Although the Rolex Submariner began its life in 1953 as a sturdy no-frills stainless steel dive watch, today, this famed diver is considered to be one of the world’s greatest luxury watches – while still very capable of plunging into the deep to accompany aquanauts. The Sub’s graduation from utilitarian to upscale no doubt began when Rolex introduced the very first Submariner in solid yellow gold. Nothing says fancy like armor made of shiny precious metal. Let’s find out which reference was the first Rolex Submariner gold watch and lay out the details. When your life depends on a limited tank of oxygen strapped to your back, you are naturally more concerned about the passing minutes rather than what day it is. Which explains why early dive models from the 1950s (Fifty Fathoms, Submariner, Seamaster 300, Breitling Superocean, etc.) didn’t worry about putting a date window on the already limited real estate of the dial. The First Yellow Gold Rolex Submariner Not only did Rolex make the Submariner ref. 1680 in stainless steel, but the company also manufactured a solid yellow gold Submariner 1680. It’s important to note that the first yellow Sub is sometimes simply called the yellow gold Submariner 1680 or the Submariner 1680/8; however, it is not the Submariner 16808 – that’s an entirely different generation. Back to the yellow gold Submariner Date 1680. Rolex’s first gold diver made its debut in 1969, flaunting an 18k yellow gold 40mm Oyster case fitted with a matching 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelet. Early examples of the Submariner ref. 1680/8 featured a rotating bezel with a black aluminum insert and a matching black dial.
The Pilot chrono watch has a large case measured to be 43mm in diameter. The case has a round polished bezel contrasting with the brushed case. The case is thick, up to 15mm. The crown and chronograph buttons are set on the right case side, two chronograph buttons are polished and they work the same way as those buttons of genuine watch. Case back is entirely brushed, while sandblasting finish on the center. There are delicate engravings on case back in correct depth. Although this replica has a full chronograph function, please do not operate the chronograph buttons too often. The replica has a thicker case than genuine, we hope ZF could reduce its thickness by modifying its movement inside.
The IWC Portuguese Annual Calendar replica is equipped with an Asia IWC 52850 automatic movement, ZF disassembled all 326 components of original movement, after lots of trials of data analysis, the clone movement looks 90% the same as original 52850, besides, its adjusting method and winding feel are 100% the same as original. Because this IWC Portuguese watch has a see-through case back, so on the replica movement, ZF factory needs to work hard on the movement decoration. The following are photos of four Portuguese Annual Calendar watches.
Ladies Datejust Rolex Watches – Good Gift for Your Girlfriend in 2018 April 33mm Rolex Datejust MOP Dial On my blog, most watches are for men, there are few watches introduced to ladies except some Cartier Ballon Bleu models. I rarely reviewed ladies watches here but does not mean that there are no good quality replicas for women, in fact, manufacturers like Noob, ZF, BP, etc, they all made good quality replica watches for ladies, especially BP factory, the ladies Rolex Datejust watches made by them are selling well online.

I have not heard of VR factory since the beginning of 2018. There are several important models published by Noob and AR factory in recent days, they are Submariner 116610LN, 116610LV, 116520 Daytona, etc. These are the best quality replicas that are not only made with the highest grade 904L stainless steel, but also use the most innovative movement. With so many choices on replica Rolex, some people always asked me for the best one, for example, which factory makes the best Submariner? In my opinion, this depends on how much money you can spend. You can always get a moderate quality Submariner replica from BP facory at a good price, for the best Submariner, I recommend you buy from Noob, which is a big factory that has been famous for producing black Submariner for many years, they have the highest grade version of Black Sub 116610LN. For this two tone Submariner 116613 replica, it is from VR factory, although sold at a high price, its quality could be compared with Noob Submariner’s. VR Factory Rolex Submariner 116613 Replica Its high price lies in two places. First, the 18K gold coating on case and bracelet. Case is not made of 904L stainless steel, but 316L, but the case has thick 18K gold coating, which is measured to be 5 mils. Actually the biggest highlight is the 18K gold coating on bracelet, I have checked the central links of the bracelet, each side has been coated 18K real gold, this is amazing, few manufacturers can do it so well. Bezel is also two tone, blue ceramic bezel insert has golden engravings and clicking tooth. Please check the logo on crown, I think it is closer to genuine Rolex Crown logo thant that of Noob Submariner.VR Factory Rolex Submariner Blue Replica The dial of two tone 116613 is blue, dial printings are in yellow gold tone, hour markers have golden edge and filled with white luminescence.
As a professional diver’s watch, Rolex is willing to uses gold and other precious metal on its Submariner series. In 2017 Basel, Rolex published several new models, but I always think that those Submariner models they published before are the most classic ones, like 116610LN Black Submariner, 114060 No Date model, etc. Today, the 116613 is for Rolex fans who love two tone style. The replica Rolex Submariner 116613 is made by Noob factory, it is V7 version, absolutely the best one currently. Every detail is replicated to be closer to genuine Submariner watch. Especially the yellow gold coating on bezel and bracelet, it is 18K wrapped gold, not plated, so the gold coating will be more durable and not fade. The case is measured to be 40mm in diameter, 13mm in thickness, which is the same as genuine. Case is brushed 316L stainless steel, while the bezel tooth and crown are 18K wrapped gold. Black ceramic bezel insert features engraved yellow gold markers, the bezel is anti-clockwise rotating. Real black ceramic is used to made the bezel insert, is is more scratch resistant than plastic. Black dial echoes with the black bezel, all hour markers feature yellow gold frame and are filled with white luminous material in the centre, plus hands, they will emit blue light in the dark. Like real Submariner, the innver bezel features correct ROLEX Rehaut.
The movement is an Asia Valjoux 7750, which is based on a Shanghai chronograph movement. After being tested for almost ten years, this chronograph movement used in our replica watches are the most stable and reliable.IWC Mark series was specially offered as a military watch in the past, now it has a lot of anniversary models. After almost one hundred years, the appearance of IWC Mark does not have too much change, its simple and elegant design is loved by many people. IWC Mark, which was exclusively supplied for the British Pilots, has left a lot of memories for us. Also as a pilot watch, Breitling looks more professional, Zenith Pilot has more retro flavors, compared with them, IWC Mark is more practical, classic and durable.
The dial is black, it has delicate matte texture. The dial has a very high readability, besides the big hour markers and wide hands, there is also increased luminescence on hour markers and hands to ehance the visibility when you are in dark conditions. This IWC Aquatimer is very like Rolex Submariner, both have robust case, big hour markers, wide hands and strong dial lume. The minute hand is highly recognizable because the orange Swiss lume material is in line with the eye-catching orange 1-15 diving markers on the bezel.The replica watch is equipped with an Asia ETA 2892 automatic movement, which is very reliable and has been used in many replica watches such as Cartier Ballon Bleu, MK IWC Pilot, Hublot Classic Fusion, etc., and these have become the best-selling replica watches in our market.
