The Datejust and Date have always featured identical functions – a self-winding time and date movement with an instantaneously changing date display. Additionally, the two watches have often run on the same calibers as well (as have the smaller versions of both models) with both switching to quickset date movements in the late 1970s.However, today the current-production Datejust 36 and Datejust 41 watches are powered by the latest generation Caliber 3235 movement with a 70-hour power reserve, while the Date 34 still runs on the previous generation Caliber 3135 with a 48-hour power reserve.Overall, the Rolex Date is the smaller and simpler version of the Rolex Datejust with fewer options available from the factory but offering near-identical functionality.Holiday season is right around the corner and for many of us, that means traveling somewhere to spend some quality time with family. Whether you’re flying across the country for Thanksgiving, to another country for winter break, or voyage frequently as part of your day-to-day life, here are some of our favorite Rolex watches for women who travel.Given that the Rolex GMT-Master watch was invented for people who fly planes for a living, it comes as no surprise that this would be a top pick for a travel watch.
The helium valve button on both factories do not work. While I think AR makes the helium valve button correct because they do a better finish on the button.Both AR and Noob use 904L stainless steel to make the bracelet. While I think that the 904L stainless steel used by AR is the best in entire watch market. The first touch feeling which AR Rolex gives you is excellent, whether on the case or bracelet, the finish on AR 126600 is superior. On AR 126600, if you check the first link of the bracelet that connects the case, its compactness with the links on both sides is made better, Noob’s has a small gap. The crown logo on the buckle looks more three-dimensional on AR 126600. So, about This is the only advantage of Noob factory, because Noob offers a 3235 movement option for this Sea-Dweller 126600. I did not say the Asia 2824 on ARF is not good, it is also a very good movement, even more stable than the clone 3235 and Asia ETA 2836 used by Noob 126600.Whether in material or finish, ARF Sea-Dweller Single Red 126600 is the best. About the movement, I still vote for ARF, because the Asia 2824 movement is more stable. Now, AR factory almost has occupied the entire market of Sea-Dweller 126600, about the after-sale service, Noob’s repairing service is very slow, this is also a big reason why I do not recommend Noob here.Photos and video of Noob 126600 Now, Daytona is the proud of Noob factory, it has become the flagship model of Noob, which is more popular than their Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV. Since the usage of 904L stainless steel in replica watches industry, the emphasis which every factory puts on is the development of replica Rolex, especially the production of Daytona, which directly affect the competitive relationship between Noob and ARF.In my last post, I said Noob is ready to release two yellow gold Daytona watches, now both watches are available. Here I will give a short review one of them, it is the yellow gold one with green dial.The case of this yellow gold Daytona is 12.5mm, which almost has the same thickness as original. Thanks to Noob’s newly developed 4130 movement, so the thickness of the entire case has been reduced, at the same time, the movement can also achieve all functions of original. The inner case material is 904L stainless steel, while the outside yellow gold coating is up to 5 mils thick.Green dial is my favorite, it makes the Daytona suitable both for men and women. Every small dial works very well, each features a red circle inside. The small second hand is on the subdial at 6 o’clock, other two small dials are for minute and hour chronograph display. To reduce the probability of failure, we suggest you do not operate the chronograph buttons too often, this is true for Daytona from Noob and ARF.
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.
However, it seems like this Super Clone 4130 movement developed by Noob factory has few repairing rate, my clients ordered two Noob Daytona from me in last yesterday, he told me that both watches still work very fine. I think this Super Clone 4130 from Noob is more stable than their 3135 movement.AR factory also makes this green Daytona, but I think some tiny details like dial printings, case engravings and inner bezel engravings are not as good as this one from Noob, however, Noob has a much higher price, which is even $300 USD more expensive. The Daytonas from both Noob and ARF are good, if you have enough budget, then Noob is a better decision.After our holiday, there are exciting news coming from our watch market, the biggest one is that Noob will immediately unveil the V10 edition of Submariner 116610LN and 1166LV, and they will also publish the full golden Daytona and green Daytona at the same time. As Noob’s technology on their 4130 movement becomes more mature, they will install this movement in more Daytona watches, so we will have more choices than before.Besides the release of the green Daytona this time, Noob will bring us a big surprise, that’s the Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV, which will be upgraded to V10. Noob claimed that many improvements were made on V10, but I see the biggest change on the movement, please check the movement photos below, it is 3135, can you tell it is a real or a clone? It is a clone 3135 but I can not see any difference.Among all watch manufacturers, only Noob makes the best clone 3135 movement that looks closest original Rolex 3135. From V6 to V10, Noob has improved a lot, especially on the movement, to guarantee there are no issues. The new 3135 has three big features, better decoration on movement plate,noiseless auto rotor and balance spring.Noob 4130 Daytona Gold Models:Now, these vintage Rolex Submariner watches are very rare in genuine watch market, you can not get any one of them even you have money. So, sometimes a vintage Rolex Submariner is more attractive to a watch collector than a modern Submariner model. The following pictures describe all vintage Submariner models available in our market. Among them, there are Submariners with date, Submariners with no date, some are with stainless steel bracelet, some are with nylon bands in different color, some are with nubuck leather in different color. Among the following vintage Submariner Rolex watches, first, most of them have a case diameter of 38mm, their crystal face is domed plexi plastic, the movement inside is an Asia clone ETA 2836, the bezel can work like genuine Submariner. If you are interested in any one of them, please contact me through email, bs_watches@aol.co.ukAR Factory V2 Edition Replica Rolex Daytona 116508 Yellow Gold Watch with Clone 4130 Movement ARF Replica Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold V2 Now before introducing this replica Rolex Daytona, let us compare Noob Daytona and ARF Daytona. Both Daytona watches are in high quality, they represent the highest watch-making technology in our market. However, they are different from each other. First, now the best replica Rolex from Noob is Daytona with Super Clone 4130, other Rolex watches made by Noob can not compete with AR factory. The only advantage of Noob is their Daytona. Second, AR factory makes the Daytona without full chronograph function, while Noob has the full chronograph, but that does not mean Noob Daytona is better and more stable than ARF Daytona, instead, in movement, I more prefer the 4130 installed in ARF Daytona, it is slimmer and has lower repairing rate. ARF Replica Rolex Daytona 116508Replica Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold AR FactoryReplica Rolex Daytona 116508 Black DialIn finish, ARF perfectly inherits the watch-making technology of its parent company J12.
It is a nice big-crown Submariner, there is a Rolex Crown Logo on face, while under the crown logo, it is “BREVET” not “ROLEX”. Almost all vintage Rolex watches adopt domed plexi plastic crystal face, so does this one.The dial is black, featuring yellowish hour markers and printings. Benz hands are a bit narrower, not that wide on modern Submariners. The printing “200m = 600ft” says that genuine 6538 could be water resistant to 200 meters, however, this replica has been tested in factory to be 30m waterproof. The dial and bezel pearl all emit strong green light in dark place.The replica big crown 6538 Submariner is equipped with an Asian ETA 2836-2 movement, which is modified from a Chinese Sea-Gull automatic movement. Many readers who have sent me inquiries asked to equip real Swiss ETA movement in their watches, the truth is that some replica watches could be equipped with real Swiss ETA calibre, but some vintage Rolex like this one is not able to be installed.The King in Deep Sea Diving – Replica Rolex D-Blue 116660 James Cameron WatchTo pay tribute to the historic diving depth record which James Cameron created, Rolex published Deepsea D-Blue watch, which is to memorate the event which James Cameron succeeded in reaching the deepest Mariana Trench under deep sea.The watch is a high-tech product, with thick case and crystal, best lume material applied on the dial, 116660 could withstand the greatest pressure under water, and the dial could offer you the best readability even in the greatest darkness of Mariana Trench.Now I am pleased to introduce the replica watch of Sea-Dweller Deepsea D-Blue 116660, there are two types of this replica in the market, one is in low quality at cheap price, the other is this one I am going to introduce here, it is made by a big famous factory named “Noob”, we call it N. This factory is good at manufacturing good quality Rolex Submariner and Sea-Dweller replicas.The case is made of 316F stainless steel and has a brushed face, it is 43mm in diameter but seems to be bigger and thicker than other Submariner and Deepsea replicas.
