One of the hottest and most sought-after releases in recent years was the reference 116500 Daytona in stainless steel with black Cerachrom bezel. With the exception of its bezel, the new Daytona 116500 was virtually identical to almost any other modern, stainless steel Daytona. However, the aesthetic impact of the black Cerachrom bezel is significant, and the presence of a solid black ring around the face of the watch completely changes the overall appearance of the new ref. 116500 Daytona.Additionally, the new black Cerachrom bezel is more than a little reminiscent of the black acrylic bezels that were fitted to several vintage Daytona chronograph references manufactured during the 1960s and 1970s, such as the reference 6241 and the reference 6263. Although the two materials are significantly different in a multitude of different ways, the black Cerachrom bezel on the new 116500 Daytona is very much the contemporary equivalent of the black acrylic bezel that can be found on a number of highly-desirable, vintage Rolex Daytona references.For the most part, Rolex only moves forward with their designs as they continuously work to refine and improve their watches. However, they have been known to occasionally borrow small design elements from some of their early watches, and implement them into the latest incarnations of their ever-evolving timepieces. Sometimes these design elements get re-imagined or modernized to reflect advancements and improvements in available materials and technologies (like the Cerachrom bezel on the Daytona). Other times, like in the instance of the 24-hour hand on the new Explorer II, these vintage-inspired, design traits get pulled right off a page from a 1970s Rolex catalog and get placed on a watch currently in production.

Great care goes into every aspect of a Rolex wristwatch, from the intricate movement that beats within the case to the lume on the dial and the metals and gems that decorate its exterior. It takes about a year to produce each watch that hits the market, so you can rest assured that the Rolex you are investing in is of the absolute highest quality. Gold and diamond Rolex watches are among the most coveted for their powerful and luxurious aesthetic. Today, we will take a closer look at Rolex’s collection of diamond watches, including which models offer diamonds, how much they cost, and the ever-growing risky world of aftermarket customizations.Every stone on a Rolex watch is meticulously examined and chosen for its clarity and quality. Every diamond is virtually perfect and will hold its value well. The gems are then each set by hand by an expert gemologist with the same care that is afforded to a fine piece of jewelry. This close attention to detail creates a stunning wristwatch that will stand the test of time. While it’s most common to see a diamond-set dial or diamond bezel, some watches are also adorned with diamonds on their lugs or bracelet.As modern watch tastes shift, fewer models in the Rolex catalog are available with factory-set diamonds. Sports models that were once produced with diamonds, such as the Submariner and GMT Master II, have since-been replaced in favor of less opulent references. However, there is still a great demand for diamond Rolex watches, and the brand continues to offer timepieces adorned with factory-set diamonds, such as the Day-Date, Datejust, Date, Daytona, Yacht-Master, and Pearlmaster. These diamond Rolexes are tasteful and thoughtfully designed to offer just enough opulence without appearing too flashy, a fact that has contributed greatly to their success.
Two replica IWC watches are from Z factory, we call it ZF. Both watches have real power reserve and equipped with a clone IWC 52110 movement. The Titanium Big Pilot has a reference number IW510301, while the Bronzo Big Pilot has a reference number IW501005.The following are specification of two watches.First, Big Pilot Titanium. Movement: Clone IWC 52110, Based on an Asia 23 Jeweled Automatic Movement Case: 46mm*15.5mm, Solid Titanium Case with Satin Finish Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating Dial: Black with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands, Working Power Reserve Indicator at 3 o’clock Bracelet: Brown Riveted Leather Strap with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 30m Second, the Big Pilot Bronzo.Movement: Clone IWC 52110, Based on an Asia 23 Jeweled Automatic Movement Case: 46mm*15.5mm, Solid Bronze Case Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating Dial: Brown Dial with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands, Working Power Reserve Indicator at 3 o’clock Bracelet: Brown Riveted Leather Strap with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 30m Both Big Pilot watches have a super quality, because they are from Z factory. Every detail is replicated so well, especially the delicated satin finish on the case, and the micro-sanded dial detail, they all represent the top-level manufacturing process in our watch market. However, although the power reserve indicator is working, it can not reach 7 days, you need to wind them every day to gain enough power.
Second, the shape of the hands, especially the propeller-shaped end of the central second-chronograph hand is made correct.The final thing you concern about is if the replica watch has a full chronograph function. I must say yes. The watch is equipped with the most widely used Asia Valjoux 7750 movement, you can operate the chronograph buttons like you do on a genuine. Thanks to the solid case, Z factory did not make too much modification on the movement, so it could maintain a high stability of the original movement.It is a new arrival, but Z factory did not raise its price, it is sold at much cheaper than other Spitfire watches, so I recommend it if you are a pilot watch fan of IWC.
Now, it comes to this IWC replica watch, which is the popular IWC Aquatimer we have not seen for years. Now, IWS published this replica, it is really a great news for us because some people have been waiting for a good replica of Aquatimer IWC watch for a long time. I do not know IWS factory, it is absolutely a small workshop in our market, but this watch is in a good quality, it is the best IWC Aquatimer 2000 replica I have seen in these years.The IWC Aquatimer from IWS has two models, one with black dial, the other with white dial, the bezel insert is also different in color. The case is big, it is measured to be 44mm in diameter. Please check the lugs carefully, their font is brushed, while the edge is polished. The bezel has half moon shaped grooves, the bezel is uni-directional rotating, the insert is black, while it is orange during 0 to 15 minutes.
While on this replica Rolex Daytona 116508LN, the chronograph function is defective.The case finish is good. There is a thick yellow gold coating on solid 904L stainless steel, the gold coating has reached to be 5 mils thick, AR promised that gold coating will never fade within two years. I do not believe, unless you do not wear this watch every day. The end link of bracelet connects case very well, which looks more natural now. Dial is green, a very special color to match the yellow gold case, but the green color is eye-catching and very convenient for the wearer to read time from dial. By the way, the replica Rolex Daytona will come with a AR’s signature plastic box packaging. The following are watch specification.Movement: Clone 4130 Chronograph with Working Seconds Chronograph, First Slim Chronograph Movement Decorated Plates and Rotor to Look of Genuine Rolex 4130 Case: 40mm*13mm, 18K Yellow Gold Coating on Solid 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Yellow Gold Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown at 6 o’clock Dial: Green with Blue Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: 18K Yellow Gold Coating on 904L Stainless Steel, Flip Lock Clasp Water Resistant: 30m A lot of Rolex Daytona replica watches have been published in our market since the beginning of 2018, AR and Noob are two main factories that manufactured these Daytona replicas. The quality from both factories is good, but there is a big difference between Noob Daytona and AR Daytona. In my opinion, Noob makes the best replica Rolex, including these Daytonas, maybe some people do not agree, but this is the truth. Noob not only used 904L stainless steel on the case, but also now installed the super clone 4130 movement in the Daytona, this type of super clone 4130 has a full functional chronograph. Although AR has their clone 4130 movement, but it does not have a real chronograph, a bit disappointed. Today, I want to introduce another good replica Daytona made by Noob factory, genuine watch has a reference number 116515, this rose gold Rolex Daytona watch is currently the best Daytona replica, you can not find any other Daytona watches in our market that could be compared with this one.About this Daytona, the most important change AR factory has made lies in its movement. The factory used an original KIF shock absorber on this super clone 4130. On movement plates, from chamfering to sun-ray polishing, they do a respect to original design, the outlook is completely the same as genuine Rolex 4130 Caliber. Compared with previous Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, this super clone 4130 has correct thickness, not that thick on Asian 7750. Checked the movement photos below, do they look beautiful? The polishing and engravings are correct, because of original KIF shock absorber, the clone 4130 movement has a high stability and accuracy.40mm case is made of 316L stainless steel, there is a thick coating of 18K rose gold, which is measured to be 5 mils. The case is brushed, while the four lugs and case side are polished.
