For a number of years, modern consumer trends have been favoring larger watches. As a result of this, Rolex’s 34mm references have become somewhat forgotten in all the excitement and shuffle that surrounds their larger, sport/professional watchlines. However, recently it seems that smaller-sized watches are starting to make a comeback, and Rolex’s once-overlooked, 34mm watches now represent some of the best values for the money among all Rolex timepieces, both vintage and contemporary.When it comes to Rolex sports watches, the Submariner and Explorer II are amongst the most beloved. And despite the fact that they are both tough, purpose-built timepieces, they’re just about as different as it gets in nearly all respects.But if you’re not very familiar with either watch, comparing these two industry titans can seem daunting. So here, I’m breaking down everything you need to know – and compare – about the Rolex Submariner and the Rolex Explorer II.True sports watches, both the Submariner and Explorer II were built by Rolex with specific jobs in mind – and the hint lies in their names. Unsurprisingly, the Submariner is a divers watch, built to time out scuba dives and withstand the unrelenting pressure of 300-meter (1,000 foot) depths. In fact, this watch has been one of the world’s top diving watches since it was first released back in 1953.The Explorer II, on the other hand, was originally introduced in 1971 for speleologists who work in deep underground caverns. But like the original Rolex Explorer – the watch that provided its foundation – the Explorer II appeals to adventurers and explorers of all kinds, especially since its popular 40th anniversary remodel.
The case and bracelet has a better finish than that of Noob, I can say that no other watch companies in our market have such a good case finish like AR factory does on their replica watches. The case is made with 904L stainless steel, with 18K yellow gold coating that is measured to be 5 mils thick. This replica is the latest V2 edition, it is the newest edition, there are still no V8 or V9 editions, about Daytona, Noob factory also has not published the V8 or V9, so, please do not be cheated by other websites that claim to be Noob factory.Replica Rolex Daytona 116508 Yellow Gold Case Replica Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold Chronograph ButtonsThis enhanced V2 edition has bezel being updated, the thickness of bezel engravings is closer to that of genuine Daytona. If you have ever bought the V1 edition of ARF Daytona, you can compare them. Each corner of the case is finished smoothly so that you will not have any scratch feeling when wearing the watch. Like Noob Daytona, now ARF also engraves these secret symbols on the back of each lug.Replica Rolex Daytona 116508 Case BackOn this Daytona, the dial has black and white options. The dial is also improved on the V2 edition. Especially the minute scales, their thickness is corrected and closer to that of genuine. The engravings on inner bezel are more clear and clean, the spacing between each “ROLEX” word is correct. Overall, the dial completion is so perfect besides its fault minute-chronograph counter and hour-chronograph counter, the hands on these two subdials are fixed, they do not have function. However, this is not a big deal, I do not care about the chronograph when I wear a Daytona, besides, if you operate the chronograph too often on a Noob Daytona, it will have technical issues.Replica Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold Bracelet Replica Rolex Daytona 116508 Clasp About this V2 Edition Rolex Daytona from AR factory, if the full mark is 10, I give this watch 9.5. Hope AR factory can fix the chrono issue while still maintaining the stability of the movement.AR Factory Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 43mm 126603 Two Tone 904L Stainless Steel Asia 2824Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 43mm Two ToneBlack is classic, but there are some golden and two tone models existed in Submariner collection, however, I still have not seen one golden Rolex Sea-Dweller before until I saw this one which Rolex published in 2019 Basel. It is the latest Rolex Sea-Dweller watch in 43mm diameter, with reference 126603. What attract me on this watch is its two tone style, which Rolex has seldom used on Sea-Dweller before.
Those Omega De Ville replica watches have one common feature, which is their thin case. The smooth and round case is measured to be 39.5mm in diameter, which is a suitable size for most ladies wrist, besides, the case is only 10mm thick, it is very comfortable to wear, not that heavy like Panerai, Hublot, etc.Here are six models of replica Omega De Ville, which were just introduced to the public by MKS factory. The dial is very simple, you can easily get the time and date from the dial, just at a glance. Not only simple, there is also the usage of luxury elements such as yellow gold, rose gold and diamonds.About movement, they are equipped with Japanese Miyota 9015, which is as accurate as a quartz movement.

Especially Rolex, there are a few new models that have catched my attention, they are GMT Master II, which not only uses different bi-color bezel, but also features a Jubilee bracelet. I introduced one 2018 GMT Master II here several weeks ago, and it got a lot of inquiries. Now I am going to post another new GMT Master II that is in full rose gold, which looks very luxury, while its bezel also adds sporty style. The replica Rolex is made by an unknown factory, but its price is not cheap because the replica uses real ceramic on bezel and the rose gold coating is thick 18K. Let’s enjoy the beauty of this art work.Replica Rolex GMT Master II Basel 2018 Rose Gold The case is made of 316L stainless steel, and there is a thick layer of 18K rose gold, which will not easily fade after a long wear. Case diameter is 40mm, a very reasonable size for mens wrist, but for some people who love large-size watches, this Rolex is a little small. The bezel is unique, Rolex never used black and brown color combination on GMT bezel before, now on this new model 126715, the black/brown ceramic bezel looks so unique. The color transition from black to brown is very natural.Replica Rolex 126715 Black Brown Bezel Dial is black, absolutely the dial is close to geuine watch, but it could not be compared with V7 replica Rolex GMT Master II watch published by Noob factory, which is the best quality GMT Master II replica watch, because it has the correct hand stack and equipped with 3186 movement. Whether from outside look or inside machine, this replica GMT watch looks more real to genuine. While this Rolex GMT Master II 126715 does not have a correct hand stack, but the GMT hand works like real. Words “GMT-Master II” are in rose gold tone, which echoes with rose gold case and bracelet. By the way, inner bezel has correct Rolex Rehaut, hour markers and hands are applied blue lume material.Replica Rolex GMT Master II Rose Gold CrownNot like 126710 GMT Master II, this watch is equipped with an Oyster bracelet that is in rose gold. Middle links are polished while two sides are brushed, this forms a sharp visual contrast.
The IWC Portuguese Annual Calendar replica is equipped with an Asia IWC 52850 automatic movement, ZF disassembled all 326 components of original movement, after lots of trials of data analysis, the clone movement looks 90% the same as original 52850, besides, its adjusting method and winding feel are 100% the same as original. Because this IWC Portuguese watch has a see-through case back, so on the replica movement, ZF factory needs to work hard on the movement decoration. The following are photos of four Portuguese Annual Calendar watches.

The GMT Master II ref. 16710 is one of the most iconic and influential examples of the brand’s multi-time zone pilot’s watch. It brought an upgraded case and movement to the line, making it a huge success and leading to its impressive production run of almost twenty years. The ref. 16710 was then replaced by the ref. 116710 in the late 2000s as a completely new generation of Rolex GMT-Master tool watches began to make an appearance with a brand new case and bracelet design, improved materials, and a new movement.Rolex developed the GMT-Master in the early 1950s at the request of Pan Am Airlines. Its release came during the dawn of international flight. The famous air carrier required a dual-time wristwatch to issue their pilots, and the GMT-Master was born. The GMT-Master II was released a number of years later in 1983 with the ref. 16760, and brought with it independent hour hands that allow the wearer to read two time zones on the dial and a third on the bezel.The first GMT-Master II ref. 16760 featured a bulkier case and is often referred to by avid collectors as the “Fat Lady” or “Sophia Loren.” In 1989, Rolex would release a refined variation of the Fat Lady GMT in the form of the sleeker reference Rolex 16710 with a thinner case and movement. The ref. 16710 was well-received among collectors for its upgraded case and movement, and it would go on to become one of the most successful GMT-Master II models, remaining in production for nearly twenty years.A completely redesigned version of the stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II was introduced in 2007, which meant the discontinuation of the long-running ref. 16710. The Rolex 116710 is similar in design as its 5-digit predecessor with an all-steel finish, a perpetual movement with independent hour hands, and a bidirectional bezel; however, that’s where its similarities end. The ref. 116710 is almost an entirely new watch and boasts a redesigned bezel, case, bracelet, and dial, as well as the newer Caliber 3186 perpetual movement.
Those bar-shaped hour markers, hour and minute hands are applied with Swiss lume material, the green lume light emiting from the dial will be strong and long lasting. Look carefully at the hour and minute hands, they are not flat, both have several cutting faces, now almost all high quality 1:1 Swiss replica Rolex watches from big factories like Noob and ARF will focus on such details, this is also one of the reason why their replicas are sold at higher prices than others.Whether in material or finish, the bracelet of the replica watch has the same quality level as genuine Rolex watch. Especially the finish, it look much better than Noob’s Rolex. Check the gap between each link, there is no difference with genuine. The two ends of bracelet are also tightly connected with the case, which will not be easily broken. The engravings on clasp look clearer and neater than before.The most important is the movement, which is our most famous Asia ETA 2824-2 automatic, AR factory did not use the clone 3235 this time. This is not a pity, on the other hand, the replica with Asia ETA 2824-2 has been tested to be more accurate and reliable than the replica with clone 3235. There are a lot of photos shared below.Oyster Perpetual 39mm is another entry-level series for men Rolex published, together with Air King, they are the most affordable Rolex watches. With basic hours, minutes and seconds functions, Oyster Perpetual can work very stably and accurately, it will also have a very low repairing rate, even none. Today, I will show you five different Oyster Perpetual 39mm watches, their reference number is 114300, each features a different dial color, which includes white, blue, purple, grey and black. In our market, J12 started to make the replicas of Oyster Perpetual 114300 in 2016, the replicas are made of 316L stainless steel, at the end of 2017, J12 opened another sub-branch named AR, this new factory specilized in manufacturing super quality replica Rolex watches that are made of 904L stainless steel, so AR factory and Noob form a strong competitive relationship in replicating Rolex field.
Frontal crystal is made of sapphire, the surface has a layer of anti-reflective coating that looks a little purple when seeing at a certain angle. This features on the replica is 100% the same as genuine. Black dial does not have special points, like other diving watches, it has a strong lume effect. See the dial lume picture below, you can see there are three different lume color on the dial. The skeletonized design of hour and minute hands is also my love about the replica. Central second hand has a red tip that just echoes with the red “Seamaster” lettering below OMEGA LOGO. I have to say the skeleton design of hands is a little similar to the feel which the bracelet gives to me.Finally it comes to the band, which is fully brushed stainless steel bracelet. I can not find a professional word to describe the bracelet, but actually I find its design perfectly matches the whole theme of the replica watch. I can not find any other bracelet on this watch that will have such a design similarity to its hands and bezel. Perhaps a vintage nato strap will also work fine.The bracelet looks a little loose on my wrist, but the watch body seems to be very nice, I love big watch.
