Talking about watches and inspiration can spawn some pretty interesting debates, and for good reason – especially in the dive watch category. Of course, early dive watches weren’t “inspired by” anything; dive watches were tools created with a very distinct purpose. That said, as the years went on and the dive watch category moved away from practical utility towards desirable daily-wearers, design inspiration soon came into play. Today we’re looking at luxury watches inspired by the ocean, and digging into the stories behind the creation of each piece and how they relate to the big blue beyond.As mentioned above, there is no reason to go into a Rolex Submariner history lesson here; however, the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea with D-Blue dial (a variant of the original Deepsea that was first unveiled in 2008) has a very distinct connection to our world’s deepest waters.The origins of this piece come from Rolex’s involvement in (read: sponsorship of) James Cameron’s deep dive into the Mariana Trench. Though not limited in production, the piece is commemorative of the 2012 dive, and features a gradient blue to black dial that mimics the loss of light as one descends into the ocean’s depths. Additionally, the green chosen for the DEEPSEA text on its dial is matched to the color of Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger Submarine that took a prototype Rolex watch all the way down into the trench affixed to one of its robotic arms.The legacy of Jacques-Yves Cousteau is unparalleled in the world of underwater exploration, and many years ago (back in 2004 to be precise), IWC decided to become a partner of the Cousteau Society – a non-profit organization looking to continue the initiatives set out by Jacques-Yves several decades prior. From the onset of the partnership, IWC has included special limited-edition Aquatimer models in their collections, with a portion of the proceeds of each watch headed towards the organization.Of their bigger undertakings, Cousteau’s famed research vessel (named ‘Calypso’) was raised from the sea floor after sinking on account of an incident in Singapore in 1996. Progress on Calypso has been slow-going, and a fire on the ship while docked in Turkey two years ago has slowed things further. Naturally, there are rumors swirling that a redesign of the IWC Aquatimer line across the board will appear in conjunction with the vessel’s unveiling.
In July, one of my clients sent one watch back to Noob for repairing, he waited almost one and half month for the factory to fix it, I must say that the repairing of Noob is too slow.Both factories have their own advantages, but for beginners, I recommend ARF 116610LV more, because the first feeling it gives to you is more real, the quality and texture of the watch is super. I did not say bad things about Noob, they are a big factory, I have to admit, but if they can not do a better customers service and quality check, I think they will be very difficult to keep the pace with AR factory.AR Submariner 116610LV photos below:This watch is the V2 version of two tone Submariner 116613LN replica from AR factory, it is also the best version currently. Some people will ask, what about if being compared with the one from Noob? Actually I do not know, I have not held two watches in hand and compared them. Maybe in subtle details, Noob makes better, but the replica from AR factory also has their advantages. For example, it is the factory that used 904L stainless steel material on their replica Rolex watches, second, the finish on case and bracelet is much better. Third, AR factory installed an Asia ETA 2824 movement in this replica, compared with the Asia 3135 movement in Noob version, Asia 2824 is more stable and reliable. Fourth, the price is cheaper.
The movement used by the replica Rolex Sea-Dweller D-Green is an Asian ETA 2836, which is 25 jeweled and beats 28800 times per hour. You may ask why the factory did not use a 3135. Actually compared with 3135, the Asian ETA 2836 is more reliable. Although 3135 is super cloned, it has a high repairing rate. I prefer the replicas with a ETA 2836 movement.The Best Replica Rolex Daytona Ice Blue Watch with Ceramic BezelNoob Replica Rolex Daytona Ice Blue A few weeks ago, AR factory published some Daytona replica watches with Super Asian 4130 movement, these Daytona watches have a super quality but still have a big flaw, that’s the false chronograph. Just last week, another famous factory named Noob also unveiled a series of replica Daytona watches with 4130 movement, but their 4130 Daytona replica watches have fully functional chronograph, like this ice blue Daytona I am about to review today. It is currently the best Daytona replica although not made with 904L, maybe Noob will use 904L steel to make these 4130 Daytona next time, after all they have used this superior material on their Submariner models like 116610LN and 116610LV. Like real watch, the replica Rolex Daytona features the same ice blue dial, brown ceramic bezel and full chronograph function, however, the price is a little higher than Daytona watches from other factories. In my opinion, if you are seeking for a perfect Daytona without defect, and do not mind the price, then this replica will be your best choice.Noob Replica Rolex Ice Blue Dial The Daytona is the latest work from Noob factory, it uses Cal. 4130 automatic movement that is exclusive to N factory. Not only the movement has the same thickness as genuine, it could also achieve all functions of genuine Daytona watch. Besides, the clone 4130 from Noob uses KIF shock absorber that is specially designed for this watch. The whole movement is designed according to genuine Cal.4130, the chamfer and patterns on movement plates are 1:1 original design, in a word, with such a perfect movement, this is the best replica Rolex Daytona in our market, compared with Daytonas from other factories, this is the one that looks closest to genuine. So, do not consider any more, the best is in front of your eyes.Noob Replica Rolex Ice Blue Watch Case has a diameter of 40mm and 12.5mm thick.
The case head is very big, so making the connecting steel bracelet look narrow, so the whole replica watch does not look as harminous as black Submariner, however, it is made for professional divers, it will act as an important role as long as being able to 3900m waterproof. But this replica Rolex 116660 James Cameron watch is water resistant to 50 meters. The case back has two pieces, the central black one is Titanium seal, the back has the same construction as genuine watch. The bezel engravings are filled with platinum painting.The most beautiful place of the replica lies in its dial. The blue to black gradient of the dial is called D-Blue. Gradual effect on the dial ia perfect and natural, the upper blue is like ocean color, while the black bottom dial symbolizes the darkest Mariana Trench. The dial color is 100% the same as genuine watch. 3D hour markers feature silver edge and are filled white luminous material like hands. The dial lume is more powerful than any other Submariner or Sea-Dweller replica watches.Why this replica Rolex D-Blue watch sold at such a high price? First, its waterproof system is better made, the one-piece screw-down crown features O Ring system, besides, the crown tube is thick and perfectly matches the threads. Second, the better movement is also one reason. The replica is equipped with a Super Asian 3135 movement, which is the best 3135 currently installed on Submariner 116610 LN and Sea-Dweller Deepsea. Do not be cheated by other scam dealers, they usually charge you the 3135 movement fee but sending you an Asian ETA movement watch, if you want to know how to identify without opending the case back, please leave comment here.
