While bidirectional rotating bezels may be quicker for wearers to turn to the appropriate spot, as a dive bezel it’s not the best option. If the bezel gets accidentally knocked, this could cause divers to miscalculate how long they have been underwater. Therefore, a unidirectional bezel is more prudent because accidental knocks to the bezel can only result in overestimating immersion time – it’s far preferable to start ascending to the surface earlier or spend longer than necessary at a decompression stop.Rolex began equipping the Submariner with unidirectional bezels starting with the Submariner Date ref. 16800, which was introduced around 1979. The no-date Submariner model received a unidirectional bezel with the introduction of the Submariner ref. 14060 in 1990.Like the previous generation, the new unidirectional bezels included aluminum bezel inserts. In 1983, Rolex introduced the first two-tone Submariner model in the form of the Submariner Date ref. 16803, which sported a yellow gold knurled bezel with a black or blue aluminum insert. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Submariner in 2003, Rolex introduced the stainless steel Submariner Date ref. 16610LV with a green bezel insert.In 2008, Rolex introduced the first Submariner models equipped with unidirectional bezels featuring Cerachrom inserts. Cerachrom is Rolex’s proprietary ceramic alloy that is not only resistant to scratching but also to fading. The 60-minute graduations are cut into the bezel and then the ceramic bezel insert is fully coated with either yellow gold (for yellow gold and two-tone models) or platinum (for white gold or steel models). The gold/platinum is then polished away from the ceramic surface until only the recessed numerals and markings are left with the metal filling.By 2012, Rolex had rolled out the Cerachrom bezels across all Submariner models and color options include black, blue, and green. A quick way to know the color of the bezel is to look at the letters in the reference number: LB (blue bezel), LN (black bezel), and LV (green bezel).
Those bar-shaped hour markers, hour and minute hands are applied with Swiss lume material, the green lume light emiting from the dial will be strong and long lasting. Look carefully at the hour and minute hands, they are not flat, both have several cutting faces, now almost all high quality 1:1 Swiss replica Rolex watches from big factories like Noob and ARF will focus on such details, this is also one of the reason why their replicas are sold at higher prices than others.Whether in material or finish, the bracelet of the replica watch has the same quality level as genuine Rolex watch. Especially the finish, it look much better than Noob’s Rolex. Check the gap between each link, there is no difference with genuine. The two ends of bracelet are also tightly connected with the case, which will not be easily broken. The engravings on clasp look clearer and neater than before.The most important is the movement, which is our most famous Asia ETA 2824-2 automatic, AR factory did not use the clone 3235 this time. This is not a pity, on the other hand, the replica with Asia ETA 2824-2 has been tested to be more accurate and reliable than the replica with clone 3235. There are a lot of photos shared below.Oyster Perpetual 39mm is another entry-level series for men Rolex published, together with Air King, they are the most affordable Rolex watches. With basic hours, minutes and seconds functions, Oyster Perpetual can work very stably and accurately, it will also have a very low repairing rate, even none. Today, I will show you five different Oyster Perpetual 39mm watches, their reference number is 114300, each features a different dial color, which includes white, blue, purple, grey and black. In our market, J12 started to make the replicas of Oyster Perpetual 114300 in 2016, the replicas are made of 316L stainless steel, at the end of 2017, J12 opened another sub-branch named AR, this new factory specilized in manufacturing super quality replica Rolex watches that are made of 904L stainless steel, so AR factory and Noob form a strong competitive relationship in replicating Rolex field.
The dial has a lot things worthy of talking. First it is about the high readability. White dial has thick black Arabic numeral hour markers, the minute markers are also in black color, it is very convenient for the wearer to catch time from the dial. The big triangle marker at 12 and hour markers at 3, 6 and 9 are applied with Swiss Superlume material, so in dark condition, you will find these four markers will emit a strong green light, this improves the dial readability. There are three working subdials, they are sunken from the main dial. Each small dial works well and features a blue hand. Among them, small seconds subdial is at 9 o’clock, 30-minute chronograph counter and 12-hour chronograph counter are positioned at 12 and 6 o’clock repectively. At 3 o’clock, next to the hour marker, there are two square windows, the left window is displaying current day, while the right window is showing date, both have black font. All hands on the white dial use blue color, not only eye-catching, but also give your eyes fresh outlook.
An Asian clone 2836 or 2813 is also available, and the replica with such clone movement is much cheaper. However, if I were you, I will choose a genuine ETA version, because it works more accurate and the watch will serve you longer time.Two big difference lies in the new Sea-Dweller 126600 and previous models, one is the case diameter, the other is that this one has a cyclops at 3 o’clock. The bezel of the replica 126600 looks more robust and the clicking tooth is more obvious than Submariner. By the way, there is blue superlume applied on our markers and hands. Here are some more details of the replica in the following:Movement: Genuine Swiss ETA 2836, Hacking Feature Case: 316L Stainless Steel, 43mm*14mm, Uni-directional Ceramica Black Bezel Dial: Superlumed Black Dial Crystal: Sapphire Bracelet: Steel with Flip Lock Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 50M Hi Susan I would like to give some feedback which you can put on your site if you want to:I have received my Rolex submariner and am so pleased with the watch. The detailing is near perfect and the weight is the same as the original. It is a substantial chunk on your wrist and I love it!I have to admit that I doubted the truthfulness of wrist watch spot when a few days went by leading up to Christmas and I had little response after I had made payment.I quickly became angry thinking that I had been conned.This lack of response was soon explained and since that time I have had prompt responses to my emails all the way up to and post delivery of my watch.I am now in the process of ordering my second time piece!Maybe you will mistake this watch as a Submariner when see it at the first glance. I though it was a vintage Submariner made by Rolex in the 50s, it has a very close appearance to Sub 5513 or 1680. However, the watch is Tudor, which is a sub brand of Rolex. Owning a Rolex is the dream of many people, but it is unreachable because most Rolex watches are sold at high prices, the appearance of Tudor makes their dream come true. Now this replica even makes these people easier to get a good Submariner watch at a very low price.If you did not notice the dial, you could even think it is a Submariner watch. The case construction is the same as Rolex Submariner, although a little smaller than the latter in diameter. Black diving-style bezel is engraved with markers, the bezel is uni-directional rotating, the whole watch is brushed, while the two steel crown protectors are polished. The case back is different from Rolex Submariner, it is engraved with “ORIGINAL OYSTER CASE BY ROLEX GENEVA”, which means that this watch is not only made by Rolex, but also uses Rolex Oyster case. So, you can imagine that the quality of Tudor should not be low, in some way it has the same quality as Rolex.Black dial is protected by domed plexi plastic crystal, the dial exactly reveals the inner vintage texture of this replica. There are oval-shaped hour markers except markers at 3,6,9 and 12 o’clock. These markers are all applied yellowish luminous material, central hour hand is Mercedes-Benz style, the second hand is also very similar to Submariner’s. You can see the size of the hands is a bit smaller than Submariner’s. Under the Tudor Shield Logo, there are printings of “TUDOR” and “OYSTER PRINCE”, which is different from “OYSTER PERPETUAL” on other Rolexs. It is printed “SUBMARINER” at 6 o’clock. In a word, the replica Tudor completely uses the vintage Submariner’s dial style.The bracelet is brushed, it has a Tudor Shield Log engraved on the link at the end. Made of solid 316F stainless steel and uses Oyster structure, the bracelet also features a diver extension like Submariner watch. The replica Tudor Submariner is equipped with an Asian clone ETA 2836 movement, which is one of the mostly used fake movements in our market.Conclusion: the watch is a good try for people who want to wear a vintage Rolex Submariner. You may also know better about the rich history of Rolex through this vintage watch. But if you want an authentic Submariner watch in good quality, then choose 116610 LN.Now my blog has accumulated a lot of vintage watches right now, from Rolex, Omega to Panerai brands, every piece of them is loved by blog readers and has gotten a lot of responding here. Today, I am going to introduce another vintage Rolex, which maybe cause another storm and hot discussion, it is the Double Red Sea-Dweller, which is a vintage watch every one wants to own. Sea-Dweller was born in the 1960s and it is based on Submariner, so you will find those Sea-Dweller watches made in old times had a thin case, which are different from modern Sea-Dweller models that own thick case and crystals.The vintage Double Red Sea-Dweller is a replica of 1665, why it is called double red? The dial tells. At 6 o’clock on top of these white printings, there are two lines of red words, “SEA-DWELLER” and “SUBMARINER 2000”, this is the original of its name.
However, rather than being fitted with the same style of bracelet that is found on other Date watches of the same circa, the reference 15238 Date is fitted with a rivet-link Oyster bracelet in 18k gold. The watch itself is fairly modern, both inside and out; however, this style of bracelet was most commonly seen throughout the 1950s and 1960s, and was phased out long before the reference 15238 ever made its first appearance. The unique combination of modern and vintage aesthetics provided by the unusual presence of the rivet-link bracelet, helps to set the reference 15238 apart and make it unique; however it also makes the watch an excellent option for those in the market for a slightly smaller alternative to the Day-Date that is also still crafted entirely from solid 18k gold.
By the way, this ultimate version has a higher price than older version, but if you buy the stainless steel bracelet edition, we can send you one nato band for free.Now once in a while, there will be a great clone movement appeared in our watch market. For example, Super Copy 3135 in Rolex, 3235, HUB4100, etc. While this replica Omega is equipped with 9300, which is cloned by OM factory and uses new breakthrough watchmaking technology. All Omega chronograph replica watches made before with 9300 did not have full chronograph function, which means hour and minute chronograph hand on subdial at 3:00 do not work. However, with several modification on previous 9300 version by OM factory, now the movement on this replica Omega De Ville has fully working chronograph. This is the biggest selling point of the replica. Let’s look at dial first, there are two subdials, one is for small seconds display at 9:00, the other at 3:00 shows 60-minute and 12-hour chronograph. OM factory spent almost one year to research this movement, finally made it to be a 1:1 clone.
The biggest selling point of the Rolex YachtMaster II below is its thick 18K yellow gold coating, let’s see the details first.JF Rolex YachtMaster Replica Movement: Swiss Valjoux 7750 Chronograph, 28800VPH, Fully Functional ChronographCase: 44mm*14mm, 316L Stainless Steel with 5-mils 18K Yellow Gold Bezel: Blue Ceramic, Rotatable Dial: White Band: 18K Yellow Gold with New Style Rolesor Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 100m Rolex YachtMaster II 116688 Replica The Rolex YachtMaster II replica watch is made by J12, which is a factory that accumulated its popularity for making high end Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replicas in the beginning. Now J12 factory starts to manufacture Rolex replicas, which include Submariner and YachtMaster. In my opinion, in casing work, no factories can compare with J12 because it makes their greatest effort in polishing outstanding case. This gold YachtMaster replica uses 18K yellow gold on stainless steel case, the yellow gold coating is very thick, almost on the bracelet, a lot of Rolex fans asked me whether the gold coating will fade or not, I must say the yellow gold coating will never be worn, the factory uses more advanced technology on gold plating. Rolex YachtMaster II Gold Watch Look at the white dial, its classic YachtMaster style, there are red, blue, yellow gold and green colors on white background. All square hour markers feature yellow gold frame while its centre is filled with white luminescence. Small second hand is in green color, it works smoothly. Central hour and minute hands are in light blue, the color is a little lighter than the blue ceramic bezel.
Other Submariners do not have engravings on case back. From the case back, you can see the pins that connect the case and bracelet, they are crafted to be better so that could firmly connect case head, every piece of the bracelet link is made of solid 316L stainless steel, holding the replica is like wearing a genuine Rolex.In a word, the replica inherits all advantages of Noob 116610 LN Submariner but has its own unique features.This is another great vintage project in the replica watch market, which comes with a replica Rolex Submariner. The replica is manufactured by the same factory as Daytona 6214. I have introduced several pieces of replica watches including Panerai and Rolex in my blog, many of them attracted a lot of readers here and they asked me the price, I have to tell them these vintage watches are all sold at reasonable prices. Ref. 5510 should have be the oldest Submariner model Rolex made, it already had the features of modern Rolex Submariner like Mercedes-Benz hands and rotating bezel, however Submariner 5510 also has the iconic features of its own. Here I will introduce the replica to let you know more about those vintage Rolex watches made in old times.The most outstanding place that also makes the watch full of vintage style lies in its dial, which is black. The hour markers of 3-6-9 and bar-shaped also make it different from other Submariner watches. These hour markers are all applied with yellowish luminescence, so are the hands. The dial printings are also in yellow color except the words “200m = 660ft”. Next to the hour markers, there is a circle of minutes scales in track style, which is also different from modern Submariner watch. We actually call such dial “Explorer Style”. The bezel insert is black and features white printings, there is a pearl at 12 o’clock in red triangle background.
