IW389001 is in whole black, including the dial, it is the model I prefer. While IW389002 has a green dial. There is one little difference between the two watches on the dial, that is IW389002 has a red circle on the center of the dial to display 12 hours. Two subdials are positioned at 12 and 6 o’clock. The subdial with a small red hand is small seconds subdial, while the subdials at 12 o’clock have two small dials in sunken design, the outer one is 60-minute chronograph counter, while the inner one is 12-hour chronograph counter. All hour markers are in white, the markers at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock are applied with luminous material, they will emit a strong green light at night.Compared with the green dial of IW389002, I like the black one of IW389001 more. It has a match of white details in blackground, which greatly increases the dial readability. Black looks cooler too.
The replica is made of 316L stainless steel that is imported from Germany. The case is 36mm in diameter, such size of watch is very suitable for men and ladies who own small wrist. Not like other Tudor Black Bay that features a green, red or a bi-color bezel, this Tudor replica watch has a pure stainless steel bezel that is smoothly polished, the lugs have a brushed surface with polished edge and side. The whole case is not only 1:1 replicated from original, it also has a perfect finish, so that you will get a very comfortalbe wearing.The dial is black, but it also has blue option. Silver snowflake second hand is a classic feature of Tudor. Hour markers and hands have silver edge and are filled with Swiss A grade Super-LumiNova C1. The dial looks very simple and it does not have a date window, means the watch does not have a date function. Well, the watch already has hours, minutes and hands, these functions are very enough for me, about the date, it is not necessary for me, and for a replica, the movement will be more stable and durable if it does not have a date function.Besides its super dial lume, just seeing from its case and bezel design, the replica Tudor watch does not have any sports features, if somebody is willing to buy it, I think he just wants to use it as a dress watch, however, the tan color leather band adds some sporty style for the watch, it looks like Panerai’s ASSO leather band. The back side of the band, I mean the side that contacts your wrist skin, is made of calf skin leather that feels very soft. It is exactly this grey leather band that increases the sporty temperament of the replica watch.It is a long time to wait for this replica Rolex Daytona to arrive, but fortunately I was very surprised by its super quality and finish.
The first ceramic bezel Submariner appeared in 2009 with the introduction of the steel and gold Rolex reference 116613. A stunning blend of classic and modern dive watch design, the ref. 116613 has since become a highly sought-after dive watch, both at retail and on the pre-owned Rolex market. Other metal variations of the ceramic (aka “Cerachrom”) bezel Submariner would later follow. However, none is as intriguing as the Rolex Submariner two-tone example.The Rolex Submariner was introduced to the market in the early 1950s and was the first timepiece in the brand’s catalog to offer water resistance up to 100 meters. This depth rating would eventually be increased to up to 300 meters, where it remains for the modern versions of the Submariner that are sold today. Other notable upgrades made to the line over the past six decades include improved materials (904L Oystersteel), longer-lasting lume (Chromalight), higher-beat Caliebr 3135 perpetual movements, tougher scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, and unidirectional rotating timing bezels.The Submariner was first offered in stainless steel, then in yellow gold. The first two-tone Submariner wasn’t released until 1984, with the reference 16803. This take on Rolex’s famous professional diver introduced the line to a brand new level of collectors who sought a gold Rolex but didn’t have the budget for an all-gold timepiece. Fast forward to 2009 with the release of this article’s featured ref. 116613, a completely redesigned dive watch with an upgraded bracelet and case, a redesigned bezel fitted with a ceramic insert, and a larger display on the dial.The Rolex Submariner is a dive watch legend. From its many appearances in the James Bond franchise to gracing the wrists of numerous A-list celebrities, the Submariner has become one of the most recognizable and coveted luxury watches in the world. The line is varied and offers options in either an all Oystersteel (904L stainless steel), Rolesor (two-tone steel and gold), or solid 18k gold. Today, we will compare two of the most iconic two-tone Rolex Submariner references – the Rolex 16613 and Rolex 116613.
