This means that in order for something to be authentic, it has to be 100% real. Authentic watches are genuine pieces from brands – think of the big players like Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Patek Philippe and more.We use the word authentic in the industry to distinguish between genuine timepieces and fakes that are widely copied and sold. When a dealer gets their hands on a watch, the first thing they are going to do is check the authenticity of the watch; and as a buyer, you should be doing the same. As a buyer, the first step in guaranteeing you get an authentic watch is by always buying directly from the brand or a trusted and reputable dealer who can ensure that the watch is authentic.But how can you tell whether a watch is authentic? Well, we’ve created some great guides to help educate buyers and collectors – both on what’s real, and how to spot inauthentic details. Head over here to check out our official guide on the Top Ways To Spot A Fake Rolex.To be an original watch, the timepiece has to be an authentic watch. Because when you see a watch listed as original, it means that it is both a genuine timepiece from that brand, and one that has not had any later-era updates or alterations since it was manufactured and originally sold.Original watches are:Authentic Have not had parts replaced with later-era equivalents or been modified/altered in any way Sometimes in the industry, we also refer to original watches as ‘honest’ watches. And when we look at pre-owned timepieces – especially vintage watches, we often look for originality. This means we look for things like correct factory-installed parts, whether they’re scratched, chipped or faded.We also look for things like custom details that were added after purchasing, like diamonds or enhanced bezels which were later-era additions and unoriginal to the piece. There are even many buyers and collectors who will favor watches that have never had a polishing or servicing that could have hindered the natural aging process of the timepiece.

Especially its Submariner model, which is the most sought after diver’s watch, every one who has ever dealt with Rolex must know Submariner, and those people who want to buy a Submariner watch will firstly think about 116610LN. Yes, I has been in replica watch business for nearly ten years, I know the development process of replica watches and also understand how much amount of need for them. Compared with green and blue Submariner as well as Sea-Dweller, Rolex Submariner 116610LN looks more common and has a suitable size that is accepted by most watch fans, so I think this is the main reason why it becomes the first Submariner choice. Here the watch I am going to review is its superior replica, which was manufactured by Noob factory in 2016, this was the seventh time for the factory to improve the replica, so we call it V7 Submariner 116610LN.When see this replica at a first glance, your eyes will be immediately caught by it, you can not believe how high quality it is and absolutely the replica gives you a 100% real feeling.

Every case edge is polished smoothly, the proportion of case construction is the same as genuine 116610LN, the factory manager usually went to some important watch exibitions like Basel World to buy some genuine Rolex watches, he loved to disassemble them and study every component of genuine watch, so the Rolex replica watches coming from this factory are the best in our market. Back to this 116610LN, the bezel uses real black ceramic material, actually the bezel will become an obvious flaw spot for other cheap Submariner replicas, but for this Noob 116610LN, the ceramic bezel is its big selling point, because whether the pearl or bezel engravings, they are without fault, especially the diving engravings, their matte finishing and platinum tone make you can not put the watch down.The bracelet consists of solid steel links, the gap between ecah link is not big so you will not feel it is loose like you usually get this feeling from cheap Rolex.

The Florentine lily is printed at 6 o’clock on the dial, with “FIRENZE” below.

This article will also be an ultimate guide for you to find the replica watch that looks closest to genuine. Let’s begin.1 – Noob V9 Edition Rolex Submariner 116610LN Rolex is the best-selling watch around the world, it is also the truth in replica watch field. Noob factory published V9 edition in 2018, which means this is the ninth time Noob has made improvement on this Submariner watch.

Royal Oak is their iconic series and is well-known among watch fans due to its octagon-shaped bezel. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400 is the second best seller, it is the V4 edition from JF. 15400 not only has a top quality case finish, but it is also equipped with a super clone 3120 movement that looks closest to genuine AP Cal. 3120. The JF V4 Royal Oak 15400 has three dial color options, black, white and blue.Tudor is a sub-brand of Rolex and it is very popular in Swiss watch industry. Tudor has published a lot of classic models that are not only in genuine watch market, but also became one of the mostly replicated watches in fake watch industry. The Black Bay is even a good alternative of Rolex Submariner. In the past, Tudor watches were replicated by a lot of factories, but Z is the only factory that made the highest quality replica Tudor watches, especially the Tudor Bronzo replica made by Z, it was immediately sold out after being released, and was always out of stock. Today, the replica Tudor watch I want to talk is made by another factory, which we call it KR. Maybe it is a sub-factory of Z, who knows? Because since the beginning of 2018, some manufacturers in our market opened their sub-branches. The Tudor Black Bay replica here is more simple and smaller, so the watch will suit most people and a good choice for watch fans who love simpleness and elegance at the most.
As a professional diver’s watch, Rolex is willing to uses gold and other precious metal on its Submariner series. In 2017 Basel, Rolex published several new models, but I always think that those Submariner models they published before are the most classic ones, like 116610LN Black Submariner, 114060 No Date model, etc. Today, the 116613 is for Rolex fans who love two tone style. The replica Rolex Submariner 116613 is made by Noob factory, it is V7 version, absolutely the best one currently. Every detail is replicated to be closer to genuine Submariner watch. Especially the yellow gold coating on bezel and bracelet, it is 18K wrapped gold, not plated, so the gold coating will be more durable and not fade. The case is measured to be 40mm in diameter, 13mm in thickness, which is the same as genuine. Case is brushed 316L stainless steel, while the bezel tooth and crown are 18K wrapped gold. Black ceramic bezel insert features engraved yellow gold markers, the bezel is anti-clockwise rotating. Real black ceramic is used to made the bezel insert, is is more scratch resistant than plastic. Black dial echoes with the black bezel, all hour markers feature yellow gold frame and are filled with white luminous material in the centre, plus hands, they will emit blue light in the dark. Like real Submariner, the innver bezel features correct ROLEX Rehaut.
The Oyster case was an innovation of its time when it was developed by Rolex in 1926. It ushered in a brand new era of durable, everyday watches that could be worn during almost any activity without damaging the internal movement. The Submariner takes the design of the Oyster case one step further and increased its waterproofness up to 300 meters/1,000 feet.The ref. 16613 features a standard 40mm case in highly corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel. An 18 karat yellow gold screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel accompany the case, giving it a desirable two-tone design. The dial and bezel set are most commonly available in either black or blue, with some examples of the gem-set “Serti” dial (either champagne or silver in color and set with diamonds and blue sapphires) also available on the secondary market. Depending on the year produced, the ref. 16613 also features either a holes or no holes case and either Tritium or LumiNova used for the luminescence on the dial and hands.Regardless of the year of production, all two-tone Rolex 16613 Submariner watches are powered by Rolex’s trusty Caliber 3135 automatic movement. The 31-jewel movement beats at a rate of 28,800bph and includes a date complication, a 48-hour power reserve, automatic winding technology, and a sophisticated Breguet overcoil balance-spring. The movement has been a fixture in many Rolex wristwatches for more than three decades, and for a good reason. The Cal. 3135 has proven itself to be an accurate and robust movement, which can deliver decades of reliable performance if properly maintained.
