By the way, the lume is strong blue and the diamonds are not genuine.116613 is one of the best-selling Submariner watches, its popularity is next to the black Submariner 116610LN. 116613 is popular because it is a two tone model, and the watch features a blue bezel and blue dial. Today, the replica Rolex Submariner is made by AR factory, its case and bracelet are made of 904L stainless steel, now on this model, only AR factory uses 904L stainless steel, even Noob has not used. The replica watch was just published by AR factory in last week. Now, let’s take a close look at its photos.The watch has a 40mm case diameter, it is 13mm thick, which is the same as genuine. The case is not only made of 904L stainless steel, but the golden part uses 18K yellow gold, whose layer is measured to be 5 mils, it is so thick, you do not need to worry about the fading of golden layer. The bezel uses real ceramic material in blue color. The golden markers on bezel exactly echoes with the golden case and bracelet. Now, AR factory uses special process to fix the bezel, so it will not fall off easily.Blue dial is the ocean theme representation of the blue Submariner watch. There are golden dial printings and golden edge on hands and hour markers. Swiss lume material is fully filled in round dotted hour markers and hands. The blue lume color of the dial is very close to that of genuine watch. The silver rehaut has correct engravings, at 6 o’clock, there is serial number engraving on the rehaut like genuine.Behind the solid case back, there is a high quality movement inside, it is a super clone 3135. The movement has all necessary engravings on the plate, which looks the same as genuine Rolex 3135. This movement has its own advantages and disadvantages, whatever, if you have ever owned a genuine Submariner watch, you will know its perfect winding feeling, which this fake Submariner will also give to you.The specification of the watch.
The dial is in dark grey and got its design idea from the dashboard on Spitfire. So is the replica. Case diameter is 43mm, so the dial looks big. With a sloping inner bezel and sunk subdials, the whole dial looks very three-dimensional. 60-second small dial positioned at 6:00 is for small seconds display, top subdial at 12:00 is for minute chronograph. Small second hand is in striking red. There is a fan-shaped window at 3:00 with a triangle mark that is pointing at current date. White lume is applied on hour markers at 12, 3, 6 and 9, so are on hands.Like case, the bracelet is also made of solid 316L stainless steel, it contains five sections of links. The clasp is so special because it has unique fish-scale patterns, we call them Geneva Stripes that were only found on movement plates before. Deployant buckle has a polished square metal part that has engraving “IWC”. Inside the case, it is a Valjoux 7750 movement, well it is a cloned one, not real Swiss ETA 7750. But the factory used a Shanghai chronograph movement to clone this 7750 movement, if you know something about Shanghai Watch Factory, you will learn that Shanghai 7750 is the most stable chronograph movement used in replica watches. At last, let’s check the watch specification of this replica.
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.
Rolex is a true pioneer in watchmaking technology. Among their most significant inventions is the Submariner, which was the first watch ever to offer water-resistance of up to 100 meters. The now-iconic Rolex Two-Tone Submariner was the inspiration behind the flourishing dive watch market as we know it, and almost every dive watch in existence today was in some way influenced by the Rolex Submariner. While it was developed for use while underwater, the Submariner has since become a coveted timepiece among collectors of all professions. The line is varied and offers a feature set to suit almost any wrist. However, today we will take a closer look at an earlier model of their Rolesor two-tone steel and gold Submariner ( Rolex Submariner two-tone ). The Rolex 16613 Two-Tone Submariner.The Rolex Submariner was developed in 1953 and made its official debut a year later at Basel Watch Fair 1954. As previously mentioned, the collection was the first to offer resistance to depths of up to 100 meters, which would then evolve into 200 meters, before increasing once again to its current and impressive 300-meter depth rating. In true Rolex fashion, the Submariner was carefully refined over the years to include a safer unidirectional bezel, improved materials, and a higher-beat movement.The original model was presented in stainless steel with an all-gold variation following in the late 1960s and a two-tone option coming to market in 1984 via the ref. 16803. The ref. 16613 was released a few years later in 1988 and enjoyed a long production run before being discontinued and replaced in 2009 with the current Cerachrom ceramic bezel 6-digit ref. 116613, marking the end of the aluminum bezel Rolex Submariner two-tone watches.
