Today, I will take Submariner 116610LV for an example, and picked up two best replicas to make a comparison review, hope you can learn something that will help you to make decision when need to buy one. About two best replicas of Submariner 116610LV, one is made by Noob, its latest version is V9, the other is made by AR factory, the latest version is V2. In their 116610LV, both Noob and AR can install Asia clone 3135 and Asia clone ETA movement in it, today, I will choose the model with Asia clone ETA movement to make this comparison.I got both watches before, and I think AR makes a better case. When I first got the ARF 116610LV on hand, I loved it, simply speaking, it gives me a genuine feeling. You know, I am not a watch expert and I will not make a very detailed and close comparsion between a replica and genuine, so the first feeling a replica watch gives me is very important. Although both Noob and AR factory make Green Submariner 116610LV with 904L stainless steel, and the case thickness is also the same, which is 13mm, but the case finish of AR is better than Noob, I also feel more comfortable when wearing the ARF 116610LV.The bezel of ARF 116610LV is better. First, both Noob and AR factory use green ceramic insert on the bezel, the green color used by both factory is very close to that of genuine watch. However, the polishing of the bezel is better on AR factory, and there is no gap between the bezel and case, on some V9 models Noob factory published, there is tiny gap existing, hope they can improve this flaw next time. Finally, the luminous coating on bezel markers has a platinum color tone like genuine on both Noob and ARF.Both Noob and ARF have their own advantages on the green dial. The white printings on Noob are more accurate than ARF, after all Noob has upgraded this replica to V9 edition, every time when they upgraded this watch, the dial printings could be improved. About the date window, AR has a more neat date font, when you first see it, you will choose AR, however, if you carefully with genuine, Noob has a correct date font. At last, about the hands, Noob makes them with iron, and the iron sheet is very thin, while AR makes them with stainless steel, so, whether in material or finish, the hands of AR are better than Noob.Both Noob and AR factories make dial lume correct.On the ARF V2 Edition 116610LV, the bracelet finish has been completed to be perfect, it can be even exchanged with genuine watch. Although being made with 904L stainless steel both in Noob and ARF, but Noob can not achieve such a high quality level in bracelet finish. On every piece of 116610LV Submariner AR factory has published, the bracelet fits case perfectly and no gap, but the gap between case and bracelet may exist on some pieces of Noob 116610LV.
Other Submariners do not have engravings on case back. From the case back, you can see the pins that connect the case and bracelet, they are crafted to be better so that could firmly connect case head, every piece of the bracelet link is made of solid 316L stainless steel, holding the replica is like wearing a genuine Rolex.In a word, the replica inherits all advantages of Noob 116610 LN Submariner but has its own unique features.This is another great vintage project in the replica watch market, which comes with a replica Rolex Submariner. The replica is manufactured by the same factory as Daytona 6214. I have introduced several pieces of replica watches including Panerai and Rolex in my blog, many of them attracted a lot of readers here and they asked me the price, I have to tell them these vintage watches are all sold at reasonable prices. Ref. 5510 should have be the oldest Submariner model Rolex made, it already had the features of modern Rolex Submariner like Mercedes-Benz hands and rotating bezel, however Submariner 5510 also has the iconic features of its own. Here I will introduce the replica to let you know more about those vintage Rolex watches made in old times.The most outstanding place that also makes the watch full of vintage style lies in its dial, which is black. The hour markers of 3-6-9 and bar-shaped also make it different from other Submariner watches. These hour markers are all applied with yellowish luminescence, so are the hands. The dial printings are also in yellow color except the words “200m = 660ft”. Next to the hour markers, there is a circle of minutes scales in track style, which is also different from modern Submariner watch. We actually call such dial “Explorer Style”. The bezel insert is black and features white printings, there is a pearl at 12 o’clock in red triangle background.
The earliest movement used in the Rolex Explorer II was the Caliber 1575, but over the years it was replaced with more technically advanced movements to help this watch reach its full adventure potential. The first big upgrade was the Cal. 3085 which allowed the 24-hour hand to be adjusted independently from the 12-hour hand. This meant the Explorer II no longer just indicated day and night hours, but could also be used to track a second time zone – turning it into a GMT watch. Then came the Cal. 3185 which was improved upon more with a Glucydur balance wheel that is not only paramagnetic but was resilient in extreme temperatures. The 3186 came next with a blue Parachrom hairspring that is anti-magnetic and shock resistant for even better durability. Finally, we have the modern-day Cal. 3187 which features all the upgrades this watch has gained over the years – from the GMT functionality to the blue Parachrom hairspring. It’s also notable for its high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, 31 jewels, -2/+2 seconds per day accuracy and 48-hour power reserve.The Submariner has a much longer history, so we’re going to start with the automatic Caliber 3135, which, while upgraded over the years, has been used in all date-displaying Submariner watches since 1988. While the aesthetics of the Submariner can vary, the Cal. 3135 has remained a trusted source of power for this beloved timepiece because of its sheer reliability. Today, the upgraded Cal. 3135 movement is COSC certified, outfitted with the anti-magnetic and ultra shock-resistant blue Parachrom hairspring, and boasts an impressive 48-hour power reserve just like the Explorer II.
Initially only available in White or Yellow Rolesor (Rolex’s name for a combination of steel and gold), they were just successful enough for an all-steel reference with a smooth bezel to follow in 2012.Yet it seemed to be too much of a design departure for either the traditional customer base or else the brand itself, and the Datejust II was discontinued by 2016. The Datejust 41 replaced it as a very much a scaled-up version of the 36mm piece, with the classic dimensions intact.But there was always a relatively small but enthusiastic audience for the DJII, as decidedly masculine a dress watch as you are likely to find. Issued with a range of dial options (although, strangely, only ever produced on the Oyster bracelet) it offers plenty of choices and is the ideal model for a larger wrist.Rolex is very proud of their patented Cerachrom ceramic alloy, and rightly so. Scratchproof, fade-proof, nigh on unbreakable, it is the perfect material for the brand’s bezels and it has been rolled out across most of the tool watch collection. On the Daytona, it is fitted to models forged from platinum, all three flavors of gold, and the only two steel pieces left in the contemporary lineup – those lusted after models which are more difficult to get ahold of than a Wonka factory golden ticket.But Cerachrom is a fairly new invention. Previous iterations of the stainless steel Daytona have always had steel bezels, something no longer obtainable if you are buying brand new. The last reference to have one was the ref. 116520, which ran from 2000 to 2016, and was the first Daytona to house Rolex’s own in-house chronograph movement, the Cal. 4130.
Black dial has a micro-sand finish, there are two small dials, like the two eyes of owl. Small second hand is running on the subdial at 9 o’clock. The subdial at 3 o’clock now works the same way as genuine watch, there are two hands on that subdial, the longer hand is displaying minutes chronograph, while the shorter hand is hour-chronograph pointer. The movement has been modified by OM factory, so the minute and hour chronograph could be completely achieved on this replica watch.Black nylon strap may be the best match for this watch. The texture of the black nylon band is exactly in line with the black matt finish of the watch. On the back side of the band, the side that touches your skin, is made of genuine leather. I tried this type of band on my hand, it maintains the soft wearing comfort of full genuine leather band, but also looks very cool due to its black nylon material on outside.
Like genuine watch, the case uses two different craft, polishing on lugs and brushing other case parts. Bezel uses real brown ceramic and is engraved with white tachymeter scales. Noob Replica Rolex Daytona Ice Blue Brown Ceramic Bezel Sapphire crystal is thick, the height above the bezel is the same as genuine. Observe the crystal at a certain angle, you will find a tiny Rolex crown in the crystal at 6 o’clock. Under crystal, it is a ice blue dial, which has three ice blue subdials, they are all working. All hands on the dial and hour markers are in silver tone, with Swiss Blue Superlume applied. The ice blue dial has a high quality texture, it costed watch masters a lot of time to design such a textured dial that features sun-ray patterns.Replica Rolex Daytona Ice Blue Weight I have weighed the watch, like the picture saying, it is about 143g, which is very similar to weight of genuine watch. Because made of solid stainless steel, the case and bracelet are polished well, so the replica will have a superior wearing comfort. To check its specification below to understand the replica better.Noob Replica Rolex Daytona Ice Blue Thickness Movement: Slim Super Copy 4130 Automatic, Full Chronograph, Decorated Plates and Rotor to Look of Genuine 4130 Case: 40mm*13mm, 316L Stainless Steel, Brown Ceramic Bezel Crystal: Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Dial: Ice Blue with Blue Superlume on Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: 316L Stainless Steel with Flip Lock Clasp Water Resistant: 50m Replica Rolex Submariner 16610LV – Firefly In The Dark Replica Rolex Submariner 16610LV Green Watch There are a lot of factories manufacturing Rolex Submariner replica watches, BP is the oldest factory, they have the most complete collection of Rolex replicas. Noob makes the best, J12 is a new rising factory that specilizes in producing 1:1 highe end AP replicas, now they also make good quality Rolex replicas. As I mentioned before, at the beginning of 2018, a lot of new factories appeared in our market, like AR, VR, GM, they followed the steps of seniors and started to replicate popular Rolex Submariner models like 116610LN, 116610LV, etc. Some of my blog readers, also they are potential buyers, always asked me which factory has the best Submariner 116610LN or Green Submariner, why so many people are asking this? Because there are so many factories, they are misguided by different manufacturers and various versions from the same factory. Here I give you one basic guideline to follow to buy the best black sub or green.
The Daytona is equipped with an Asian clone ETA 7750 movement, which means Noob factory used a Chinese chronograph movement as a base movement, then modified its plates and rotor according to genuine ETA 7750, although the fake 7750 is not as accurate as genuine, the price of the replica tells you everything, besides, I have tested the movement with professional device, the inaccuracy is within 5 seconds each day.Overall, 116509 is the best-selling one among all stainless steel Daytona watches, and I never sell low quality and defective replicas to you.I introduced several Daytona watches on my site, there are steel Daytona, Rainbow Daytona and the most popular vintage Paul Newman Daytona, I like Daytona watch because it is the only Rolex that not only features sporty style but also made of precious metal. Rolex Daytona watch could fit your any types of dresses, like business suits or sports clothing. Many watch fans prefer those Rolex watches with steel bracelet, but I think the one with rubber band is also attractive. I prefer wearing Daytona watch, it is very convenient for me when I am doing some sports, the chronograph function is specially designed for those sports lovers who like competition. Today, I will introduce another fusion art, although many people Hublot is more worthy of this title, this Rolex Daytona is a good combination of precious metal and rubber material. This watch I am going to introduce in the following is Rolex Daytona 116518LN replica, it uses four materials, which include stainless steel, yellow gold, ceramic and black rubber. Now, let’s read its specification first.Replica Rolex Daytona 116518LN Movement: Clone Rolex 4130. Fullly functional Chronograph like real Rolex Daytona Case: 40mm*13mm. 18K Yellow Gold, almost 5 mils on 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Black Ceramic Bezel Insert Crystal: Sapphire. Etched Rolex Crown at 6 Dial: Gold Color Band: Black OysterFlex Rubber Strap with Flip Lock New Style Clasp Water Resistant: 100m Replica Rolex Daytona Gold Watch.First, I must see it is a dream watch for many Rolex fans because the replica watch uses a lot of high-tech watch materials. The case is made of solid 904L stainless steel, you know, 904L steel is only used on genuine Rolex before, but now AR factory uses this steel material on replica Rolex, this is a great breakthrough in fake watch industry. There is a thick layer of 18K yellow gold on the case, it is about 5 mils, the wrapped gold coating, which will not fade easily, I have to say the gold coating will not be worn even after three years of wearing.
Although the rotating bezel serves to record dive times, this has not stopped Rolex from making a few ultra-lavish Submariners with precious gem-set bezels that forsake the tool watch nature of the model. First, there’s the white gold Submariner 116649EMBR (presented in 2010) with a bezel set with 36 emeralds and 12 diamonds. Then in 2018, Rolex introduced the white gold Submariner 116659SABR with a bezel set with nine light blue sapphires (to mimic the first 15-minute markings), 27 dark blue sapphires, and 12 diamonds.To summarize, the history and evolution of the Submariner bezel is generally divided into three generations: bidirectional bezel with aluminum insert (early-1950s – late-1970s), unidirectional bezel with aluminum insert (late-1970s – late-2000s), and unidirectional bezel with Cerachrom ceramic insert (late 2000s until present). Which is your favorite type of Submariner bezel?
