The GMT Master II ref. 16710 is one of the most iconic and influential examples of the brand’s multi-time zone pilot’s watch. It brought an upgraded case and movement to the line, making it a huge success and leading to its impressive production run of almost twenty years. The ref. 16710 was then replaced by the ref. 116710 in the late 2000s as a completely new generation of Rolex GMT-Master tool watches began to make an appearance with a brand new case and bracelet design, improved materials, and a new movement.Rolex developed the GMT-Master in the early 1950s at the request of Pan Am Airlines. Its release came during the dawn of international flight. The famous air carrier required a dual-time wristwatch to issue their pilots, and the GMT-Master was born. The GMT-Master II was released a number of years later in 1983 with the ref. 16760, and brought with it independent hour hands that allow the wearer to read two time zones on the dial and a third on the bezel.The first GMT-Master II ref. 16760 featured a bulkier case and is often referred to by avid collectors as the “Fat Lady” or “Sophia Loren.” In 1989, Rolex would release a refined variation of the Fat Lady GMT in the form of the sleeker reference Rolex 16710 with a thinner case and movement. The ref. 16710 was well-received among collectors for its upgraded case and movement, and it would go on to become one of the most successful GMT-Master II models, remaining in production for nearly twenty years.A completely redesigned version of the stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II was introduced in 2007, which meant the discontinuation of the long-running ref. 16710. The Rolex 116710 is similar in design as its 5-digit predecessor with an all-steel finish, a perpetual movement with independent hour hands, and a bidirectional bezel; however, that’s where its similarities end. The ref. 116710 is almost an entirely new watch and boasts a redesigned bezel, case, bracelet, and dial, as well as the newer Caliber 3186 perpetual movement.
First of all, the case size is 40.9*12.3mm which is almost as the same the per original, not only because it is made out from a 1:1 case but also because the team conquer so many difficulties to develop a replica A79350 movement. Some editions are not able to do the same size case as original edition is because it is limited by the movement inside of it, some factories are not able to copy the original movement. Then let’s move to the dial, the craftsmanship and fine details are just the same as original. IWC’s logo is very clear, and the character size is the same as original, there is no difference by looking at it. The outside markers for chronograph second function is also copied greatly. The blue long needle is for showing chronograph second, and sub-dial at 12:00 position shows chronograph minute. Sub-dial at 6:00 position together with two hands in the middle to show the time. Time Markers are numeral. Look into carefully, even the axis to hold those three hands are done as well as per original, perfectly in details! Both V6 edition and original’s front glass are made of sapphire crystal, this is a easy job for ZF to follow. Look at the case side, no matter the polish or matt work, they are exactly the same as the genuine. On the crown and the buttons for adjust functions, they are looking the same in shape and engraving logo on it, but V6 edition’s is painted with blue coating which is for protecting them from the scratch. For the strap, the original one is using crocodile leather, V6 edition’s standard strap is real cow leather but Z factory also offer crocodile leather with extra pay.
The brushed stainless steel bracelet with glossiness ,which in concert with the main tone of case. It was more general and masculine as a whole.The sapphire crystal with AR coating, was covered with in front of case and case back. The perfect operation of its powerful movement can be seen clearly in this transparent case back. This replica equipped with Nickel Plated Miyota 8205 Automatic Movement, ensure to be precise and stable in travel time. It may be your good partner to exploring deep sea.In my point of view, this replica Omega Planet Ocean watch was fit for someone who desires to own a wrist watch with stable and reliable capability, and also need to be full of fashion style. Undoubtedly, this replica with stylish appearance and practical capability, it is really your good choice.
The bezel is unidirectional rotating.The whole replica watch feels not that heavy compared with modern Submariner, maybe this is due to its small 38mm case and only 16.5mm thick. The crystal is also dome plexi plastic. The bracelet is made of solid 316 stainless steel, however when I holding this watch on hand, I found the gap between links are too large, I do not know how about the bracelet on genuine watch, but it will be better if the factory could fit the watch with a more delicated steel band. However you can not say too much when seeing its price tag.Rolex Submariner, which has been a popular watch model for decades, is regarded as a classic. And in fake watch industry, with the progress made in technology, the replicas of Rolex Black and Green Submariner are also being improved. This time, as the new generation of Submariner, V6s version only only has improvement. The V6s Black Submariner has brand-new casing and crystal, its movement is also modified, it totally meets the expectation of many Noob V6 Submariner fans. Here I am going to introduce its improvements made upon the previous V5 version.First, V6s has a better crystal, which is as flat as genuine. V5 is more convex.The markers on black ceramic bezel. V6s is silver grey, so is the genuine. And the markers engraving is deeper and thicker.The axis of the second hand is more delicate and the same as genuine.The dial is always one of the standards to tell fake Rolex, like the printing “1000ft=300” on this replica Submariner V6s, it also has a little difference with the genuine, but closer to genuine than other versions. About the V6s Noob factory released, they are fitted two types of dial, each is equipped with Super 3135 or 2836 movement, each dial version is correct.
The case is fully made of black ceramic, it is a pioneering work Omega made in their Planet Ocean. The case is brushed, while the edge of lugs is polished, seeing the side, the case has a graceful arc shape. The bezel uses high grade black ceramic with silver engravings. The case back is see-through sapphire crystal, VS factory developed Omega-patented Naiad Lock system, you only need to rotate the case back a bit to lock it perfectly. Check the case back, there are unique engravings on three lugs.The dial is black, which is made of real ceramic Zr02, this is the high gloss black dial that is exact 1:1 imitation of original. The dial has a correct hand stack, hour markers and hands have silver edge and are applied with white lume material, the dial has two different lume colors, hour markers and hour hand will emit strong blue light, minute hand will emit strong green light in the dark. On the outer dial, there are 24-hour gmt markers, GMT hand in the center has an orange triangle mark that is also filled with luminescence. This Deep Black Planet Ocean is a GMT watch, if Omega makes a full ceramic Planet Ocean without GMT function, that will be very popular.
