All good things must come to an end, and it is as true at Rolex as anywhere else. Over the years, certain pieces have disappeared from the portfolio, either replaced with an updated version or else retired completely. Rolex actually seems to make a habit of discontinuing many of their references with little or no warning, and for reasons only they understand. In some instances, the withdrawn watches are real fan favorites, and it leaves potential customers with just one option to get hold of them.Below, we take a look at five of Rolex’s most-loved discontinued models that are now only available on the pre-owned market.Rolex has a history of marking the key birthdays of a number of its icons with some kind of out-of-the-ordinary celebration, and in 2003, the Rolex Submariner celebrated its 50th anniversary. The world’s most famous luxury dive watch marked its half-century in style with the release of the ref. 16610LV, not only the first Submariner to be fitted with a black Maxi dial, but also the first to have a green bezel.Major departure that it was for the model, it became something of an opinion splitter. There had been variations on the traditional black bezeled pieces before – blue versions (although only on gold and two-tone pieces) being the most common; however, the emerald surround on this anniversary edition led to it picking up a nickname from both the ‘for’ and ‘against’ camps. Those who loved the new colorway called it the Kermit; those less keen christened it the Vomit Sub.
Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 126603 ARF Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 43mm With the use of 904L stainless steel material, the replica Rolex industry has a big change. First, the dominance of Noob has been challenged. Because AR is the first factory that used 904L, and they release stocks faster than Noob, so I think AR now is the biggest factory that sells replica Rolex watches, much bigger than Noob and they actually has the biggest replica Rolex market share. Today, the replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 126603 is exactly made by AR factory, it is made with 904L stainless steel and installed with the most stable Asia 2824 automatic movement.Replica Rolex 126603 Black Ceramic BezelReplica Rolex 126630 Two Tone Case Replica Rolex 126603 Black Dial Two tone case is measured to be 43mm in diameter, the case is made of 904L stainless steel like genuine, the position of “HE Valve” button is set right, which is at 9 o’clock on the left case side. The color tone of “He Valve” is also made correct. Look at the finish of the case, it must be the best case finish among all replica watches. The bezel is uni-directional rotating, it has a black ceramic insert with yellow gold engraved markers in correct depth. Replica Rolex 126603 Crown Replica Rolex 126603 He ValveThe dial is black, it is the classic “Single Red” dial that was just unveiled by Rolex in 2019. However, on this two tone Sea-Dweller 126603, the “Single Red” becomes “Single Gold”, the lettering “SEA-DWELLER” on the dial is in yellow gold, which is in line with the yellow gold tone on the case and bracelet. The dial markers and hands are all filled with Swiss Superlume material in the center, the blue lume light emitting from these markers and hands is so strong, so that you can clearly read the time from the dial even in dark places. On the inner bezel ring, AR factory improves the engravings according to the latest rehaut design on new Rolex watch, so whether the case or the dial details, they are all 1:1 cloned from original.By the way, the gold coating on the case and bracelet is up to 5 mils, which is already thick enough, the gold tone will not easily fade. If the gold coating happen to being scratched, you can send the watch back, the factory can recover it for free.V3 Edition Replica Rolex Day-Date 118135/118138/118139 with Clone ETA 2836-2 904L Stainless Steel Case Replica Rolex Day-Date with Black Leather Strap There are nine models published, with different color on dial and leather strap. The latest V3 edition, it has the following improvements. These watches are made by DD factory, to make sure they have the same case size and thickness, the factory uses a clone ETA 2836-2 movement.The connecting part between case and strap has the same construction as genuine.The back side of the leather band has numbers “346763”, which are the same as genuine, the font color and even stitching are the same as original.Sapphire crystal has new anti-fake Crown Logo, it is in the crystal.On the back of four lugs, there are different symbols engravings on white stainless steel, golden and rose gold models.Like genuine, the case side has a certain degree of arc, the case thickness is the same.Day-Date is the best representative of golden Rolex. The earliest Day-Date is President, because golden Rolex Day-Date was the most favorite watch of American Presidents. Six words can describe the features of the watch clearly: waterproof, automatic, day, date, 904L, long stocks.AR factory also makes this watch, I think it is the main competitor of Noob.
Then there’s the much more subdued fixed stainless bezel of the Explorer II which matches the case and features a 24-hour marked scale. This feature was specifically built for explorers who need to distinguish day from night – think cave explorers or polar explorers in the height of summer when the sun never sets.For decades, the durable and waterproof Oyster case on the Explorer II measured 40mm, but upon its redesign for the 40th anniversary of the collection in 2011, it was enlarged to 42mm. However, while Rolex produces a precious metal version of the Submariner, the Explorer II is exclusively offered in 904L stainless steel, and there have never been any solid gold or two-tone models ever produced. The current Explorer II is only offered on a steel Oyster bracelet with a Oysterlock clasp, but to be honest, when it comes to the Explorer II, collectors are much more concerned with what really makes this watch: the face.The dial of the Explorer II is iconic for a few reasons. The most notable being the colored 24-hour hand which circles the face. First there’s the iconic orange 24-hour hand, originally designed to help polar and cave explorers distinguish night from day, that gained its cult-status from the original “Steve McQueen” reference. Rolex eventually brought back the bright orange hand with much fanfare. Then there’s the red 24-hour hand which graced the dial for decades – it’s distinctly different than the orange hand with a skinnier body and smaller luminous triangle at the tip. The dials with a red 24-hour hand are far less punchy than their orange counterparts, but still make the Explorer II standout from the rest of the Rolex lineup.Then there are the dial colors – available in effortlessly-cool black and the coveted ‘polar’ white. The polar dial is totally cool and clean, the white face outfitted with white lume plots and Mercedes hands outlined in black. The black face on the other hand has a totally different appeal. While it boasts the same features, the darker face really highlights the stainless steel bezel, lume hour plots and lume-filled Mercedes hands (this time in white gold rather than finished black). It’s a punchier look, and the colored 24-hour hand – especially the orange one – shines against the black a little brighter.
IWC watch is one of my favorite brands, and Big Pilot is best of the best I think. A man who is wearing a IWC Big Pilot watch is very attractive to me. IWC Big Pilot watch is a great choice for normal business meetings, and also not bad for a date as well. Here comes a new factory released full ceramic replica IWC Big Pilot watch for you. Ceramic has become more and more popular material in the watch market nowadays, and many watch manufacturers release new ceramic designs. Because ceramic is not easy to be scratched and also looks very nice in designs.Have a look at the appearance of this replica IWC watch, the grey dial with white markers on it matching the ceramic case wonderfully. 48mm case with a 15.8mm thickness seems too big, but I think this is one of its specialty. Some of my customers would just love watches with big dial like this. The case is one piece mould and fine engineered balck ceramic brushed finish which is 1:1 compares to the original. The dial is covered by a sapphire crystal with Swiss standard double AR glass, this is really first class material for a replica watch. Move to the back, which is made of solid titanium as per original, with detailed top gun engraving on it. The only thing I don’t like this watch may be its bracelet, which is made of premium black nylon strap with insignia single fold over deployant clasp. The material makes it too casual, but this is just as the genuine way.
Replica Rolex Yacht-Master 116622 in grey looks not as bright as another model with a ocean blue dial, many people would still like it. The sapphire crystal glass matches the stainless steel belt well, and these two materials make it a good one for normal occasions, and of course, wearing suits. What’smore, the luminous dial is classic and useful which follows the Yacht-Master Perpetual Date series.Choosing a Rolex watch won’t be wrong due to its design and function. We can have both of them from a replica Rolex Yacht-Master watch. And the Swiss made 2824 movement completes it a mechanical watch well, as this movement is working stable and well in replicas. Some people don’t like leather belt much because it is easy to spoiled and has to be careful with water, stainless steel won’t bother you much. Replica Yacht-Master 116622 watch is not a very outstanding watch but certainly it will help you build a mature, professional and good-taste impression for others.The exquisite manufacture and super movement enhances Replica Rolex Yacht-Master watch. It is not a surprising one but it won’t never be a wrong one, and the inspiration from the yacht and ocean makes it kind of sporty too. I think this replica Rolex does well represent for this brand’s culture, style and ideology.Another James Bond Watch – Replica Rolex Vintage Submariner 6538.The first James Bond watch I posted here is Omega Spectre 007, which is a great success and brought a lot of orders for me. Actually Seamaster Spectre 007 is also one of the best sellers of Omega within these 10 years. Not only because of its vintage military appearance, but the watch comes with both nato strap and steel bracelet. Here I am going to introduce another James Bond watch, it is a Rolex Submariner, Reference 6538, yes, the watch is a vintage Submariner and many James Bond fans said it is the first watch worn by him. So, one question appears, about Omega and Rolex Submariner, which one is the authentic watch first worn by James Bond in the 007 movie, this has raised a hot discussion, but I think Rolex Submariner is the first James Bond watch.The vintage Submariner 6538 has several differences with modern Submariner. First, size. The replica 6538 is only 38mm in case diameter, the case is fully brushed, including both case sides, which are usually mirror polished on modern Submariner. Black bezel insert has all white markers printed, the bezel pearl has a silver round edge that wraps around it. The crown is the biggest place to tell this vintage Submariner from others.
Second, the shape of the hands, especially the propeller-shaped end of the central second-chronograph hand is made correct.The final thing you concern about is if the replica watch has a full chronograph function. I must say yes. The watch is equipped with the most widely used Asia Valjoux 7750 movement, you can operate the chronograph buttons like you do on a genuine. Thanks to the solid case, Z factory did not make too much modification on the movement, so it could maintain a high stability of the original movement.It is a new arrival, but Z factory did not raise its price, it is sold at much cheaper than other Spitfire watches, so I recommend it if you are a pilot watch fan of IWC.
