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.
The GMT-Master’s mechanics permit wearers to read two time zones simultaneously (or three time zones on the GMT-Master II) while its design is oh-so classically cool. A particularly gorgeous version for women is the new Rolex GMT-Master II dressed entirely in solid 18k Everose gold (the brand’s proprietary rose gold alloy) and accented with a two-tone black and brown colored Cerachrom (the brand’s proprietary ceramic alloy) bezel.The watch sports a 40mm case, which at just a hair over 12mm thick, looks great on ladies’ wrist as an oversized and luxurious sports watch. For a tighter fit, removing a link or two from the solid gold Oyster bracelet is a simple process. Plus, Rolex’s Easylink clasp system lets you micro-adjust the bracelet length by 5mm while on the go should cabin pressure cause some wrist swelling. Adjusting local time when you touch down is a breeze thanks to a local hour hand that can advance in one-hour “jumps” while the arrow-tipped GMT hand pointing to the 24-hour bezel lets you know what time it is at home.Packing light is the hallmark of frequent and savvy travelers and when you need an effortless watch to wear on throughout your trip, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual is here for you. A time-only watch means that you don’t have to worry about changing the date and a sturdy and water-resistant (to 100 meters) stainless steel case can keep up with whatever adventure awaits you. The best part of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual line is that it offers a wide range of sizes (26mm, 31mm, 34mm, 36mm, and 39mm) to fit virtually any wrist, and dial styles come in a generous assortment of colors (black, white, purple, blue, pink, and green to name a few) and index styles (Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, and batons).If your travel destination involves packing some swimwear and heading to warmer climates, then the Rolex Yacht-Master is an ideal companion. As its name suggests, the robust Yacht-Master was built for a life at sea yet channels that cruise-collection chic vibe suitable for lounging on the deck.
The GMT Master II ref. 16710 is one of the most iconic and influential examples of the brand’s multi-time zone pilot’s watch. It brought an upgraded case and movement to the line, making it a huge success and leading to its impressive production run of almost twenty years. The ref. 16710 was then replaced by the ref. 116710 in the late 2000s as a completely new generation of Rolex GMT-Master tool watches began to make an appearance with a brand new case and bracelet design, improved materials, and a new movement.Rolex developed the GMT-Master in the early 1950s at the request of Pan Am Airlines. Its release came during the dawn of international flight. The famous air carrier required a dual-time wristwatch to issue their pilots, and the GMT-Master was born. The GMT-Master II was released a number of years later in 1983 with the ref. 16760, and brought with it independent hour hands that allow the wearer to read two time zones on the dial and a third on the bezel.The first GMT-Master II ref. 16760 featured a bulkier case and is often referred to by avid collectors as the “Fat Lady” or “Sophia Loren.” In 1989, Rolex would release a refined variation of the Fat Lady GMT in the form of the sleeker reference Rolex 16710 with a thinner case and movement. The ref. 16710 was well-received among collectors for its upgraded case and movement, and it would go on to become one of the most successful GMT-Master II models, remaining in production for nearly twenty years.A completely redesigned version of the stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II was introduced in 2007, which meant the discontinuation of the long-running ref. 16710. The Rolex 116710 is similar in design as its 5-digit predecessor with an all-steel finish, a perpetual movement with independent hour hands, and a bidirectional bezel; however, that’s where its similarities end. The ref. 116710 is almost an entirely new watch and boasts a redesigned bezel, case, bracelet, and dial, as well as the newer Caliber 3186 perpetual movement.
I did not introduce Da Vinci watch before, however, like IWC Portofino, Da Vinci is also the style I like, its simpleness attracted a lot of watch fans who love simple dress watches with a little vintage style. Like Portuguese, Da Vinci is also regarded as complicated watch of IWC, especially those old models they published before that have a lot of complicated functions such as perpetual calendar. The watch I am going to review is a replica IWC watch, it is IW356601 and made by TW, which is a factory opened by Taiwanese in our market. This IWC Da Vinci replica is powered by Swiss ETA 2892 automatic movement and has hours, minutes, seconds and date functions. Check more specification below.TW factory also makes high quality gold Rolex replicas. It is a great maker in Guangzhou watch market. The watch case is made of 316L stainless steel, it is measured to be 40mm in diameter and 10mm thick, featuring a round bezel that has a smooth polishing. The case has moveable lugs, this is a smarter design and could make the case fit your wrist comfortably. For this simple and ordinary watch, I think it is more suitable for women, while if you guys are searching for such type of timer with some retro design on dial, this watch is your best choice.
These replica Rolex watches have one common big selling point, that’s the 904L stainless steel used on case and bracelet. Yes, AR is the first factory to use 904L stainless steel, now other factories like Noob and VR also followed AR’s pace to use 904L stainless steel on their replica Rolex. Today, I want to introduce a super replica Rolex Daytona watch that features a special green dial. It was produced by AR factory and made of 904L stainless steel, its case has 18K yellow gold coated, case polishing is superior and dial details are very close to genuine, so the replica not only uses top quality watch material, its finish is also in top grade. However, about this Daytona replica watch, there is one place I am not satisfied with, that’s the faux minute and hour chronograph counter. If you know what I mean. This is the common fault among all replica Rolex Daytona watches from AR factory.The Daytona 116508LN replica watch is equipped with a slim chronograph movement, we call it clone Rolex 4130 movement. This is the first slim 4130 chronograph movement cloned in our watch market. It was made by AR, but this factory did not make this movement to be perfect. I mean its functions are not complete. Check the dial, the central second-chronograph hand works for real, but two subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock do not have functions. While in previous Daytona replica watches with Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, the subdial at 3 o’clock is for minute chronograph, the subdial at 9 o’clock is for hour chronograph. While on this replica Rolex Daytona 116508LN, the chronograph function is defective.The case finish is good. There is a thick yellow gold coating on solid 904L stainless steel, the gold coating has reached to be 5 mils thick, AR promised that gold coating will never fade within two years. I do not believe, unless you do not wear this watch every day. The end link of bracelet connects case very well, which looks more natural now. Dial is green, a very special color to match the yellow gold case, but the green color is eye-catching and very convenient for the wearer to read time from dial. By the way, the replica Rolex Daytona will come with a AR’s signature plastic box packaging. The following are watch specification. Movement: Clone 4130 Chronograph with Working Seconds Chronograph, First Slim Chronograph Movement Decorated Plates and Rotor to Look of Genuine Rolex 4130Case: 40mm*13mm, 18K Yellow Gold Coating on Solid 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Yellow Gold Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown at 6 o’clock Dial: Green with Blue Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: 18K Yellow Gold Coating on 904L Stainless Steel, Flip Lock Clasp ater Resistant: 30m
