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.
First, hour markers and hands on black dial are applied white luminescence, this lume material is imported from Switzerland, its lume color and durability are the same as that used on genuine Submariner watch. The hands, hour markers and bezel pearl all emit green light in the dark. Second, the replica is equipped with a Super Clone Asian 3135 movement, we call this movement SA3135 here. Some people will doubt whether the replica 16610LV is equipped with SA3135 or not, but I have to say ETA 2836 and SA3135 give two different winding feeling, when you have a chance to wind the two movements, you will find their difference easily without opening the case back.Although SA3135 makes the replica closer to genuine watch, I still suggest people buy the replica with Asian ETA 2836, which is much cheaper. Besides, SA3135 movement is completed on the base of a Chinese automatic, which means too many movement parts have been modified on the base movement, I think the stability of SA3135 should be doubted, also its repairing rate may be higher than A2836. That’s my opinion, welcome to leave comments here to describe what’s in your mind.Every tough man will like the watch that has some military style. Today, the replica watch I am going to introduce is an ultimate superior version of Rolex Pro Hunter. It is the best one I have ever met. The watch is made according to genuine 116610 Rolex watch and every tail is 1:1 replicated against the genuine, so watch parts like case, bezel, dial could all be interchangeable with genuine 116610.The Rolex Pro Hunter Submariner replica watch is in whole black because its case, bezel and bracelet all have pvd black coating, so the whole watch looks tough and full of military style, especially with the superlume dial that will glow strong blue light in the dark. The watch is sold at an expensive price, that is $408 US Dollars, but its quality is worth every penny of it. The replica watch is manufactured by a big factory that also makes other quality golden Rolex replicas. The case is 1:1 replicated and has Swiss standard ETA Coating, thick black pvd plating is anti dust and prevent scratches. The bezel is blacken sandwich ceramic insert, diver style bezel has numeral diving scales that are deeply engraved. It is uni-directional and has 120 clicks like the genuine.The movement inside is Swiss ETA 2836, nicle plated movement plates, bridges are modified to the appearance of Rolex Caliber 3135, 25 jewels and beats at 28800bph.

Overall, the Rolex Pro Hunter replica will provide you a high accuracy and stability, it will be a great timepiece for men who like military diving watches.Two replicas of Rolex Submariner 116613 LN made by Noob factory, which is also known as Noob or Noob maker.

The Pearlmaster is the ultimate luxury-oriented Rolex timepiece. Sitting somewhere at the crossroads of watchmaking and jewelry, the Rolex Pearlmaster is exclusively craft from precious metals and always adorned with expertly set gemstones (either diamonds, sapphires, or rubies). Although the Pearlmaster is easily the most lavish and gem-encrusted line of Rolex watches, relatively little media coverage surrounds it, as its sheer opulence places it outside the reach of many consumers.The Pearlmaster was originally introduced in 1992 as a new and slightly larger interpretation of Rolex’s Lady-Datejust line of watches. Over the course of the last quarter of a century, the Pearlmaster has grown in size and evolved in concept to become an entirely separate collection of ultra-premium Datejust watches that blurs the lines between a wristwatch and a piece of jewelry. The “Pearlmaster” name actually comes from the watch’s unique bracelet design with rounded five-piece links and a concealed Crownclasp, which to this day, is specifically reserved for Rolex’s crowning jewelry watches.Today, the Pearlmaster is manufactured in 34mm and 39mm case sizes and is exclusively craft from solid 18 karat gold (yellow, white, or Everose). As far as internal mechanics, the Pearlmaster 34 is powered by Rolex’s Caliber 2235, while the Pearlmaster 39 receives the Caliber 3235. Despite the difference in movements, both watches boast Rolex’s “Superlative Chronometer” certification, which guarantees timekeeping performance to a maximum variance of -2/+2 seconds per day (after casing).
