The Oyster case was an innovation of its time when it was developed by Rolex in 1926. It ushered in a brand new era of durable, everyday watches that could be worn during almost any activity without damaging the internal movement. The Submariner takes the design of the Oyster case one step further and increased its waterproofness up to 300 meters/1,000 feet.The ref. 16613 features a standard 40mm case in highly corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel. An 18 karat yellow gold screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel accompany the case, giving it a desirable two-tone design. The dial and bezel set are most commonly available in either black or blue, with some examples of the gem-set “Serti” dial (either champagne or silver in color and set with diamonds and blue sapphires) also available on the secondary market. Depending on the year produced, the ref. 16613 also features either a holes or no holes case and either Tritium or LumiNova used for the luminescence on the dial and hands.Regardless of the year of production, all two-tone Rolex 16613 Submariner watches are powered by Rolex’s trusty Caliber 3135 automatic movement. The 31-jewel movement beats at a rate of 28,800bph and includes a date complication, a 48-hour power reserve, automatic winding technology, and a sophisticated Breguet overcoil balance-spring. The movement has been a fixture in many Rolex wristwatches for more than three decades, and for a good reason. The Cal. 3135 has proven itself to be an accurate and robust movement, which can deliver decades of reliable performance if properly maintained.
Since 1969, the gold Submariner has become a staple in Rolex’s catalog and has since been joined by two-tone steel and gold Submariner references in addition to 18k white gold Submariner models and even lavish gem-set Submariner examples. It’s clear that there’s no need to choose between a functional dive watch and a luxurious gold dive watch when you can have the best of both worlds in one striking gold Rolex Submariner.Instead of the flat lume plots found on stainless steel Submariners of the era, the yellow gold Submariner 1680 had dials with raised gold hour markers with tritium luminous centers – which eventually picked up their “nipple dial” nickname. Of course, since the Submariner 1680 had a date window, Rolex furnished the acrylic crystal protecting the dial with the customary Cyclops date magnification lens. However, by the late 1960s, the Submariner case had already grown from its original 37mm diameter to the now-standard 40mm (the Submariner ref. 5512 was the first to sport this case size, circa 1959). So, not only did that leave some extra room on the dial for a date window, but since Rolex certainly wanted to grow Sub sales outside of just the dive crowd, fitting a Submariner with a date indication would indeed be a practical addition to a daily sports watch. By the end of the 1960s, the first Submariner Date surfaced as the Reference 1680. Evey one loves Rolex, yes, I love it more than you guys, especially the Daytona, which is a classic Rolex that combines precious metal and practical function. Daytona is suitable for both men and women, sometimes it looks more elegant on women’s wrist, the rainbow Daytona is exactly a Rolex specially created for lady. I also saw some leopard Daytona before, but I never came across a high end replica one. Rolex is the best-selling watch in the world, also loved by you guys who like to buy replicas, so, I will give reviews on more replica Rolex in the future. Today, the watch is a super replica from famous Noob factory, the white steel is the most popular tone among all Daytona models. Those red elements on the dial make the watch perfectly meet its theme – bleeding red race passion.Replica Rolex Daytona 116509-78599 The watch is a 100% 1:1 replica of original Daytona 116509-78599. It is the latest and best version from Noob, other factories like J12 and BP also made this replica, but the best one is from Noob. Maybe the casing and bracelet finishing are better on J12 version, but I have to admit this replica 116509 from Noob factory has the lowest repair rate.Replica Rolex 116509-78599 Daytona Chronograph The black dial is the biggest spot of this replica. Main black background perfectly matches red color. Those printings like “ROLEX” and numeral markers on subdials are all in white color, the white and red colors form a sharp contrast and strong visual storm on the black dial. All hour markers are silver Arabic numbers except three luminous bars at 3, 6 and 9. The centre of the hour and minute hands is also applied white luminescence. Three small hands on the subdials and the big central second hand are in red, which echoes with the red minute scales.About its function, like genuine, small second hand is running on the 60-second subdial at 6, subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock are for minutes and hour chronograph separately. If you want to activate the chronograph function, you just need to push the button at 2, but firstly you need to loose the screw on that button, when you push the 2:00 again, the central red hand will stop. If you want the red hand back to 12:00, just push the button at 4 o’clock. So, the replica Daytona works 100% the same as genuine. To adjust the time and wind the watch, just operate the crown.
So, we can see how charming these vintage watches are. This time, I will introduce a classic vintage Submariner from BP factory, it is Ref.5508.Rolex Submariner Blue Watch 5508When you first see this watch, you will be attracted by its blue color. yes, both bezel and dial are in blue. With chocolate nato strap, the watch will bring you a visual striking at first. In my experience, every vintage Rolex I saw in replica watch world is either equipped with a rivet steel bracelet or a nato band. If you want both, that is ok. The case is measured to be 38.5mm in diameter, which is a little smaller than modern Submariner. The lugs are brushed, the vintage Rolex crown is also different from modern Rolex’s. Blue bezel insert is metallic made with white printed markers, those bezel markers are not applied with luminescence except the bezel pearl that is filled with white luminous material. By the way, the bezel clicking tooth is not that as deep as that on modern Submariner watches.Blue Vintage Submariner Rolex CrownTo identify this replica Rolex as a vintage Submariner, you can easily tell by observing is blue dial. Hour markers and hands are applied with patina luminescence, not white. Those patina luminous material will emit strong green light at night.

Like we said before, the watch has a chocoate nylon strap, however, the clasp does not have a fastening Rolex Crown buckle. If you requested, I can get you one extra pair of that band.

Although the Rolex Submariner began its life in 1953 as a sturdy no-frills stainless steel dive watch, today, this famed diver is considered to be one of the world’s greatest luxury watches – while still very capable of plunging into the deep to accompany aquanauts. The Sub’s graduation from utilitarian to upscale no doubt began when Rolex introduced the very first Submariner in solid yellow gold. Nothing says fancy like armor made of shiny precious metal. Let’s find out which reference was the first Rolex Submariner gold watch and lay out the details. When your life depends on a limited tank of oxygen strapped to your back, you are naturally more concerned about the passing minutes rather than what day it is. Which explains why early dive models from the 1950s (Fifty Fathoms, Submariner, Seamaster 300, Breitling Superocean, etc.) didn’t worry about putting a date window on the already limited real estate of the dial. The First Yellow Gold Rolex Submariner Not only did Rolex make the Submariner ref. 1680 in stainless steel, but the company also manufactured a solid yellow gold Submariner 1680. It’s important to note that the first yellow Sub is sometimes simply called the yellow gold Submariner 1680 or the Submariner 1680/8; however, it is not the Submariner 16808 – that’s an entirely different generation. Back to the yellow gold Submariner Date 1680. Rolex’s first gold diver made its debut in 1969, flaunting an 18k yellow gold 40mm Oyster case fitted with a matching 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelet. Early examples of the Submariner ref. 1680/8 featured a rotating bezel with a black aluminum insert and a matching black dial.
IW389001 is in whole black, including the dial, it is the model I prefer. While IW389002 has a green dial. There is one little difference between the two watches on the dial, that is IW389002 has a red circle on the center of the dial to display 12 hours. Two subdials are positioned at 12 and 6 o’clock. The subdial with a small red hand is small seconds subdial, while the subdials at 12 o’clock have two small dials in sunken design, the outer one is 60-minute chronograph counter, while the inner one is 12-hour chronograph counter. All hour markers are in white, the markers at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock are applied with luminous material, they will emit a strong green light at night.Compared with the green dial of IW389002, I like the black one of IW389001 more. It has a match of white details in blackground, which greatly increases the dial readability. Black looks cooler too.
Both bezel and dial use real ceramic material, platinum coating on the bezel markers can prevent fading. The dial uses the same material as genuine watch. Central hour and minute hands are skeletonized on the center, both hands are sword-shaped, which is one of the iconic features of Omega Seamaster. V6 uses genuine Swiss Superlume material on hour markers and hands, check the lume light in dark conditions, it will surprise you.Rubber band is an ideal choice for such a diver’s watch. It is waterproof, the band still feels comfortable even it gets wet. Besids, rubber strap can better fit different sizes of wrist than any other bands. Do you like one of the three Omega Seamaster Diver watch? There are heavy pictures below.
