Rolex has graduated from a watch brand into a seismic force to which the regular rules do not apply. While it is far (far) from guaranteed that any Rolex watch you buy will appreciate from the day you bought it, time is showing us that these models, both old and new, endure the fluctuations of the watch market very well indeed.And, in fact, buying a pre-owned model might well be the very best thing you can do in the case of Rolex. Many of the new professional models are simply unattainable without waiting an inordinate amount of time – or without paying an exorbitant grey market mark-up to skip the queue. Older professional models are available for prices below those of a new model, and present the chance to pick-up a potential classic while also expanding your knowledge of the crown.Part of the joy of the watchmaking game is getting to know the tiny ticker on your wrist. Buying modern watches because they are in vogue is all well and good, but it can sometimes be a bit of a rushed exercise (thanks to all that competition). A far nicer, and (in my opinion) rewarding way to pursue this hobby is to consciously decouple oneself from the pursuit of luxury, or status, or the latest trend, and instead put stock in the long road. Read about old models. Pore over their nuances. Allow yourself to appreciate how certain models and certain designs can somehow, almost inexplicably to a modern mind, encapsulate an era so perfectly. These wordless time capsules are worth seeking, as they can, in a single glance, remind us of a simpler time when things didn’t move so fast.My first Rolex was a Rolesor Datejust from 1985. I bought it pre-loved after finally managing to get over my thirst for Pepsi, and having hit the history books in search of inspiration. It cost me around $4,000 and it looked brand new but so satisfyingly anachronistic. Vintage is not for everyone, but before you dismiss it as an option, remember that whatever you like right now will be old someday soon. And it is only with the passing of time that we’re really able to understand what has managed to stand its test.
The bezel is unidirectional rotating.The whole replica watch feels not that heavy compared with modern Submariner, maybe this is due to its small 38mm case and only 16.5mm thick. The crystal is also dome plexi plastic. The bracelet is made of solid 316 stainless steel, however when I holding this watch on hand, I found the gap between links are too large, I do not know how about the bracelet on genuine watch, but it will be better if the factory could fit the watch with a more delicated steel band. However you can not say too much when seeing its price tag.Rolex Submariner, which has been a popular watch model for decades, is regarded as a classic. And in fake watch industry, with the progress made in technology, the replicas of Rolex Black and Green Submariner are also being improved. This time, as the new generation of Submariner, V6s version only only has improvement. The V6s Black Submariner has brand-new casing and crystal, its movement is also modified, it totally meets the expectation of many Noob V6 Submariner fans. Here I am going to introduce its improvements made upon the previous V5 version.First, V6s has a better crystal, which is as flat as genuine. V5 is more convex.The markers on black ceramic bezel. V6s is silver grey, so is the genuine. And the markers engraving is deeper and thicker.The axis of the second hand is more delicate and the same as genuine.The dial is always one of the standards to tell fake Rolex, like the printing “1000ft=300” on this replica Submariner V6s, it also has a little difference with the genuine, but closer to genuine than other versions. About the V6s Noob factory released, they are fitted two types of dial, each is equipped with Super 3135 or 2836 movement, each dial version is correct.
Before going into a further discussion of the replica, let’s check its specification first.Movement: Super Copy 3186 Automatic, Decorated Movement Plates and Rotor, Correct Hand StackCase: 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Blue/Black Ceramic with Silver Markers Crystal: Scratch-proof Sapphire Crystal with Laser Tiny Crown Logo at 6 o’clock Dial: Black with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: 904L Stainless Steel Bracelet with Rolesor Clasp Water Resistant: 50m Like the two Submariner watches Noob just published in 2018, the case of 116710 BLNR replica is also made of 904L stainless steel. The upgrade of case and bracelet material makes the replica watch have the same weight as genuine. Case is 40mm in diameter and 13mm in thickness. With a smooth polishing on the edge, the case does not feel scratch when wearing on hand. Smooth streamlined case design makes the watch fit your wrist better. Bezel is the place that has the greatest improvement. Compared with previous V7, the bi-colored bezel of V8 has a more natural color transmission from blue to black. GMT markers on the bezel are engraved correctly.On black dial, there is an extra blue hand with a big arrow indicating GMT time. Hour markers have silver edge and are filled with white lume material like hands. If you concern the hand stack, then this V8 replica GMT Master II 116710 BLNR has a correct hand stack. From top to bottom, the hands are second hand, minute hand, blue GMT hand and hour hand, while other factories and previous version of Noob 116710 BLNR usually set the GMT hand at the bottom.At last, the replica is equipped with a Swiss 3186 automatic movement, we also call it Super Copy 3186. It is not an Asian clone 3186 on basis of a Chinese movement, this Super Copy 3186 runs more accurate and stable than any other 3186 movements developed before. Now, the factory will send one pair of blue rubber straps for free if you order this GMT Master Rolex watch.I want to introduce more Rolex watches here because a few factories produced some innovative replica Rolex watches with 904L stainless steel and better clone movement. Now it is not surprising most Submariner replicas are equippeed with Super Copy 3135 movement, since the end of 2017, some factories even used clone 3235 in Datejust models.
