However, the dials of the gold Sub were not the standard black dials of their stainless steel counterparts.A few years later, around 1971, Rolex offered another colorway of the yellow gold Submariner featuring a bright blue bezel and dial. The yellow gold Submariners in blue also has the same “nipple dial” design. Particularly intriguing with the blue gold Submariner 1680/8 models is how the dials have transformed into different colors over time including lighter blues, vibrant purples, and rich reddish brown (also known as “tropical dials” in vintage Rolex terminology). Comparing the Rolex Submariner to the GMT-Master II.Two watches, perhaps the two most well-known in Rolex’s sports watch lineup, have amazing similarities, and one can be forgiven for confusing them at a distance. These two watches are, of course, the Submariner dive watch (ref. 116610) and the GMT-Master II (we’ll call it the GMT for short, but we’re talking about the current ref. 116710).The Submariner GMT Master Comparison .The individual histories of the Submariner and the GMT are well documented elsewhere, so let’s compare and contrast the two current models.First, the similarities. The Submariner and the GMT-Master II are luxury watches. Both watches are currently housed in the 40mm diameter so-called “super case” with a ceramic or Cerachrom bezel insert. This case, done in 904L stainless steel, debuted in 2007 with the GMT (the Submariner received the new case a year later). There are minute differences in the two cases, but you need to set them side by side and look very closely to see them.Both watches buckle to your wrist with the current Oyster bracelet.
The Rolex Submariner has been a part of the Rolex catalog for well over 60 years. As expected, the famed dive watch has undergone plenty of design and mechanical enhancements over the past six decades, including the all-important timing bezel. Read on to discover all the different types of bezels of the Rolex Submariner.When Rolex debuted the Submariner in 1953, the stainless steel dive watch included a rotating bezel marked to 60 minutes to allow divers to track immersion times. The steel bezel turned both ways for simple timing adjusting, the edge of the bezel was knurled for easy gripping underwater, and the insert was fashioned from black aluminum.The printed 60-minute scale on the earlier versions included markings for every 5 minutes, alternating between batons and numerals. By the late 1950s, Rolex started to include hash marks for the first 15 minutes on the bezel followed by 5-minute markings.Around 1969, Rolex introduced the first yellow gold Submariner, the Submariner Date ref. 1680/8. Accordingly, the knurled rotating bezel was fashioned from 18k yellow gold. What’s more, the Rolex Submariner ref. 1680/8 now offered the choice of either a black or blue aluminum bezel insert and matching dial.
While bidirectional rotating bezels may be quicker for wearers to turn to the appropriate spot, as a dive bezel it’s not the best option. If the bezel gets accidentally knocked, this could cause divers to miscalculate how long they have been underwater. Therefore, a unidirectional bezel is more prudent because accidental knocks to the bezel can only result in overestimating immersion time – it’s far preferable to start ascending to the surface earlier or spend longer than necessary at a decompression stop.Rolex began equipping the Submariner with unidirectional bezels starting with the Submariner Date ref. 16800, which was introduced around 1979. The no-date Submariner model received a unidirectional bezel with the introduction of the Submariner ref. 14060 in 1990.Like the previous generation, the new unidirectional bezels included aluminum bezel inserts. In 1983, Rolex introduced the first two-tone Submariner model in the form of the Submariner Date ref. 16803, which sported a yellow gold knurled bezel with a black or blue aluminum insert. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Submariner in 2003, Rolex introduced the stainless steel Submariner Date ref. 16610LV with a green bezel insert.In 2008, Rolex introduced the first Submariner models equipped with unidirectional bezels featuring Cerachrom inserts. Cerachrom is Rolex’s proprietary ceramic alloy that is not only resistant to scratching but also to fading. The 60-minute graduations are cut into the bezel and then the ceramic bezel insert is fully coated with either yellow gold (for yellow gold and two-tone models) or platinum (for white gold or steel models). The gold/platinum is then polished away from the ceramic surface until only the recessed numerals and markings are left with the metal filling.By 2012, Rolex had rolled out the Cerachrom bezels across all Submariner models and color options include black, blue, and green. A quick way to know the color of the bezel is to look at the letters in the reference number: LB (blue bezel), LN (black bezel), and LV (green bezel).
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.
This factory does a good job in case polishing, which uses two different processing ways, the case lugs are polished and the part connecting bracelet is brushed. Polished lugs are smooth and have a certain arc degree, so the case fits you hand perfectly. Fluted bezel has the same amount of grooves as genuine, the 18k yellow gold coated on bezel is thick, never fade, so it is on the bracelet.Replica Rolex 41mm Black Dial The dial looks big, white letterings on black dial background. The date window at 3 o’clock shows black date on white background. The most precious part on the replica lies in its diamond hour markers, box-shaped markers with one diamond set in the center, whose brilliance exactly echoes with the yellow gold tone. I love simple dial style and it looks so generous.Replica Rolex Datejust Crown The most important watch part is the movement. This replica Rolex Datejust is equipped with a Swiss ETA 2836 automatic movement, which is the best movement used by replica watches. However, because the replica uses 18k gold, diamonds and Swiss ETA 2836 movement, it is sold at a high price. If you like this replica watch, please contact me, I will send one original Rolex box as a free gift, only available for top five buyers.dReplica Rolex Daytona 116500 Ceramic Watch 904L Case with Super Clone 4130 Movement Rolex Daytona 116500 Ceramic ReplicaIn recent days, there is a new factory that uses the latest watch material and super clone movement to make replica Rolex watches in our market, its name is AR. This factory produced a lot of amazing replica Rolex within these months, such as V8 116610 Submariner, 116610LV, etc. This time I will introduce another great replica watch they made, it is a Daytona watch, reference number is 116500. This Daytona watch is very popular and is in high demand in the watch market, a lot of my blog readers asked me to do a review about this Daytona watch, now I have a chance to pick up the best version to give a review here, hope you guys like it.
At lower prices, BP, VR and KS factories also make the replica of Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA D-Blue 116660, although not made with 904L stainless steel, but they are also in moderate quality, they are very good choices for people who do not have enough budget.As the two largest manufacturers of replica Rolex watches in the market, Noob and AR have produced a lot of good quality Rolex replicas for us, they are also the two factories that firstly used 904L stainless steel material in the making of replica Rolex, since the usage of this advanced stainless steel material, the competition between Noob and AR is also becoming more and more fierce.
