Looks-wise, the watch that comes the closest to an all-steel model is now the ref. 116509, which is cast in solid 18k white gold and has the price tag to prove it.That means a delve into the archives is the only avenue still open should you want one, and it is the previous generation that is proving the most affordable. The ‘Zenith’ Daytona ref. 16520, powered by the fabled El Primero, is still the gateway into steel Cosmograph Daytona ownership.Of course, the word ‘affordable’ is all relative. Prices start at around the $20,000 mark, which is a hefty slice of anyone’s money. Yet beyond being one of the most handsome and capable models ever made, any Rolex Daytona represents perhaps the surest investments watch collecting has to offer.It’s a tough call, but the starkly austere Explorer might well be the watch that has changed the least (visually) over its 70-year run. That is even for a manufacture that updates aesthetics at the glacial pace that Rolex does. Every reference, from the prototype Pre-Explorer ref. 6150 from 1952 up to the last of the ref. 114270s in 2010, have been simple three handers, with the beautifully legible white on black 3/6/9 dials, housed in a 36mm case.Then along came the ref. 214270, identical in the detailing but the first example to grow beyond the dimensions in 58-years, measuring 39mm. It increased in size for the same reason as the Datejust – fashions demanded it – but unlike that watch, it became the only option available.That is no bad thing. The Explorer is perhaps the last of the true tool watches in the Rolex catalog. There is nothing about any iteration of the watch that is designed to look flashy or draw attention to itself, and a few extra millimeters doesn’t change that. The new Explorer is basically the old Explorer, and whichever you choose will come down to whether your wrist size suits one or the other.Its strength has always been in its simplicity, and it remains one of the best value for money prospects on the pre-owned Rolex market. $5,000-$6,000 is the buy-in point for a well set up example of the ref. 114270 or, if you fancy going the real vintage route, the celebrated ref. 1016 (personal timepiece of James Bond author Ian Fleming) starts at a little over twice that. Tough, elegant and perfectly built, the Explorer has always stayed true to Rolex’s roots.
However, it seems like this Super Clone 4130 movement developed by Noob factory has few repairing rate, my clients ordered two Noob Daytona from me in last yesterday, he told me that both watches still work very fine. I think this Super Clone 4130 from Noob is more stable than their 3135 movement.AR factory also makes this green Daytona, but I think some tiny details like dial printings, case engravings and inner bezel engravings are not as good as this one from Noob, however, Noob has a much higher price, which is even $300 USD more expensive. The Daytonas from both Noob and ARF are good, if you have enough budget, then Noob is a better decision.After our holiday, there are exciting news coming from our watch market, the biggest one is that Noob will immediately unveil the V10 edition of Submariner 116610LN and 1166LV, and they will also publish the full golden Daytona and green Daytona at the same time. As Noob’s technology on their 4130 movement becomes more mature, they will install this movement in more Daytona watches, so we will have more choices than before.Besides the release of the green Daytona this time, Noob will bring us a big surprise, that’s the Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV, which will be upgraded to V10. Noob claimed that many improvements were made on V10, but I see the biggest change on the movement, please check the movement photos below, it is 3135, can you tell it is a real or a clone? It is a clone 3135 but I can not see any difference.Among all watch manufacturers, only Noob makes the best clone 3135 movement that looks closest original Rolex 3135. From V6 to V10, Noob has improved a lot, especially on the movement, to guarantee there are no issues. The new 3135 has three big features, better decoration on movement plate,noiseless auto rotor and balance spring.Noob 4130 Daytona Gold Models:Now, these vintage Rolex Submariner watches are very rare in genuine watch market, you can not get any one of them even you have money.

If you are interested in any one of them, please contact me through email, bs_watches@aol.co.ukAR Factory V2 Edition Replica Rolex Daytona 116508 Yellow Gold Watch with Clone 4130 Movement ARF Replica Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold V2 Now before introducing this replica Rolex Daytona, let us compare Noob Daytona and ARF Daytona. Both Daytona watches are in high quality, they represent the highest watch-making technology in our market. However, they are different from each other. First, now the best replica Rolex from Noob is Daytona with Super Clone 4130, other Rolex watches made by Noob can not compete with AR factory. The only advantage of Noob is their Daytona. Second, AR factory makes the Daytona without full chronograph function, while Noob has the full chronograph, but that does not mean Noob Daytona is better and more stable than ARF Daytona, instead, in movement, I more prefer the 4130 installed in ARF Daytona, it is slimmer and has lower repairing rate. ARF Replica Rolex Daytona 116508Replica Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold AR FactoryReplica Rolex Daytona 116508 Black DialIn finish, ARF perfectly inherits the watch-making technology of its parent company J12.
On brown dial, each detail is very close to genuine, cream yellow Arabic hour markers are three-dimensional and plump. Blue steel hour and minute hands are wide, they are applied with luminous material, so are hour markers. The dial has a perfect lume effect at night. The Lume light is green and lasts for a long time. At 3 o’clock, date is displayed through a small square window, date font is white and has the correct thickness. More important, the date font is centered in the window, not too right or too left.Genuine IW327006 titanium watch is equipped with IW35111 in-house movement, which is actually developed from Swiss ETA 2892. The replica uses a Sea-Gull 2892, which has the same construction as ETA 2892, maybe the decoration on rotor and movement plate is different, but the watch has a solid case back, so I do not care the decoration, as long as it is stable. Absolutely if you do care about the subtle details, you can install one genuine ETA 2892 inside the replica by yourself, it is easy. The improved Sea-Gull 2892 movement of the replica has the same winding feel, its date adjusting direction is also correct.
Actually there are a lot of vintage Rolex in genuine watch market, but most of them have been out of stock now. So, people who love vintage Rolex turn to seek for perfect replicas of them. However, it is hard for them to get a perfect replica of vintage Rolex, sometimes it is even difficult to get one because these vintage Rolex watches are also very rare in replica watch market. Vintage watches usually appeared in Rolex series like Submariner, GMT Master II, Daytona and Milgauss. I have introduced these replicas here on my blog, for example, Daytona Paul Newman, Double Red Sea-Dweller, Comex Submariner, etc. Today, I am going to introduce another vintage Rolex Submariner replica, which was ordered by one of my clients. The watch is unique and greatly different from modern Submariner.First, these photos are 100% real photos I took with my mobile phone. This is a replica and made b JK factory that has produced a lot of vintage replica Rolex watches. The case is made of 440 stainless steel and 40mm in case diameter, the case size is almost the same as other modern Rolex Submariner, but this vintage model features a big crown on the right, which is 8mm. Under the crown logo, there is a word of “Brevette”. On the bezel, besides diver’s markings, the most unique place lies in its red triangle mark at 12 o’clock. On this vintage replica Rolex Submariner 6538, the bezel markers are not engraved.Black dial has yellowish hour markers, there are Arabic numeral hour markers of 3, 6 and 9. A big triangle mark is at 12 o’clock. The dial has a simple layout design and no date. By the way, the dial is protected by a domed plastic crystal.The replica is equipped with a black nato strap that features a SS pin buckle. Nato band is a perfect match for this vintage Rolex but this replica watch will be more perfect if the band is fitted a Rolex Crown buckle.Happy Chinese New Year! In the beginning of 2018 year, a lot of factories published several new models, some are amazing. For example, my watch contact brought me a good news and said the Noob factory just updated Submariner 116610LV again. In my mind, this is the eighth time for Noob to update this Submariner watch, actually after the previous improvement, the Rolex Submariner 116610LV replica has been so perfect and the watch itself has gotten so many compliments.
Open the case back, you can find a high quality automatic movement inside, it is an Asian ETA 2836-2, the auto rotor has uniform brushing lines, its plates on the base have beautiful fish scale patterns. There are 2836-2 numerals engraved on the movement plate. If your watch is slower or faster, adjust the regulator to + or -. You can also see the balance wheel featuring a rosy shock absorber. The replica Rolex GMT Master II watch is only 3 seconds slower each day, other specifications like beat rate, lift angle are normal.Another review about a high end replica Rolex watch, it is one of my favorite replicas. To let more people understand this replica watch, I will give a detailed introduction of AR coated cyclops and some special research on this watch, at the same time, I will objectively describe the disadvantages of this replica so give you guys an objective evaluation.The watch I will introduce is the best Rolex Yacht-Master replica in the market, it is equipped with a 25-jeweled automatic movement. The picture below displays all components of this watch, it will be reviewed from case, case back, crystal, hands, bracelet and other places, as the most representative replica, this Yacht-Master has the best quality.We can notice that the replica case is refinied, the outer bezel uses sand blasting and polishing craft, the bezel of genuine Rolex Yacht-Master is made of platinum and stainless steel, the sand blasted part is stainless steel while the raised markings use platinum. To make the replica look closer to gen, its outer bezel uses the same craft on sand blasted part, on the polished raised markers, the replica is plated with Zinc, it is the only one replica Rolex Yacht-Master using this technology.The dial is the most difficult place to replicate, this blue color used on genuine dial is concocted by Rolex themselves. While being adjusted for six times, the replica dial has been done exactly the same as genuine on depth, glossiness and saturation.Certainly, the logo engraving is perfect. The lettering on case back is engraved by laser machine. This is a great attempt in replica watch field, because it can greatly reduce scratch rate and speed up productivity.Every factory has been searching for one perfect solution for the AR Coating on Rolex cyclops in the past two years, the AR Coating has always been the biggest difficulity in replicating a Rolex. The bluish tint on Rolex cyclops ar coating is actually a combination of colors, the main color is yellow, supplementary colors are blue and red, so now you have a completly brand new understanding of this?The solution of a real invisible Rolex crown was done perfectly in mid-2014, the crown design can not be said to be hidden, it is just half invosible because of being printed, you can still see it just slightly adjust the angle. While a real invisible crown logo can only be seen under special lighting conditions, the most direct way is to use a flashlight below the 6 postion, in other cases, it is very difficult to see.Refer to the making experience of mature Submariner hands, the replica features a pure red second hand, the hands are also filled with SuperLume material like the genuine Rolex watch.The bracelet uses 316L stainless steel, so it looks more glossy than the genuine.
Case is 42mm in diameter, made of 316L stainless steel and has a fine brushing. Bezel and lugs are well connected, whole case profile is 1:1 replicate from original.Arc-shaped sapphire crystal has ar coating, the sapphire has passed hardness test by special instrument, and it is highly scratch resistant. Under sapphire crystal, it is black dial that has several layers to give wearer a great three-dimensional visual effect. The replica has white, black and blue options on dial. Rome hour markers are made of 18K platinum, each is well built. Date is shown through the small window at 6.Bracelet is in high quality, I do not know what type of bracelet it is, but indeed attracts my eyes, I think it looks more beautiful than Rolex Oyster bracelet. Buckle is deployant and has the same construction as genuine.If you are looking for a replica Omega that looks perfect from inner to outside, this is the one. You will never regret, and the watch will match any type of dresses especially good for meeting in business occasions.
Second, the movement vibration frequency is 28800vph, what shocked us is its chronograph function. Using 7750-2 automatic movement, almost has the same capability as original. It has insurance to be accurate in travel time. So you don’t need to confuse about this problem. With thin and long hand, compared with its big dial, it is more generous in the whole style. Its chronograph counter subdial is located in the place of twelve o’clock, and small second hand stays in the place of six o’clock.Third, the replicas uses leather strap, giving us a good touch feeling with such material. And considering we may has different dressings with various styles, this replica can provide two kinds of straps so that you can change as your like. You can change as domestic alligator strap or America alligator strap. The black leather strap matching with the fold-over clasp, can satisfy your requirement about comfortable feeling and convenience. When we observe it carefully, we see a big IWC logo in clasp clearly. Most of all, the replica is so nice in appearance with any details, you may almost can not find out its difference with the original. And its powerful capability as well.

The bezel is round and feels very smooth, the polishing on the bezel makes it look like a mirror.The dial is in grey color and has radioactive textures like sun-ray patterns. The dial has a very simple design, there are only hour markers and three hands, but I can find one distinctive feature that only belongs to this Oyster Perpetual 114300, that’s the blue square markers in every five minute. This symbol highlights the whole grey dial. Besides, the stick hour markers at 3, 6 and 9 are much wider than other hour markers, this is also the difference between it and Air King. The 3, 6 and 9 hour markers are filled with lume material in the center.The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114300 replica is equipped with a super clone 3132, which is modified from a Chinese automatic movement. The movement plates and auto rotor are platinum plated and decorated to look of genuine Rolex Cal. 3132.
