The first ceramic bezel Submariner appeared in 2009 with the introduction of the steel and gold Rolex reference 116613. A stunning blend of classic and modern dive watch design, the ref. 116613 has since become a highly sought-after dive watch, both at retail and on the pre-owned Rolex market. Other metal variations of the ceramic (aka “Cerachrom”) bezel Submariner would later follow. However, none is as intriguing as the Rolex Submariner two-tone example.The Rolex Submariner was introduced to the market in the early 1950s and was the first timepiece in the brand’s catalog to offer water resistance up to 100 meters. This depth rating would eventually be increased to up to 300 meters, where it remains for the modern versions of the Submariner that are sold today. Other notable upgrades made to the line over the past six decades include improved materials (904L Oystersteel), longer-lasting lume (Chromalight), higher-beat Caliebr 3135 perpetual movements, tougher scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, and unidirectional rotating timing bezels.The Submariner was first offered in stainless steel, then in yellow gold. The first two-tone Submariner wasn’t released until 1984, with the reference 16803. This take on Rolex’s famous professional diver introduced the line to a brand new level of collectors who sought a gold Rolex but didn’t have the budget for an all-gold timepiece. Fast forward to 2009 with the release of this article’s featured ref. 116613, a completely redesigned dive watch with an upgraded bracelet and case, a redesigned bezel fitted with a ceramic insert, and a larger display on the dial.The Rolex Submariner is a dive watch legend. From its many appearances in the James Bond franchise to gracing the wrists of numerous A-list celebrities, the Submariner has become one of the most recognizable and coveted luxury watches in the world. The line is varied and offers options in either an all Oystersteel (904L stainless steel), Rolesor (two-tone steel and gold), or solid 18k gold. Today, we will compare two of the most iconic two-tone Rolex Submariner references – the Rolex 16613 and Rolex 116613.
There is one thing I must explain, that is, many people are obsessed with those replicas manufactured by big factories like Noob, BP, J12 and others, but this does not mean that they are the best. Sometimes a cheap quartz watch will run longer than a Noob Submariner at several hundreds of dollars, every one is looking to get the best one, but you just need to find the one that perfectly fits your style.Rolex Crown Buckle Rolex Clasp Here comes the two tone GMT Master 2 replica. Genuine watch was published in 2008 BaselWorld, in that year, Rolex released a lot legendary models. In nowadays market, replica watches are usually improved from two aspects, one is lume, the other is font.

The IWC Portuguese Annual Calendar replica is equipped with an Asia IWC 52850 automatic movement, ZF disassembled all 326 components of original movement, after lots of trials of data analysis, the clone movement looks 90% the same as original 52850, besides, its adjusting method and winding feel are 100% the same as original. Because this IWC Portuguese watch has a see-through case back, so on the replica movement, ZF factory needs to work hard on the movement decoration.

Pilot is a popular series of IWC, and Pilot’s watch is loved by a lot of Swiss watch fans. IWC Pilot’s watch is divided into several branches, they are Mark series, Pilot, Spitfire and Big Pilot. Among them, Mark series and Big Pilot are most popular, while the Spitfire and Pilot chrono are also highly welcomed. I read some history of IWC before, it said that the design of Pilot’s watch got inspiration from the fighter in the Second World War. So I know why there is an airplane sculpture on the case back of some IWC Pilot’s watch, especially on the Spitfire. Today, the IWC Pilot watch I am going to introduce is a limited edition model, it says “150 Years” on case back, does this mean that this model is produced to commemorate the 150th anniversary of IWC Pilot’s Watch? Anyone who knows can tell me about this. The reference number is IW377725, it is limited 1000 pieces in quantity, while you can get this replica watch at any time, its stocks will last for a long time, Z factory offers us a big inventory. Yes, the replica IWC Pilot watch I am going to talk in the following article is made by Z factory, which also named ZF, some website wrote its name “ZF factory”, whatever, they are all correct names. If have ever read my articles, you will know ZF makes the best replicas of IWC, Tudor and some Panerai watches. Now, this Pilot Chrono 377725 is the latest addition to their big IWC replicas family.
First of all, the case size is 40.9*12.3mm which is almost as the same the per original, not only because it is made out from a 1:1 case but also because the team conquer so many difficulties to develop a replica A79350 movement. Some editions are not able to do the same size case as original edition is because it is limited by the movement inside of it, some factories are not able to copy the original movement. Then let’s move to the dial, the craftsmanship and fine details are just the same as original. IWC’s logo is very clear, and the character size is the same as original, there is no difference by looking at it. The outside markers for chronograph second function is also copied greatly. The blue long needle is for showing chronograph second, and sub-dial at 12:00 position shows chronograph minute. Sub-dial at 6:00 position together with two hands in the middle to show the time. Time Markers are numeral. Look into carefully, even the axis to hold those three hands are done as well as per original, perfectly in details! Both V6 edition and original’s front glass are made of sapphire crystal, this is a easy job for ZF to follow. Look at the case side, no matter the polish or matt work, they are exactly the same as the genuine. On the crown and the buttons for adjust functions, they are looking the same in shape and engraving logo on it, but V6 edition’s is painted with blue coating which is for protecting them from the scratch. For the strap, the original one is using crocodile leather, V6 edition’s standard strap is real cow leather but Z factory also offer crocodile leather with extra pay.
However, these two differences are not important, because we are buying one replica watch that look very close to genuine in appearance. In overall finish, the watch is an 1:1 original Swiss replica. The 007 Commander adopts fresh and bright color design. Red, white and blue paid a tribute to the British Royal Navy, which adds solemnity to this watch.41mm stainless steel case, white ceramic dial, blue hour and minute hands in skeleton, red second hand with “007” logo.Like genuine watch, the replica use anti-reflective coating on sapphire crystal, so the crystal has a high transparency and the dial is extremely readable.About the dial lume, UR factory imported Japanese non-radioactive luminous material, when being applied on hour markers and hands, the brightness and color are very close to genuine watch. A lot of replicas in our market use cheap luminous material, you can see their lume light is not correct.New case back design is different from previous Seamaster 300M diver’s watches. The case back rim has “Commander’s Watch” engravings. Wave-shaped edge is more convenient for you to open and screw the case back.Besides the military nato strap, UR factory also offers one stainless steel bracelet for free. Simply speaking, this is a replica watch with impressive color design, if you are young and full of passion, you should try it.

For example, Noob published Super Clone 4130 Daytona V3 edition and GMT-Master II 126710 Blue/Red, OM factory unveiled a lot of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches, VS factory made some stunning Omega Seamaster watches, etc. Among these new watches, the most attractive should belong to the GMT-Master II made by Noob factory.At the beginning of 2019, Noob only published one Rolex GMT-Master II, that is Blue/Black 116710BLNR, that is the only one GMT-Master II from Noob made with 904L stainless steel.

But if we look at the Submariner, you’ll notice it always has a dark face. The most common is the black dial, but the blue and green dial Submariners are incredibly popular as well. What defines the face are those beautiful rounded, lume hour plots which pop against the dark colors of the dial. To break it up, you’ll also find an inverse triangle up at 12-o’clock and down at the 6 and 9 o’clock locations, there are rectangular lume plots.Of course, over at three there is the date window under a sapphire crystal cyclops lens. And swinging around the dial are those world-famous Mercedes hands which are also outfitted with easy-to-read lume. The dial of the Submariner is quite simple yet stylish and versatile, which is what draws a lot of people to this iconic model.
