The Rolex Submariner has been a part of the Rolex catalog for well over 60 years. As expected, the famed dive watch has undergone plenty of design and mechanical enhancements over the past six decades, including the all-important timing bezel. Read on to discover all the different types of bezels of the Rolex Submariner.When Rolex debuted the Submariner in 1953, the stainless steel dive watch included a rotating bezel marked to 60 minutes to allow divers to track immersion times. The steel bezel turned both ways for simple timing adjusting, the edge of the bezel was knurled for easy gripping underwater, and the insert was fashioned from black aluminum.The printed 60-minute scale on the earlier versions included markings for every 5 minutes, alternating between batons and numerals. By the late 1950s, Rolex started to include hash marks for the first 15 minutes on the bezel followed by 5-minute markings.Around 1969, Rolex introduced the first yellow gold Submariner, the Submariner Date ref. 1680/8. Accordingly, the knurled rotating bezel was fashioned from 18k yellow gold. What’s more, the Rolex Submariner ref. 1680/8 now offered the choice of either a black or blue aluminum bezel insert and matching dial.
As previously mentioned, the case also received a ceramic “Cerachrom” insert, which is virtually scratch-proof and will not fade and lose its vibrant color like aluminum. The ref. 116613 is also available with Rolex’s patented “Chromalight” lume on the dial, which offers a bright, blue glow for up to 8 continuous hours (as well as larger plots). Similar to the ref. 16613, the newer model Submariner Rolex 116613 is also available with either a blue or black dial and bezel combination. However, the Serti dials on the 116613 only come in blue or black (rather than champagne or silver), and do not feature sapphires set into the markers on the 6, 9, and 12 o’clock locations. Instead, ref. 116613 Serti dials only have 8 diamonds set in them, and feature lume-filled indexes for the 6, 9, and 12 o’clock hour markers.Both the Submariner 16613 and 116613 run on the Rolex Caliber 3135 perpetual movement with a 48-hour power reserve. However, the version of the Cal. 3135 inside the newer ref. 116613 is fitted with an upgraded paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring for better resistance to shocks and temperature variations.
The outside appearance has already been copied to be 100% the same as genuine, now powerful factories like AR, JF and Noob turned to clone Rolex Caliber and improve their stability. The following replica watch is from N maker, it is a 41mm Datejust in two tone style. Let us see the watch specification first.Movement: Clone Rolex 3235, 28800bph, The Same Construction as Genuine Rolex 3235 CaliberCase: 41mm, 18K Wrapped Rose Gold, Fluted Bezel Crystal: Sapphire Dial: Rose Gold with Lume Hour Markers and Hands Band: Two Tone, 18K Wrapped Rose Gold, Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 50m With Box: Yes The specification says it is two tone style and has wrapped rose gold coating on bezel and bracelet, but it seems to be in champagne gold, not rose gold. However, the gold tone looks fine to me. The watch is 41mm in diameter, I like such big-size watch, the dial looks large and generous because of 41mm case, long and slender second hand is sweeping the whole champagne gold dial, it works smoothly and convinces you the replica is powered by a high quality automatic movement. Seeing from the case, fluted bezel and crown are all applied 18K wrapped gold, gold coating is thick and will not easily fade unless you scratch it with a hard object. Unlike the bracelet, the case lugs are polished, not brushed, so the watch reflects two types of case processing.The dial features bar-shaped hour markers that filled with white luminous material. These hour markers also have edge in golden color. The date window at 3 o’clock features a correct magnifier, black date font is in the correct thickness in white date background. Now you can see such high quality Rolex replica watch has a tiny laser crown logo in crystal at 6 o’clock.Two tone bracelet is made of 316L stainless steel and has 18K rose gold plated on the three sections of central links. The bracelet is brushed, while the clasp is polished with right and delicate engravings. Because of the thick rose gold coating on case and bracelet, this replica Rolex is sold at an expensive price, please leave your comment if you are interested in buying one.I never saw such a sports watch with gems, this YachtMaster was published by Rolex in 2017 Basel, its reference number is 116695SATS, the gems bezel makes the watch more suitable for women. It is a great idea to prepare such a beautiful gift watch for your wife or some people important in your life, she will love it. In my memory, Rolex used such gems bezel in their GMT Master series, it is the first time to be used on YachtMaster. When wearing such a brilliant watch on the beach, you will absolutely become the focus.
In recent years, Rolex was more likely to use precious metals such as rose gold, platinum and diamonds on their sports series like Submariner, YachtMaster and GMT Master, this makes these sports watches suitable for more occasions. Now, let’s read the following article to see what makes this watch so impressive – the most exquisite diving watch in the world.The replica is made by Noob, case is in rose gold color, the gold coating is very thick, 40mm case meets the current big watch trend for most people, one piece of stainless steel was moulded by machine to ensure the case was 1:1 replicated from original. The bezel is the biggest selling point, embeded with colorful diamonds, this design reminds me another diamond watch of Rolex – Rainbow Daytona. This YachtMaster is exactly the ‘Tutti Frutti’ of Rolex.Black dial features blue superlume on markers and hands, which are filled white luminous material and surrounded by rose gold frame. Date is shown through the window at 3, with a magnifier on top face. The crystal uses thick sapphire and its hardness is tested by Noob factory.The movement is based on genuine Japanese Miyota automatic, although the factory modified it to the look of Rolex Cal.3135, it has a lower repairing rate than other automatic movement used in replica watches.The watch comes with one pair of rubber band in black, if you like leather strap, I can send you one pair for free. By the way, no original box is attached for this Rolex, you need to pay extra dollars to buy, and the watch has been tested to be 50m waterproof. Why not start to prepar one diving watch for your hot summer?In past a few months, every one has focused their attention on the 2017 BaselWorld watch exibition, so was I. Every year a lot of Swiss brands would publish a lot of new models, which were made with new breakthrough watch-making technology, especially Rolex, they will bring some surprising gifts to you guys in Basel every year. This time, I will introduce a monster to you, it is the most professional diving watch series of Rolex, yes, it is Sea-Dweller, look at the red lettering on black dial, red “SEA-DWELLER”, very obvious. We all know Sea-Dweller is famous for their superior waterproof performance because it is specially made for professional divers. However, this new Sea-Dweller is also very good for you guys who may be not expert divers. 43mm in case diameter, not big and just like the size of Black Submariner, it will be under control of your wrist. And the new Sea-Dweller 126600 is very similar to Submariner because of its Cyclops. I can not find such a feature on previous Sea-Dweller models. So this watch will be a good choice for watch fans who like a Submariner-style Sea-Dweller professional diver’s watch.It is already not a secret that our fake watch factories will go to Basel watch exibition, why did they go there? Not only they love watches, but they also wanted to buy some so could manufacture the latest replicas of these new watches. The main reason is that they want to do business and earn a lot of money. By the way, some factory managers really did well in this area. Such as BP, which made this replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600. According to my knowledge, BP is the first factory to publish this Sea-Dweller replica watch, and the watch quality is top, with a very considerable price, I think it is worth for you to get this replica watch.Let us talk movement first, it is genuine ETA 2836. Beating at rate of 28800BPH.
