Looks-wise, the watch that comes the closest to an all-steel model is now the ref. 116509, which is cast in solid 18k white gold and has the price tag to prove it.That means a delve into the archives is the only avenue still open should you want one, and it is the previous generation that is proving the most affordable. The ‘Zenith’ Daytona ref. 16520, powered by the fabled El Primero, is still the gateway into steel Cosmograph Daytona ownership.Of course, the word ‘affordable’ is all relative. Prices start at around the $20,000 mark, which is a hefty slice of anyone’s money. Yet beyond being one of the most handsome and capable models ever made, any Rolex Daytona represents perhaps the surest investments watch collecting has to offer.It’s a tough call, but the starkly austere Explorer might well be the watch that has changed the least (visually) over its 70-year run. That is even for a manufacture that updates aesthetics at the glacial pace that Rolex does. Every reference, from the prototype Pre-Explorer ref. 6150 from 1952 up to the last of the ref. 114270s in 2010, have been simple three handers, with the beautifully legible white on black 3/6/9 dials, housed in a 36mm case.Then along came the ref. 214270, identical in the detailing but the first example to grow beyond the dimensions in 58-years, measuring 39mm. It increased in size for the same reason as the Datejust – fashions demanded it – but unlike that watch, it became the only option available.That is no bad thing. The Explorer is perhaps the last of the true tool watches in the Rolex catalog. There is nothing about any iteration of the watch that is designed to look flashy or draw attention to itself, and a few extra millimeters doesn’t change that. The new Explorer is basically the old Explorer, and whichever you choose will come down to whether your wrist size suits one or the other.Its strength has always been in its simplicity, and it remains one of the best value for money prospects on the pre-owned Rolex market. $5,000-$6,000 is the buy-in point for a well set up example of the ref. 114270 or, if you fancy going the real vintage route, the celebrated ref. 1016 (personal timepiece of James Bond author Ian Fleming) starts at a little over twice that. Tough, elegant and perfectly built, the Explorer has always stayed true to Rolex’s roots.
The case is fully made of black ceramic, it is a pioneering work Omega made in their Planet Ocean. The case is brushed, while the edge of lugs is polished, seeing the side, the case has a graceful arc shape. The bezel uses high grade black ceramic with silver engravings.

The dial has a correct hand stack, hour markers and hands have silver edge and are applied with white lume material, the dial has two different lume colors, hour markers and hour hand will emit strong blue light, minute hand will emit strong green light in the dark. On the outer dial, there are 24-hour gmt markers, GMT hand in the center has an orange triangle mark that is also filled with luminescence. This Deep Black Planet Ocean is a GMT watch, if Omega makes a full ceramic Planet Ocean without GMT function, that will be very popular.
The Omega Aqua Terra 150M replica uses Miyota 8215 as base movement because the factory did some modification on its plates and auto rotor. If you would not compare the mvoement with a genuine Omega 8500 Caliber, then you will give a perfect score to this clone movement, because there is a big tell you can easily identify on this replica movement, that is the golden balance wheel, while genuine movement uses black silicon material on this part. However, among all replica watches, the ones that are equipped with Miyota 8215 movement have the lowest repair rate, that is the main reason why a lot of people prefer this replica.For most watch fans who want a very stable dress watch, this replica Omega is worth buying.
In a word, the replica Rolex is currently the best blue Submariner 116619LB.The case is made of 316F stainless steel and measured to be 40mm in diameter, it is brushed in whole surface, one-piece forged case has better water resistant performance, including screw-in crown, you do not need to worry water enter into when washing hands or swimming. The bezel is blue ceramic and has silver markers engraved, there is a pearl on bezel that has silver edge. These bezel markers look more delicate than that of previous versions. Because of one-piece forged case, there is no gasp between the bezel and case. Blue dial echoes with blue ceramic bezel, white printings and superlumed hour markers as well as hands, the inner bezel has correct Rolex Rehaut engraved like genuine, as well as unique reference number.Using solid links on stainless steel bracelet, which is new Oyster style, the replica features a similar weight to original 116619LB. The bracelet is also one of the places I am pround of. Its polishing and craftmanship are better than any other versions. The factory researched the genuine watch and produced the bracelet that features the same folding structure as original. When opening the clasp, you can find the blacken Rolex Logo and other engraving, these are all done by laster machine, you can always tell a good quality replica from poor ones by checking these small details. Besides the super blue dial lume, the replica is powered by a super clone 3135 calibre, which is the latest 3135 movement in our watch market, it could be more stable and accurate than other 3135 replica movements. But you could also buy one with Asian 2836 at lower cost.Here are some pictures I just took from the watch that was borrowed from my watch supplier. By the way, the replica is also made by N factory, which is the pioneer that has been manufacturing such high quality replica Rolex for years.I have introduced the black Submariner 116610 LN before, it is a great work from Noob factory, the replica is the latest V6s version in our market and regarded as the best Submariner replica currently.

I think most of you guys have been waiting for a long time to get such great Daytona replicas. Let me show how perfect the four Daytona replicas are.Case is a pity because Noob does not use 904L stainless steel on them. It is made of 316L stainless steel, but that’s enough. If you are seeking for perfection, maybe in the next improvement, Noob will use 904L stainless steel on case and bracelet material on these four Daytona watches. In my opinion, 316L is good enough, you know, it has been used as main watch material for a lot of years. The four Daytona replica watches here are all 40mm in case diameter, and 13mm thick. For 116500, the bezel uses black ceramic, and 116520 uses stainless steel bezel. The inside case back is engraved with correct information like genuine. The case back is screwed down, it is sealed perfectly.For 116500 and 116520, each has black dial and white dial available. Three subdials are working like genuine Rolex Daytona.
