Looks-wise, the watch that comes the closest to an all-steel model is now the ref. 116509, which is cast in solid 18k white gold and has the price tag to prove it.That means a delve into the archives is the only avenue still open should you want one, and it is the previous generation that is proving the most affordable. The ‘Zenith’ Daytona ref. 16520, powered by the fabled El Primero, is still the gateway into steel Cosmograph Daytona ownership.Of course, the word ‘affordable’ is all relative. Prices start at around the $20,000 mark, which is a hefty slice of anyone’s money. Yet beyond being one of the most handsome and capable models ever made, any Rolex Daytona represents perhaps the surest investments watch collecting has to offer.It’s a tough call, but the starkly austere Explorer might well be the watch that has changed the least (visually) over its 70-year run. That is even for a manufacture that updates aesthetics at the glacial pace that Rolex does. Every reference, from the prototype Pre-Explorer ref. 6150 from 1952 up to the last of the ref. 114270s in 2010, have been simple three handers, with the beautifully legible white on black 3/6/9 dials, housed in a 36mm case.Then along came the ref. 214270, identical in the detailing but the first example to grow beyond the dimensions in 58-years, measuring 39mm. It increased in size for the same reason as the Datejust – fashions demanded it – but unlike that watch, it became the only option available.That is no bad thing. The Explorer is perhaps the last of the true tool watches in the Rolex catalog. There is nothing about any iteration of the watch that is designed to look flashy or draw attention to itself, and a few extra millimeters doesn’t change that. The new Explorer is basically the old Explorer, and whichever you choose will come down to whether your wrist size suits one or the other.Its strength has always been in its simplicity, and it remains one of the best value for money prospects on the pre-owned Rolex market. $5,000-$6,000 is the buy-in point for a well set up example of the ref. 114270 or, if you fancy going the real vintage route, the celebrated ref. 1016 (personal timepiece of James Bond author Ian Fleming) starts at a little over twice that. Tough, elegant and perfectly built, the Explorer has always stayed true to Rolex’s roots.
Talking about watches and inspiration can spawn some pretty interesting debates, and for good reason – especially in the dive watch category. Of course, early dive watches weren’t “inspired by” anything; dive watches were tools created with a very distinct purpose. That said, as the years went on and the dive watch category moved away from practical utility towards desirable daily-wearers, design inspiration soon came into play. Today we’re looking at luxury watches inspired by the ocean, and digging into the stories behind the creation of each piece and how they relate to the big blue beyond.As mentioned above, there is no reason to go into a Rolex Submariner history lesson here; however, the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea with D-Blue dial (a variant of the original Deepsea that was first unveiled in 2008) has a very distinct connection to our world’s deepest waters.The origins of this piece come from Rolex’s involvement in (read: sponsorship of) James Cameron’s deep dive into the Mariana Trench. Though not limited in production, the piece is commemorative of the 2012 dive, and features a gradient blue to black dial that mimics the loss of light as one descends into the ocean’s depths. Additionally, the green chosen for the DEEPSEA text on its dial is matched to the color of Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger Submarine that took a prototype Rolex watch all the way down into the trench affixed to one of its robotic arms.The legacy of Jacques-Yves Cousteau is unparalleled in the world of underwater exploration, and many years ago (back in 2004 to be precise), IWC decided to become a partner of the Cousteau Society – a non-profit organization looking to continue the initiatives set out by Jacques-Yves several decades prior. From the onset of the partnership, IWC has included special limited-edition Aquatimer models in their collections, with a portion of the proceeds of each watch headed towards the organization.Of their bigger undertakings, Cousteau’s famed research vessel (named ‘Calypso’) was raised from the sea floor after sinking on account of an incident in Singapore in 1996. Progress on Calypso has been slow-going, and a fire on the ship while docked in Turkey two years ago has slowed things further. Naturally, there are rumors swirling that a redesign of the IWC Aquatimer line across the board will appear in conjunction with the vessel’s unveiling.
Compared with other common IWC Mark series models, this Mark XVIII titanium watch is very outstanding. Grey Titanium case, track-style minutes markers, brown dial and brown leather straps, these elements make the watch full of vintage flavor. The replica is a really a big surprise from GS factory.IWC Portuguese is a very famous watch and it is one of the best-selling dress watches in the world. In our watch market, there are three factories at least that are manufacturing IWC Portuguese watches, ZF, YL and 3A. Among them, ZF is the biggest and most famous one. Actually ZF makes the best quality replica IWC Portuguese watch, they are also the first factory that started to clone genuine IWC Caliber. Like this replica, ZF equipped a clone 79350 movement inside, this is a great improvement, because it is the first time for a factory to use a cloned IWC Caliber in a IWC Portuguese chrono replica watch, we only saw factories used such type of movements in IWC non-chrono Portuguese. The replica is a V2 edition, the V1 uses an Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, now the V2 uses a new clone 79350 like genuine IWC Caliber. This is the biggest difference, while there are certainly other improvement made on this latest version, let’s check it carefully in the following article.
Noob V9 Rolex GMT Master II 116710BLNR and 116710LN Finally Released Noob Rolex GMT Master II 116710BLNR This is a big news in the beginning of 2019, Noob just gave our watch fans a big surprise.

In my opinion, Rolex is the brand that is mostly willing to use precious metals such as yellow gold and rose gold. Besides Submariner, Datejust may be the best-selling Rolex watch and is the widely used dress watch by men, it is very suitable for men who have a successful career. A Rolex Datejust watch is a perfect match of their shirts and business suits.
Rolex is a true pioneer in watchmaking technology. Among their most significant inventions is the Submariner, which was the first watch ever to offer water-resistance of up to 100 meters. The now-iconic Rolex Two-Tone Submariner was the inspiration behind the flourishing dive watch market as we know it, and almost every dive watch in existence today was in some way influenced by the Rolex Submariner. While it was developed for use while underwater, the Submariner has since become a coveted timepiece among collectors of all professions. The line is varied and offers a feature set to suit almost any wrist. However, today we will take a closer look at an earlier model of their Rolesor two-tone steel and gold Submariner ( Rolex Submariner two-tone ). The Rolex 16613 Two-Tone Submariner.The Rolex Submariner was developed in 1953 and made its official debut a year later at Basel Watch Fair 1954. As previously mentioned, the collection was the first to offer resistance to depths of up to 100 meters, which would then evolve into 200 meters, before increasing once again to its current and impressive 300-meter depth rating. In true Rolex fashion, the Submariner was carefully refined over the years to include a safer unidirectional bezel, improved materials, and a higher-beat movement.The original model was presented in stainless steel with an all-gold variation following in the late 1960s and a two-tone option coming to market in 1984 via the ref. 16803. The ref. 16613 was released a few years later in 1988 and enjoyed a long production run before being discontinued and replaced in 2009 with the current Cerachrom ceramic bezel 6-digit ref. 116613, marking the end of the aluminum bezel Rolex Submariner two-tone watches.
Are they likely to issue a Coke at some point in the future? It is impossible to tell, to be honest. There is already a decent amount of color in the range, with the blue and black ‘Batman’ pieces and the pair of ‘Root Beer’ examples. And with there actually being a total of three Pepsi’s – one in steel and two in white gold – maybe Rolex has decided that’s enough.That being said, the Fat Lady (that ref. 16760 original) turns 40 in 2023, and as already discussed, the brand loves a birthday. So, just maybe…Until then, we will have to content ourselves with the references available on the pre-owned market.Just about the rarest thing in the world (the world of horology at any rate) is for Rolex to succumb to audience pressure. Yet, in 2009, that’s exactly what happened when that venerable old warhorse, the Datejust, was issued in a new 41mm size. The largest Datejust option had been 36mm model since before the Earth cooled, but the trend for ever-increasing watch sizes was one the brand could only ignore for so long.However, the so-called Datejust II not only added a significant 5mm but also changed the proportions of the watch’s individual elements. The bezel grew broader, and while the case got wider, the bracelet didn’t, leading to thicker lugs. Overall, it traded the former model’s graceful, sweeping lines for a more muscular sporty profile, adding bigger hour markers on the dial to fill up the extra room.
At 3 o’clock position is showing the date, and what I have to mention is this special Rolex water-drop design, which can below up the number on the screen. I should day they do a good job on this replica watch too. And, the front cover is made of sapphire crystal, which is anti-scratch well.The bezel is made of stainless steel and gold, the triangle-shape design looks very shinning and fancy in the light. On the right side is the crown which we can use it to adjust the time, day and date. The Rolex logo looks as nice as the original. The strap and clap are made of stainless steel and gold, matching the case perfectly. Look at the gold strap part from the side, we can see it is still in golden not like other versions which you will see the stainless steel color. Open the clasp, all the information on it is the same as Rolex original model.So, what is inside this fancy case to drive it? It is a Seagull movement, and this is not like the replica Swiss movement we used to see in the market. This movement is working stable and last for long. Still this edition is a great choice for Rolex and stainless steel watch fans. Of course, this is also a great replica watch for those can hold this style well.Replica Rolex Datejust II 41mm 116333 Green Rome Markers Rolex is the mostly replicated brand in our watch industry, so there are a lot of watch factories here manufacturing Rolex replicas in different quality level. If you want to get the best one, you must know which factory is good at making replica Rolex. According to my knowledge, Noob factory makes good quality Rolex Submariner, while Changrong is producing nice gold Rolexs, which means that the gold coating on Rolex made by Changrong factory lasts longer and does not easily fade. Although Submariner is my most favorite Rolex whether as a formal dress watch or as a diver’s timer, sometimes a fresh Datejust will fit your business suits better, just like this one, Datejust II 116333, actually a lot of people asked me the price of this Rolex, I can not tell you its exact price because several factories make it and they have different price level. Like this one I will give a review, is sold at $610 usd, but there are cheaper ones sold at around $360 usd. So, sometimes if you want a better replica, you are also expected to be charged a large amount of money, not all replicas are cheap. The biggest advantage of Rolex Datejust 116333 replica lies in its bezel, crown and bracelet, which are wrapped 18K gold, and it is much thicker than the gold coating on common Rolex, never fade even after being worn for 2 or 3 years. The case is brushed except four polished lugs, fluted bezel, the golden tone is just echoing with the golden middle links on bracelet. The dial is also very beautiful, these contrasting color difference forms a clearly readable dial, large grey dial is set in a 41mm case, these hour markers are big Rome numbers in green color, which forms a high contrast with the gray background. Central hands are also in gold color, both hour and minute hands have white lume material applied. White minute scales are on the outer dial, there you can clearly see Rolex Rehaut that could be only found on some 1:1 high end replica Rolex.The green Rome hour markers on the dial are a bright spot of the replica, it is also one of the main reasons why there are a lot of people loving this Datejust. Besides, the replica Datejust is equipped with a Sea-Gull Clone 2836 movement, it is considered to be the most stable replica movement in watch industry. If you pursue perfection, the watch could also be equipped with a real ETA movement.Replica Rolex GMT Master II 116710 BLNR Ceramic Watch with Clone 3186116710 BLNR is the best-selling GMT Master II among replica watch field because of its eye-catching black and blue bezel. Factories like Noob in our market have already been devoted into improving every detail to manufacture the best quality replica Rolex. 116710 BLNR is the product of Noob, and it is the seventh time for the factory to make some important changes on this replica watch, although the previous versions have been perfect enough. Now the mostly asked question about the difference between V7 and V6s by my blog readers, here I must clarify the thing clear, it lies in the clasp engraving, which is polished on V7 and satin-finished on V6s.One of my clients who live in France bought two 116710 BLNR from me, the only feedback he left for us is it is a flawless replica. If you have been focusing on development of replica watch industry for years, you will know how much progress those factories have made in recent years, there are no big factories that were manufacturing such high quality replica watches before, only some small factories made some cheap replica Rolex in the past, the best were those medium quality ones. Rolex also added a lot of anti-fake features in their recent models, however, this exactly has made the factory overcome difficulties to research genuine models to produce more better 1:1 replica watches, now, every replica Rolex watch coming from big factories has all necessary features which you could find on a genuine Rolex. Please read the following specifications of this replica Rolex GMT Master II.Movement: Clone Rolex 3186, functional GMT Case: 40mm*13mm, 316L Stainless Steel Bezel: Blue/Black Ceramic Dial: Black with Superlume Hour Markers Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown at 6 o’clock Clasp: Rolesor Type .
