Today there is quite a high premium on original vintage pieces simply because they’re extremely rare and becoming increasingly harder to find. Decades ago, when people bought luxury watches like Rolex for example, it was perfectly normal for them to get the watch serviced, polished, or have parts replaced if you scratched or dented them up. The problem is that while they were done by the company with authentic later-era parts, they still weren’t original parts or features of the watch. Since this was such a common practice, today it’s really special – and highly valuable – if a vintage watch is totally original.When posed with the question of which watch to buy and when, every industry “expert” probably begins their answer with some variation of the same caveat: Buy for love, not for money. Watch collecting is a wild and unpredictable hobby. Auction prices for classic models have been known to hit eight figures (and then some), but most of the Rolex watches out there depreciate the moment you strap them on your wrist.I have a young friend who is ready to buy his first luxury watch. He’s been thinking about it for weeks (good boy), but every few days he calls me (bad boy) and labors the same point: He wants a watch that is an investment (even worse boy). There exists in modern watch collecting a problem: collectibility is now treated as a selling point. But the problem with everybody and their dogs knowing that something is collectible is that everybody and their dogs are quite likely to collect it.The most expensive wristwatch ever sold was the Rolex Daytona worn by Paul Newman himself. It fetched $17. million at a 2017 auction. That’s a pretty good price for a watch that was so unpopular when it was initially launched that it lingered on dealers’ shelves with relatively few actually making their way onto customers’ wrists. One of those wrists happened to be Paul Newman, who had reputedly been bought the watch by his wife, Joanne Woodward. And it isn’t that she made a sound investment, but rather her purchase created an investment piece by her gifting it to her stratospherically famous husband.
There are also other dial details that tell this Sea-Dweller from others, that is its hour markers are unique, they are oval-shaped, expect a triangle at 12 and other two bar shapes at 6 and 9. All hour markers are a little yellow not white. Minute scales are thin sticks in white. There is a date window positioned at 3, black date font in white background. “SWISS – T < 25” at 6 instead of “SWISS MADE”.Black bezel is bi-directional rotating like genuine. The case back has special engravings curved, including Rolex Lgo, and words of “ROLEX”, “ROLEX PATENT . GAS ESCAPE VALVE . OYSTER”. The case back is also screwed down like modern Sea-Dweller, you can see there are some digital numbers engraved on the back side of the bracelet, I do not know what meaning.

Although the rotating bezel serves to record dive times, this has not stopped Rolex from making a few ultra-lavish Submariners with precious gem-set bezels that forsake the tool watch nature of the model. First, there’s the white gold Submariner 116649EMBR (presented in 2010) with a bezel set with 36 emeralds and 12 diamonds. Then in 2018, Rolex introduced the white gold Submariner 116659SABR with a bezel set with nine light blue sapphires (to mimic the first 15-minute markings), 27 dark blue sapphires, and 12 diamonds.To summarize, the history and evolution of the Submariner bezel is generally divided into three generations: bidirectional bezel with aluminum insert (early-1950s – late-1970s), unidirectional bezel with aluminum insert (late-1970s – late-2000s), and unidirectional bezel with Cerachrom ceramic insert (late 2000s until present). Which is your favorite type of Submariner bezel?
The black dial looks amazing, the red color usage highlights the whole dial, especially the red big second hand and red minute scales. Three small dials are in golden tone with black hand. The design of subdials is delicate, multi-layer three-dimensional visual effect is obvious. Hour markers, hour hand and minute hand have increased amount of Swiss lume material, so they will offer the wearer a long-lasting lume light in weak light conditions.The replica will come with a plastic box like genuine watch. We do not offer original Rolex box for the watch, if you want one, you need to pay extra dollars.Now, a lot of factories are making replica Rolex watches, for example, Noob, ARF, GMF, DJ, BP, etc. Their products are absolutely in different quality. So, sometimes it is very confused for us to make a decision, because some beginners do not know which factory to choose from. Here I will write a basic guide on the top five best-selling Rolex replica watches in our market. These Rolexs are also the best quality ones. Hope this guide can help you. Noob V9 Rolex Submariner 116610LN Submariner 116610LN is the hottest Rolex watch. Among so many replicas from various factories, the best one I think is from Noob. Now the latest version is V9, and Noob is still making efforts to upgrade it. V9 116610LN could be equipped with a Super Asia 3135 or an Asia ETA 2836. Compared with Asia 3135, the Asia 2836 is more stable. So, here I recommend you to buy Submariner 116610LN V9 with Asia ETA 2836. The watch is fully made of 904L stainless steel.In 2019, factories in our market will publish more high quality replica watches. The most representative factory is ARF, which now is the only factory that could compete with Noob in replicating Rolex field. While Noob can not keep the pace with ARF, this factory now has used 904L stainless steel material in every Rolex series that include Submariner, Datejust, Day Date, etc, while Noob still only used on Submariner replicas. Besides, the Rolex replica watches made by AR factory all have a large amount of stocks, while Noob only makes a certain amount of stocks on most of their Rolex.
