The Oyster case was an innovation of its time when it was developed by Rolex in 1926. It ushered in a brand new era of durable, everyday watches that could be worn during almost any activity without damaging the internal movement. The Submariner takes the design of the Oyster case one step further and increased its waterproofness up to 300 meters/1,000 feet.The ref. 16613 features a standard 40mm case in highly corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel. An 18 karat yellow gold screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel accompany the case, giving it a desirable two-tone design. The dial and bezel set are most commonly available in either black or blue, with some examples of the gem-set “Serti” dial (either champagne or silver in color and set with diamonds and blue sapphires) also available on the secondary market. Depending on the year produced, the ref. 16613 also features either a holes or no holes case and either Tritium or LumiNova used for the luminescence on the dial and hands.Regardless of the year of production, all two-tone Rolex 16613 Submariner watches are powered by Rolex’s trusty Caliber 3135 automatic movement. The 31-jewel movement beats at a rate of 28,800bph and includes a date complication, a 48-hour power reserve, automatic winding technology, and a sophisticated Breguet overcoil balance-spring. The movement has been a fixture in many Rolex wristwatches for more than three decades, and for a good reason. The Cal. 3135 has proven itself to be an accurate and robust movement, which can deliver decades of reliable performance if properly maintained.
As the Rolex Pearlmaster is just as much an item of jewelry as it is a precision timekeeping instrument, every single Rolex watch in the collection is set with some amount of diamonds/gemstones. The degree of gem-setting (and the type/color of the gems themselves) can vary significantly from one Pearlmaster watch to the next. A modest example may “only” have 12 diamonds set into its solid-gold bezel, while the more extravagant and expensive models can have completely diamond-encrusted cases and bracelets, with rainbow-colored sapphire-set bezels, and diamond-paved dials.At its core, the Pearlmaster is essentially an ultra-premium, luxury-oriented Datejust. Like other Datejust watches, the Rolex Pearlmaster is fitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a Cyclops magnification lens and a Twinlock winding crown that uses a system of gaskets to create two sealed zones to protect against moisture intrusion. Consequently, despite its solid 18k gold construction and lavish application of various gemstones, the Rolex Pearlmaster still has a water-resistance rating of 100 meters and is just as functional for everyday use as any other Rolex watch.While it may have identical functionality to the standard Datejust collection, the Pearlmaster is about as far a departure from Rolex’s tool-watch history and aesthetics as you are likely to find in their contemporary catalog. However, as Rolex continues to assume a more luxury-oriented position within the high-end timepiece market, the use of precious metals and gemstones in their watches is becoming an increasingly common practice. The Rolex Pearlmaster has as much to offer in terms of gold-work and gem-setting as it does in the precision timekeeping department, making it the perfect timepiece for those that want a watch that sits at the crossroads of jewelry and horology.
However, it seems like this Super Clone 4130 movement developed by Noob factory has few repairing rate, my clients ordered two Noob Daytona from me in last yesterday, he told me that both watches still work very fine. I think this Super Clone 4130 from Noob is more stable than their 3135 movement.AR factory also makes this green Daytona, but I think some tiny details like dial printings, case engravings and inner bezel engravings are not as good as this one from Noob, however, Noob has a much higher price, which is even $300 USD more expensive. The Daytonas from both Noob and ARF are good, if you have enough budget, then Noob is a better decision.After our holiday, there are exciting news coming from our watch market, the biggest one is that Noob will immediately unveil the V10 edition of Submariner 116610LN and 1166LV, and they will also publish the full golden Daytona and green Daytona at the same time. As Noob’s technology on their 4130 movement becomes more mature, they will install this movement in more Daytona watches, so we will have more choices than before.Besides the release of the green Daytona this time, Noob will bring us a big surprise, that’s the Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV, which will be upgraded to V10. Noob claimed that many improvements were made on V10, but I see the biggest change on the movement, please check the movement photos below, it is 3135, can you tell it is a real or a clone? It is a clone 3135 but I can not see any difference.Among all watch manufacturers, only Noob makes the best clone 3135 movement that looks closest original Rolex 3135. From V6 to V10, Noob has improved a lot, especially on the movement, to guarantee there are no issues. The new 3135 has three big features, better decoration on movement plate,noiseless auto rotor and balance spring.Noob 4130 Daytona Gold Models:Now, these vintage Rolex Submariner watches are very rare in genuine watch market, you can not get any one of them even you have money. So, sometimes a vintage Rolex Submariner is more attractive to a watch collector than a modern Submariner model. The following pictures describe all vintage Submariner models available in our market. Among them, there are Submariners with date, Submariners with no date, some are with stainless steel bracelet, some are with nylon bands in different color, some are with nubuck leather in different color. Among the following vintage Submariner Rolex watches, first, most of them have a case diameter of 38mm, their crystal face is domed plexi plastic, the movement inside is an Asia clone ETA 2836, the bezel can work like genuine Submariner. If you are interested in any one of them, please contact me through email, bs_watches@aol.co.ukAR Factory V2 Edition Replica Rolex Daytona 116508 Yellow Gold Watch with Clone 4130 Movement ARF Replica Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold V2 Now before introducing this replica Rolex Daytona, let us compare Noob Daytona and ARF Daytona. Both Daytona watches are in high quality, they represent the highest watch-making technology in our market. However, they are different from each other. First, now the best replica Rolex from Noob is Daytona with Super Clone 4130, other Rolex watches made by Noob can not compete with AR factory. The only advantage of Noob is their Daytona. Second, AR factory makes the Daytona without full chronograph function, while Noob has the full chronograph, but that does not mean Noob Daytona is better and more stable than ARF Daytona, instead, in movement, I more prefer the 4130 installed in ARF Daytona, it is slimmer and has lower repairing rate. ARF Replica Rolex Daytona 116508Replica Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold AR FactoryReplica Rolex Daytona 116508 Black DialIn finish, ARF perfectly inherits the watch-making technology of its parent company J12.
Today, I will take Submariner 116610LV for an example, and picked up two best replicas to make a comparison review, hope you can learn something that will help you to make decision when need to buy one. About two best replicas of Submariner 116610LV, one is made by Noob, its latest version is V9, the other is made by AR factory, the latest version is V2. In their 116610LV, both Noob and AR can install Asia clone 3135 and Asia clone ETA movement in it, today, I will choose the model with Asia clone ETA movement to make this comparison.I got both watches before, and I think AR makes a better case. When I first got the ARF 116610LV on hand, I loved it, simply speaking, it gives me a genuine feeling. You know, I am not a watch expert and I will not make a very detailed and close comparsion between a replica and genuine, so the first feeling a replica watch gives me is very important. Although both Noob and AR factory make Green Submariner 116610LV with 904L stainless steel, and the case thickness is also the same, which is 13mm, but the case finish of AR is better than Noob, I also feel more comfortable when wearing the ARF 116610LV.The bezel of ARF 116610LV is better. First, both Noob and AR factory use green ceramic insert on the bezel, the green color used by both factory is very close to that of genuine watch. However, the polishing of the bezel is better on AR factory, and there is no gap between the bezel and case, on some V9 models Noob factory published, there is tiny gap existing, hope they can improve this flaw next time. Finally, the luminous coating on bezel markers has a platinum color tone like genuine on both Noob and ARF.Both Noob and ARF have their own advantages on the green dial. The white printings on Noob are more accurate than ARF, after all Noob has upgraded this replica to V9 edition, every time when they upgraded this watch, the dial printings could be improved. About the date window, AR has a more neat date font, when you first see it, you will choose AR, however, if you carefully with genuine, Noob has a correct date font. At last, about the hands, Noob makes them with iron, and the iron sheet is very thin, while AR makes them with stainless steel, so, whether in material or finish, the hands of AR are better than Noob.Both Noob and AR factories make dial lume correct.On the ARF V2 Edition 116610LV, the bracelet finish has been completed to be perfect, it can be even exchanged with genuine watch. Although being made with 904L stainless steel both in Noob and ARF, but Noob can not achieve such a high quality level in bracelet finish. On every piece of 116610LV Submariner AR factory has published, the bracelet fits case perfectly and no gap, but the gap between case and bracelet may exist on some pieces of Noob 116610LV.
The ref. 16710 is outfitted with a standard 40mm Oyster case with water-resistance up to 100 meters and a protective sapphire crystal over the dial. The bezel is equipped with an aluminum insert in either all-black, red and blue, or red and black. Depending on the year of production, the watch is also available on the secondary market with cases that have either lug holes or no lug holes, and the luminous material on the dial will vary, as Rolex made the switch from Tritium to LumiNova during the production of the reference 16710 GMT-Master II.With the release of the ref. 116710 came a brand new case design that includes the upgrade to a triple-sealed Triplock screw-down crown, a new bezel mounting system that operates on 24 clicks instead of 120, a tougher “Cerachrom” bezel insert crafted from a scratchproof ceramic material, and a “Maxi” dial topped with larger hour markers and wider hands. The 40mm case also received a larger crown guard and wider lugs, earning it the nickname the “Super Case” among collections due to its thicker and more aggressive overall appearance.The ref. 16710 is equipped with the self-winding Rolex Caliber 3185 perpetual movement, which includes a Quickset function for easy adjustment of the date mechanism, hacking, an independent 24-hour hand, and a 48-hour power reserve. However, near the very end of production of the ref. 16710, Rolex switched movements, and later-era examples of the reference 16710 were equipped with the Caliber 3186 movement. The Caliber 3186 has the same specifications as the Caliber 3185 but is now equipped with Rolex’s newer paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and a smoother operating jump-hour hand. With that in mind, all reference 116710 GMT-Master II watches run solely on the Caliber 3186.
Made by J12 factory, the case polishing work looks much superior to Daytonas of other factories. Case is 40mm in diameter and 15mm thick, case corners and edge are smoothly polished, so you will get a comfortable wearing feeling from this replica watch. Bezel is in yellow gold tone and fixed, three buttons on the right are also in yellow gold and have the same construction as genuine Rolex Daytona. When not in use, the two chronograph buttons could be locked tightly by screws to make sure the watch is water resistant. If you want to start the chronograph, just loose the screw on button at 2:00 and then push it.White dial has three working subdials, the small dial at 6 o’clock is for small seconds display, the subdial at 3 o’clock is 30-minute chronograph counter and subdial at 9 o’clock is 12-hour chronograph counter. Fortunately, all could work like genuine Rolex Daytona. Secs@6 Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement is very reliable.The bracelet is made of 316L stainless steel and has a thick yellow gold coating on the central links, the yellow gold tone never fade. The last reason why you choose this replica Daytona other than the ones from AR factory is it is sold at a much cheaper price.After releasing Submariner 116610 and 116610LV, Noob just published another important model in this week, it is 116710 BLNR. This Rolex Submariner was selling well and I have given its review on my another blog. 116710 BLNR is a popular GMT Master II watch of Rolex, it is easily identified because of the blue black bezel, some watch fans call it Batman bezel. 116710 BlNR I introduced before was a V7 published by Noob factory, the one I am going to discuss today is the latest V8 by Noob, it is currently the best version that uses top quality watch material and Swiss 3186 automatic movement.
