Sticking with undersea operations, the Oris ProDiver collection is an interesting one, given that Oris is one of the few watch companies that remains actively engaged in dealings with commercial divers. More specifically, Roman Frischknecht is a commercial diver that has been an Oris ambassador for some time, and rather than simply being an ambassador in name, Roman has played a crucial role in the development of the ProDiver collection ahead of its launch in 2009.It was his insight that led to the creation of the brand’s bezel locking system, known as a Rotation Safety System. Given the level of safety and security protocols involved in his line of work, Roman knew that if he was to be using a conventional dive watch in a modern dive environment, there could be absolutely no room for error, thus a locking mechanism (as seen in other divers like the Omega Ploprof, among others) would be mandatory.Although the roots of the Yacht-Master II relate to activities on the water’s surface rather than deep below, its unique functionality is perfectly suited to this category. After all, the Rolex Yacht-Master II is what is often referred to as yachting timer – a countdown chronograph that can be used to properly measure the start time of a regatta, also known as a sailing race.Arguably the most complex watch in the present Rolex collection, the Yacht-Master II uses an interesting combination of bezel position, crown position, and pusher action in order to set its countdown duration between 1 and 10 minutes, with the chronograph capable of flyback (or fly-forward) functionality to the pre-set time with a single activation of its lower pusher. While many Yacht-Master II wearers are unlikely to ever use this highly specific function for its actual intended purpose. being able to run a countdown like this isn’t shy on practical daily-life applications… grilling timer, anyone?
Actually there are a lot of vintage Rolex in genuine watch market, but most of them have been out of stock now. So, people who love vintage Rolex turn to seek for perfect replicas of them. However, it is hard for them to get a perfect replica of vintage Rolex, sometimes it is even difficult to get one because these vintage Rolex watches are also very rare in replica watch market. Vintage watches usually appeared in Rolex series like Submariner, GMT Master II, Daytona and Milgauss. I have introduced these replicas here on my blog, for example, Daytona Paul Newman, Double Red Sea-Dweller, Comex Submariner, etc. Today, I am going to introduce another vintage Rolex Submariner replica, which was ordered by one of my clients. The watch is unique and greatly different from modern Submariner.First, these photos are 100% real photos I took with my mobile phone. This is a replica and made b JK factory that has produced a lot of vintage replica Rolex watches. The case is made of 440 stainless steel and 40mm in case diameter, the case size is almost the same as other modern Rolex Submariner, but this vintage model features a big crown on the right, which is 8mm. Under the crown logo, there is a word of “Brevette”. On the bezel, besides diver’s markings, the most unique place lies in its red triangle mark at 12 o’clock. On this vintage replica Rolex Submariner 6538, the bezel markers are not engraved.Black dial has yellowish hour markers, there are Arabic numeral hour markers of 3, 6 and 9. A big triangle mark is at 12 o’clock. The dial has a simple layout design and no date. By the way, the dial is protected by a domed plastic crystal.The replica is equipped with a black nato strap that features a SS pin buckle. Nato band is a perfect match for this vintage Rolex but this replica watch will be more perfect if the band is fitted a Rolex Crown buckle.Happy Chinese New Year! In the beginning of 2018 year, a lot of factories published several new models, some are amazing. For example, my watch contact brought me a good news and said the Noob factory just updated Submariner 116610LV again. In my mind, this is the eighth time for Noob to update this Submariner watch, actually after the previous improvement, the Rolex Submariner 116610LV replica has been so perfect and the watch itself has gotten so many compliments.
If you want one with genuine Swiss ETA movement, please choose from BP factory. If you want a Submariner that looks 99% the same as genuine whether in outlook or inside movement, then buy Noob V8 Submariner with Super Clone 3135. If you are in pursuit of an extreme wearing feeling, then choose J12 version because this factory always does a perfect job in case and bracelet polishing. Today, I will introduce a vintage replica Rolex Submariner 16610LV published by J12, the watch is one of the best sellers in our market. The following article will show how charm the watch is.Replica Rolex Submariner 16610LV Vintage WatchThe case is 40mm in diameter and 13mm thick. Genuine watch has the same thickness. Whole case is brushed except sides, which are polished. The factory uses genuine watch as a sample to build a 1:1 case profile from one forged piece of metal. The bezel is uni-directional rotatable and features a green metal insert, which is not ceramic made. Case back has tooth design, the center is sandblast finished while the edge is polished. Check the pins that connect case and bracelet, they are flawless without damage, I always checked this place on watches I will send to my clients, because some watches from big factories have damaged pins. I carefully checked every place of the watch before posting.Replica Rolex Submariner Vintage 16610LVThe dial has nothing to review except different printings from modern Submariner. Yes, it is the “OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE”. Black dial and the green bezel form a sharp contrast, in my opinion, that’s the charm of vintage 16610LV Submariner, and it will be the one that firstly catches your attention when putting 16610LV and Hulk 116610LV together.Replica Rolex Submariner 16610LV CrownThe bracelet is made of solid 316L stainless steel, it is brushed. Please check the the buckle, it is a design that on vintage Rolex Submariner’s. When you unfold the clasp, you will find the engravings are symmetrical. Inside the case, it is an Asian clone 3135 movement, which is based on a Shanghai automatic movement.Replica Rolex Submariner 16610LV Case Overall, if there is a 10, I will give the watch a 9.5. If the factory has a genuine ETA movement option, the watch will be perfect ten.
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.
The bracelet is made of 316L stainless steel, there are five section links of the bracelet in oblique design, we can see a lot of Breitling watches with such type of bracelet. It is my favorite bracelet design. The polishing work of the bracelet is done by watch masters with more than ten years of experience, the edge of the bracelet is polished so smooth that no scratch could be felt when wearing, and if you have a replica that was bought in low price, you can compare its polishing with this watch, they are not in the same level.The replica is powered by a real chronograph movement, which is a cloned ETA 7750, the basic movement is Shanghai 7750 chronograph. When you push down the button at 2 o’clock, the central second chronograph hand will start to work, push down the button again, the chronograph function will stop. If you want the chronograph to be reset, please press the button at 4 o’clock. Overall, the replica has all functions that you can find on the genuine watch.I’ve seen so many Breitling with simple and fresh design, if you want a good replica Breitling that looks tough and strong, then Chronomat B01 AB0110 is an idea option.In replica watch market, Breitling watches were sold very well about 3 or 4 years ago, people liked their Avenger and Navitimer watches at that time. Nowadays, few people want to choose Breitling as their first replica watch. Do you know why? In my opinion, there are two reasons, first, Breitling watches are a bit harder to replicate, especially Navitimer, its complited dial design is difficult for watch factory to make it close to genuine. Second, most factories are engaged in making Rolex, IWC and Panerai, few of them are willing to produce Breitling replica watches. So, these are two main reasons to explain why replica Breitling watches are not sold well. However, there is one Breitling watch that is still loved by many watch fans, it is Avenger BlackBird that we are going to discuss today. The replica watch is made by Z factory, it is the latest model in our market. I was attracted by its cool black outlook, from a big factory, the quality is superior, with a black nylon strap, it completely meets the theme of military watch.
The green-tinted sapphire crystal fitted to the reference 116400GV Milgauss has quickly become one of the defining characteristics of Rolex’s anti-magnetic line of watches. The Rolex Milgauss was first introduced in 1956; however, it was not until 2007 that it received its now-signature, green sapphire crystal – an exclusive feature that was originally introduced as a way for Rolex to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their Milgauss line.No other watch in Rolex’s current catalog is fitted with a green-tinted (or any other color) sapphire crystal. However, at the present time, all Milgauss watches that are currently in production leave the factory with green sapphire crystals. Rather than simply being a layer or coating, the light green tint is present throughout the entire material of the crystal, and will not fade or discolor after prolonged wear and use.Rolex claims that it took them many years of research and development to master and perfect the secret procedure of manufacturing their green-tinted sapphire crystals and that the actual process of producing the crystals takes multiple weeks. What is most interesting is that despite a usual eagerness to patent their various in-house technologies, Rolex claims that the green sapphire crystal in the Milgauss is “not patented, as it is so difficult to make that no one else would even venture to try.”Rolex will never reveal their exact formulas and secrets about how they manufacture the green-tinted sapphire crystals fitted to the Milgauss; however, we do know some general information about green-colored synthetic sapphire and the production of sapphire watch crystals as a whole.There are a number of different ways to produce synthetic sapphire, all of which fall into the following general methods of production: melt growth, solution growth, and high-temperature/high-pressure growth. It is hypothesized that Rolex uses a hydrothermal method of production for its synthetic sapphire crystals, which is slow, expensive, and uses heat and pressure to imitate the conditions present deep inside the earth that is responsible for the production of naturally-occurring crystalline gemstones.
