But as so often happens, any objections were short-lived. Fairly soon after its arrival, the LV (standing for Lunette Verte, or green bezel) started attracting much more of the right kind of attention, with devotees learning to appreciate the eccentricities. It also had the definite whiff of a future classic, something that set collectors with one eye on future monetary gains to gravitate towards it.As it turned out, they were right. Just seven years after its introduction, the Kermit was withdrawn to make way for the ref. 116610LV. Now housed in the beefed-up Super Case, this new piece added a green dial to match the bezel, leading to it being known colloquially as the Hulk.A short run of an unusual edition of a true industry giant has seen prices for the Kermit far outstrip the equivalent classic black models, and should be set to only get higher with time. Definitely one to consider.This one is a real puzzler. There hasn’t been a black and red bezel GMT-Master (much better known as the ‘Coke’) since 2007. That was when the last reference to offer the option, the ref. 16710, was scrubbed from the lineup. This means that there has never been a Cerachrom example of this archetypal and hugely popular Rolex color scheme, which we originally saw debut on the very first of the GMT-Master II references way back in 1983, the ref. 16760 (nicknamed the ‘Fat Lady’).The red and black had enough of a distinction from the blue and red bezel pieces to warrant its place, and as we all know, the ‘Pepsi’ has been (and still is) a massive seller for the brand.
Lastly, both the 16613 and the 116613 are fitted with stainless steel and 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelets. Depending on the year released, the ref. 16613 has either solid or hollow end-links, either a stamped or link-style fold-out extension system, and either a gold-through or an all-steel clasp. Collectors have different preferences on 16613 bracelet styles, making it a fun watch to collect.The ref. 116613 offers a more substantial hold on the wrist than its 5-digit predecessor and features solid gold center links, solid end-links, and a machined Oysterlock clasp with an innovative Glidelock extension system. The solid construction of the bracelet balances the Super Case nicely on the wrist for a supremely comfortable hold, even over wetsuits.While the ref. 116613 is noticeably more modern in appearance, it still boasts many similarities to the ref. 16613 in the form of a versatile two-tone finish, similar dial and bezel color options, the same water-resistance of up to 1,000 feet (300 meters), and an Oyster bracelet that wears comfortably and allows for tool-free adjustment over wetsuits. When collecting, it ultimately comes down to preference; do you prefer a classic or a contemporary dive watch?The Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea is the most robust and over-engineered dive watch in Rolex’s current lineup. While the regular Sea-Dweller is water-resistant to an insane depth of 4,000 feet, the Deepsea has an absolutely abyssal depth rating of 12,800 feet, which is more than 100 times further below the surface of the ocean than any human could physically survive.Although the case of the standard Rolex Sea-Dweller is not all that different from that of a Submariner, the Deepsea has a re-designed case architecture that allows it to stand up to the crushing pressures found at 12,800 feet below sea-level. As a result of its more rugged and highly specialized build, the Deepsea is among the largest Rolex watches currently in production, with a case diameter of 44mm, and an overall thickness of just under 18mm.
Case is measured to be 41mm in diameter, 14.8mm thick, which includes the crystal glass thickness. The case is 1:1 replicated from original so it has the same size as genuine.Dial is black. Iconic Tudor’s reverse hour hand and shield logo in golden color. Those round hour markers are filled with white Swiss SuperLume material while having yellow gold edge, so are hands. At 3 o’clock, there is a small window displaying date that features black date font in white background. The dial will emit strong green light in dark place, the green dial lume on the replica is the same as genuine.Black dial is protected by sapphire crystal, which is dome shaped and features colorless double-sided AR Coating. With this advantage and see from any angle, the dial will be clearly readable even under sun light condition.Besides the domed crystal face, another element that adds some vintage favor to this replica is its special rivet bracelet, which is made of 316L stainless steel and its central link has 5-mils yello gold coating. The two tone bracelet has a deployant clasp, when the clasp is folded, it looks like a big Tudor shield logo. If you are interested in buying the replica, please check its specification in the following.Movement: Swiss ETA 2824-2 Automatic, 25 Jewels, 28800bph, Nickle Plated Case: 41mm*14.8mm, 316L Stainless Steel, Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel Crystal: Domed Sapphire with Colorless AR Coating, Double Sided Dial: Black with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: Two Tone, Steel and Yellow Gold Plated Water Resistant: 50m V10 Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA 116660 D-Blue Made with 904L Stainless Steel Unveiled by Noob(new updated 126660) The Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA 116660 is one of the best-selling replica Rolex watches in the past, since Noob firstly used 904L stainless steel on the Batman GMT and Submariner, DEEPSEA 116660 is not as popular as Noob’s other flagship products like Daytona V3, Submariner V10, etc. Now, Noob published the latest V10 edition of this replica Rolex D-Blue 116660, I think it will become hot again, many of you guys who bought this watch before may want to replace by this one that is made with 904L stainless steel.This is a big watch that is specially designed for robust guys, case diameter is up to 43mm, and almost 17.5mm thick, not many people are willing to choose D-Blue 116660 as their first watch because it is really too big. And due to the new 904L stainless steel material on case and bracelet, the watch feels heavier than before.Besides 904L stainless steel case material, another big change on this V10 DEEPSEA 116660 lies in the movement, which is changed to Super Clone 3235. In all previous versions, Noob used 3135 movement, this is a big progress they made on this watch.On the V10 edition of DEEPSEA Sea-Dweller D-Blue 116660, Noob also claimed that the ceramic material used on the bezel is upgraded, they said this ceramic is different from that of previous Noob Ceramic watches, this ceramic is imported, so I suppose that they have a special channel to get the ceramic material used in the real watch, so that they have the confidence to said the ceramic is Swiss quality.The gradient dial is classic, the upper half on top is blue, the lower half below is black, such dial color design exactly meets the main theme which this watch wants to represents – the challenge to deep sea. After being improved many times, the gradient dial color looks more natural now.The bracelet is made with 904L stainless steel that is fully brushed, the bracelet is long and does not suit people who have small wrist. This bracelet would be the best fit for such a big watch, other leather or nylon band, while I think is impossible to bear the heavy weight of the case. Inside the case, there is a clone 3235 machine, actually Noob has installed this machine in its previous Single Red Sea-Dweller 126600, the movement has all necessary information engraved on the plates and rotor in gold tone, Noob factory also offers another movement option for this watch, that is a clone ETA 2836.AR factory also makes this watch, I think it is the main competitor of Noob. AR has improved this replica three times, the latest edition is V3, it is also made with 904L stainless steel, while with better case and bracelet finish I think, the movement in ARF 116660 is a clone ETA 2824, while it is also a good movement choice.
The biggest difference between this 1680 and other Submariners is that its dial has a COMEX printing, so it is a Rolex that has a rich story. The only background history about such Rolex Submariner is it has a tight association with Comex company. In order to develop a model that is more suitable for professional divers, Rolex cooperated with Comex, to ask their workers to wear Rolex Submariner watches when working under water, to distinguish this type of Submariners from other common Submariners, Rolex printed “COMEX” word on the dial. The development of Comex Submariner has made a great contribution to the birth of Rolex Sea-Dweller. This is all things I know about Comex Rolex watch.Now comes to this BP replica Rolex Comex Submariner, black gilt dial has white printings, the white hour markers do not have silver edge, it is SWISS T<25 on the dial at 6. COMEX is black in square white background. The date font is in large size, the font style looks somewhat different from modern Submariner’s. I like the crown design, it does not have that large protecting lugs, so it is very easy to rotate the crown to adjust time and date.Finally, the replica vintage Rolex is equipped with ETA 2836-2 movement, which is considered to be the most reliable movement used in replicas. Actually with the rapid development of replica watch industry, the clone movement is made very close to genuine, but I still recommend you guys to buy this ETA 2836 movement, because it has fewer modification on movement components, the working is more stable. The riveted bracelet now is available, many vintage Rolex fans has requested riveted bracelet from me, now it is in stock.I have never seen this type of Rolex ultil I found it in our replica watch market, its full name should be Project X Stealth. Genuine watch is a custom-made Rolex by a company which I have no idea about. But we have to admit that these Rolex watches made by them are really cool, most of them in full black appearance with nato band. The biggest difference between Stealth Rolex and normal Rolex watches lies in their case and dial design, from the replica watch review in the following article, we will find more things interesting.The case is measured to be 40mm, which is a normal size for Rolex Submariner. But among all Submariner models Rolex has published, I never saw a full black case on Sub, while this replica Rolex Stealth Submariner features an all black pvd case with bezel. I do not way this company painted the case to be black, maybe this more meets the meaning of STEAlTH.
