Then there’s the much more subdued fixed stainless bezel of the Explorer II which matches the case and features a 24-hour marked scale. This feature was specifically built for explorers who need to distinguish day from night – think cave explorers or polar explorers in the height of summer when the sun never sets.For decades, the durable and waterproof Oyster case on the Explorer II measured 40mm, but upon its redesign for the 40th anniversary of the collection in 2011, it was enlarged to 42mm. However, while Rolex produces a precious metal version of the Submariner, the Explorer II is exclusively offered in 904L stainless steel, and there have never been any solid gold or two-tone models ever produced. The current Explorer II is only offered on a steel Oyster bracelet with a Oysterlock clasp, but to be honest, when it comes to the Explorer II, collectors are much more concerned with what really makes this watch: the face.The dial of the Explorer II is iconic for a few reasons. The most notable being the colored 24-hour hand which circles the face. First there’s the iconic orange 24-hour hand, originally designed to help polar and cave explorers distinguish night from day, that gained its cult-status from the original “Steve McQueen” reference. Rolex eventually brought back the bright orange hand with much fanfare. Then there’s the red 24-hour hand which graced the dial for decades – it’s distinctly different than the orange hand with a skinnier body and smaller luminous triangle at the tip. The dials with a red 24-hour hand are far less punchy than their orange counterparts, but still make the Explorer II standout from the rest of the Rolex lineup.Then there are the dial colors – available in effortlessly-cool black and the coveted ‘polar’ white. The polar dial is totally cool and clean, the white face outfitted with white lume plots and Mercedes hands outlined in black. The black face on the other hand has a totally different appeal. While it boasts the same features, the darker face really highlights the stainless steel bezel, lume hour plots and lume-filled Mercedes hands (this time in white gold rather than finished black). It’s a punchier look, and the colored 24-hour hand – especially the orange one – shines against the black a little brighter.
Rolex or Omega? Which one is the first watch that landed on the moon. I think it is the Omega, what do you think? Because the name, Omega Speedmaster, it is also called Moonwatch. Although Speedmaster is not sold as well as the Seamaster of Omega, it also has some popular models, for example, the Dark Side of the Moon. Before the appearance of OM factory, there are only some small factories that were manufacturing the replicas of Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon, however, there were still a lot of people that have asked me about this watch since I opened this blog. Now, OM factory pushed the sales of replica Omega Dark Side of the Moon to another height. This model is even in the top five list of best-selling replica Omega watches.Like its name “Black Black”, the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon is in full black. The watch is made of black ceramic in case and bezel, 44mm case diameter is large but is exactly in line with our aesthetic standard. Solid ceramic case has brushed finish, it has a great texture and feels very good. Tachymetre scales on black ceramic bezel are in matt black. Two chronograph pushers use different processing, which is polished and contrasting with the brushed case.
Pilot is a popular series of IWC, and Pilot’s watch is loved by a lot of Swiss watch fans. IWC Pilot’s watch is divided into several branches, they are Mark series, Pilot, Spitfire and Big Pilot. Among them, Mark series and Big Pilot are most popular, while the Spitfire and Pilot chrono are also highly welcomed. I read some history of IWC before, it said that the design of Pilot’s watch got inspiration from the fighter in the Second World War. So I know why there is an airplane sculpture on the case back of some IWC Pilot’s watch, especially on the Spitfire. Today, the IWC Pilot watch I am going to introduce is a limited edition model, it says “150 Years” on case back, does this mean that this model is produced to commemorate the 150th anniversary of IWC Pilot’s Watch? Anyone who knows can tell me about this. The reference number is IW377725, it is limited 1000 pieces in quantity, while you can get this replica watch at any time, its stocks will last for a long time, Z factory offers us a big inventory. Yes, the replica IWC Pilot watch I am going to talk in the following article is made by Z factory, which also named ZF, some website wrote its name “ZF factory”, whatever, they are all correct names. If have ever read my articles, you will know ZF makes the best replicas of IWC, Tudor and some Panerai watches. Now, this Pilot Chrono 377725 is the latest addition to their big IWC replicas family.
There are diving markers on bezel but no pearl set at 12 o’clock. On solid case back, there are engravings of “STEALTH MK IV” on case rim, and featuring an engraved pattern of SBS’ Frog on the centre.The dial is also in black, you will see larger hour markers and fatter hands on this dial, yes, we call it Maxi Dial, which is only used on some Rolex models. So it is very rare. The hour markers have black luminous material applied, so do the hands. All printings on dial are in white color, except the “STEALTH”, which is black in white square background. The date window is set at 3 o’clock, black date font is in white background, it is curious that this Submariner replica watch does not have a date cyclob.The replica watch is equipped with an Asian ETA 2836 movement, which is used on most replica Rolex and gets a better stability than other automatic movement. Some people here always ask me to change a genuine ETA movement for their orders, but I have to say that only certain replica watches made by big factories could be installed with genuine ETA movement. By the way, for all chronograph watches, they can’t be equipped with genuine ETA 7750 movement in replica watch field.Finally, let us see the nato strap, it is a single strap in full black, which is exactly matching the black pvd case of the replica. There are three black steel keepers on the strap. It is very easy for the wearer to remove the band and replace a new one in any color, but you must ensure the new installed band meets the black theme of this replica Stealth Rolex.The replica is the best verion of blue Submariner, it is also the best seller in 2015 and continues to make its legend. There is an anti-counterfeit laser crown at 6, common versions his it printed, the bezel markers are in silver while other versions are in white. The replica has a lot of things improved, the bezel has the same construction as genuine, it has the same clicking sound as genuine, the bezel markers are deeply engraved, crystal is sapphire, the proportion of Crown Logo on dial is modified, the laser crown is in crystal not printed, it consists of laser points. The connector between case and bracelet is improved, black clasp engraving is closer to genuine. There is an independent laser reference number on inner bezel at 6, each watch is unique.
