The Rolex Submariner has been a part of the Rolex catalog for well over 60 years. As expected, the famed dive watch has undergone plenty of design and mechanical enhancements over the past six decades, including the all-important timing bezel. Read on to discover all the different types of bezels of the Rolex Submariner.When Rolex debuted the Submariner in 1953, the stainless steel dive watch included a rotating bezel marked to 60 minutes to allow divers to track immersion times. The steel bezel turned both ways for simple timing adjusting, the edge of the bezel was knurled for easy gripping underwater, and the insert was fashioned from black aluminum.The printed 60-minute scale on the earlier versions included markings for every 5 minutes, alternating between batons and numerals. By the late 1950s, Rolex started to include hash marks for the first 15 minutes on the bezel followed by 5-minute markings.Around 1969, Rolex introduced the first yellow gold Submariner, the Submariner Date ref. 1680/8. Accordingly, the knurled rotating bezel was fashioned from 18k yellow gold. What’s more, the Rolex Submariner ref. 1680/8 now offered the choice of either a black or blue aluminum bezel insert and matching dial.
The case head is very big, so making the connecting steel bracelet look narrow, so the whole replica watch does not look as harminous as black Submariner, however, it is made for professional divers, it will act as an important role as long as being able to 3900m waterproof. But this replica Rolex 116660 James Cameron watch is water resistant to 50 meters. The case back has two pieces, the central black one is Titanium seal, the back has the same construction as genuine watch. The bezel engravings are filled with platinum painting.The most beautiful place of the replica lies in its dial. The blue to black gradient of the dial is called D-Blue. Gradual effect on the dial ia perfect and natural, the upper blue is like ocean color, while the black bottom dial symbolizes the darkest Mariana Trench. The dial color is 100% the same as genuine watch. 3D hour markers feature silver edge and are filled white luminous material like hands. The dial lume is more powerful than any other Submariner or Sea-Dweller replica watches.Why this replica Rolex D-Blue watch sold at such a high price? First, its waterproof system is better made, the one-piece screw-down crown features O Ring system, besides, the crown tube is thick and perfectly matches the threads. Second, the better movement is also one reason. The replica is equipped with a Super Asian 3135 movement, which is the best 3135 currently installed on Submariner 116610 LN and Sea-Dweller Deepsea. Do not be cheated by other scam dealers, they usually charge you the 3135 movement fee but sending you an Asian ETA movement watch, if you want to know how to identify without opending the case back, please leave comment here.
The outside appearance has already been copied to be 100% the same as genuine, now powerful factories like AR, JF and Noob turned to clone Rolex Caliber and improve their stability. The following replica watch is from N maker, it is a 41mm Datejust in two tone style. Let us see the watch specification first.Movement: Clone Rolex 3235, 28800bph, The Same Construction as Genuine Rolex 3235 CaliberCase: 41mm, 18K Wrapped Rose Gold, Fluted Bezel Crystal: Sapphire Dial: Rose Gold with Lume Hour Markers and Hands Band: Two Tone, 18K Wrapped Rose Gold, Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 50m With Box: Yes The specification says it is two tone style and has wrapped rose gold coating on bezel and bracelet, but it seems to be in champagne gold, not rose gold. However, the gold tone looks fine to me. The watch is 41mm in diameter, I like such big-size watch, the dial looks large and generous because of 41mm case, long and slender second hand is sweeping the whole champagne gold dial, it works smoothly and convinces you the replica is powered by a high quality automatic movement. Seeing from the case, fluted bezel and crown are all applied 18K wrapped gold, gold coating is thick and will not easily fade unless you scratch it with a hard object. Unlike the bracelet, the case lugs are polished, not brushed, so the watch reflects two types of case processing.The dial features bar-shaped hour markers that filled with white luminous material. These hour markers also have edge in golden color. The date window at 3 o’clock features a correct magnifier, black date font is in the correct thickness in white date background. Now you can see such high quality Rolex replica watch has a tiny laser crown logo in crystal at 6 o’clock.Two tone bracelet is made of 316L stainless steel and has 18K rose gold plated on the three sections of central links. The bracelet is brushed, while the clasp is polished with right and delicate engravings. Because of the thick rose gold coating on case and bracelet, this replica Rolex is sold at an expensive price, please leave your comment if you are interested in buying one.I never saw such a sports watch with gems, this YachtMaster was published by Rolex in 2017 Basel, its reference number is 116695SATS, the gems bezel makes the watch more suitable for women. It is a great idea to prepare such a beautiful gift watch for your wife or some people important in your life, she will love it. In my memory, Rolex used such gems bezel in their GMT Master series, it is the first time to be used on YachtMaster. When wearing such a brilliant watch on the beach, you will absolutely become the focus.
In recent years, Rolex was more likely to use precious metals such as rose gold, platinum and diamonds on their sports series like Submariner, YachtMaster and GMT Master, this makes these sports watches suitable for more occasions. Now, let’s read the following article to see what makes this watch so impressive – the most exquisite diving watch in the world.The replica is made by Noob, case is in rose gold color, the gold coating is very thick, 40mm case meets the current big watch trend for most people, one piece of stainless steel was moulded by machine to ensure the case was 1:1 replicated from original. The bezel is the biggest selling point, embeded with colorful diamonds, this design reminds me another diamond watch of Rolex – Rainbow Daytona. This YachtMaster is exactly the ‘Tutti Frutti’ of Rolex.Black dial features blue superlume on markers and hands, which are filled white luminous material and surrounded by rose gold frame. Date is shown through the window at 3, with a magnifier on top face. The crystal uses thick sapphire and its hardness is tested by Noob factory.The movement is based on genuine Japanese Miyota automatic, although the factory modified it to the look of Rolex Cal.3135, it has a lower repairing rate than other automatic movement used in replica watches.The watch comes with one pair of rubber band in black, if you like leather strap, I can send you one pair for free. By the way, no original box is attached for this Rolex, you need to pay extra dollars to buy, and the watch has been tested to be 50m waterproof. Why not start to prepar one diving watch for your hot summer?In past a few months, every one has focused their attention on the 2017 BaselWorld watch exibition, so was I. Every year a lot of Swiss brands would publish a lot of new models, which were made with new breakthrough watch-making technology, especially Rolex, they will bring some surprising gifts to you guys in Basel every year. This time, I will introduce a monster to you, it is the most professional diving watch series of Rolex, yes, it is Sea-Dweller, look at the red lettering on black dial, red “SEA-DWELLER”, very obvious. We all know Sea-Dweller is famous for their superior waterproof performance because it is specially made for professional divers. However, this new Sea-Dweller is also very good for you guys who may be not expert divers. 43mm in case diameter, not big and just like the size of Black Submariner, it will be under control of your wrist. And the new Sea-Dweller 126600 is very similar to Submariner because of its Cyclops. I can not find such a feature on previous Sea-Dweller models. So this watch will be a good choice for watch fans who like a Submariner-style Sea-Dweller professional diver’s watch.It is already not a secret that our fake watch factories will go to Basel watch exibition, why did they go there? Not only they love watches, but they also wanted to buy some so could manufacture the latest replicas of these new watches. The main reason is that they want to do business and earn a lot of money. By the way, some factory managers really did well in this area. Such as BP, which made this replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600. According to my knowledge, BP is the first factory to publish this Sea-Dweller replica watch, and the watch quality is top, with a very considerable price, I think it is worth for you to get this replica watch.Let us talk movement first, it is genuine ETA 2836. Beating at rate of 28800BPH.
The biggest difference between modern AquaTimer and previous AquaTimer watches lies in their bezel design. I more prefer the two color black and yellow bezel of old AquaTimer models. Here, let use be back to the replica we are discussing, it is the latest work from V6 factory, which has expanded their watch business into every Swiss brand. V6 factory published a lot of high quality replica watches in 2016, among them, Omega Spectre is the one that gained a great success. Now this IWC AquaTimer replica is made of 316L stainless steel in case and bezel, it looks very strong and tough. The bezel has grooves so it is easy for the wearer to catch even when their hands get wet. The dial has two levels, it has a great 3D visual effect. Hour markers, hands and diving scales on outer bezel are all applied luminous material.
About this two tone Submariner 116613LN, there are basically four factories that are making it. BP, GM, AR and Noob. Among four of them, BP is the factory makes the cheapest one. GM is a new factory, I do not know their quality. So, the last two factories AR and Noob are worth your consideration. Based on the V1 edition, this time AR factory update the bezel and dial, the thickness of yellow gold coating on case and bracelet is also improved. First, the 18K yellow gold coating, which the factory claims, is updated to be 8 mils thick. Second, the black ceramic bezel insert is also updated, the golden markers on the bezel are improved to have the same engraving depth. Thrid, about dial improvement, the golden edge of hour markers is narrowed, while the central lume part is wider, so there will be more lume coating on each hour marker to guarantee stronger and longer lume light in dark conditions.So, instead of spending $50 USD more on the 116613LN from Noob, it is better to choose this one from AR factory.I love vintage watches very much. Especially Rolex and Panerai are my most favorite.This generation’s Paul Newman Daytonas are currently flying under the radar. Yes, the Rolex GMT-Master II has already doubled in value, and is likely going to appreciate further due to Rolex carefully managing the supply of that model to the ravenous public, but only by 200%, 300%, 500%. Now, that’s not too bad at all, but the really crazy money is likely hiding somewhere in the far corner of the industry and we won’t know what it is until it’s too late to rush out, cash in hand, and “collect” it.So what should we do in the meantime? I told my little friend, desperate to see a return on his money that he should be patient. He should wait to fall in love. He should truly get to know himself before he pulls the trigger. And then, when he’s good and ready, he should buy a Rolex anyway.
A lot of people – even seasoned collectors – can find themselves confused when trying to distinguish between original and authentic watches. The trick? Stop thinking of the words as synonymous. In this guide, you’ll learn about the big differences between these two categories of luxury watches and how it can help you be a more educated shopper and collector.An authentic watch is undisputed in origin, and not a replica or copy. This means that in order for something to be authentic, it has to be 100% real. Authentic watches are genuine pieces from brands – think of the big players like Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Patek Philippe and more.We use the word authentic in the industry to distinguish between genuine timepieces and fakes that are widely copied and sold. When a dealer gets their hands on a watch, the first thing they are going to do is check the authenticity of the watch; and as a buyer, you should be doing the same. As a buyer, the first step in guaranteeing you get an authentic watch is by always buying directly from the brand or a trusted and reputable dealer who can ensure that the watch is authentic.But how can you tell whether a watch is authentic? Well, we’ve created some great guides to help educate buyers and collectors – both on what’s real, and how to spot inauthentic details. Head over here to check out our official guide on the Top Ways To Spot A Fake Rolex.To be an original watch, the timepiece has to be an authentic watch. Because when you see a watch listed as original, it means that it is both a genuine timepiece from that brand, and one that has not had any later-era updates or alterations since it was manufactured and originally sold.Original watches are:Authentic Have not had parts replaced with later-era equivalents or been modified/altered in any way Sometimes in the industry, we also refer to original watches as ‘honest’ watches. And when we look at pre-owned timepieces – especially vintage watches, we often look for originality. This means we look for things like correct factory-installed parts, whether they’re scratched, chipped or faded.We also look for things like custom details that were added after purchasing, like diamonds or enhanced bezels which were later-era additions and unoriginal to the piece. There are even many buyers and collectors who will favor watches that have never had a polishing or servicing that could have hindered the natural aging process of the timepiece.
