It uses two half circle to covered the ring, which is liked the shape of sailing ship, so that it has a good connection with the topic of sailing. In addition, its ring splicing blue and white color skillfully. It is really control so well to distribute colors in dial. This unique design can make us enjoy the experience of watch wearing, which is liked experiencing an exciting sailing match happily, and it is easy to read at the same time. It can show the side of mature for men to use gray and black color in dial. The red second hand is the one of attraction, it helps us to have a good view when combined with various colors. Red is so bright that can be nice decoration in black dial. It can get rid of the trouble that we become tired with same color in the whole dial. From the surface which is decorated by sapphire crystal, we can see its beauty clearly. Its case is made of 316 stainless steel, which is one kind of classic material. Undoubtedly, It may be good guarantee in hardness.
While bidirectional rotating bezels may be quicker for wearers to turn to the appropriate spot, as a dive bezel it’s not the best option. If the bezel gets accidentally knocked, this could cause divers to miscalculate how long they have been underwater. Therefore, a unidirectional bezel is more prudent because accidental knocks to the bezel can only result in overestimating immersion time – it’s far preferable to start ascending to the surface earlier or spend longer than necessary at a decompression stop.Rolex began equipping the Submariner with unidirectional bezels starting with the Submariner Date ref. 16800, which was introduced around 1979. The no-date Submariner model received a unidirectional bezel with the introduction of the Submariner ref. 14060 in 1990.Like the previous generation, the new unidirectional bezels included aluminum bezel inserts. In 1983, Rolex introduced the first two-tone Submariner model in the form of the Submariner Date ref. 16803, which sported a yellow gold knurled bezel with a black or blue aluminum insert. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Submariner in 2003, Rolex introduced the stainless steel Submariner Date ref. 16610LV with a green bezel insert.In 2008, Rolex introduced the first Submariner models equipped with unidirectional bezels featuring Cerachrom inserts. Cerachrom is Rolex’s proprietary ceramic alloy that is not only resistant to scratching but also to fading. The 60-minute graduations are cut into the bezel and then the ceramic bezel insert is fully coated with either yellow gold (for yellow gold and two-tone models) or platinum (for white gold or steel models). The gold/platinum is then polished away from the ceramic surface until only the recessed numerals and markings are left with the metal filling.By 2012, Rolex had rolled out the Cerachrom bezels across all Submariner models and color options include black, blue, and green. A quick way to know the color of the bezel is to look at the letters in the reference number: LB (blue bezel), LN (black bezel), and LV (green bezel).
Now, Noob factory updated the watch again, besides continuously improved the movement realiability and stability, this time the factory used 904L stainless steel on the case and bracelet, it is the first time for the factory to use 904L steel on replica watches. Now, let’s see more details on this replica 116610LV.Because it is the eighth time improvement Noob factory made on this watch, so we called this watch Submariner 116610LV V8. The case, bezel, case back and bracelet are all made of stainless steel 904L, which uses the same material as genuine watch. This is the greatest improvement I have found on all replica watches, because those watches made in our market all use 316L stainless steel. If you have some knowledge about Rolex, you will know the advantage of 904L steel. Absolutely the price is also higher. Besides the case material, the case size is also made to be exactly the same as genuine 116610LV, the case diameter is 40mm, thickness is 13mm. Green ceramic bezel insert, with dial, the green color is closer to genuine watch. Bezel engravings are platinum tone, just like original bezel.Dial is green. Genuine Swiss Blue SuperLume is applied on three-dimensional hour markers and hands. All hour markers have silver edge around, those Rolex Rehaut on inner bezel are correctly engraved. Dial letterings and date have the correct font that are closer to genuine than all previous 116610LV replicas published before. The replica has a correct date mag of 2.5X. Inside the case back, there is a great clone movement, named Super Clone 3135, whose auto rotor and bridges are fully decorated to be exactly the same as genuine Rolex 3135 movement.Here are some specifications of the replica 116610LV:Movement: Super Clone 3135 Automatic, 28800BPH, Decorated Rotor and Bridges Case: 904L Stainless Steel, 40mm*13mm Bezel: Green Ceramic, Uni-Directional, Anti-Clockwise Crystal: Sapphire, Tiny Crown in Crystal at 6 Dial: SuperLumed, Green Bracelet: 904L Stainless Steel with Deployant Buckle Water Resistant: 50m Two tone is the element that mostly represents the luxury of a watch.
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.
Maybe they have already felt strong competitiveness from AR factory, if still can not bring us some big surprises, they will be completely defeated.Back to the V10 Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV. The biggest change is made on the bezel, which Noob factory claims that is could be interchanged with the bezel of genuine Submariner. The engraved depth of the bezel markers are the same as that of genuine Submariner, besides, the Platinum tone of the bezel markers will not fade as time goes by.About the movement, Noob offers two options, one is an Asia ETA 2836, the other is a Super Clone 3135. The latter one has the same time and date adjustment as genuine Rolex 3135 Calibre. Both have a high quality.Please read the following specification to know both watches better, and check a lot of photos below. Movement: Super Asia 3135/Asia ETA 2836 Automatic Case: 40mm*13mm, Solid 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Uni-directional Rotating Black Ceramic, Anti-clockwise Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown Logo at 6 o’clock Dial: Black with Superlume on Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: Solid 904L Stainless Steel with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 30m
The Rolex Submariner has been a part of the Rolex catalog for well over 60 years. As expected, the famed dive watch has undergone plenty of design and mechanical enhancements over the past six decades, including the all-important timing bezel. Read on to discover all the different types of bezels of the Rolex Submariner.When Rolex debuted the Submariner in 1953, the stainless steel dive watch included a rotating bezel marked to 60 minutes to allow divers to track immersion times. The steel bezel turned both ways for simple timing adjusting, the edge of the bezel was knurled for easy gripping underwater, and the insert was fashioned from black aluminum.The printed 60-minute scale on the earlier versions included markings for every 5 minutes, alternating between batons and numerals. By the late 1950s, Rolex started to include hash marks for the first 15 minutes on the bezel followed by 5-minute markings.Around 1969, Rolex introduced the first yellow gold Submariner, the Submariner Date ref. 1680/8. Accordingly, the knurled rotating bezel was fashioned from 18k yellow gold. What’s more, the Rolex Submariner ref. 1680/8 now offered the choice of either a black or blue aluminum bezel insert and matching dial.
