About this two tone Submariner 116613LN, there are basically four factories that are making it. BP, GM, AR and Noob. Among four of them, BP is the factory makes the cheapest one. GM is a new factory, I do not know their quality. So, the last two factories AR and Noob are worth your consideration. Based on the V1 edition, this time AR factory update the bezel and dial, the thickness of yellow gold coating on case and bracelet is also improved. First, the 18K yellow gold coating, which the factory claims, is updated to be 8 mils thick. Second, the black ceramic bezel insert is also updated, the golden markers on the bezel are improved to have the same engraving depth. Thrid, about dial improvement, the golden edge of hour markers is narrowed, while the central lume part is wider, so there will be more lume coating on each hour marker to guarantee stronger and longer lume light in dark conditions.So, instead of spending $50 USD more on the 116613LN from Noob, it is better to choose this one from AR factory.I love vintage watches very much. Especially Rolex and Panerai are my most favorite.This generation’s Paul Newman Daytonas are currently flying under the radar. Yes, the Rolex GMT-Master II has already doubled in value, and is likely going to appreciate further due to Rolex carefully managing the supply of that model to the ravenous public, but only by 200%, 300%, 500%. Now, that’s not too bad at all, but the really crazy money is likely hiding somewhere in the far corner of the industry and we won’t know what it is until it’s too late to rush out, cash in hand, and “collect” it.So what should we do in the meantime? I told my little friend, desperate to see a return on his money that he should be patient. He should wait to fall in love. He should truly get to know himself before he pulls the trigger. And then, when he’s good and ready, he should buy a Rolex anyway.
Sticking with undersea operations, the Oris ProDiver collection is an interesting one, given that Oris is one of the few watch companies that remains actively engaged in dealings with commercial divers. More specifically, Roman Frischknecht is a commercial diver that has been an Oris ambassador for some time, and rather than simply being an ambassador in name, Roman has played a crucial role in the development of the ProDiver collection ahead of its launch in 2009.It was his insight that led to the creation of the brand’s bezel locking system, known as a Rotation Safety System. Given the level of safety and security protocols involved in his line of work, Roman knew that if he was to be using a conventional dive watch in a modern dive environment, there could be absolutely no room for error, thus a locking mechanism (as seen in other divers like the Omega Ploprof, among others) would be mandatory.Although the roots of the Yacht-Master II relate to activities on the water’s surface rather than deep below, its unique functionality is perfectly suited to this category. After all, the Rolex Yacht-Master II is what is often referred to as yachting timer – a countdown chronograph that can be used to properly measure the start time of a regatta, also known as a sailing race.Arguably the most complex watch in the present Rolex collection, the Yacht-Master II uses an interesting combination of bezel position, crown position, and pusher action in order to set its countdown duration between 1 and 10 minutes, with the chronograph capable of flyback (or fly-forward) functionality to the pre-set time with a single activation of its lower pusher. While many Yacht-Master II wearers are unlikely to ever use this highly specific function for its actual intended purpose. being able to run a countdown like this isn’t shy on practical daily-life applications… grilling timer, anyone?
Before introducing this replica watch, I want to tell you guys a bad news, I think that most of you have heard this in some forums, that is Noob factory has been down for more than twenty days. Some people told me that they are on holiday, but it seems this is not true, the truth is that their workshop was raided months ago. So, if you guys still have orders in Noob factory, you need to wait, they are not able to be back and can not make your watches currently. I also do not know when they will be back.
Many people love watches made of bronze, because these watches offer them more fun in the wearing process. Bronze case will be oxidized, due to the different environment we are living, so the bronze watch will have different oxidized effect, the bronze case will leave your own special trace.Why should you buy this IWC Pilot Spitfire bronze watch from XF factory?The assembly is completed in formal factory by skilled watch masters, the accuracy and stability of every Spitfire bronze watch are guaranteed.Every piece of IWC bronze Spitfire from XF factory is tested by professional instrument, you do not need to worry about its water resistance.Appearance and dust quality check. Watches with any tiny flaws will not be published to the public.The accuracy of every XF IWC Spitfire Bronze watch is tested with swiss standards, which is controled within 15 seconds.XF adopted Sea-gull 2824, which is considered to be the widely used and most stable movement. Among Sea-Gull 2892, 2836, 2824 and Citizen 9015, after a detailed consideration, XF finally decided to use this Sea-Gull 2824 automatic movement. Genuine watch uses IWC In-House 32110 movement, so whether what movement XF used in this watch, the outlook will not be the same as genuine, so they turn to the most stable one. Because Citizen 9015 has a loudly auto rotor when you wearing the watch, so I think Sea-Gull 2824 is most suitable for this watch.
