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 In some instances, the withdrawn watches are real fan favorites, and it leaves potential customers with just one option to get hold of them.Below, we take a look at five of Rolex’s most-loved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.
Movement: Asia Super Clone 3135 Automatic, 25 Jeweled, 28800BPH, Decorated Movement Plates and Auto Rotor Case: 40mm*13mm, Solid 904L Stainless Steel, 18K Yellow Gold Plated Bezel: Blue Ceramic, Uni-Directional Rotating Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown Logo at 6 o’clock Dial: Blue with Blue Lumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: Two Tone Style, 904L Stainless Steel, with 18K Yellow Gold Plated Water Resistant: 30m In these days, I was really tired and have not much time to write something new about replica watches, actually at the beginning of 2017, those factories seem not to release striking new models, I guess they are waiting for genuine new watches that will be published in BaselWorld. However, some factories, such as BP, are still bringing new surprise to us, this time, BP factory released a series of vintage Rolex Submariner replicas, this one Comex 1680 is one of them. Actually I remembered such type of vintage Rolex replicas were manufactured by another unknown factory, a factory that made the famous vintage Paul Newman Daytona replica, this time, not only BP made Paul Newman Daytona, it also produced this Comex Submariner. Every one who knows BP must remember their Rolex Submariner replicas have a very close quality to Noob Submariner, so now BP brings these vintage Rolex replicas to a new quality level.
On top is the sapphire crystal to cover the elegant dial.The bracelet is made of the same material as its case, and on the folding buckle, there are the Rolex logo and other information of the model, just as the same as per original. This replica Rolex Yacht-Master watch is driven by a Asian 2813 automatic movement, supporting its functions well. Even though this watch is designed for professional yacht player firstly, but it became a classic and hot model Rolex. More and more people choose it as a timepiece or decoration on the wrist for sport or business occasion. You know, everything happens in fashion.This replica Rolex Submariner has two edition, a normal edition and a latest V6S edition. Here is the difference between these two: there is a laser Anti-counterfeiting Rolex logo on the front case at 6:00 position, this is exactly as original edition. This logo has to use magnifier or put it at a 45 degree under the light to see it. But, the ordinary edition has the painted crown logo that can be seem directly. There comes very the original Rolex package, very fancy and high-class.Replica Rolex GMT Master II 116710LN Black Ceramic Bezel When the factory told me that this watch is the best replica Rolex GMT-Master II watch so far in the market, I was wondering how it would be. I hold this new arrival in my hand and look into it carefully, then I agree with what I was told. No matter the look or the material, it is exactly the same as the original. I think you would like me to show you more details as below.It seems that Rolex designed the GMT-Master II for specific group, but more and more people who travel a lot or love traveling would prefer to wear this watch. The reason is the elegant look and its useful functions. The 40mm case is made of 314L stainless steel and looks good not only during travelling all over the world but also good for any business occasions. On the black dial, there are dots and stick markers, and except for the hour, minute and second function, there is also date display and GMT. The date indicator is at 3:00, and we can see it adopts Rolex’s traditional water-drop design to enlarge it. On the black bezel we can see there are numbers and markers, this is the most outstanding specification of this GMT-Master II watch, from hands on the dial we can tell the local time, and from the bezel and the 24-hour hand we can tell the time zone when you travel. And this is can be adjusted by the crown, so the traveler can always know the time of the departure and arrival places at the same time. The bezel is made of ceramic material, matching the sapphire cover perfectly. The strap is very Rolex style type, matching a folding clasp.The reason they said this is the best edition of replica Rolex GMT-Master II is that it is driven by a 1:1 super clone 3186 automatic movement, which can support it to work as well as the original. And, this watch looks younger than other gold and stainless steel models, looking good on the young as well.Specification: Movement: Clone 3186 Automatic Case: 40mm*13mm, 316L stainless steel Bezel: Real Black Ceramic Crystal: Sapphire, Anti-scratchDial: Black Bracelet: Solid 316L Stainless Steel Water Resistant: 100m .Replica Rolex Day Date II Two Tone 18K Gold Watch ReviewI am going to show you a replica Rolex Day Date II watch that is a very classic model from this classic watch brand. As one of the brand’s iconic models, Day Date II is always made of steel and gold, which becomes a perfect match as a case of this brand. The replica edition of this Rolex watch I want to present to is the best one I have met, as it is made of real 18K gold instead of gold-plating in most of the replica versions.Looking on the elegant white dial, we can see there are three golden needles and Roman numeral markers. I always like Roman numeral markers are much more than other styles, what do you think? At 12 o’clock position is the week window, and below the window there is Rolex’s logo which is attractive as always.
