Although the Rolex Submariner began its life in 1953 as a sturdy no-frills stainless steel dive watch, today, this famed diver is considered to be one of the world’s greatest luxury watches – while still very capable of plunging into the deep to accompany aquanauts. The Sub’s graduation from utilitarian to upscale no doubt began when Rolex introduced the very first Submariner in solid yellow gold. Nothing says fancy like armor made of shiny precious metal. Let’s find out which reference was the first Rolex Submariner gold watch and lay out the details. When your life depends on a limited tank of oxygen strapped to your back, you are naturally more concerned about the passing minutes rather than what day it is. Which explains why early dive models from the 1950s (Fifty Fathoms, Submariner, Seamaster 300, Breitling Superocean, etc.) didn’t worry about putting a date window on the already limited real estate of the dial. The First Yellow Gold Rolex Submariner Not only did Rolex make the Submariner ref. 1680 in stainless steel, but the company also manufactured a solid yellow gold Submariner 1680. It’s important to note that the first yellow Sub is sometimes simply called the yellow gold Submariner 1680 or the Submariner 1680/8; however, it is not the Submariner 16808 – that’s an entirely different generation. Back to the yellow gold Submariner Date 1680. Rolex’s first gold diver made its debut in 1969, flaunting an 18k yellow gold 40mm Oyster case fitted with a matching 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelet. Early examples of the Submariner ref. 1680/8 featured a rotating bezel with a black aluminum insert and a matching black dial.
The Datejust and Date have always featured identical functions – a self-winding time and date movement with an instantaneously changing date display. Additionally, the two watches have often run on the same calibers as well (as have the smaller versions of both models) with both switching to quickset date movements in the late 1970s.However, today the current-production Datejust 36 and Datejust 41 watches are powered by the latest generation Caliber 3235 movement with a 70-hour power reserve, while the Date 34 still runs on the previous generation Caliber 3135 with a 48-hour power reserve.Overall, the Rolex Date is the smaller and simpler version of the Rolex Datejust with fewer options available from the factory but offering near-identical functionality.Holiday season is right around the corner and for many of us, that means traveling somewhere to spend some quality time with family. Whether you’re flying across the country for Thanksgiving, to another country for winter break, or voyage frequently as part of your day-to-day life, here are some of our favorite Rolex watches for women who travel.Given that the Rolex GMT-Master watch was invented for people who fly planes for a living, it comes as no surprise that this would be a top pick for a travel watch.
The most important is its bezel, which has the most accurate Ceramic Bezel Range, its bezel markers are all engraved and have the same depth. About the bezel tooth, when you are rotating the bezel, you will find they are easy to grasp and operate.People always said the dial is easily used to spot fakes, yes that’s right, but for this replica Rolex, it is the most accurate green dial I have seen on all Submariner 116610LV replicas, the thickness of printing, date font, they are completed perfectly, especially the dial lume, it is superlume blue, very strong and beautiful at night. The pearl on the bezel has the same lume on dot hour markers and hands. Finally, the Rolex Submariner 116610 LV replica uses an Asian ETA 2813 movement, which is 21 jeweled, this is the only difference between it and other higher end replica Rolex Submariner 116610 LV watches that are sold over $400 US Dollars.Specification of Rolex 116610 LV Green Submariner Replica Watch Movement: Asian ETA 2813 Automatic Movement, 21 Jewels Case: 40.5mm*13mm, Solid 316F stainless steel Dial: Green, Blue Lume on Hour Markers and Hands Crystal: Sapphire, AR Coating on Cyclop Band: Brushed Stainless Steel Oyster Bracelet with Rolesor Clasp Back: Solid case back with Hollogram Bezel: Green Ceramic with Blue Lume Bezel Pearl, Uni-directional Rotating, inner bezel has ROLEX on rehaut.

So, next I am going to make a comparison between the replica and genuine watch.Having seen the pictures above, do you recognize which watch is genuine, and which one is the replica? Here, first the genuine has two different green colors on dial and bezel, Noob V5 replica Submariner has the same green color on bezel and dial. Second, the front crystal glass of the replica outwards too much, however, the genuine crystal is much lower.Let’s check the crown logo printing on the dial. The color of crown logo is a little darker than that of Noob V5, genuine crown looks more refined with thinner “matchstick”. The inner bezel engraving is also different.The lettering at 6 is almost the same. Some people might say that the replica has thinner font “1000ft=300m”.The comparison of bezel tooth. The upper is genuine, below is replica.The small crown on the buckle, honestly there is almost no difference. Take a closer look, the genuine has more textured crown and refined clasp engraving. The color of clasp engraving is darker on genuine.The engraving on the genuine is more clear and refined, the letters ROLEXS.A. on the replica are fuzzy.The date font looks the same, can’t find any defect on the replica.The biggest news at the beginning of October is that Noob has published their V10 Submariner, including 116610LN and 116610LV, two models are the most popular Submariner in our market. Upon V9, Noob updated a lot on this new V10 edition. I did not realize that Noob will publish the V10 edition so fast, I thought they will publish it in next years.
The Rolex Crown Logo positioned at 12 under the triangle marker is three-dimensional, all hour markers and hands have yellow golden edge, which echoes with the yellow golden bezel markers. White luminous material applied on markers and hands will offer green light in the dark.By the way, the watch is equipped with a Super Asian 3135 movement, it is modified from a Miyota 9015 automatic movement, and it is better than the clone 3135 movement that is modified with a Chinese automatic, as we all know, automatic movement coming from Japan is always more stable and accurate.Whether in genuine or replica watch field, 114060 has a high popularity like black Submariner 116610 LN. The only difference is that 114060 does not have date function, while this will not stop it become a hot watch, because someone likes the cyclob and some people don’t. The replica Rolex Submariner 114060 here is made by J12 factory, not only it has a superior case finish, but it is also equipped with a super clone 3130 movement.The case is well brushed, it has a great hand touch and case profile is the same as genuine, because the usage of high quality watch material, the whole replica Rolex has a similar weight to original watch. Case and bracelet are made of solid 316L stainless steel, you will feel its weight on hand. The bezel uses real black ceramic, deeply engraved bezel has a silver cream pearl, which is domed not flat.Like Super 3135, the clone 3130 is also a great movement which J12 factory researched and developed. This movement now is only used by Rolex Submariner No Date replica, which is a dream watch for people who do not like a magnifier on the crystal. The movement only offers hours, minutes and seconds for the replica. The factory has modified the rotor and movement plates, so it will be closer to genuine 3130 calibre, besides, the clone 3130 also features a big red wheel.Although sold at a high price, but Rolex 114060 will not be a regret choice, it has 100% same quality as Noob Submariner 116610 LN.16610LV is an old Submariner model Rolex published to celebrate its 50th anniversary. I think it is the first Submariner to use a green ceramic bezel, in next a few years, Rolex released another Submariner with green bezel and dial, it is 116610LV, but I still love the old 16610LV model, I like its green bezel and black dial, because this gives me a good visual impact.The replica Rolex Submariner 16610LV below is made by BP factory, it is the so-called Swiss Made Replica Watch we usually discuss. Every thing on case finishing, dial details and accuracy is perfect. It gives a good wearing comfort and high end touch feeling.The biggest two selling points of the replica lie in its Swiss lume material and Super Clone 3135 movement.
The biggest selling point of the Rolex YachtMaster II below is its thick 18K yellow gold coating, let’s see the details first.JF Rolex YachtMaster Replica Movement: Swiss Valjoux 7750 Chronograph, 28800VPH, Fully Functional ChronographCase: 44mm*14mm, 316L Stainless Steel with 5-mils 18K Yellow Gold Bezel: Blue Ceramic, Rotatable Dial: White Band: 18K Yellow Gold with New Style Rolesor Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 100m Rolex YachtMaster II 116688 Replica The Rolex YachtMaster II replica watch is made by J12, which is a factory that accumulated its popularity for making high end Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replicas in the beginning. Now J12 factory starts to manufacture Rolex replicas, which include Submariner and YachtMaster. In my opinion, in casing work, no factories can compare with J12 because it makes their greatest effort in polishing outstanding case. This gold YachtMaster replica uses 18K yellow gold on stainless steel case, the yellow gold coating is very thick, almost on the bracelet, a lot of Rolex fans asked me whether the gold coating will fade or not, I must say the yellow gold coating will never be worn, the factory uses more advanced technology on gold plating. Rolex YachtMaster II Gold Watch Look at the white dial, its classic YachtMaster style, there are red, blue, yellow gold and green colors on white background. All square hour markers feature yellow gold frame while its centre is filled with white luminescence. Small second hand is in green color, it works smoothly. Central hour and minute hands are in light blue, the color is a little lighter than the blue ceramic bezel.
