Part of the brand’s collection since 1945, the Rolex Datejust is the ultimate everyday luxury watch. While the model comes in a vast assortment of styles including different sizes, metals, bracelets, bezels, and dial designs, what remains constant across all Datejust watches is its time and date functionality. The hour, minute, and seconds hands are always placed at the center while the date window is always found at the 3 o’clock position. In true Rolex fashion, the Datejust watch is easy to use and operate but there are a few things to keep in mind when setting the time and date. Read on for our quick guide on how to set the date and time on a Rolex Datejust.Earlier models of the Rolex Datejust did not yet have the quickset date feature. A quickset date feature means that the date can be set independently from the timekeeping hands. Conversely, on a non-quickset Datejust, the minute and hour hands have to be advanced past midnight to change the numeral in the date window.Rolex introduced the quickset date function to the Datejust lineup in 1977 with the introduction of Caliber 3035 movement. So if your Datejust was made in 1977 or later and is powered by Caliber 3035 or subsequent movements (Cal. 3135, 3136, or 3235) then it has the quickset feature.Regardless of when a Datejust was produced, they all come equipped with a screw-down winding crown to ensure the watch’s water resistance. Therefore, a Rolex winding crown must be unscrewed first before any adjustments can be made.
By the way, this ultimate version has a higher price than older version, but if you buy the stainless steel bracelet edition, we can send you one nato band for free.Now once in a while, there will be a great clone movement appeared in our watch market. For example, Super Copy 3135 in Rolex, 3235, HUB4100, etc. While this replica Omega is equipped with 9300, which is cloned by OM factory and uses new breakthrough watchmaking technology. All Omega chronograph replica watches made before with 9300 did not have full chronograph function, which means hour and minute chronograph hand on subdial at 3:00 do not work. However, with several modification on previous 9300 version by OM factory, now the movement on this replica Omega De Ville has fully working chronograph. This is the biggest selling point of the replica. Let’s look at dial first, there are two subdials, one is for small seconds display at 9:00, the other at 3:00 shows 60-minute and 12-hour chronograph. OM factory spent almost one year to research this movement, finally made it to be a 1:1 clone.
In this size of Datejust, there are a lot of style options, while the most popular are stainless steel, full gold and two tone gold. Today, I will show you three two tone Rolex Datejust replica watches, the watches are in two tone yellow gold style, while their dial has silver white, black and yellow gold. These three watches are the newest replicas from ARF, which is a famous factory now because of their highest quality Rolex replicas.ARF Two Tone Rolex Datejust Replica Rolex 36mm Datejust Yellow Gold DialI will give a review of the model with yellow gold dial. And in the end of this article, I will show you photos of other two models. Like other Rolex made by ARF, this 36mm Datejust is fully made of 904L stainless steel, the case is very thin, only 12mm. Not like other cheap replicas with a heavy and thick case because they are using a cheaper automatic movement. The gold part of the case is plated with thick yellow gold, which is measured to be in 5 mils. So is the yellow gold fluted bezel. The case is brushed in front face, while its sides are smoothly polished, including the lugs that have been perfectly blent with the case body.Replica Rolex 36mm Datejust Jubilee Like the case and bracelet, the dial is also in yellow gold, all hour markers are three-dimensional long squares, which feature yellow gold edge and are filled with white luminescence. Hour hand and minute hand are also applied white lume material in the center. Because of high quality Swiss luminous material usage, the dial will have a very strong green light in the dark. On the outer dial, there is black minute scales in track style, black Rome markers in every five minutes.ARF Rolex Datejust Crown Rolex Datejust 904L Stainless Steel Case The two tone Jubilee bracelet also represents the highest quality workmanship of ARF watch-making technology. The Jubilee bracelet is very special, it has three secitions of yellow gold links in the middle, which is exactly in line with the yellow gold fluted bezel. The middle links in yellow gold are polished, while the links at both sides are brushed, the corner of each link at sides is polished so smooth and round, you will not feel uncomfortable when wearing the watch on hand. In our market, it is very expensive to buy one separate golden bracelet, sometimes you need to spend more than 150 US Dollars.
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.
The letter M of word “SUBMARINER” is also improved.The digits “1000” and “300” have more round “0”, rather other the oval shape on V5.Because V6s uses the brand new moulds, its bezel tooth has a wider mouth and looks more rounded.The case side has an anti-counterfeit label like the genuine, does it give you a genuine feeling?Black Submariner Case Profile At last, see the movement on the replica V6s Submariner, it uses Super Clone 3135 movement, the shock absorber has been modified.3135 Movement The modified Black Submariner V6s is perfect, it is a good choice for people who love Submariner. Although you could pick up some tiny difference with a magnifier, you can not deny this one is the best replica Submariner that is closest to genuine. Because the first batch released by Noob factory is in limited quantity, so you guys who want to buy must be hurry.Now it is hard to find a vintage Rolex in good condition in watch market. The high rareness of vintage Rolex makes them have a sky high price. However, the existence of replica watches allows this type of watch fans to be able to get one vintage Rolex watch, like this Submariner I am going to introduce today.Its case diameter is in 40mm, which is great normal size for mens wrist. There is not too much things should be talked about its case and bezel, which has a small pearl. The most attractive place lies in its dial, like the genuine, the replica Rolex Vintage Submariner 5517 features a black matte dial with encirled “T” that indicates its military use. There are luminous hour markers in dot, baton and dagger-shaped.
The subdial below red word “DAYTONA” at 6 o’clock is for displaying small seconds, 30-minute chronograph counter is working at 3 o’clock, 12-hour chronograph counter is set at 9 o’clock. Hour markers and Rolex crown logo at 12 are three-dimensional looking. Hour markers, hour hand and minute hand are applied with Swiss grade blue superlume.Inside case back, the movement is Super Clone 4130, it is the world’s first slim clone 4130 automatic movement with full chronograph. Most previous Rolex Daytona replica watches were equipped with Asian Valjoux 7750 movement with working chronograph. The clone 4130 movement made by AR factory does not have full chronograph. Now Noob factory modified it to the outlook of real Rolex Calibre 4130 and developed its full chronograph function. This is really a great progress. The following I show you photos of other three models.Since the beginning of 2018, AR factory has published a lot of amazing replica Rolex watches, which include Rolex Submariner 116610LN, 116610LV and some Daytonas. These replica Rolex watches have one common big selling point, that’s the 904L stainless steel used on case and bracelet. Yes, AR is the first factory to use 904L stainless steel, now other factories like Noob and VR also followed AR’s pace to use 904L stainless steel on their replica Rolex. Today, I want to introduce a super replica Rolex Daytona watch that features a special green dial. It was produced by AR factory and made of 904L stainless steel, its case has 18K yellow gold coated, case polishing is superior and dial details are very close to genuine, so the replica not only uses top quality watch material, its finish is also in top grade. However, about this Daytona replica watch, there is one place I am not satisfied with, that’s the faux minute and hour chronograph counter. If you know what I mean. This is the common fault among all replica Rolex Daytona watches from AR factory.The Daytona 116508LN replica watch is equipped with a slim chronograph movement, we call it clone Rolex 4130 movement. This is the first slim 4130 chronograph movement cloned in our watch market. It was made by AR, but this factory did not make this movement to be perfect. I mean its functions are not complete. Check the dial, the central second-chronograph hand works for real, but two subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock do not have functions. While in previous Daytona replica watches with Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, the subdial at 3 o’clock is for minute chronograph, the subdial at 9 o’clock is for hour chronograph.
