Since 1969, the gold Submariner has become a staple in Rolex’s catalog and has since been joined by two-tone steel and gold Submariner references in addition to 18k white gold Submariner models and even lavish gem-set Submariner examples. It’s clear that there’s no need to choose between a functional dive watch and a luxurious gold dive watch when you can have the best of both worlds in one striking gold Rolex Submariner.Instead of the flat lume plots found on stainless steel Submariners of the era, the yellow gold Submariner 1680 had dials with raised gold hour markers with tritium luminous centers – which eventually picked up their “nipple dial” nickname. Of course, since the Submariner 1680 had a date window, Rolex furnished the acrylic crystal protecting the dial with the customary Cyclops date magnification lens. However, by the late 1960s, the Submariner case had already grown from its original 37mm diameter to the now-standard 40mm (the Submariner ref. 5512 was the first to sport this case size, circa 1959). So, not only did that leave some extra room on the dial for a date window, but since Rolex certainly wanted to grow Sub sales outside of just the dive crowd, fitting a Submariner with a date indication would indeed be a practical addition to a daily sports watch. By the end of the 1960s, the first Submariner Date surfaced as the Reference 1680. Evey one loves Rolex, yes, I love it more than you guys, especially the Daytona, which is a classic Rolex that combines precious metal and practical function. Daytona is suitable for both men and women, sometimes it looks more elegant on women’s wrist, the rainbow Daytona is exactly a Rolex specially created for lady. I also saw some leopard Daytona before, but I never came across a high end replica one. Rolex is the best-selling watch in the world, also loved by you guys who like to buy replicas, so, I will give reviews on more replica Rolex in the future. Today, the watch is a super replica from famous Noob factory, the white steel is the most popular tone among all Daytona models. Those red elements on the dial make the watch perfectly meet its theme – bleeding red race passion.Replica Rolex Daytona 116509-78599 The watch is a 100% 1:1 replica of original Daytona 116509-78599. It is the latest and best version from Noob, other factories like J12 and BP also made this replica, but the best one is from Noob. Maybe the casing and bracelet finishing are better on J12 version, but I have to admit this replica 116509 from Noob factory has the lowest repair rate.Replica Rolex 116509-78599 Daytona Chronograph The black dial is the biggest spot of this replica. Main black background perfectly matches red color. Those printings like “ROLEX” and numeral markers on subdials are all in white color, the white and red colors form a sharp contrast and strong visual storm on the black dial. All hour markers are silver Arabic numbers except three luminous bars at 3, 6 and 9. The centre of the hour and minute hands is also applied white luminescence. Three small hands on the subdials and the big central second hand are in red, which echoes with the red minute scales.About its function, like genuine, small second hand is running on the 60-second subdial at 6, subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock are for minutes and hour chronograph separately. If you want to activate the chronograph function, you just need to push the button at 2, but firstly you need to loose the screw on that button, when you push the 2:00 again, the central red hand will stop. If you want the red hand back to 12:00, just push the button at 4 o’clock. So, the replica Daytona works 100% the same as genuine. To adjust the time and wind the watch, just operate the crown.
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 is made of 316L stainless steel that is imported from Germany. The case is 36mm in diameter, such size of watch is very suitable for men and ladies who own small wrist. Not like other Tudor Black Bay that features a green, red or a bi-color bezel, this Tudor replica watch has a pure stainless steel bezel that is smoothly polished, the lugs have a brushed surface with polished edge and side. The whole case is not only 1:1 replicated from original, it also has a perfect finish, so that you will get a very comfortalbe wearing.The dial is black, but it also has blue option. Silver snowflake second hand is a classic feature of Tudor. Hour markers and hands have silver edge and are filled with Swiss A grade Super-LumiNova C1. The dial looks very simple and it does not have a date window, means the watch does not have a date function. Well, the watch already has hours, minutes and hands, these functions are very enough for me, about the date, it is not necessary for me, and for a replica, the movement will be more stable and durable if it does not have a date function.Besides its super dial lume, just seeing from its case and bezel design, the replica Tudor watch does not have any sports features, if somebody is willing to buy it, I think he just wants to use it as a dress watch, however, the tan color leather band adds some sporty style for the watch, it looks like Panerai’s ASSO leather band. The back side of the band, I mean the side that contacts your wrist skin, is made of calf skin leather that feels very soft. It is exactly this grey leather band that increases the sporty temperament of the replica watch.It is a long time to wait for this replica Rolex Daytona to arrive, but fortunately I was very surprised by its super quality and finish.
