If you have a vintage Rolex Datejust manufactured prior to the introduction of Caliber 3035, then your particular model is a non-quickset Datejust. To set the date and time on a Non-Quickset Rolex Datejust, follow these steps:Unscrew the winding crown by turning it counterclockwise until it releases from the case.Turn the crown clockwise around 25 times to manually wind the watch (it’s always a good idea to hand-wind the watch while setting it even if it is an automatic movement).Pull the crown out to the last notch.Rotate the crown to advance the timekeeping hands. Keep turning until the correct date appears in the date window. When the correct date appears, you are now in AM hours; now set the time accordingly taking into consideration if it is currently AM or PM.Push the crown all the way back in and screw it down to the case.To set the date and time on a Quickset Rolex Datejust, follow these steps:Unscrew the winding crown by turning it counterclockwise until it releases from the case Turn the crown clockwise around 25 times to manually wind the watch (it’s always a good idea to hand-wind the watch while setting it even if it is an automatic)Pull the crown out one notch to set the date (the timekeeping hands will continue to run in this position).Rotate the crown to adjust the date.

Since 1969, the gold Submariner has become a staple in Rolex’s catalog and has since been joined by two-tone steel and gold Submariner references in addition to 18k white gold Submariner models and even lavish gem-set Submariner examples. It’s clear that there’s no need to choose between a functional dive watch and a luxurious gold dive watch when you can have the best of both worlds in one striking gold Rolex Submariner.Instead of the flat lume plots found on stainless steel Submariners of the era, the yellow gold Submariner 1680 had dials with raised gold hour markers with tritium luminous centers – which eventually picked up their “nipple dial” nickname. Of course, since the Submariner 1680 had a date window, Rolex furnished the acrylic crystal protecting the dial with the customary Cyclops date magnification lens. However, by the late 1960s, the Submariner case had already grown from its original 37mm diameter to the now-standard 40mm (the Submariner ref. 5512 was the first to sport this case size, circa 1959). So, not only did that leave some extra room on the dial for a date window, but since Rolex certainly wanted to grow Sub sales outside of just the dive crowd, fitting a Submariner with a date indication would indeed be a practical addition to a daily sports watch. By the end of the 1960s, the first Submariner Date surfaced as the Reference 1680. Evey one loves Rolex, yes, I love it more than you guys, especially the Daytona, which is a classic Rolex that combines precious metal and practical function. Daytona is suitable for both men and women, sometimes it looks more elegant on women’s wrist, the rainbow Daytona is exactly a Rolex specially created for lady. I also saw some leopard Daytona before, but I never came across a high end replica one. Rolex is the best-selling watch in the world, also loved by you guys who like to buy replicas, so, I will give reviews on more replica Rolex in the future. Today, the watch is a super replica from famous Noob factory, the white steel is the most popular tone among all Daytona models. Those red elements on the dial make the watch perfectly meet its theme – bleeding red race passion.Replica Rolex Daytona 116509-78599 The watch is a 100% 1:1 replica of original Daytona 116509-78599. It is the latest and best version from Noob, other factories like J12 and BP also made this replica, but the best one is from Noob. Maybe the casing and bracelet finishing are better on J12 version, but I have to admit this replica 116509 from Noob factory has the lowest repair rate.Replica Rolex 116509-78599 Daytona Chronograph The black dial is the biggest spot of this replica. Main black background perfectly matches red color. Those printings like “ROLEX” and numeral markers on subdials are all in white color, the white and red colors form a sharp contrast and strong visual storm on the black dial. All hour markers are silver Arabic numbers except three luminous bars at 3, 6 and 9. The centre of the hour and minute hands is also applied white luminescence. Three small hands on the subdials and the big central second hand are in red, which echoes with the red minute scales.About its function, like genuine, small second hand is running on the 60-second subdial at 6, subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock are for minutes and hour chronograph separately. If you want to activate the chronograph function, you just need to push the button at 2, but firstly you need to loose the screw on that button, when you push the 2:00 again, the central red hand will stop. If you want the red hand back to 12:00, just push the button at 4 o’clock. So, the replica Daytona works 100% the same as genuine. To adjust the time and wind the watch, just operate the crown.
However, the dials of the gold Sub were not the standard black dials of their stainless steel counterparts.A few years later, around 1971, Rolex offered another colorway of the yellow gold Submariner featuring a bright blue bezel and dial. The yellow gold Submariners in blue also has the same “nipple dial” design. Particularly intriguing with the blue gold Submariner 1680/8 models is how the dials have transformed into different colors over time including lighter blues, vibrant purples, and rich reddish brown (also known as “tropical dials” in vintage Rolex terminology). Comparing the Rolex Submariner to the GMT-Master II.Two watches, perhaps the two most well-known in Rolex’s sports watch lineup, have amazing similarities, and one can be forgiven for confusing them at a distance. These two watches are, of course, the Submariner dive watch (ref. 116610) and the GMT-Master II (we’ll call it the GMT for short, but we’re talking about the current ref. 116710).The Submariner GMT Master Comparison .The individual histories of the Submariner and the GMT are well documented elsewhere, so let’s compare and contrast the two current models.First, the similarities. The Submariner and the GMT-Master II are luxury watches. Both watches are currently housed in the 40mm diameter so-called “super case” with a ceramic or Cerachrom bezel insert. This case, done in 904L stainless steel, debuted in 2007 with the GMT (the Submariner received the new case a year later). There are minute differences in the two cases, but you need to set them side by side and look very closely to see them.Both watches buckle to your wrist with the current Oyster bracelet.
