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.
In 2008, a small factory cloned IWC Big Pilot, whether its appearance or movement, it has a large gap with genuine watch, the power reserve is faux. After seven years, Z factory built this Big Pilot again, they updated the dial and movement construction, even the power reserve is real, which was increased from 42 hours to 12 hours. Big Pilot is one of the most classic series of IWC, the genuine watch is also sold at a high price, so, to have such an 1:1 replica is a dream of many people. Here I will give a review of Big Pilot IW500901 replica watch, which is a great timepiece with perfect function and closest movement.Big case is brushed and almost has 47mm in diameter. The Pilot watch has a common case design that is similar to dress watches, its dial completely shows every thing clearly in front of your eyes. Seeing from the side of the case, you will find out the difference between 1:1 replica and those cheap replicas. The replica IWC is polished well, especially its bezel, it has a polished silver edge that looks like a mirror. The streamlined design of the case ensures a great fit to your wrist. Please check some photos below, the crystal reflects a little hue when under a certain angle, this indicates the sapphire crystal has a layer of anti-reflective coating. So the dial is very clear even under the sun light, it seems like the crystal is invisible.
It is so attractive when a wrist watch adds blue color as one of its design elements. Even decorate in normal design, the style of watch with blue color will be more intriguing. Now I will introduce one kind of watch to you, it is the replica IWC Jaques Yves Cousteau, which with excellent performance and brilliant blue dial. It is almost clone the original perfectly, no matter its appearance or capability.When we talk about this replica, let’s know something about its origin of name. It is in memory of a famous explorer, Jacques-Yves Cousteau. This meaningful exploration has a deep connection with the film “The Dragons of Galapagos”. After you have known about its history, I think you may be interested in this replica, next I will introduce its unique characteristic. I’m sure that you may have not any resistance for its charming glamours.
Frontal crystal is made of sapphire, the surface has a layer of anti-reflective coating that looks a little purple when seeing at a certain angle. This features on the replica is 100% the same as genuine. Black dial does not have special points, like other diving watches, it has a strong lume effect. See the dial lume picture below, you can see there are three different lume color on the dial. The skeletonized design of hour and minute hands is also my love about the replica. Central second hand has a red tip that just echoes with the red “Seamaster” lettering below OMEGA LOGO. I have to say the skeleton design of hands is a little similar to the feel which the bracelet gives to me.Finally it comes to the band, which is fully brushed stainless steel bracelet. I can not find a professional word to describe the bracelet, but actually I find its design perfectly matches the whole theme of the replica watch. I can not find any other bracelet on this watch that will have such a design similarity to its hands and bezel. Perhaps a vintage nato strap will also work fine.The bracelet looks a little loose on my wrist, but the watch body seems to be very nice, I love big watch.
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.
Rolex Daytona 116500 Ceramic Watch Daytona is a famous series of Rolex and it is also the best selling chronograph watch made of precious metals. So, it is not strange that so many watch fans are searching for the best replica Rolex Daytona while they are not able to buy a genuine one. Different from previous versions, the Daytona replica watch that will be discussed today has two big selling points, first, its material. Second, the movement.Rolex Daytona 116500 Replica All Daytona replicas before are made of 316L stainless steel, now AR factory uses 904L stainless steel to make this replica Rolex Daytona 116500. This is a big step for fake watch industry to forward. Some people who bought Rolex replicas before always complained their replicas did not have the same weight as genuine Rolex, now made with 904L stainless steel in case and bracelet, the replica will have the same weight as genuine. On the bezel, replicas of the Daytona 116500 before use black pvd, while this replica from AR factory uses real black ceramic like genuine. We call such type of watch 1:1 replicated from original.
