When you got the watch on hand, you can feel its high quality texture, it is also a little heavy. My wirst is 16.5mm, I can wear a 38mm watch, the 47mm SevenFriday also suits me very well, so is this Omega. The crystal is very clear.The crown is easy for you to distinguish whether this Omega replica watch is made by a big factory or a small factory. The base face of the crown is brushed, while the Omega Logo above is polished, besides, the side face around the crown is polished, the whole craftmanship of the crown is in a high level. Although genuine watch is better, it is really hard for a factory to achieve such a high replicating grade.The hands of this Omega watch have several colors alternatives, the most usual are silver and blue, there are also unique black and yellow bumblebee color as well as green. The hand uses drawing finishing, so do those hour markers. The factory did not uses baked blue design on the hand, because this Omega Aqua Terra 150M was an old model published a long time ago, and the factory was not attempted to release the future upgraded version, so, if you are in pursuit of perfection, I suggest you choose silver hand model.The bracelet is very good, it gives a high quality texture feeling, the gap between links is tight, not too loose, the drawing finishing on the bracelet is very delicate. The Omega Logo on the clasp is deeply engraved, which gives a strong three-dimensional feeling. When you need to adjust the length of the bracelet, you have to lose the screws on each side, and then take the pin out.
About this two tone Submariner 116613LN, there are basically four factories that are making it. BP, GM, AR and Noob. Among four of them, BP is the factory makes the cheapest one. GM is a new factory, I do not know their quality. So, the last two factories AR and Noob are worth your consideration. Based on the V1 edition, this time AR factory update the bezel and dial, the thickness of yellow gold coating on case and bracelet is also improved. First, the 18K yellow gold coating, which the factory claims, is updated to be 8 mils thick. Second, the black ceramic bezel insert is also updated, the golden markers on the bezel are improved to have the same engraving depth. Thrid, about dial improvement, the golden edge of hour markers is narrowed, while the central lume part is wider, so there will be more lume coating on each hour marker to guarantee stronger and longer lume light in dark conditions.So, instead of spending $50 USD more on the 116613LN from Noob, it is better to choose this one from AR factory.I love vintage watches very much. Especially Rolex and Panerai are my most favorite.This generation’s Paul Newman Daytonas are currently flying under the radar. Yes, the Rolex GMT-Master II has already doubled in value, and is likely going to appreciate further due to Rolex carefully managing the supply of that model to the ravenous public, but only by 200%, 300%, 500%. Now, that’s not too bad at all, but the really crazy money is likely hiding somewhere in the far corner of the industry and we won’t know what it is until it’s too late to rush out, cash in hand, and “collect” it.So what should we do in the meantime? I told my little friend, desperate to see a return on his money that he should be patient. He should wait to fall in love. He should truly get to know himself before he pulls the trigger. And then, when he’s good and ready, he should buy a Rolex anyway.
The first ceramic bezel Submariner appeared in 2009 with the introduction of the steel and gold Rolex reference 116613. A stunning blend of classic and modern dive watch design, the ref. 116613 has since become a highly sought-after dive watch, both at retail and on the pre-owned Rolex market. Other metal variations of the ceramic (aka “Cerachrom”) bezel Submariner would later follow. However, none is as intriguing as the Rolex Submariner two-tone example.The Rolex Submariner was introduced to the market in the early 1950s and was the first timepiece in the brand’s catalog to offer water resistance up to 100 meters. This depth rating would eventually be increased to up to 300 meters, where it remains for the modern versions of the Submariner that are sold today. Other notable upgrades made to the line over the past six decades include improved materials (904L Oystersteel), longer-lasting lume (Chromalight), higher-beat Caliebr 3135 perpetual movements, tougher scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, and unidirectional rotating timing bezels.The Submariner was first offered in stainless steel, then in yellow gold. The first two-tone Submariner wasn’t released until 1984, with the reference 16803. This take on Rolex’s famous professional diver introduced the line to a brand new level of collectors who sought a gold Rolex but didn’t have the budget for an all-gold timepiece. Fast forward to 2009 with the release of this article’s featured ref. 116613, a completely redesigned dive watch with an upgraded bracelet and case, a redesigned bezel fitted with a ceramic insert, and a larger display on the dial.The Rolex Submariner is a dive watch legend. From its many appearances in the James Bond franchise to gracing the wrists of numerous A-list celebrities, the Submariner has become one of the most recognizable and coveted luxury watches in the world. The line is varied and offers options in either an all Oystersteel (904L stainless steel), Rolesor (two-tone steel and gold), or solid 18k gold. Today, we will compare two of the most iconic two-tone Rolex Submariner references – the Rolex 16613 and Rolex 116613.
When we turn back the replica, we will admire its amazing back-case. Generous, this is the only word I want to express. We can review the beauty of machine accompany with the moving of balance wheel clearly in such big back-case. It is liked that we are admiring a wonderful artwork.Next, let’s see its band and clasp. A good band need to be comfortable and durable in quality. So the replica has do it so well in this detail, a folding clasp with classic 316 stainless steel and has IWC LOGO in it. It reveals the taste of gentlemen and active sport style fully.In the end, Let’s see an important element, this IWC Portuguese replica is equipped with a powerful movement, it is high clone CAL.51011, can keep over 120 hours power reserve. If normal watch, uses ETA movement, mainly can keep about two or three days. So this replica is really an excellent one with high copy technology.In my point of view, this replica is deserve to have one, it is not so luxurious and complicated, but is elegant and dedicated. You need to have such replica as your special artwork in hand.
Rolex has graduated from a watch brand into a seismic force to which the regular rules do not apply. While it is far (far) from guaranteed that any Rolex watch you buy will appreciate from the day you bought it, time is showing us that these models, both old and new, endure the fluctuations of the watch market very well indeed.And, in fact, buying a pre-owned model might well be the very best thing you can do in the case of Rolex. Many of the new professional models are simply unattainable without waiting an inordinate amount of time – or without paying an exorbitant grey market mark-up to skip the queue. Older professional models are available for prices below those of a new model, and present the chance to pick-up a potential classic while also expanding your knowledge of the crown.Part of the joy of the watchmaking game is getting to know the tiny ticker on your wrist. Buying modern watches because they are in vogue is all well and good, but it can sometimes be a bit of a rushed exercise (thanks to all that competition). A far nicer, and (in my opinion) rewarding way to pursue this hobby is to consciously decouple oneself from the pursuit of luxury, or status, or the latest trend, and instead put stock in the long road. Read about old models. Pore over their nuances. Allow yourself to appreciate how certain models and certain designs can somehow, almost inexplicably to a modern mind, encapsulate an era so perfectly. These wordless time capsules are worth seeking, as they can, in a single glance, remind us of a simpler time when things didn’t move so fast.My first Rolex was a Rolesor Datejust from 1985. I bought it pre-loved after finally managing to get over my thirst for Pepsi, and having hit the history books in search of inspiration. It cost me around $4,000 and it looked brand new but so satisfyingly anachronistic. Vintage is not for everyone, but before you dismiss it as an option, remember that whatever you like right now will be old someday soon. And it is only with the passing of time that we’re really able to understand what has managed to stand its test.
The men’s Rolex Submariner was developed in 1953 and made its official debut during Basel Watch Fair the following year. One of the first dive watches to offer a 100-meter depth rating, the Submariner essentially paved the way for the modern dive watch as we know it today. Over the years, the Submariner has seen many notable upgrades, including the addition of a date display in the 1960s, the switch from acrylic to sapphire crystals in the late 1970s, and the change from radioactive tritium to photoluminescent lume in the 1990s. The Submariner was initially only available in stainless steel; a two-tone variant didn’t become available until 1984 via the ref. 16803.That brings us to the two examples that are featured here in today’s comparison video. The Rolex 16613 made its debut in 1988 and was the final aluminum bezel Submariner. The ref. 116613 was introduced in 2009 and features a completely redesigned feature set that swapped the aluminum bezel out for a tougher Cerachrom ceramic insert and features an all-new case and bracelet design. While both references are similar, they each bring a different aesthetic to the table.The Rolex Submariner 16613 was produced for over twenty years. During that time, it became available in many variations, including either a black or blue dial and bezel set, stunning champagne or silver “Serti” dials adorned with gems, lug holes on the case or no holes, and different luminous material on the dial. Two features that remain consistent among the reference variations are the two-tone steel and gold finish of the case and the aluminum insert on the bezel.With the unveiling of the modern 116613 Submariner in Yellow Rolesor (aka two-tone stainless steel and 18k yellow gold) came a newer-style “Super Case” which, despite offering the same 40mm diameter as the ref. 16613, appears slightly larger. The lugs and crown guard are wider, and the bezel received a new mounting design, giving the case a slightly more robust appearance and refined bezel action.
In a word, the replica Rolex is currently the best blue Submariner 116619LB.The case is made of 316F stainless steel and measured to be 40mm in diameter, it is brushed in whole surface, one-piece forged case has better water resistant performance, including screw-in crown, you do not need to worry water enter into when washing hands or swimming. The bezel is blue ceramic and has silver markers engraved, there is a pearl on bezel that has silver edge. These bezel markers look more delicate than that of previous versions. Because of one-piece forged case, there is no gasp between the bezel and case. Blue dial echoes with blue ceramic bezel, white printings and superlumed hour markers as well as hands, the inner bezel has correct Rolex Rehaut engraved like genuine, as well as unique reference number.Using solid links on stainless steel bracelet, which is new Oyster style, the replica features a similar weight to original 116619LB. The bracelet is also one of the places I am pround of. Its polishing and craftmanship are better than any other versions. The factory researched the genuine watch and produced the bracelet that features the same folding structure as original. When opening the clasp, you can find the blacken Rolex Logo and other engraving, these are all done by laster machine, you can always tell a good quality replica from poor ones by checking these small details. Besides the super blue dial lume, the replica is powered by a super clone 3135 calibre, which is the latest 3135 movement in our watch market, it could be more stable and accurate than other 3135 replica movements. But you could also buy one with Asian 2836 at lower cost.Here are some pictures I just took from the watch that was borrowed from my watch supplier. By the way, the replica is also made by N factory, which is the pioneer that has been manufacturing such high quality replica Rolex for years.I have introduced the black Submariner 116610 LN before, it is a great work from Noob factory, the replica is the latest V6s version in our market and regarded as the best Submariner replica currently.
It is more like a dress watch, not a sports or diving watch. The watch is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet, but VS factory also offers rubber or nylon band for it. The dial has different color options like black, blue, grey, white, ect., but I like this dark blue. The replica Omega Aqua Terra watch has a case diameter of 41mm, its case is brushed, the middle links of the bracelet is polished, which is highly contrasting with the other polished metal part of the watch. VS factory makes the vertical patterns on the dial correct, 100% the same as genuine. All hour markers and hands are fully applied with Swiss lume. By the way, the replica is equipped with VSF custom-made Super Clone 8900 movement, it is not based on any Chinese automatic movement, this Super Clone 8900 is VS factory’s in-house calibre.It is very controversial that this Omega De Ville is in this top five list. There are a lot of sports Omega watches that are sold better than this De Ville Hour Vision. Yes, I admit that there are a lot of other best-selling Seamaster watches that are more popular than this De Ville. But in this list, I want to add one new face, we saw too many sports or diver’s watches in normal times. And this Omega De Ville Hour Vision is also the latest addition in our market. The case is made of polished stainless steel and 41mm in diameter. The dial looks large, this is one of the common features for all dress watches, the case part is restricted in structure, so the dial can look larger. Blue dial is elegant and has an elegant outlook. The movement is VSF custom-made super clone 8500, which has been researched and developed by VSF for several years.
