However, the dials of the gold Sub were not the standard black dials of their stainless steel counterparts.A few years later, around 1971, Rolex offered another colorway of the yellow gold Submariner featuring a bright blue bezel and dial. The yellow gold Submariners in blue also has the same “nipple dial” design. Particularly intriguing with the blue gold Submariner 1680/8 models is how the dials have transformed into different colors over time including lighter blues, vibrant purples, and rich reddish brown (also known as “tropical dials” in vintage Rolex terminology). Comparing the Rolex Submariner to the GMT-Master II.Two watches, perhaps the two most well-known in Rolex’s sports watch lineup, have amazing similarities, and one can be forgiven for confusing them at a distance. These two watches are, of course, the Submariner dive watch (ref. 116610) and the GMT-Master II (we’ll call it the GMT for short, but we’re talking about the current ref. 116710).The Submariner GMT Master Comparison .The individual histories of the Submariner and the GMT are well documented elsewhere, so let’s compare and contrast the two current models.First, the similarities. The Submariner and the GMT-Master II are luxury watches. Both watches are currently housed in the 40mm diameter so-called “super case” with a ceramic or Cerachrom bezel insert. This case, done in 904L stainless steel, debuted in 2007 with the GMT (the Submariner received the new case a year later). There are minute differences in the two cases, but you need to set them side by side and look very closely to see them.Both watches buckle to your wrist with the current Oyster bracelet.
Rolex is a true pioneer in watchmaking technology. Among their most significant inventions is the Submariner, which was the first watch ever to offer water-resistance of up to 100 meters. The now-iconic Rolex Two-Tone Submariner was the inspiration behind the flourishing dive watch market as we know it, and almost every dive watch in existence today was in some way influenced by the Rolex Submariner. While it was developed for use while underwater, the Submariner has since become a coveted timepiece among collectors of all professions. The line is varied and offers a feature set to suit almost any wrist. However, today we will take a closer look at an earlier model of their Rolesor two-tone steel and gold Submariner ( Rolex Submariner two-tone ). The Rolex 16613 Two-Tone Submariner.The Rolex Submariner was developed in 1953 and made its official debut a year later at Basel Watch Fair 1954. As previously mentioned, the collection was the first to offer resistance to depths of up to 100 meters, which would then evolve into 200 meters, before increasing once again to its current and impressive 300-meter depth rating. In true Rolex fashion, the Submariner was carefully refined over the years to include a safer unidirectional bezel, improved materials, and a higher-beat movement.The original model was presented in stainless steel with an all-gold variation following in the late 1960s and a two-tone option coming to market in 1984 via the ref. 16803. The ref. 16613 was released a few years later in 1988 and enjoyed a long production run before being discontinued and replaced in 2009 with the current Cerachrom ceramic bezel 6-digit ref. 116613, marking the end of the aluminum bezel Rolex Submariner two-tone watches.
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.
Rolex has been manufacturing watches with 34mm case diameters for the majority of their long and distinguished history; however, these “mid-size” models such as the Date and Air-King often get overlooked due to the multitude of options that exist in the more standard, 36mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual case size. However, Rolex has manufactured a number of excellent watches – both vintage and contemporary – that have 34mm case diameters, and their highly versatile size allows them to look at-home on wrists of virtually any gender or measurement.Although the Datejust collection has historically had a case diameter of 36mm for the standard full-size model, Rolex also manufactures a line of watches called the Date that offers many of the same design traits and features of the Datejust – even the same movement too – only in a slightly smaller overall package.One of the most “quintessentially Rolex” watches currently in production with a 34mm case diameter is the reference 115234 Date. With a Cyclops magnification lens, stainless steel Oyster bracelet, and 18k white gold fluted bezel, the reference 115234 Date checks all the same design boxes as the Datejust, just with a slightly reduced size. Additionally, since the 34mm Date and the 36mm Datejust share the same movement, the reference 115234 is in no way a “lesser” watch compared to the Datejust, just one that is 2mm smaller.Since consumer trends favored smaller wristwatches in past decades, a number of great vintage Rolex references exist with 34mm case diameters. One of the longest-running Rolex models of all time is the reference 5500 Air-King, which boasts a super clean and minimal dial design that perfectly complements its slightly reduced case size.The reference 5500 remained in production for thirty-seven years, during which time it was fitted with both Rolex’s Caliber 1520 and Caliber 1530 movements – neither of which were chronometer-certified. Due to their long production run, reference 5500 Air-King watches were manufactured in relatively large numbers and can still be purchased for very reasonable prices. Fitted with one of the cleanest and least text-heavy dials found inside any Rolex watch, the Air-King 5500 pre-dates the widespread implementation of chronometer-certified movements and represents one of the best entry points into vintage Rolex collecting.Although the Day-Date President is the classic all-gold Rolex watch, it has never been manufactured in a size smaller than 36mm. However, throughout its history, Rolex has produced a number of all-gold watches within their Date collection that have 34mm case diameters, and lack the additional complication for displaying the day of the week that is found on the flagship Day-Date line of watches.One of the more modern incarnations of the all-gold 34mm Date is the reference 15238, which stands out due to a number of characteristics that help separate it from previous iterations of Rolex’s all-gold 34mm Date watch. While earlier examples were made from 14k gold, there reference 15238 is craft from 18k – the same as what Rolex uses to manufacture their flagship Day-Date President watch. Additionally, the Date 15238 is fitted with Rolex’s Caliber 3135 movement and a synthetic sapphire crystal, which give it all the ingredients necessary to be a fairly modern watch.
I have reviewed several Omega watches on my blog, they are all Planet Ocean models, which are the latest modern Omega Seamaster collection. If you are looking for something that is in the blood of Omega Seamaster, then this one is. The watch here is an Omega that has inherited the most authentic features of Seamaster 300 series, but its design also meets the aesthetic view of modern people. The watch being reviewed is an ultimate replica, I do not know which exact factory it is from, but its quality and replicating level are very high, which could be even compared with Blancpain Fifty Fathoms from Noob factory. The replica Omega is in black, there is also a blue version.It is the best 41mm Omega replica watch I have ever seen. 316L stainless steel case has polished lugs on front, the sides are brushed. The wave-shaped bezel is different from Rolex Submariner’s small clicks. The bezel is rotatable and has white deep engravings on the ceramic insert. Please check the pearl on the bezel, it is also different from Submariner’s, the latter looks more raised and round. Seeing from the side, the case is cut very well and has beautiful arc lines. The crown, which is protected by two steel guards, seems to be better integrated into the case. On the other side of the case, there is another crown at 10 o’clock, it is for Helium valve release.
Let’s come to have a look at the function next. This replica IWC Top Gun is operated by a decorated Asian automatic movement, 25J, 21600bph. Functions is including date indicator at 6:00 position and no recess date. IWC Big Pilot has become a very classical and unique watch accessory for man. This 1:1 full ceramic replication can be a new toy option for you.Military watches are always welcomed in watch market, especially the Pilot watch from IWC. This Top Gun Miramar belongs to IWC Pilot series, it is the latest model of Mark XVIII that was published in 2016 SIHH. The watch inherits the original features of previous Top Gun Miramar – highly readable dial design and nylon strap. Genuine watch is equipped with a better movement that has a reinforced power reserve. Now, the replica here will be discussed is just made according to a genuine Mark XVII watch by MK factory.

In recent days, AR factory published a lot of Rolex Daytona replica watches that are made of genuine 904L stainless steel, these Daytona replica watches are best of the best in our market, however, these Daytonas have one fatal flaw, that is the non-working minute and hour chronograph. So, although ARF Daytona replica watches are made of the best material, they are still not perfect for watch fans who require full functional chronograph. Today, the Daytona replica watch that is going to be discussed in this article is an old model published last year, by J12 factory. Although the watch is made with 316L stainless steel and equipped with an Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, it works accurate, you know, high stability is very important for a chronograph watch. Nowadays, replica watches from big factories like Noob, J12, BP and ZF could be made 99% the same as genuines in outlook, only the movement is the biggest flaw, so to make the fake movement look closer to genuine caliber, these factories are spending a lot of time and effort in modifying the basic movement to make it look real, everyone knows too much modification on movement will affect its stability, so, in my opinion, these new Super Copy 3135 used on Submariner and clone 4130 on latest ARF Daytona are not as good as you think. However, this yellow gold Daytona uses the old Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, whose accuracy and stability have been tested for years by a lot of chronograph replica watches, so, this Daytona I am about to post is very rare and really good, you will never regret after purchase.
In a word, this replica 116610 has the most accurate dial details. V8 Rolex Submariner 116610 904L Case Last thing is the movement inside, the Rolex Submariner 116610 replica is equipped with a Super Copy Cal.3135, actually this movement has been used in replica watches since 2012. Now, it has been modified several times, updated to have blue steel spring, timing is more accurate, all components of the movement could be interchanged with original Calibre 3135. Auto rotor and movement bridges are also engraved with original Geneva Stripes. After being modified each time, the stability and durability of Super Copy Cal.3135 will be improved greatly. Yes, this replica Rolex just gathers all advantages, the price is also a little expensive, if you are interested in buying one, just leave a comment here and I will contact you through EMAIL.
