Rolex is a true pioneer in watchmaking technology. Among their most significant inventions is the Submariner, which was the first watch ever to offer water-resistance of up to 100 meters. The now-iconic Rolex Two-Tone Submariner was the inspiration behind the flourishing dive watch market as we know it, and almost every dive watch in existence today was in some way influenced by the Rolex Submariner. While it was developed for use while underwater, the Submariner has since become a coveted timepiece among collectors of all professions. The line is varied and offers a feature set to suit almost any wrist. However, today we will take a closer look at an earlier model of their Rolesor two-tone steel and gold Submariner ( Rolex Submariner two-tone ). The Rolex 16613 Two-Tone Submariner.The Rolex Submariner was developed in 1953 and made its official debut a year later at Basel Watch Fair 1954. As previously mentioned, the collection was the first to offer resistance to depths of up to 100 meters, which would then evolve into 200 meters, before increasing once again to its current and impressive 300-meter depth rating. In true Rolex fashion, the Submariner was carefully refined over the years to include a safer unidirectional bezel, improved materials, and a higher-beat movement.The original model was presented in stainless steel with an all-gold variation following in the late 1960s and a two-tone option coming to market in 1984 via the ref. 16803. The ref. 16613 was released a few years later in 1988 and enjoyed a long production run before being discontinued and replaced in 2009 with the current Cerachrom ceramic bezel 6-digit ref. 116613, marking the end of the aluminum bezel Rolex Submariner two-tone watches.
Today, I was just back from our traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, it is time to share the latest news in our watch industry, within these days, there were a lot of new watches published in our market. For example, Noob published Super Clone 4130 Daytona V3 edition and GMT-Master II 126710 Blue/Red, OM factory unveiled a lot of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches, VS factory made some stunning Omega Seamaster watches, etc. Among these new watches, the most attractive should belong to the GMT-Master II made by Noob factory.At the beginning of 2019, Noob only published one Rolex GMT-Master II, that is Blue/Black 116710BLNR, that is the only one GMT-Master II from Noob made with 904L stainless steel. After that, Noob put their emphasis on Daytona watches, in September, the Daytona products with 904L stainless steel and Super Clone 4130 movement have been upgraded to V3 edition, we must admit that currently Noob factory has the best replica Daytona. However, in researching and developing other Rolex models, especially GMT-Master II, Noob has fallen behind other factories like GMF. But if we look at the Submariner, you’ll notice it always has a dark face. The most common is the black dial, but the blue and green dial Submariners are incredibly popular as well. What defines the face are those beautiful rounded, lume hour plots which pop against the dark colors of the dial. To break it up, you’ll also find an inverse triangle up at 12-o’clock and down at the 6 and 9 o’clock locations, there are rectangular lume plots.Of course, over at three there is the date window under a sapphire crystal cyclops lens. And swinging around the dial are those world-famous Mercedes hands which are also outfitted with easy-to-read lume. The dial of the Submariner is quite simple yet stylish and versatile, which is what draws a lot of people to this iconic model.
Ballon Blue, the classic of V6 factory, and also the best in the market. V6 factory makes three versions for Ballon Blue, one is with Sea-Gull 2824, one is with ETA 2892, the last uses Sea-Gull 2892. The one with genuine ETA 2892 movement is the best Ballon Bleu, and absolutely sold at a high price. Rhodium plated dial has a strong three-dimensional feeling.Steelfish from H factory is very cost-efficient, it has a considerable finishing and weight. The dial has black and blue options.AP 15703 is an important milestone in replica watch world. I recommend the 15703 replica made by JF. If you want a better price, choose V7 with 2824 movement, considering a more stable movement, you can choose V8 with Miyota 9015.Now black Sub comes. This replica has already been manufactured well. About movement, I prefer 3135, the winding direction is correct and winding feel is very good. Highly recommended.
Movement: Asia Super Clone 3135 Automatic, 25 Jeweled, 28800BPH, Decorated Movement Plates and Auto Rotor Case: 40mm*13mm, Solid 904L Stainless Steel, 18K Yellow Gold Plated Bezel: Blue Ceramic, Uni-Directional Rotating Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown Logo at 6 o’clock Dial: Blue with Blue Lumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: Two Tone Style, 904L Stainless Steel, with 18K Yellow Gold Plated Water Resistant: 30m In these days, I was really tired and have not much time to write something new about replica watches, actually at the beginning of 2017, those factories seem not to release striking new models, I guess they are waiting for genuine new watches that will be published in BaselWorld. However, some factories, such as BP, are still bringing new surprise to us, this time, BP factory released a series of vintage Rolex Submariner replicas, this one Comex 1680 is one of them. Actually I remembered such type of vintage Rolex replicas were manufactured by another unknown factory, a factory that made the famous vintage Paul Newman Daytona replica, this time, not only BP made Paul Newman Daytona, it also produced this Comex Submariner. Every one who knows BP must remember their Rolex Submariner replicas have a very close quality to Noob Submariner, so now BP brings these vintage Rolex replicas to a new quality level.
