One of the hottest and most sought-after releases in recent years was the reference 116500 Daytona in stainless steel with black Cerachrom bezel. With the exception of its bezel, the new Daytona 116500 was virtually identical to almost any other modern, stainless steel Daytona. However, the aesthetic impact of the black Cerachrom bezel is significant, and the presence of a solid black ring around the face of the watch completely changes the overall appearance of the new ref. 116500 Daytona.Additionally, the new black Cerachrom bezel is more than a little reminiscent of the black acrylic bezels that were fitted to several vintage Daytona chronograph references manufactured during the 1960s and 1970s, such as the reference 6241 and the reference 6263. Although the two materials are significantly different in a multitude of different ways, the black Cerachrom bezel on the new 116500 Daytona is very much the contemporary equivalent of the black acrylic bezel that can be found on a number of highly-desirable, vintage Rolex Daytona references.For the most part, Rolex only moves forward with their designs as they continuously work to refine and improve their watches. However, they have been known to occasionally borrow small design elements from some of their early watches, and implement them into the latest incarnations of their ever-evolving timepieces. Sometimes these design elements get re-imagined or modernized to reflect advancements and improvements in available materials and technologies (like the Cerachrom bezel on the Daytona). Other times, like in the instance of the 24-hour hand on the new Explorer II, these vintage-inspired, design traits get pulled right off a page from a 1970s Rolex catalog and get placed on a watch currently in production.
VR Factory offers two movement options, one is Sea-Gull 2824, the other is genuine ETA. The following photos show you two Submariner, one is with black dial and black ceramic bezel, the other is with blue dial and blue ceramic bezel.BL Factory Replica Rolex Daytona 116520LV – Green Lizard in the Rain Forest Replica Rolex Daytona 116520LV, has Rolex ever released this Daytona watch? I searched on Google and found all result pages saying this is a replica. So, I think that Rolex did not make this watch at all, it only exists in replica watch world, just like Daytona II and Sea-Dweller D-Green, I do not know why our watch factories made these replicas whose genuine models do not exist. Whatever, they have rich imagination. Let’s back to this Daytona replica watch, we call it a green lizard because the watch features a green ceramic bezel and green subdials on the white dial. The replica Rolex Daytona is made by BL, which is a very small factory in our market, now they made this Daytona that is unknown in genuine watch field, I think they have some creativity. Maybe next time they will bring us another unexpected surprise.Replica Rolex Daytona Green Replica Rolex Daytona Green Ceramic Bezel Why did BL factory name this Daytona 116520LV? I think they refer to the name of another Rolex watch, that is Submariner 116610LV, which also has a green ceramic bezel. This greey Daytona has a 40mm case that is measured to be 15mm in thickness, it is made of 316L stainless steel, not 904L stainless steel. I just posted the watch review on my blog and has not sold one, so if the watch has a good response from the market, maybe BL factory will upgrade the case steel material to 904L. Look at the photos, the case has a brushed face alternated with polishing. You can not operate the chronograph buttons unless they are unscrewed. Unfortunately, the back side of the lugs does not have engravings, while each genuine Rolex watch has, now you can see this tiny feature on the latest Daytona replica watches from Noob factory. Replica Rolex 116520LV Left Case Replica Rolex Daytona Crown and Chronograph ButtonsThe dial is white, three white subdials have green circles with silver white markers. The three small dials work accurately, they are small seconds hand at 6 o’clock, 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock and 12-hour chronograph counter at 9 o’clock. I think it will be more popular if the watch has a full green main dial with three silver subdials. Like other Daytona replica watches, this 116520LV also has luminous material being applied on hour markers, hour and minute hands.Replica Rolex 116520LV Case Back The bracelet is made of 316L stainless steel, it consists of three sections of links, the middle links are polished, which are contrasting with the brushed links at both sides. With a small screw driver, you can remove or install the links by yourself, it is very simple, just like you do it on a genuine watch. By the way, the replica watch is equipped with an Asia clone 4130 movement, which is based on a Chinese working chronograph movement.
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.
The biggest selling point of the Rolex YachtMaster II below is its thick 18K yellow gold coating, let’s see the details first.JF Rolex YachtMaster Replica Movement: Swiss Valjoux 7750 Chronograph, 28800VPH, Fully Functional ChronographCase: 44mm*14mm, 316L Stainless Steel with 5-mils 18K Yellow Gold Bezel: Blue Ceramic, Rotatable Dial: White Band: 18K Yellow Gold with New Style Rolesor Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 100m Rolex YachtMaster II 116688 Replica The Rolex YachtMaster II replica watch is made by J12, which is a factory that accumulated its popularity for making high end Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replicas in the beginning. Now J12 factory starts to manufacture Rolex replicas, which include Submariner and YachtMaster. In my opinion, in casing work, no factories can compare with J12 because it makes their greatest effort in polishing outstanding case. This gold YachtMaster replica uses 18K yellow gold on stainless steel case, the yellow gold coating is very thick, almost on the bracelet, a lot of Rolex fans asked me whether the gold coating will fade or not, I must say the yellow gold coating will never be worn, the factory uses more advanced technology on gold plating. Rolex YachtMaster II Gold Watch Look at the white dial, its classic YachtMaster style, there are red, blue, yellow gold and green colors on white background. All square hour markers feature yellow gold frame while its centre is filled with white luminescence. Small second hand is in green color, it works smoothly. Central hour and minute hands are in light blue, the color is a little lighter than the blue ceramic bezel.
