Then there’s the much more subdued fixed stainless bezel of the Explorer II which matches the case and features a 24-hour marked scale. This feature was specifically built for explorers who need to distinguish day from night – think cave explorers or polar explorers in the height of summer when the sun never sets.For decades, the durable and waterproof Oyster case on the Explorer II measured 40mm, but upon its redesign for the 40th anniversary of the collection in 2011, it was enlarged to 42mm. However, while Rolex produces a precious metal version of the Submariner, the Explorer II is exclusively offered in 904L stainless steel, and there have never been any solid gold or two-tone models ever produced. The current Explorer II is only offered on a steel Oyster bracelet with a Oysterlock clasp, but to be honest, when it comes to the Explorer II, collectors are much more concerned with what really makes this watch: the face.The dial of the Explorer II is iconic for a few reasons. The most notable being the colored 24-hour hand which circles the face. First there’s the iconic orange 24-hour hand, originally designed to help polar and cave explorers distinguish night from day, that gained its cult-status from the original “Steve McQueen” reference. Rolex eventually brought back the bright orange hand with much fanfare. Then there’s the red 24-hour hand which graced the dial for decades – it’s distinctly different than the orange hand with a skinnier body and smaller luminous triangle at the tip. The dials with a red 24-hour hand are far less punchy than their orange counterparts, but still make the Explorer II standout from the rest of the Rolex lineup.Then there are the dial colors – available in effortlessly-cool black and the coveted ‘polar’ white. The polar dial is totally cool and clean, the white face outfitted with white lume plots and Mercedes hands outlined in black. The black face on the other hand has a totally different appeal. While it boasts the same features, the darker face really highlights the stainless steel bezel, lume hour plots and lume-filled Mercedes hands (this time in white gold rather than finished black). It’s a punchier look, and the colored 24-hour hand – especially the orange one – shines against the black a little brighter.
While their sister-company, Tudor has garnered a strong following with their vintage-inspired heritage watches, Rolex is notorious for only moving forward with their designs, and never re-creating (or re-releasing) vintage Rolex inspired watches from the past. However, despite not manufacturing any outright heritage watches, Rolex does implement a few subtle, vintage-inspired design traits into the otherwise very modern watches that they manufacture today.Most obvious among the various vintage design elements is the red line of text on the dial of the new Rolex Sea-Dweller reference 126600. An obvious throwback to Rolex’s early Submariner and Sea-Dweller watches which had their respective names printed in red letters on the surfaces of their matte black dials, the red line of text on the dial of the new Sea-Dweller 126600 is an unmistakably vintage-inspired design element, which Rolex has recycled and reintroduced on an otherwise very modern and technologically-advanced, luxury dive watch.
AR has improved this replica three times, the latest edition is V3, it is also made with 904L stainless steel, while with better case and bracelet finish I think, the movement in ARF 116660 is a clone ETA 2824, while it is also a good movement choice. 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.GS Factory Published Two Diamond Submariner WatchesIn this week, GS factory published two special Rolex Submariner replica watches, among so many Submariner models coming from various watch manufacturers, these two Submariner 116619 replicas look so special because there are diamonds decoration on bezel, lugs and crown guards. One has a blue dial, the other has a black dial.The two watches have a case diameter of 40mm and measured to be 13mm in thickness. On the blue model, the bezel is embeded with blue sapphires except those white crystal 24-hour markers. The lugs are decorated with brilliant diamonds on the front.About the black one, the uni-directional rotating bezel is embeded with black baguette stones at each marker, others are clear crystals. The following are more detailes of the two watches.Movement: Asia ETA 2836-2 AutomaticCase: 40mm*13mm, 316F Stainless Steel, Diamond Encrusted Lugs Bezel: Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel Embeded with Baguette Stones Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Rolex Crown at 6 o’clock Dial: Blue/Black with Dot Lumed Hour Markers Bracelet: Solid 316F Stainless Steel with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 50m GM Factory Replica Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 Pepsi Blue/Red Ceramic Bezel with Jubilee Bracelet GMF Replica Rolex GMT-Master II GMT-Master II is one of the best-selling model of Rolex. The 126710 is the latest model added to the GMT family of Rolex. It is known as Pepsi watch due to its blue/red bi-color ceramic bezel. In watch market, the price of one genuine GMT-Master II 126710 is up to 20,000 US Dollars, and there are still many watch fans who pursue it. So, we can see its high popularity. In our replica watch industry, a lot of factories are making replica Rolex GMT-Master watches, BP, KS, DJ, GM and Noob are top five watch manufacturers that are making good quality Rolex GMT-Master replica watches. KS, DJ and GM are three new factories that just appeared in the end of 2018 year. For Rolex GMT-Master II126710 replica, GM is the only one factory that makes the replica with 904L stainless steel, so, that’s the biggest advantage of this factory. Currently Noob has not made this replica, so, if you are waiting for the best version from Noob, you still need to wait for a while, maybe several months.Replica Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 Replica Rolex GMT-Master II Blue Red Bezel The case of 126710 is made of solid 904L stainless steel, the whole piece of the middle case is made of solid 904L stainless steel, this type of stainless steel has extremely high corrosion resistance. about bezel, GM factory uses real bir-color blue and red ceramic insert, the firing of bi-color ceramic is very hard, GM factory researched the porcelain technology used by genuine watch and finally made this bi-color Pepsi ceramic bezel that looks more natural.

Sticking with undersea operations, the Oris ProDiver collection is an interesting one, given that Oris is one of the few watch companies that remains actively engaged in dealings with commercial divers. More specifically, Roman Frischknecht is a commercial diver that has been an Oris ambassador for some time, and rather than simply being an ambassador in name, Roman has played a crucial role in the development of the ProDiver collection ahead of its launch in 2009.It was his insight that led to the creation of the brand’s bezel locking system, known as a Rotation Safety System. Given the level of safety and security protocols involved in his line of work, Roman knew that if he was to be using a conventional dive watch in a modern dive environment, there could be absolutely no room for error, thus a locking mechanism (as seen in other divers like the Omega Ploprof, among others) would be mandatory.Although the roots of the Yacht-Master II relate to activities on the water’s surface rather than deep below, its unique functionality is perfectly suited to this category. After all, the Rolex Yacht-Master II is what is often referred to as yachting timer – a countdown chronograph that can be used to properly measure the start time of a regatta, also known as a sailing race.Arguably the most complex watch in the present Rolex collection, the Yacht-Master II uses an interesting combination of bezel position, crown position, and pusher action in order to set its countdown duration between 1 and 10 minutes, with the chronograph capable of flyback (or fly-forward) functionality to the pre-set time with a single activation of its lower pusher. While many Yacht-Master II wearers are unlikely to ever use this highly specific function for its actual intended purpose. being able to run a countdown like this isn’t shy on practical daily-life applications… grilling timer, anyone?
Black dial has a micro-sand finish, there are two small dials, like the two eyes of owl. Small second hand is running on the subdial at 9 o’clock. The subdial at 3 o’clock now works the same way as genuine watch, there are two hands on that subdial, the longer hand is displaying minutes chronograph, while the shorter hand is hour-chronograph pointer. The movement has been modified by OM factory, so the minute and hour chronograph could be completely achieved on this replica watch.Black nylon strap may be the best match for this watch. The texture of the black nylon band is exactly in line with the black matt finish of the watch. On the back side of the band, the side that touches your skin, is made of genuine leather. I tried this type of band on my hand, it maintains the soft wearing comfort of full genuine leather band, but also looks very cool due to its black nylon material on outside.
When we talk about 007 series movie, if you are a watch fan, you will know that James Bond usually wore an Omega watch, in every 007 movie from 1995 to 2018, James Bond would have one Omega watch. Today, the replica watch I will introduce is an Omega Seamaster Commander limited edition model, the genuine watch was published on July 5th, 2017, it was released to commemorate the anniversary of James Bond 007 Series Film.The replica is made by UR factory, it is currently the best version and has improved all defects of previous editions. The replica uses a clone Cal. 2507 automatic movement, correct case back engravings, each watch has an individual limited number engraved on case back.Compared with genuine watch, the replica has two big difference, first, the helium valve button is not working. If you guys like this watch but need to do a long-term diving operation or engaging in oil exploration, I suggest you buy a genuine watch. Second, due to cost and technology limitations, the replica can not use the same co-axial movement like genuine. But the factory tried their best to make this clone 2507 movement look like genuine caliber in outlook.
The IWC Portuguese Annual Calendar replica is equipped with an Asia IWC 52850 automatic movement, ZF disassembled all 326 components of original movement, after lots of trials of data analysis, the clone movement looks 90% the same as original 52850, besides, its adjusting method and winding feel are 100% the same as original. Because this IWC Portuguese watch has a see-through case back, so on the replica movement, ZF factory needs to work hard on the movement decoration. The following are photos of four Portuguese Annual Calendar watches.
