The Rolex Submariner has been a part of the Rolex catalog for well over 60 years. As expected, the famed dive watch has undergone plenty of design and mechanical enhancements over the past six decades, including the all-important timing bezel. Read on to discover all the different types of bezels of the Rolex Submariner.When Rolex debuted the Submariner in 1953, the stainless steel dive watch included a rotating bezel marked to 60 minutes to allow divers to track immersion times. The steel bezel turned both ways for simple timing adjusting, the edge of the bezel was knurled for easy gripping underwater, and the insert was fashioned from black aluminum.The printed 60-minute scale on the earlier versions included markings for every 5 minutes, alternating between batons and numerals. By the late 1950s, Rolex started to include hash marks for the first 15 minutes on the bezel followed by 5-minute markings.Around 1969, Rolex introduced the first yellow gold Submariner, the Submariner Date ref. 1680/8. Accordingly, the knurled rotating bezel was fashioned from 18k yellow gold. What’s more, the Rolex Submariner ref. 1680/8 now offered the choice of either a black or blue aluminum bezel insert and matching dial.
No, I’m not talking about the Submariner and Explorer II’s famously good looks – we’ll get there in a minute. Both timepieces have a pretty long history with Rolex, and over the years, they have been worn and beloved by many famous faces.The Submariner is famous for its James Bond appearances, author Ian Flemming writing, “He could not just wear a watch. It had to be a Rolex.” Over the years, Sean Connery’s 007 wore a Submariner ref. 6538 and Roger Moore sported a ref. 5513. And as one of the most popular Rolex models ever, we often see the Submariner sported today on the wrists of celebrities and dignitaries alike – whether they’re scuba divers or not.The Rolex Explorer II has graced its fair share of celebrities and famous explorers too. Hollywood actor, Jason Statham can frequently be spotted at red carpet events sporting a vintage ref. 1655 – the very first Explorer II reference. Meanwhile, Prince Harry prefers the modern version of the watch, and owns the 42mm Explorer II ref. 216570 with a white “Polar” dial.This is where the differences between the Submariner and the Explorer II become very apparent. First up, the Submariner has a colored unidirectional timing bezel that today is available in black, blue or green. And before Rolex started using modern, scratch-resistant Cerachrom (aka ceramic) bezels on the Submariner in 2007, it featured an aluminum bezel. The bezel is really one of the main selling points of this watch, as its color really adds some great personality to the wrist, and is one of the defining characteristics of the Rolex Submariner collection.The waterproof Oyster case on the Submariner clocks in at 40mm, and along with the bracelet, can be either constructed from Oystersteel (904L stainless steel), solid 18k yellow gold, or Rolesor (two-tone steel and gold). This is another big selling point for a lot of collectors, as the combinations of alloys and bezels really allow for a lot of style and creativity. And before I forget: the Submariner has always featured an Oyster bracelet, but in recent years was updated with the improved Glidelock clasp, which allows for tool-free adjustment for a perfect fit.
If the gold is worn out by accident, you can send it back to me, so I will ask the factory to do a gold plating again for you. The following specification helps you to know the replica watch better.Rolex GMT Master II 126711 Case Back Movement: Asian ETA 2836-2 Automatic, Hours, Minutes, Seconds, GMT and Date Function Case: 40mm*13mm, 18K Rose Gold Plated Bezel: Brown/Black Ceramic Bezel Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown at 6 o’clock Dial: Black with Blue Lume Bracelet: Two Tone 18K Rose Gold Bracelet with Rolesor Flip Lock Clasp Water Resistant: 30m Rolex D-Green Sea-Dweller Replica Watch From Noob – The Green Moster In Deep Sea Rolex Sea-Dweller D-Green Replica Rolex Deepsea D-Blue 116660 is one of the mostly replicated watch in our market. Factories like BP, Noob and J12 make good replicas of D-Blue, and they continuously updated the replica to make it look closest to genuine. On my blog, I introduced replica Rolex D-Blue 116660 James Cameron watch before, it soon caught the attention of a lot watch fans, now this D-Blue replica has been updated to V9 version by Noob, now has become a perfect 1:1 high end replica. So, with the new model published by Rolex in Basel, Noob replicated the Sea-Dweller D-Green out. Like D-Blue, the dial of Sea-Dweller D-Green is gradient green, which changes naturally from green to black. In the following article, I will give a full review of the replica. Rolex Sea-Dweller D-Green Dial First, the case is measured to be 44mm in diameter. It is made of 316L stainless steel, although this is the V1 version of replica Sea-Dweller D-Green, the case is also polished very well like V9 D-Blue. With such a big and strong case design, the watch can withstand a heavy pressure under water. In dark deep sea, wearing such a big watch under green dial, looks like you are a green monster. The black bezel insert is made of ceramic and features engraved diving markers. The bezel is uni-directional rotating.Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller D-Green Watch Dial is unique. The top half is green, while the half part below is black. The color changes naturally. All hour markers and hands are applied white Swiss luminescence, so the dial can offer the diver a strong lume in dark deep sea. The word “SEA-DWELLER” is also in green color. Please check the dial carefully, there is a tiny laser crown logo in the crystal at 6 o’clock. Genuine watch also has this feature. Engravings on the inner bezel are also correct.Rolex D-Green Helium Valve
The replica Rolex Explorer II features a white dial, there is also a black dial version. White and black match really well, like this 216570 replica, on white dial, the hour markers and hands all have black edge, which has a high contrast with the white dial background. The orange GMT hand echoes with the orange printing “EXPLORER II”, looks very obvious and eye-catching. Hour markers and hands are applied super lume material, so the dial will have a strong lume effect in the dark, which is very convenient for you to read the time.For me, who pursue perfection, I focus its texture such as weight more than the details. When I first hold the replica on hand, I feel a little heavy, it gives me a big surprise because a lot of replica watches have a very light weight, but this one is heavy, this absolutely makes me believe that the replica is made of high-level solid steel material, actually it is, the 316L stainless steel is currently the best watch material. With screw-down crown and case back is perfectly sealed, the replica watch is tested to be 50m waterproof by Noob factory workers.Replica Rolex 36mm Datejust 116233 Champagne Gold Watch ReviewI did not give too many reviews on ladies watches, all replicas reviewed here are for men, they look strong and most of them are particularly made for special purpose. Some readers here asked me whether there is good quality replica watches for ladies, maybe they want to buy one for their girlfriend or wife. Actually there are a lot of good ladies watches in our market, such as Cartier, Chopard, etc., Rolex also has their ladies collection, the 36mm and 28mm Datejust or Day Date are all made for ladies. Here I am going to introduce one replica watch, it is a champagne gold Datejust, in 36mm, which is a medium size and will fit the wrist of most women. The two tone is a very popular style, and the diamonds on dial add more luxury feeling to this gold replica.The watch has a steel and champagne gold color, fluted bezel is champagne gold plated, like the three middle links of the bracelet. The dial is the place that perfectly shows the feminity of the Datejust watch, besides its champagne gold color, the diamond hour markers are also the most common decoration which you could find on a lot of ladies watches. The bracelet contains five sections of links, the middle three links are golden, which are in line with the gold tone of bezel and dial. There are two golden versions for this replica, one is gold-plated, the other is 18k wrapped gold version, absolutely the latter is the best, but its price is also very high.Crystal is sapphire, which is highly resistant, the magnifier on the crystal is anti-reflective, through the magnifier, the date is clearly readable – black date font on a white background. The replica is made by BP factory, the 2824 movement inside is an Asian clone one, not genuine, we also call it Sea-Gull 2824, because it is modified from a Sea-Gull automatic movement. Look at the golden crown buckle, it fastens the clasp tightly. Clasp engravings are all correct, they are completed by laser.
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.
