As the old saying, someone who can keep the time, is the real hero. Nowadays, wrist watch is not just a timing tool, also not just a decoration only, it is more like a medium to reveal their own style and a symbol of the past time. Especially for someone who are so important for you, if they give you a wrist watch as gift, it may has special meaning, it not only memories the time, but also in memory of your love. Today I am going to introduce a kind of meaningful watch, it is a replica IWC Portuguese Chronograph, which is in a low-key but luxurious style, I am sure that you will be attracted by it deeply.
The case of this replica was made of solid 316 stainless steel. In order to be more harmonious as a whole, there are several key components have used this material. Such as its bracelet, has been polished based on stainless steel. And its crown, even its Arabic numeral markers and bar markers in the while dial. All of them are in concert with its main tone. The markers and hands have been coated by super luminous with different colors. Blue color was used in hour markers and hour hand. Green color was used in bezel and minute hand. Such considerate design can guarantee that you can read time clearly no matter in day or at night, and when diving in dark deep sea. You still can distinguish time information in shorter time. The date display window was set in the place of three o’clock. Considering of ocean such specific environment, this Omega Planet Ocean replica used superior quality to ensue practical function. Such as its bezel, except its unique character that was different from anther diving wrist watch which surrounding with numerals in bezel for chronograph. Its bezel inlaid diamond just with the motivation that showing the glamour of diamond and the craft of inlaying. In addition, it used white ceramic which can be tough enough to adjust the environment of deep sea.
Made by J12 factory, the case polishing work looks much superior to Daytonas of other factories. Case is 40mm in diameter and 15mm thick, case corners and edge are smoothly polished, so you will get a comfortable wearing feeling from this replica watch. Bezel is in yellow gold tone and fixed, three buttons on the right are also in yellow gold and have the same construction as genuine Rolex Daytona. When not in use, the two chronograph buttons could be locked tightly by screws to make sure the watch is water resistant. If you want to start the chronograph, just loose the screw on button at 2:00 and then push it.White dial has three working subdials, the small dial at 6 o’clock is for small seconds display, the subdial at 3 o’clock is 30-minute chronograph counter and subdial at 9 o’clock is 12-hour chronograph counter. Fortunately, all could work like genuine Rolex Daytona. Secs@6 Valjoux 7750 chronograph movement is very reliable.The bracelet is made of 316L stainless steel and has a thick yellow gold coating on the central links, the yellow gold tone never fade. The last reason why you choose this replica Daytona other than the ones from AR factory is it is sold at a much cheaper price.After releasing Submariner 116610 and 116610LV, Noob just published another important model in this week, it is 116710 BLNR. This Rolex Submariner was selling well and I have given its review on my another blog. 116710 BLNR is a popular GMT Master II watch of Rolex, it is easily identified because of the blue black bezel, some watch fans call it Batman bezel. 116710 BlNR I introduced before was a V7 published by Noob factory, the one I am going to discuss today is the latest V8 by Noob, it is currently the best version that uses top quality watch material and Swiss 3186 automatic movement.
Let us see the dial first. It is in black white white markers and printings. Hands are completely different other IWC Mark series’. Have you noticed the hour hand, it is reverse. Hour markers use Arabic numbers except a big triangle mark at 12 o’clock. Date window is set at 3 o’clock, on the left side of the 3:00 hour marker. The dial also has other subtle difference if you compare Mark XI and Mark XVII or XVIII. Green nylon band is also one highlight. Nylon strap is a great match for the watch, it is perfectly in line with the military theme of the watch. One pair of distressed leather band could also create such effect, but a modern alligator leather strap will not.
About this two tone Submariner 116613LN, there are basically four factories that are making it. BP, GM, AR and Noob. Among four of them, BP is the factory makes the cheapest one. GM is a new factory, I do not know their quality. So, the last two factories AR and Noob are worth your consideration. Based on the V1 edition, this time AR factory update the bezel and dial, the thickness of yellow gold coating on case and bracelet is also improved. First, the 18K yellow gold coating, which the factory claims, is updated to be 8 mils thick. Second, the black ceramic bezel insert is also updated, the golden markers on the bezel are improved to have the same engraving depth. Thrid, about dial improvement, the golden edge of hour markers is narrowed, while the central lume part is wider, so there will be more lume coating on each hour marker to guarantee stronger and longer lume light in dark conditions.So, instead of spending $50 USD more on the 116613LN from Noob, it is better to choose this one from AR factory.I love vintage watches very much. Especially Rolex and Panerai are my most favorite.This generation’s Paul Newman Daytonas are currently flying under the radar. Yes, the Rolex GMT-Master II has already doubled in value, and is likely going to appreciate further due to Rolex carefully managing the supply of that model to the ravenous public, but only by 200%, 300%, 500%. Now, that’s not too bad at all, but the really crazy money is likely hiding somewhere in the far corner of the industry and we won’t know what it is until it’s too late to rush out, cash in hand, and “collect” it.So what should we do in the meantime? I told my little friend, desperate to see a return on his money that he should be patient. He should wait to fall in love. He should truly get to know himself before he pulls the trigger. And then, when he’s good and ready, he should buy a Rolex anyway.
