The earliest movement used in the Rolex Explorer II was the Caliber 1575, but over the years it was replaced with more technically advanced movements to help this watch reach its full adventure potential. The first big upgrade was the Cal. 3085 which allowed the 24-hour hand to be adjusted independently from the 12-hour hand. This meant the Explorer II no longer just indicated day and night hours, but could also be used to track a second time zone – turning it into a GMT watch. Then came the Cal. 3185 which was improved upon more with a Glucydur balance wheel that is not only paramagnetic but was resilient in extreme temperatures. The 3186 came next with a blue Parachrom hairspring that is anti-magnetic and shock resistant for even better durability. Finally, we have the modern-day Cal. 3187 which features all the upgrades this watch has gained over the years – from the GMT functionality to the blue Parachrom hairspring. It’s also notable for its high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, 31 jewels, -2/+2 seconds per day accuracy and 48-hour power reserve.The Submariner has a much longer history, so we’re going to start with the automatic Caliber 3135, which, while upgraded over the years, has been used in all date-displaying Submariner watches since 1988. While the aesthetics of the Submariner can vary, the Cal. 3135 has remained a trusted source of power for this beloved timepiece because of its sheer reliability. Today, the upgraded Cal. 3135 movement is COSC certified, outfitted with the anti-magnetic and ultra shock-resistant blue Parachrom hairspring, and boasts an impressive 48-hour power reserve just like the Explorer II.
In Noob 116610LV, the movement is an Asia ETA 2836 automatic, which is fully gold plated, while in ARF 116610LV, the movement is Asia ETA 2824-2 automatic, actually both movements are made in China, the stabality and accuracy are good, can not be compared. While Noob offers a super clone 3135 movement option for this watch, this movement makes the watch have the same time and date adjustment like genuine, I think this is the only advantage of Noob 116610LV, but I do not recommend my clients to buy Noob Submariner with Super Clone 3135 movement, because this movement has a high repair rate.Like genuine watch, AR factory will offer one plastic box for their Rolex including this Submariner 116610LV, while Noob does not have it.Absolutely AR factory does better in quality check. In watch quality check before out of factory, Noob is not that strict like before. Now, many customers in forums like repgeek and replica-watch complained that their Submariners have problems after receiving the package within one week, they complained that the bracelet broke from the point that connects the case, lume coating on bezel markers falls off, etc., these complaints are true, while in all my clients who have bought the Submariner 116610LV from AR factory, no complaint ultill now.I do not know how is the after-sale service of AR factory, but Noob’s is very bad.
Just compared the dial lettering with real Submariner’s, there is no difference.Two tone bracelet has yellow gold on middle links. The brushing effect on bracelet gives you a high quality texture feeling. I have one thing to tell you here, it is about the clasp, check carefully, new Submariners from Rolex all have silver clasp engravings, not black on previous Submariner watches. So, see photos below, the clasp engravings on this Rolex Submariner 116613 replica is correct in color. Congrats Noob factory finally makes the right Submariners replicas, and we are also very lucky to own such a high quality replica Rolex. By the way, the replica is equipped with a real Swiss ETA 2836 movement, not clone.Now, everyone who bought Rolex Daytona Paul Newman watch from me before knows JK factory, it mainly produces replica watches of vintage Rolex and Panerai, but sometimes this factory also makes special watches like Pro Hunter, Bamford Submariners, etc. Take this Bamford Commando Rolex Submariner for example, genuine model is specially designed by Bamford company, it uses Submariner name, but has its own features. I like the style, it is military black, looks very tough, and the name “COMMANDO”, it exactly describes the tough style of the replica watch. The genuine watch claims 300m water resistance, while the replica has been tested by factory to be 30m waterproof.The case is brushed stainless steel, measured to be 40mm in case diameter, absolutely not including the crown. The case thickness is 13mm, black ceramic bezel insert with a red triangle at 12 o’clock. The bezel is diving style and uni-directional. Black diving scales on bezel form a high contrast with the white hour markers. Brown dial has some iconic features belonged to Submariner, such as the bezel-style hour and minute hands.
Just at the beginning of December, AR published five models of replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114300, please read the detailed review and appreciate their photos in the following.Among these five models, the most popular belongs to the grey watch. So, let’s take it for example. The replica watch is made 1:1 with a genuine Rolex 114300 as reference, the case is not only made of real 904L stainless steel, it also inherits the quality workmanship which J12 has been persisting for several years. The bezel is round and feels very smooth, the polishing on the bezel makes it look like a mirror.The dial is in grey color and has radioactive textures like sun-ray patterns. The dial has a very simple design, there are only hour markers and three hands, but I can find one distinctive feature that only belongs to this Oyster Perpetual 114300, that’s the blue square markers in every five minute. This symbol highlights the whole grey dial. Besides, the stick hour markers at 3, 6 and 9 are much wider than other hour markers, this is also the difference between it and Air King. The 3, 6 and 9 hour markers are filled with lume material in the center.The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114300 replica is equipped with a super clone 3132, which is modified from a Chinese automatic movement. The movement plates and auto rotor are platinum plated and decorated to look of genuine Rolex Cal. 3132. Actually the 3132 has already been installed in some Rolex models by J12 since 2016, so after two years of improvement, the accuracy and stability of this clone movement have reached a very high level.The Oyster-style bracelet is made of 904L stainless steel, it is fully brushed. Oyster Perpetual 39mm 114300 has a Rolex Crown Logo that is deeply engraved on the buckle, the engravings on clasp is blackened. Overall, the replica has a perfectly made bracelet with the same construction as genuine Rolex 114300. By the way, the replica is water resistant to 50 meters.Maybe Oyster Perpetual 114300 is not your best choice when choosing your first Rolex watch, most people will consider to purchase a Submariner, however, every man should own more than one watch, so, as an entry-level model, Oyster Perpetual 114300 is a good choice to wear as a dress watch in any formal occasions.In the following, I posted photos of other four 114300 models, if you are interested in any one of these five Rolex, please contact me, the stocks last.Top quality watches are always pursued by a lot of people, they like to buy watches from the most famous brands such as Rolex, IWC, Panerai, etc.
The case is 44mm in diameter, it is made of Titanium, so the replica watch will feel very lightweight and comfortable to wear. Titanium case has black DLC coating plated, which makes the watch look tough. The bezel is anti-clockwise rotating, there is a lume pearl at 12 o’clock. Bezel markings are deeply engraved, the whole case and bezel are matt finished. About the crown, it is big and has square patterns on, so it is very convenient to rotate the crown to adjust time and date.Upon experience of H factory, ZF improved the dial on this replica Breitling Avenger to ensure it looks 100% the same as original. The metal Breitling logo on the dial is three dimensional, central second hand has a red tip that has an obvious look on this black dial. Date window is easily to be found at 3 o’clock because it has a red frame and white font in black background. Check photos below and compared them with genuine watch, could you please tell me how close the dial is?Black nylon strap perfectly matches DLC black case, each side of the band uses different material. The outside face is made of Nylon, while the inside uses black leather, such design on strap guarantees the greatest wearing comfort. Z factory also offers one pair of free camo leather straps for this replica watch. Here is the watch details:Movement: Swiss ETA 2814-2 Automatic, 28800bph, 25 Jewels Case: 44mm*13mm, DLC Plated Titanium, Uni-directional Rotating Bezel Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating Dial: Black with Super Green Lume on Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: Black Nylon Clad Leather Band with Tang Buckle Water Resistant: 50m
