrist. Not like other Tudor Black Bay that features a green, red or a bi-color bezel, this Tudor replica watch has a pure stainless steel bezel that is smoothly polished, the lugs have a brushed surface with polished edge and side. The whole case is not only 1:1 replicated from original, it also has a perfect finish, so that you will get a very comfortalbe wearing.The dial is black, but it also has blue option. Silver snowflake second hand is a classic feature of Tudor. Hour markers and hands have silver edge and are filled with Swiss A grade Super-LumiNova C1. The dial looks very simple and it does not have a date window, means the watch does not have a date function. Well, the watch already has hours, minutes and hands, these functions are very enough for me, about the date, it is not necessary for me, and for a replica, the movement will be more stable and durable if it does not have a date function.Besides its super dial lume, just seeing from its case and bezel design, the replica Tudor watch does not have any sports features, if somebody is willing to buy it, I think he just wants to use it as a dress watch, however, the tan color leather band adds some sporty style for the watch, it looks like Panerai’s ASSO leather band. The back side of the band, I mean the side that contacts your wrist skin, is made of calf skin leather that feels very soft. It is exactly this grey leather band that increases the sporty temperament of the replica watch.It is a long time to wait for this replica Rolex Daytona to arrive, but fortunately I was very surprised by its super quality and finish.
Two replica IWC watches are from Z factory, we call it ZF. Both watches have real power reserve and equipped with a clone IWC 52110 movement. The Titanium Big Pilot has a reference number IW510301, while the Bronzo Big Pilot has a reference number IW501005.The following are specification of two watches.First, Big Pilot Titanium. Movement: Clone IWC 52110, Based on an Asia 23 Jeweled Automatic Movement Case: 46mm*15.5mm, Solid Titanium Case with Satin Finish Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating Dial: Black with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands, Working Power Reserve Indicator at 3 o’clock Bracelet: Brown Riveted Leather Strap with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 30m Second, the Big Pilot Bronzo.Movement: Clone IWC 52110, Based on an Asia 23 Jeweled Automatic Movement Case: 46mm*15.5mm, Solid Bronze Case Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating Dial: Brown Dial with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands, Working Power Reserve Indicator at 3 o’clock Bracelet: Brown Riveted Leather Strap with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 30m Both Big Pilot watches have a super quality, because they are from Z factory. Every detail is replicated so well, especially the delicated satin finish on the case, and the micro-sanded dial detail, they all represent the top-level manufacturing process in our watch market. However, although the power reserve indicator is working, it can not reach 7 days, you need to wind them every day to gain enough power.
Another tip I picked up was to photograph each of my watches next to my driving license as further proof that these watches have been in your possession. With a good and honest insurer, it shouldn’t be necessary; but when dealing with a significant level of equity, it is worth taking the time to be thorough. The fewer questions you’re forced to endure following a traumatic event like a robbery or fire, the better it is for you.Before you can figure out exactly what this amount will do to your insurance, you need to identify any pieces that must be separately declared (if it is a requirement of that territory). For example, in the UK, anything below £2,000 need not be individually named on a policy, and can either be paid out as part of your general contents insurance (last resort) or as a part of a declared (although not individually) holding of “luxury items”, such as watches and jewelry. Each declarable item will increase your premium, but it is worth being sure those high-value pieces like your Rolex are covered.But what if you have a large collection of watches that individually retail for less than £2,000? For collections like these, the best thing to do is to make it clear to your insurance provider that you have a large (larger than average) parcel of possessions that fall under the luxury goods category (if you don’t make this clear before a claim, eyebrows may be raised). The total value of your collection will then be assessed on top of your regular contents insurance (for things like furniture, appliances, clothing, and books and so forth). If, say, your collection of undeclared luxury goods is of significant value, you will notice a sharp spike in your premium.I have heard of people off-setting this premium by reducing their standard contents insurance. While this can reduce your (suddenly eye-watering) premium, it is a very risky business indeed, as an insurer may take a dim view on you being deliberately under-insured for items within your property. And so the solution? Consider carefully the insurance implications of your next luxury watch purchase. Treat the cost of insuring a luxury watch as a mandatory expense – more so than even having it serviced as regularly as advised. Build it into your budget.Even if you only have one, exceptionally valuable watch, which you plan on wearing 24/7 and thus imagine will never be stolen from your home, accidents do happen. This isn’t intended to be pessimistic, just sensible. And with the peace of mind that the correct cover can provide, your enjoyment of your collection can only increase.
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.
