One of the hottest and most sought-after releases in recent years was the reference 116500 Daytona in stainless steel with black Cerachrom bezel. With the exception of its bezel, the new Daytona 116500 was virtually identical to almost any other modern, stainless steel Daytona. However, the aesthetic impact of the black Cerachrom bezel is significant, and the presence of a solid black ring around the face of the watch completely changes the overall appearance of the new ref. 116500 Daytona.Additionally, the new black Cerachrom bezel is more than a little reminiscent of the black acrylic bezels that were fitted to several vintage Daytona chronograph references manufactured during the 1960s and 1970s, such as the reference 6241 and the reference 6263. Although the two materials are significantly different in a multitude of different ways, the black Cerachrom bezel on the new 116500 Daytona is very much the contemporary equivalent of the black acrylic bezel that can be found on a number of highly-desirable, vintage Rolex Daytona references.For the most part, Rolex only moves forward with their designs as they continuously work to refine and improve their watches. However, they have been known to occasionally borrow small design elements from some of their early watches, and implement them into the latest incarnations of their ever-evolving timepieces. Sometimes these design elements get re-imagined or modernized to reflect advancements and improvements in available materials and technologies (like the Cerachrom bezel on the Daytona). Other times, like in the instance of the 24-hour hand on the new Explorer II, these vintage-inspired, design traits get pulled right off a page from a 1970s Rolex catalog and get placed on a watch currently in production.
The movement is an Asia Clone 8906, which is based on a Chinese automatic movement. The movement looks very close to genuine Omega Cal. 8906, see the decoration on rotor and plate, as well as the 1:1 black balance wheel, they are really very similar to the decoration of Omega 8906.Here comes the watch specification of the replica.Movement: Asia Clone 8906 Automatic, Decorated Auto Rotor and Plates to Look Like Genuine Omega 8906 Caliber, with Black Balance Wheel Case: 45.5mm*17mm, Black Ceramic, Correct Lugs Engravings Case Back: See-Through Sapphire with Ceramic Naiad Lock System Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating Dial: Real Black Ceramic, High Gloss Black Dial with Silver Hour Markers and Hands, Swiss Blue Lume and Green Lume on Dial Bracelet: Black Rubber Strap with White Hand Stitching, Black Ceramic Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 50m
But as so often happens, any objections were short-lived. Fairly soon after its arrival, the LV (standing for Lunette Verte, or green bezel) started attracting much more of the right kind of attention, with devotees learning to appreciate the eccentricities. It also had the definite whiff of a future classic, something that set collectors with one eye on future monetary gains to gravitate towards it.As it turned out, they were right. Just seven years after its introduction, the Kermit was withdrawn to make way for the ref. 116610LV. Now housed in the beefed-up Super Case, this new piece added a green dial to match the bezel, leading to it being known colloquially as the Hulk.A short run of an unusual edition of a true industry giant has seen prices for the Kermit far outstrip the equivalent classic black models, and should be set to only get higher with time. Definitely one to consider.This one is a real puzzler. There hasn’t been a black and red bezel GMT-Master (much better known as the ‘Coke’) since 2007. That was when the last reference to offer the option, the ref. 16710, was scrubbed from the lineup. This means that there has never been a Cerachrom example of this archetypal and hugely popular Rolex color scheme, which we originally saw debut on the very first of the GMT-Master II references way back in 1983, the ref. 16760 (nicknamed the ‘Fat Lady’).The red and black had enough of a distinction from the blue and red bezel pieces to warrant its place, and as we all know, the ‘Pepsi’ has been (and still is) a massive seller for the brand.
By the way, the lume is strong blue and the diamonds are not genuine.116613 is one of the best-selling Submariner watches, its popularity is next to the black Submariner 116610LN. 116613 is popular because it is a two tone model, and the watch features a blue bezel and blue dial. Today, the replica Rolex Submariner is made by AR factory, its case and bracelet are made of 904L stainless steel, now on this model, only AR factory uses 904L stainless steel, even Noob has not used. The replica watch was just published by AR factory in last week. Now, let’s take a close look at its photos.The watch has a 40mm case diameter, it is 13mm thick, which is the same as genuine. The case is not only made of 904L stainless steel, but the golden part uses 18K yellow gold, whose layer is measured to be 5 mils, it is so thick, you do not need to worry about the fading of golden layer. The bezel uses real ceramic material in blue color. The golden markers on bezel exactly echoes with the golden case and bracelet. Now, AR factory uses special process to fix the bezel, so it will not fall off easily.Blue dial is the ocean theme representation of the blue Submariner watch. There are golden dial printings and golden edge on hands and hour markers. Swiss lume material is fully filled in round dotted hour markers and hands. The blue lume color of the dial is very close to that of genuine watch. The silver rehaut has correct engravings, at 6 o’clock, there is serial number engraving on the rehaut like genuine.Behind the solid case back, there is a high quality movement inside, it is a super clone 3135. The movement has all necessary engravings on the plate, which looks the same as genuine Rolex 3135. This movement has its own advantages and disadvantages, whatever, if you have ever owned a genuine Submariner watch, you will know its perfect winding feeling, which this fake Submariner will also give to you.The specification of the watch.
