Today, I will take Submariner 116610LV for an example, and picked up two best replicas to make a comparison review, hope you can learn something that will help you to make decision when need to buy one. About two best replicas of Submariner 116610LV, one is made by Noob, its latest version is V9, the other is made by AR factory, the latest version is V2. In their 116610LV, both Noob and AR can install Asia clone 3135 and Asia clone ETA movement in it, today, I will choose the model with Asia clone ETA movement to make this comparison.I got both watches before, and I think AR makes a better case. When I first got the ARF 116610LV on hand, I loved it, simply speaking, it gives me a genuine feeling. You know, I am not a watch expert and I will not make a very detailed and close comparsion between a replica and genuine, so the first feeling a replica watch gives me is very important. Although both Noob and AR factory make Green Submariner 116610LV with 904L stainless steel, and the case thickness is also the same, which is 13mm, but the case finish of AR is better than Noob, I also feel more comfortable when wearing the ARF 116610LV.The bezel of ARF 116610LV is better. First, both Noob and AR factory use green ceramic insert on the bezel, the green color used by both factory is very close to that of genuine watch. However, the polishing of the bezel is better on AR factory, and there is no gap between the bezel and case, on some V9 models Noob factory published, there is tiny gap existing, hope they can improve this flaw next time. Finally, the luminous coating on bezel markers has a platinum color tone like genuine on both Noob and ARF.Both Noob and ARF have their own advantages on the green dial. The white printings on Noob are more accurate than ARF, after all Noob has upgraded this replica to V9 edition, every time when they upgraded this watch, the dial printings could be improved. About the date window, AR has a more neat date font, when you first see it, you will choose AR, however, if you carefully with genuine, Noob has a correct date font. At last, about the hands, Noob makes them with iron, and the iron sheet is very thin, while AR makes them with stainless steel, so, whether in material or finish, the hands of AR are better than Noob.Both Noob and AR factories make dial lume correct.On the ARF V2 Edition 116610LV, the bracelet finish has been completed to be perfect, it can be even exchanged with genuine watch. Although being made with 904L stainless steel both in Noob and ARF, but Noob can not achieve such a high quality level in bracelet finish. On every piece of 116610LV Submariner AR factory has published, the bracelet fits case perfectly and no gap, but the gap between case and bracelet may exist on some pieces of Noob 116610LV.
The most important is its bezel, which has the most accurate Ceramic Bezel Range, its bezel markers are all engraved and have the same depth. About the bezel tooth, when you are rotating the bezel, you will find they are easy to grasp and operate.People always said the dial is easily used to spot fakes, yes that’s right, but for this replica Rolex, it is the most accurate green dial I have seen on all Submariner 116610LV replicas, the thickness of printing, date font, they are completed perfectly, especially the dial lume, it is superlume blue, very strong and beautiful at night. The pearl on the bezel has the same lume on dot hour markers and hands. Finally, the Rolex Submariner 116610 LV replica uses an Asian ETA 2813 movement, which is 21 jeweled, this is the only difference between it and other higher end replica Rolex Submariner 116610 LV watches that are sold over $400 US Dollars.Specification of Rolex 116610 LV Green Submariner Replica Watch Movement: Asian ETA 2813 Automatic Movement, 21 Jewels Case: 40.5mm*13mm, Solid 316F stainless steel Dial: Green, Blue Lume on Hour Markers and Hands Crystal: Sapphire, AR Coating on Cyclop Band: Brushed Stainless Steel Oyster Bracelet with Rolesor Clasp Back: Solid case back with Hollogram Bezel: Green Ceramic with Blue Lume Bezel Pearl, Uni-directional Rotating, inner bezel has ROLEX on rehaut.

So, next I am going to make a comparison between the replica and genuine watch.Having seen the pictures above, do you recognize which watch is genuine, and which one is the replica? Here, first the genuine has two different green colors on dial and bezel, Noob V5 replica Submariner has the same green color on bezel and dial. Second, the front crystal glass of the replica outwards too much, however, the genuine crystal is much lower.Let’s check the crown logo printing on the dial. The color of crown logo is a little darker than that of Noob V5, genuine crown looks more refined with thinner “matchstick”. The inner bezel engraving is also different.The lettering at 6 is almost the same. Some people might say that the replica has thinner font “1000ft=300m”.The comparison of bezel tooth. The upper is genuine, below is replica.The small crown on the buckle, honestly there is almost no difference. Take a closer look, the genuine has more textured crown and refined clasp engraving. The color of clasp engraving is darker on genuine.The engraving on the genuine is more clear and refined, the letters ROLEXS.A. on the replica are fuzzy.The date font looks the same, can’t find any defect on the replica.The biggest news at the beginning of October is that Noob has published their V10 Submariner, including 116610LN and 116610LV, two models are the most popular Submariner in our market. Upon V9, Noob updated a lot on this new V10 edition. I did not realize that Noob will publish the V10 edition so fast, I thought they will publish it in next years.
Like genuine watch, the case uses two different craft, polishing on lugs and brushing other case parts. Bezel uses real brown ceramic and is engraved with white tachymeter scales. Noob Replica Rolex Daytona Ice Blue Brown Ceramic Bezel Sapphire crystal is thick, the height above the bezel is the same as genuine. Observe the crystal at a certain angle, you will find a tiny Rolex crown in the crystal at 6 o’clock. Under crystal, it is a ice blue dial, which has three ice blue subdials, they are all working. All hands on the dial and hour markers are in silver tone, with Swiss Blue Superlume applied. The ice blue dial has a high quality texture, it costed watch masters a lot of time to design such a textured dial that features sun-ray patterns.Replica Rolex Daytona Ice Blue Weight I have weighed the watch, like the picture saying, it is about 143g, which is very similar to weight of genuine watch. Because made of solid stainless steel, the case and bracelet are polished well, so the replica will have a superior wearing comfort.

Noob makes the best, J12 is a new rising factory that specilizes in producing 1:1 highe end AP replicas, now they also make good quality Rolex replicas. As I mentioned before, at the beginning of 2018, a lot of new factories appeared in our market, like AR, VR, GM, they followed the steps of seniors and started to replicate popular Rolex Submariner models like 116610LN, 116610LV, etc. Some of my blog readers, also they are potential buyers, always asked me which factory has the best Submariner 116610LN or Green Submariner, why so many people are asking this? Because there are so many factories, they are misguided by different manufacturers and various versions from the same factory. Here I give you one basic guideline to follow to buy the best black sub or green.
