However, the dials of the gold Sub were not the standard black dials of their stainless steel counterparts.A few years later, around 1971, Rolex offered another colorway of the yellow gold Submariner featuring a bright blue bezel and dial. The yellow gold Submariners in blue also has the same “nipple dial” design. Particularly intriguing with the blue gold Submariner 1680/8 models is how the dials have transformed into different colors over time including lighter blues, vibrant purples, and rich reddish brown (also known as “tropical dials” in vintage Rolex terminology). Comparing the Rolex Submariner to the GMT-Master II.Two watches, perhaps the two most well-known in Rolex’s sports watch lineup, have amazing similarities, and one can be forgiven for confusing them at a distance. These two watches are, of course, the Submariner dive watch (ref. 116610) and the GMT-Master II (we’ll call it the GMT for short, but we’re talking about the current ref. 116710).The Submariner GMT Master Comparison .The individual histories of the Submariner and the GMT are well documented elsewhere, so let’s compare and contrast the two current models.First, the similarities. The Submariner and the GMT-Master II are luxury watches. Both watches are currently housed in the 40mm diameter so-called “super case” with a ceramic or Cerachrom bezel insert. This case, done in 904L stainless steel, debuted in 2007 with the GMT (the Submariner received the new case a year later). There are minute differences in the two cases, but you need to set them side by side and look very closely to see them.Both watches buckle to your wrist with the current Oyster bracelet.
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.
Its case is made of 316 stainless steel also decorates with anti-reflective coating, it is not only generous in shape but also has a good performance to protect the watch. We can see this big dial is near full of all the places, it with simple style but it is easy in collocation and never out of fashion.The most important points we need to mention is that its capability is never affected even though it is simple in shape. When we see carefully, we find that it has another characteristic. Its second and minute hand separate in two place to display. In left, the place of nine o’clock, it is a small second dial. In right,the place of three o’clock is a dial of power reserve, we can see its energy situation clearly. Decorating with red color in this small dial, can let us feel that it is not so single in color matching. it has a good balance in two side. At the place of six o’clock, it is a display of date. This is really a creative design in color matching.
Because some other low-end 7750 replica watches are with chronograph movement assembled in Tianjin or Jieyang and other areas of China. Overall, Shanghai 7750 is the best. J12 factory uses Shanghai 7750 in this replica Daytona watch. Keep your focus on the dial, the small second hand works smoothly on subdial at 6. 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph counter are positioned at 3 and 9 separately. You must loosen the screw on pusher first, and then push it to start chronograph.When you first see this two tone Rolex Daytona replica, you will have another doubt. That’s the gold coating on case and bracelet. Will the gold easily fade? I must say no. Yes, I have to admit those gold watches produced in past years did have thin gold coating and easily got scratched. While this replica made by the big factory J12 has a thick gold plating, which is nearly 5 mils, so golden color will not fade easily. J12 Rolex Daytona Caseback I like this Daytona watch, the two tone makes it looks fabulous, black dial is really elegant, those hour markers feature gold edge, which exactly meets the golden tone of the watch. Hour markers and hands are all applied white luminous material, they all supply strong lume light in the dark. This Daytona watch will become the best selling model, its color match is the favorite of many watch fans, and J12 factory guarantees its super quality.Replica Vintage Rolex 5508 Blue Submariner Rolex Submariner 5508 Replica.In recent months, BP, which is a factory has produced a lot of high quality Rolex replicas, made several vintage Submariner replicas and attracted our attention. Those vintage Rolex like 1680 and 5513 are highly pursued because they have not been in stock in genuine watch market. I always like vintage Rolex and Panerai, I saw there is a close relationship between Rolex and Panerai in old times. I love vintage Rolex Submariner because most of them are equipped with nylon nato strap, which is my favorite band and could fit my thin wrist perfectly. Besides, vintage Rolex could let me know a lot of myths which you can not find on modern Rolex. There are a certain amount of people in the world who love searching for vintage watches that already do not exist, so they seek from replica watches market. For example, I have three clients coming from France, the United States and UK, everytime they contacted with me is for vintage Rolex, such as Daytona Paul Newman, Double Red Sea-Dweller or Submariner 1680, one of my clients has bought three vintage Submariner watches from me, and he kept asking for new models once there is.
