If you have a vintage Rolex Datejust manufactured prior to the introduction of Caliber 3035, then your particular model is a non-quickset Datejust. To set the date and time on a Non-Quickset Rolex Datejust, follow these steps:Unscrew the winding crown by turning it counterclockwise until it releases from the case.Turn the crown clockwise around 25 times to manually wind the watch (it’s always a good idea to hand-wind the watch while setting it even if it is an automatic movement).Pull the crown out to the last notch.Rotate the crown to advance the timekeeping hands. Keep turning until the correct date appears in the date window. When the correct date appears, you are now in AM hours; now set the time accordingly taking into consideration if it is currently AM or PM.Push the crown all the way back in and screw it down to the case.To set the date and time on a Quickset Rolex Datejust, follow these steps:Unscrew the winding crown by turning it counterclockwise until it releases from the case Turn the crown clockwise around 25 times to manually wind the watch (it’s always a good idea to hand-wind the watch while setting it even if it is an automatic)Pull the crown out one notch to set the date (the timekeeping hands will continue to run in this position).Rotate the crown to adjust the date.

VR Factory offers two movement options, one is Sea-Gull 2824, the other is genuine ETA. The following photos show you two Submariner, one is with black dial and black ceramic bezel, the other is with blue dial and blue ceramic bezel.BL Factory Replica Rolex Daytona 116520LV – Green Lizard in the Rain Forest Replica Rolex Daytona 116520LV, has Rolex ever released this Daytona watch? I searched on Google and found all result pages saying this is a replica. So, I think that Rolex did not make this watch at all, it only exists in replica watch world, just like Daytona II and Sea-Dweller D-Green, I do not know why our watch factories made these replicas whose genuine models do not exist. Whatever, they have rich imagination. Let’s back to this Daytona replica watch, we call it a green lizard because the watch features a green ceramic bezel and green subdials on the white dial. The replica Rolex Daytona is made by BL, which is a very small factory in our market, now they made this Daytona that is unknown in genuine watch field, I think they have some creativity. Maybe next time they will bring us another unexpected surprise.Replica Rolex Daytona Green Replica Rolex Daytona Green Ceramic Bezel Why did BL factory name this Daytona 116520LV? I think they refer to the name of another Rolex watch, that is Submariner 116610LV, which also has a green ceramic bezel. This greey Daytona has a 40mm case that is measured to be 15mm in thickness, it is made of 316L stainless steel, not 904L stainless steel. I just posted the watch review on my blog and has not sold one, so if the watch has a good response from the market, maybe BL factory will upgrade the case steel material to 904L. Look at the photos, the case has a brushed face alternated with polishing. You can not operate the chronograph buttons unless they are unscrewed. Unfortunately, the back side of the lugs does not have engravings, while each genuine Rolex watch has, now you can see this tiny feature on the latest Daytona replica watches from Noob factory. Replica Rolex 116520LV Left Case Replica Rolex Daytona Crown and Chronograph ButtonsThe dial is white, three white subdials have green circles with silver white markers. The three small dials work accurately, they are small seconds hand at 6 o’clock, 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock and 12-hour chronograph counter at 9 o’clock. I think it will be more popular if the watch has a full green main dial with three silver subdials. Like other Daytona replica watches, this 116520LV also has luminous material being applied on hour markers, hour and minute hands.Replica Rolex 116520LV Case Back The bracelet is made of 316L stainless steel, it consists of three sections of links, the middle links are polished, which are contrasting with the brushed links at both sides. With a small screw driver, you can remove or install the links by yourself, it is very simple, just like you do it on a genuine watch. By the way, the replica watch is equipped with an Asia clone 4130 movement, which is based on a Chinese working chronograph movement.
Pilot is a popular series of IWC, and Pilot’s watch is loved by a lot of Swiss watch fans. IWC Pilot’s watch is divided into several branches, they are Mark series, Pilot, Spitfire and Big Pilot. Among them, Mark series and Big Pilot are most popular, while the Spitfire and Pilot chrono are also highly welcomed. I read some history of IWC before, it said that the design of Pilot’s watch got inspiration from the fighter in the Second World War. So I know why there is an airplane sculpture on the case back of some IWC Pilot’s watch, especially on the Spitfire. Today, the IWC Pilot watch I am going to introduce is a limited edition model, it says “150 Years” on case back, does this mean that this model is produced to commemorate the 150th anniversary of IWC Pilot’s Watch? Anyone who knows can tell me about this. The reference number is IW377725, it is limited 1000 pieces in quantity, while you can get this replica watch at any time, its stocks will last for a long time, Z factory offers us a big inventory. Yes, the replica IWC Pilot watch I am going to talk in the following article is made by Z factory, which also named ZF, some website wrote its name “ZF factory”, whatever, they are all correct names. If have ever read my articles, you will know ZF makes the best replicas of IWC, Tudor and some Panerai watches. Now, this Pilot Chrono 377725 is the latest addition to their big IWC replicas family.
The crown logo on the buckle is not as good as gen. Movement and Crown Brand-new original ETA 25J movement, the replica Rolex Yacht-Master can be equipped with 2824 or 2836 movement, its daily inaccuracy is less than 5 seconds.SuperLume Dial and Hands The lume color has no difference between hour markers and hands.Having introduced several pieces of vintage Rolex replica watches here, and some has won the praise, especially the Daytona Paul Newman. This time I will share another vintage Rolex here, it is Milgauss 6541 replica. Genuine watch was published by Rolex in the 50s, although not as popular as other vintage models like Paul Newman, GMT 1675, Submariner Vintage 5510 and other vintage PAMs. My watch supplier told me that all vintage Rolex models in our market are manufactured by the same factory, including this Milgauss 6541, which has attracted me due to its special dial details.It is not a replica that should be called a super clone like other replicas made by Noob, J12 and V6, but I love it just because of its retro style and some special symbols. Case is 38mm in diameter, black bezel has a big triangle mark in orange color at 12 o’clock, there are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 digits and triangle markers all in white. The bezel could be unidirectional rotating. Dial is black and has special patterns, all hands are in silver tone, unique lighting second hand has a red tip that is very eye catching. Three-dimensional silver triangle marker at 3, 6 and 9, other hour markers are all yellow dots. The word “MILGAUSS” under Rolex Crown Logo is in orange color, which exactly matches the orange triangle bezel marker. I can not check how close the replica is made to genuine, but I already has all necessary features of those vintage Milgauss watches produced in that period. If you are a collector of vintage Rolex and hard to find a genuine Milgauss 6541, this one could become a perfect alternative.The replica uses a clone ETA 2836-2 automatic movement, here I made a movement test, see the result on the photo below, it said that there is only one second error each day, and the beating frequency is also the same as genuine ETA 2836-2 movement, which is 28800vph. In a word, this replica not only does well in acting as a vintage Milgauss 6541, but also offers the wearer accurate timing. It is worth buying.Today, I am about to introduce one Panerai replica watch that is engraved with Florentine motifs. Yes, it is the latest Luminor 1950 Firenze 3 Days, with a reference PAM 972. This is not the first PAM which Panerai published with Florentine motifs on case and movement. We know that PAM 604 and PAM 672 also have these special engravings, but these two PAMs are Radiomir limited editions. For PAM 972, it is absolutely the first Luminor watch with Florentine motifs. Now, in Panerai watch family, PAM 972 is also the only one Panerai Luminor watch with such unique engravings. Based on the traditional PAM 372, Panerai made this engraved version PAM 972. The replica PAM 972 Firenze here is made by V9, which is a new factory. It is said that this V9 factory now makes the best Rolex Submariner replica watches, but I do not think so. However, this Panerai Luminor Firenze PAM 972 replica made by V9 has a good quality.I do not know why Panerai makes these special engraved PAMs, whatever, the main purpose I think is to show respect to Firenze, which is the design inspiration of early Panerai watches. Actually the design concept of many modern Panerai models is also coming from this old Italy city.
