At the heart of the Deepsea’s case is Rolex’s patented Ringlock system, which uses a super hard, nitrogen-alloyed steel central ring to internally support both the extra-thick sapphire crystal and the Grade 5 titanium caseback. While the Ringlock system is largely responsible for the overall increase in the case size of the Deepsea, it actually enables the watch to be smaller than it otherwise would be, had it were to follow a more traditional case design while still retaining its same colossal depth rating.The primary purpose of the Ringlock system is to reduce the amount of stress placed on the case of the watch. As pressure on the watch increases at greater depths, the majority of it gets exerted on the front and back surfaces of the watch. Since the nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel compression ring internally supports both the crystal and the caseback of the Deepsea, the amount of force exerted on the actual case itself remains relatively minimal. Additionally, as the crystal and caseback get squeezed together, with the majority of the force being supported by the internal compression ring, the front and back gaskets of the watch get pressed together, ensuring an extra tight seal.The caseback on the Rolex Deepsea consists of two components: an inner caseback made from Grade 5 titanium, and an outer, screw-down caseback ring that is constructed from Oystersteel (904L stainless steel). With a traditional, single-piece, caseback design, the entirety of the pressure placed on caseback gets exerted on the case of the watch itself, particularly near the threads. By separating the caseback into two components, Rolex is able to redistribute much of the force being exerted on the rear surface of the watch. The outer, screw-down ring performs the sole duty of keeping the inner, titanium caseback tight on the watch, while the nitrogen-alloyed steel compression ring ultimately supports all the pressure being exerted on the titanium case-back itself.
For a number of years, modern consumer trends have been favoring larger watches. As a result of this, Rolex’s 34mm references have become somewhat forgotten in all the excitement and shuffle that surrounds their larger, sport/professional watchlines. However, recently it seems that smaller-sized watches are starting to make a comeback, and Rolex’s once-overlooked, 34mm watches now represent some of the best values for the money among all Rolex timepieces, both vintage and contemporary.When it comes to Rolex sports watches, the Submariner and Explorer II are amongst the most beloved. And despite the fact that they are both tough, purpose-built timepieces, they’re just about as different as it gets in nearly all respects.But if you’re not very familiar with either watch, comparing these two industry titans can seem daunting. So here, I’m breaking down everything you need to know – and compare – about the Rolex Submariner and the Rolex Explorer II.True sports watches, both the Submariner and Explorer II were built by Rolex with specific jobs in mind – and the hint lies in their names. Unsurprisingly, the Submariner is a divers watch, built to time out scuba dives and withstand the unrelenting pressure of 300-meter (1,000 foot) depths. In fact, this watch has been one of the world’s top diving watches since it was first released back in 1953.The Explorer II, on the other hand, was originally introduced in 1971 for speleologists who work in deep underground caverns. But like the original Rolex Explorer – the watch that provided its foundation – the Explorer II appeals to adventurers and explorers of all kinds, especially since its popular 40th anniversary remodel.
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.
