All good things must come to an end, and it is as true at Rolex as anywhere else. Over the years, certain pieces have disappeared from the portfolio, either replaced with an updated version or else retired completely. Rolex actually seems to make a habit of discontinuing many of their references with little or no warning, and for reasons only they understand. In some instances, the withdrawn watches are real fan favorites, and it leaves potential customers with just one option to get hold of them.Below, we take a look at five of Rolex’s most-loved discontinued models that are now only available on the pre-owned market.Rolex has a history of marking the key birthdays of a number of its icons with some kind of out-of-the-ordinary celebration, and in 2003, the Rolex Submariner celebrated its 50th anniversary. The world’s most famous luxury dive watch marked its half-century in style with the release of the ref. 16610LV, not only the first Submariner to be fitted with a black Maxi dial, but also the first to have a green bezel.Major departure that it was for the model, it became something of an opinion splitter. There had been variations on the traditional black bezeled pieces before – blue versions (although only on gold and two-tone pieces) being the most common; however, the emerald surround on this anniversary edition led to it picking up a nickname from both the ‘for’ and ‘against’ camps. Those who loved the new colorway called it the Kermit; those less keen christened it the Vomit Sub.
This replica watch has elegant temperament and simple appearance as a whole. It still with the classic dial style of IWC, which may have ultra big diameter, yes, it has 44.5mm. Its case was made of solid stainless steel 316. There are steel rail-mounded minute scales on the black dial. The hour hand was steel leaf hand which was the representative of elegance. The slender hands help us to read time clearly. What’s more, it has set a seconds sub-dial at 6:00 position. The transparent sapphire crystal was so clear and can be wear resistant. Correspondingly, the case back also used this crystal. This considerate design gave us a precious opportunity to observe the operation of movement clearly. This replica matched with a black leather strap, even its stitch was also black. Along with the black dial which has steel hands inside. I think it can highlight your shrewd and capable temperament obviously when you wearing this wrist watch. The thickness of case only has 11.5mm, really thin in shape, which may be more fit for wrist with comfortable wearing experiment.
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.
The replica Daytona watch is made by WW factory, we call it WWF. You know, the Hublot Classic Fusion replica from WWF is very hot in recent months, especially JJ factory was closed several months ago, now, only two factories in our market make replica Hublot Classic Fusion watches, WWF and TWF.On the case, WWF uses real forged carbon material, the case has very special prints. The bezel has white and red markers, which exactly echo with the red stitching on black nylon strap. The forged carbon case has a good finish, and the watch feels very comfortable when you wearing it, it has a very light weight. Case back is made of 316L stainless steel that has been blackened.The dial is black and has white printings, central second-chronograph hand is in bright red color, this long and big hand works for seconds chronograph, it has the same function as real Daytona watch. The red hand and “DAYTONA” form a high contrast with the black dial background. Three small dials have real functions, sub-second hand is working on the small dial at 6 o’clock, other two small dials present minute and hour chronograph.Although the replica has the same chronograph function as real watch, it has a thicker case than genuine. If you want the case to be exactly 1:1 replicated from original, which I mean the replica Daytona has the same thickness as genuine, then you need to go with a Daytona replica watch from Noob or AR factory. The Daytona watches from these two factories absolutely represent the most advanced watch-making technology in our market, they also have better case finish and 1:1 original case profile.However, if you want to try something that looks fresh, then this carbon Daytona watch will be a good start.
Now, back to this Noob watch, yes, when talking about Noob factory, does thie factory have an online website? Some people will ask. No, this factory does not open sites online. The Daytona replica shown here is the newest V2 edition from Noob factory. Compared with V1, this version has a much slimmer movement. First, the watch is made of better material 904L stainless steel, whether the lugs and clasp, there are correct engravings. There are same correct engravings on the back side of the case back and movement plates. The movement plates have Rolex SEALs, the entire movement is decorated to the lookf of genuine Rolex 4130.The dial is blue, it has special sunray patterns, the texture is high quality. I do not know how did the factory do, but it really looks high quality. All hour markers have been filled with quality Swiss lume material, they will have a strong lume light in the dark conditions.The replica is equipped with a super clone 4130 movement. It is the best quality chronograph movement in replica watch market. Compared with the movement installed in ARF Daytona, this super clone 4130 movement can achieve a full chronograph function. By the way, the replica watch comes with one pair of free short rubber strap. The following are details of the replica.Movement: Super Clone 4130, Decorated Movement Plates and Auto Rotor to Look of Rolex Calibre 4130 Case: 40mm*12.5mm, Solid 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Black Ceramic Crystal: Sapphire with Tiny Rolex Crown Logo at 6 o’clock Dial: Blue with Working Subdials, Blue Superlume on Markers and Hands Bracelet: Top Quality Black Rubber with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 30m Like the black Submariner 116610LN, 116610LV is also very popular among Rolex watch fans in various watch forums, both 116610LN and 116610LV are the Rolex watches that are mostly replicated by a lot of factories in Chinese market, in my memory, these factories are BP, J12, ARF, Noob, V9, ZZF, KSF, DJF, etc, I can not even count. However, among so many factories, their quality is different, so the price is different.
