Then there’s the much more subdued fixed stainless bezel of the Explorer II which matches the case and features a 24-hour marked scale. This feature was specifically built for explorers who need to distinguish day from night – think cave explorers or polar explorers in the height of summer when the sun never sets.For decades, the durable and waterproof Oyster case on the Explorer II measured 40mm, but upon its redesign for the 40th anniversary of the collection in 2011, it was enlarged to 42mm. However, while Rolex produces a precious metal version of the Submariner, the Explorer II is exclusively offered in 904L stainless steel, and there have never been any solid gold or two-tone models ever produced. The current Explorer II is only offered on a steel Oyster bracelet with a Oysterlock clasp, but to be honest, when it comes to the Explorer II, collectors are much more concerned with what really makes this watch: the face.The dial of the Explorer II is iconic for a few reasons. The most notable being the colored 24-hour hand which circles the face. First there’s the iconic orange 24-hour hand, originally designed to help polar and cave explorers distinguish night from day, that gained its cult-status from the original “Steve McQueen” reference. Rolex eventually brought back the bright orange hand with much fanfare. Then there’s the red 24-hour hand which graced the dial for decades – it’s distinctly different than the orange hand with a skinnier body and smaller luminous triangle at the tip. The dials with a red 24-hour hand are far less punchy than their orange counterparts, but still make the Explorer II standout from the rest of the Rolex lineup.Then there are the dial colors – available in effortlessly-cool black and the coveted ‘polar’ white. The polar dial is totally cool and clean, the white face outfitted with white lume plots and Mercedes hands outlined in black. The black face on the other hand has a totally different appeal. While it boasts the same features, the darker face really highlights the stainless steel bezel, lume hour plots and lume-filled Mercedes hands (this time in white gold rather than finished black). It’s a punchier look, and the colored 24-hour hand – especially the orange one – shines against the black a little brighter.
The replica Rolex Explorer II features a white dial, there is also a black dial version. White and black match really well, like this 216570 replica, on white dial, the hour markers and hands all have black edge, which has a high contrast with the white dial background. The orange GMT hand echoes with the orange printing “EXPLORER II”, looks very obvious and eye-catching. Hour markers and hands are applied super lume material, so the dial will have a strong lume effect in the dark, which is very convenient for you to read the time.For me, who pursue perfection, I focus its texture such as weight more than the details. When I first hold the replica on hand, I feel a little heavy, it gives me a big surprise because a lot of replica watches have a very light weight, but this one is heavy, this absolutely makes me believe that the replica is made of high-level solid steel material, actually it is, the 316L stainless steel is currently the best watch material. With screw-down crown and case back is perfectly sealed, the replica watch is tested to be 50m waterproof by Noob factory workers.Replica Rolex 36mm Datejust 116233 Champagne Gold Watch ReviewI did not give too many reviews on ladies watches, all replicas reviewed here are for men, they look strong and most of them are particularly made for special purpose. Some readers here asked me whether there is good quality replica watches for ladies, maybe they want to buy one for their girlfriend or wife. Actually there are a lot of good ladies watches in our market, such as Cartier, Chopard, etc., Rolex also has their ladies collection, the 36mm and 28mm Datejust or Day Date are all made for ladies. Here I am going to introduce one replica watch, it is a champagne gold Datejust, in 36mm, which is a medium size and will fit the wrist of most women. The two tone is a very popular style, and the diamonds on dial add more luxury feeling to this gold replica.The watch has a steel and champagne gold color, fluted bezel is champagne gold plated, like the three middle links of the bracelet. The dial is the place that perfectly shows the feminity of the Datejust watch, besides its champagne gold color, the diamond hour markers are also the most common decoration which you could find on a lot of ladies watches. The bracelet contains five sections of links, the middle three links are golden, which are in line with the gold tone of bezel and dial. There are two golden versions for this replica, one is gold-plated, the other is 18k wrapped gold version, absolutely the latter is the best, but its price is also very high.Crystal is sapphire, which is highly resistant, the magnifier on the crystal is anti-reflective, through the magnifier, the date is clearly readable – black date font on a white background. The replica is made by BP factory, the 2824 movement inside is an Asian clone one, not genuine, we also call it Sea-Gull 2824, because it is modified from a Sea-Gull automatic movement. Look at the golden crown buckle, it fastens the clasp tightly. Clasp engravings are all correct, they are completed by laser.
Compared with other common IWC Mark series models, this Mark XVIII titanium watch is very outstanding. Grey Titanium case, track-style minutes markers, brown dial and brown leather straps, these elements make the watch full of vintage flavor. The replica is a really a big surprise from GS factory.IWC Portuguese is a very famous watch and it is one of the best-selling dress watches in the world. In our watch market, there are three factories at least that are manufacturing IWC Portuguese watches, ZF, YL and 3A. Among them, ZF is the biggest and most famous one. Actually ZF makes the best quality replica IWC Portuguese watch, they are also the first factory that started to clone genuine IWC Caliber. Like this replica, ZF equipped a clone 79350 movement inside, this is a great improvement, because it is the first time for a factory to use a cloned IWC Caliber in a IWC Portuguese chrono replica watch, we only saw factories used such type of movements in IWC non-chrono Portuguese. The replica is a V2 edition, the V1 uses an Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, now the V2 uses a new clone 79350 like genuine IWC Caliber. This is the biggest difference, while there are certainly other improvement made on this latest version, let’s check it carefully in the following article.
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.
