The chemical composition of synthetic green sapphire includes copper and aluminum oxide, with the copper being the element that is ultimately responsible for its signature green hue. The process of synthetic sapphire production is an expensive and exacting one; however, the additional obstacles that accompany the addition of copper – and the precision required to achieve the right amount of green tint without compromising the strength or clarity of the crystal are likely responsible for its exclusive use on the Rolex Milgauss line of watches.When synthetic sapphire is manufactured, the material has to “grow” over the course of a period of several weeks. Particles attract to one another, forming layers that fuse together to create a dense and ultra-hard substance. The end result of production is a “boule” – a solid piece of synthetic sapphire shaped like a chunky cylinder, which is then cut and shaped to its necessary dimensions.Due to the high costs of production, most watch crystal manufacturers cut their synthetic sapphire boules in a perpendicular fashion, as to maximize the number of crystals that can be created from a single boule. Although this is entirely unconfirmed, it is rumored that Rolex cuts the boule along a diagonal axis to maximize the clarity and strength of the finished crystal. In addition to complicating the cutting and shaping process itself, cutting the boule along a diagonal axis significantly increases the amount of waste, which further adds cost to an already expensive manufacturing process.Despite not making an appearance until just over ten years ago, the green sapphire crystal has quickly become one of the defining characteristics of the Milgauss line. Its pale green tint possesses no functional advantages over a traditional, clear/uncolored synthetic sapphire crystal; however, the green crystal that is exclusively fitted to the Rolex Milgauss 116400GV is one of the primary reasons that individuals seek out this particular reference. The green crystal is something entirely unique to the Milgauss collection and is not something that is found on any other Rolex watch, past or present.
The case is 40mm in diameter and made of 316L stainless steel, round bezel is very thin, so we can see a very big dial under the sapphire crystal. Whole case is brushed, including four lugs. The face of bezel is also brushed while polished on edge. Like genuine, you can operate the two pushers to start or stop chronograph. Case back is locked by four screws, there are vertical brushing on the center. When open the case back, the inside has beautiful geneva stripes and correct engravings like genuine watch.Dial is blue. There are two small dials at 6 and 12. The subdial at 6 o’clock is displaying small seconds, while the subdial at 12 o’clock is for 30-minute chronograph. The two small dials are sunken on the main blue dial, together with the beveled inner bezel, the whole dial shows a 3D visual effect. Besides, silver Arabic numeral hour markers are also three-dimensional.
Date Sizes While the first sizes of the Datejust and the Date were 36mm and 34mm (respectively), Rolex did add more size options to both collections over the years. For instance, somewhat puzzlingly, Rolex has in the past produced the Lady-Datejust and the ladies’ Date with 26mm cases, and the mid-size Datejust and mid-size Date with 31mm case sizes. However, perhaps for greater clarity between the two models, Rolex has since discontinued all of the smaller Date versions and currently only makes the Date 34. Additionally, Rolex has also ceased making the Lady-Datejust 26, replacing it with the Lady-Datejust 28. Furthermore, over the course of the last decade, Rolex has also added larger options for the Datejust.Rolex Datejust SizesThe Rolex Datejust has always offered far more metal choices and different style options compared to the Rolex Date. Although there are some vintage and discontinued Date 34 models in solid gold and two-tone steel and gold, Rolex has now simplified the choices to just two: full stainless steel or stainless steel with a white gold fluted bezel, both of which have 34mm cases and are fitted with Oyster bracelets.
I like this type of YachtMaster Rolex, its ocean blue color attracts me. There was one YachtMaster II replica in full stainless steel published several years ago, it was highly welcomed and has driven a crazy sale record, now still a lot of people are pursuing the white steel YachtMaster II. About this two tone model, although not my favorite, it is still a great replica watch.Rolex YachtMaster II 116681 Blue There are blue, rose gold, red, white and black colors gathered on this watch. Bezel tooth, case buttons and middle links of bracelet are all plated with rose gold. Blue bezel insert is ceramic made with golden engraving. On white dial, the blue small second hand is running on subdial at 6, this subdial is in rose gold color with black markers. Square hour markers have golden frame with white luminescence filled inside. Hour markers, hour and minute hands will emit strong blue light in dark place. The big triangle hand on the centre is for countdown function, but on this replica, this feature is false, that means this triangle red hand is not working. That’s reasonable, because this replica is only equipped with a Shanghai 7750 chronograph movement.Rolex YachtMaster II 116681 Buttons Specification of Rolex YachtMaster II 116681: Movement: Shanghai 7750 Chronograph, 28800VPH Case: 44mm*14mm, 18K Two Tone Plated on 316L Steel, Blue Ceramic Bezel Crystal: Sapphire Dial: White Band: Two Tone. 18K Rose Gold Plated. New Rolesor Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 50m Replica Rolex Daytona Two Tone Watch – The Luxury Classic in Sports Rolex Daytona Two Tone Watch Replica J12 Rolex Daytona In my opinion, among all Swiss watches, Daytona is considered to be the only luxury sports watch made with precious metals. Other pure sports brands like Hublot and Tag Heuer do not have such noble temperament. Lots of people, including women, like Daytona very much, not only because it is a Rolex watch, but Daytona also matches all kinds of suits well. Rolex is the dream watch, but even the entry-level Air King is beyond affordability of most people, so don’t say the more expensive Daytona. However, here is a chance to get a replica Rolex Daytona watch, which is a perfect alternative of genuine because the replica is well finished and comes from a big factory here named J12, so there is no need to worry about its quality because such grade of replica in our market is the most sought after watch, it can last for years with proper maintenance. JF Rolex Daytona Replica Rolex Daytona Black Dial You guys who seek for Daytona replica watches will doubt its chronograph function, but the chronograph is real, and it works exactly like genuine Daytona watch. About movement, the replica is equipped with an Asian Valjoux 7750, it is actually a Chinese chronograph movement, based on Shanghai 7750, which is installed in high end chronograph replica watches.
