No, I’m not talking about the Submariner and Explorer II’s famously good looks – we’ll get there in a minute. Both timepieces have a pretty long history with Rolex, and over the years, they have been worn and beloved by many famous faces.The Submariner is famous for its James Bond appearances, author Ian Flemming writing, “He could not just wear a watch. It had to be a Rolex.” Over the years, Sean Connery’s 007 wore a Submariner ref. 6538 and Roger Moore sported a ref. 5513. And as one of the most popular Rolex models ever, we often see the Submariner sported today on the wrists of celebrities and dignitaries alike – whether they’re scuba divers or not.The Rolex Explorer II has graced its fair share of celebrities and famous explorers too. Hollywood actor, Jason Statham can frequently be spotted at red carpet events sporting a vintage ref. 1655 – the very first Explorer II reference. Meanwhile, Prince Harry prefers the modern version of the watch, and owns the 42mm Explorer II ref. 216570 with a white “Polar” dial.This is where the differences between the Submariner and the Explorer II become very apparent. First up, the Submariner has a colored unidirectional timing bezel that today is available in black, blue or green. And before Rolex started using modern, scratch-resistant Cerachrom (aka ceramic) bezels on the Submariner in 2007, it featured an aluminum bezel. The bezel is really one of the main selling points of this watch, as its color really adds some great personality to the wrist, and is one of the defining characteristics of the Rolex Submariner collection.The waterproof Oyster case on the Submariner clocks in at 40mm, and along with the bracelet, can be either constructed from Oystersteel (904L stainless steel), solid 18k yellow gold, or Rolesor (two-tone steel and gold). This is another big selling point for a lot of collectors, as the combinations of alloys and bezels really allow for a lot of style and creativity. And before I forget: the Submariner has always featured an Oyster bracelet, but in recent years was updated with the improved Glidelock clasp, which allows for tool-free adjustment for a perfect fit.
However, the dials of the gold Sub were not the standard black dials of their stainless steel counterparts.A few years later, around 1971, Rolex offered another colorway of the yellow gold Submariner featuring a bright blue bezel and dial. The yellow gold Submariners in blue also has the same “nipple dial” design. Particularly intriguing with the blue gold Submariner 1680/8 models is how the dials have transformed into different colors over time including lighter blues, vibrant purples, and rich reddish brown (also known as “tropical dials” in vintage Rolex terminology). Comparing the Rolex Submariner to the GMT-Master II.Two watches, perhaps the two most well-known in Rolex’s sports watch lineup, have amazing similarities, and one can be forgiven for confusing them at a distance. These two watches are, of course, the Submariner dive watch (ref. 116610) and the GMT-Master II (we’ll call it the GMT for short, but we’re talking about the current ref. 116710).The Submariner GMT Master Comparison .The individual histories of the Submariner and the GMT are well documented elsewhere, so let’s compare and contrast the two current models.First, the similarities. The Submariner and the GMT-Master II are luxury watches. Both watches are currently housed in the 40mm diameter so-called “super case” with a ceramic or Cerachrom bezel insert. This case, done in 904L stainless steel, debuted in 2007 with the GMT (the Submariner received the new case a year later). There are minute differences in the two cases, but you need to set them side by side and look very closely to see them.Both watches buckle to your wrist with the current Oyster bracelet.
Now, from this post, we will introduce more ladies watches on our blog, and in the coming Christmas, we will send some gifts along with your watch package.The Latest V7 Replica Rolex Submariner 116610Ln Black Ceramic Watch from Noob FactoryRolex has always been the most favorite brand in watch industry, so is in fake watch world. Especially its Submariner model, which is the most sought after diver’s watch, every one who has ever dealt with Rolex must know Submariner, and those people who want to buy a Submariner watch will firstly think about 116610LN. Yes, I has been in replica watch business for nearly ten years, I know the development process of replica watches and also understand how much amount of need for them. Compared with green and blue Submariner as well as Sea-Dweller, Rolex Submariner 116610LN looks more common and has a suitable size that is accepted by most watch fans, so I think this is the main reason why it becomes the first Submariner choice. Here the watch I am going to review is its superior replica, which was manufactured by Noob factory in 2016, this was the seventh time for the factory to improve the replica, so we call it V7 Submariner 116610LN.When see this replica at a first glance, your eyes will be immediately caught by it, you can not believe how high quality it is and absolutely the replica gives you a 100% real feeling. With considerable weight, the replica watch feels very nice on hand, I mean the feeling you get from a genuine watch, you can feel its quality texture as well. This one is the best-selling and always in stock. I hope the factory could improve it for the eighth, nineth or even tenth time, to make the replica 100% perfect, however for the one currently under my eyes, I already can not find any flaws.The case is in size of 40mm*14mm, brushed face on solid steel case and bracelet. Every case edge is polished smoothly, the proportion of case construction is the same as genuine 116610LN, the factory manager usually went to some important watch exibitions like Basel World to buy some genuine Rolex watches, he loved to disassemble them and study every component of genuine watch, so the Rolex replica watches coming from this factory are the best in our market. Back to this 116610LN, the bezel uses real black ceramic material, actually the bezel will become an obvious flaw spot for other cheap Submariner replicas, but for this Noob 116610LN, the ceramic bezel is its big selling point, because whether the pearl or bezel engravings, they are without fault, especially the diving engravings, their matte finishing and platinum tone make you can not put the watch down.The bracelet consists of solid steel links, the gap between ecah link is not big so you will not feel it is loose like you usually get this feeling from cheap Rolex.
