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.
Are they likely to issue a Coke at some point in the future? It is impossible to tell, to be honest. There is already a decent amount of color in the range, with the blue and black ‘Batman’ pieces and the pair of ‘Root Beer’ examples. And with there actually being a total of three Pepsi’s – one in steel and two in white gold – maybe Rolex has decided that’s enough.That being said, the Fat Lady (that ref. 16760 original) turns 40 in 2023, and as already discussed, the brand loves a birthday. So, just maybe…Until then, we will have to content ourselves with the references available on the pre-owned market.Just about the rarest thing in the world (the world of horology at any rate) is for Rolex to succumb to audience pressure. Yet, in 2009, that’s exactly what happened when that venerable old warhorse, the Datejust, was issued in a new 41mm size. The largest Datejust option had been 36mm model since before the Earth cooled, but the trend for ever-increasing watch sizes was one the brand could only ignore for so long.However, the so-called Datejust II not only added a significant 5mm but also changed the proportions of the watch’s individual elements. The bezel grew broader, and while the case got wider, the bracelet didn’t, leading to thicker lugs. Overall, it traded the former model’s graceful, sweeping lines for a more muscular sporty profile, adding bigger hour markers on the dial to fill up the extra room.
However, rather than being fitted with the same style of bracelet that is found on other Date watches of the same circa, the reference 15238 Date is fitted with a rivet-link Oyster bracelet in 18k gold. The watch itself is fairly modern, both inside and out; however, this style of bracelet was most commonly seen throughout the 1950s and 1960s, and was phased out long before the reference 15238 ever made its first appearance. The unique combination of modern and vintage aesthetics provided by the unusual presence of the rivet-link bracelet, helps to set the reference 15238 apart and make it unique; however it also makes the watch an excellent option for those in the market for a slightly smaller alternative to the Day-Date that is also still crafted entirely from solid 18k gold.
Initially only available in White or Yellow Rolesor (Rolex’s name for a combination of steel and gold), they were just successful enough for an all-steel reference with a smooth bezel to follow in 2012.Yet it seemed to be too much of a design departure for either the traditional customer base or else the brand itself, and the Datejust II was discontinued by 2016. The Datejust 41 replaced it as a very much a scaled-up version of the 36mm piece, with the classic dimensions intact.But there was always a relatively small but enthusiastic audience for the DJII, as decidedly masculine a dress watch as you are likely to find. Issued with a range of dial options (although, strangely, only ever produced on the Oyster bracelet) it offers plenty of choices and is the ideal model for a larger wrist.Rolex is very proud of their patented Cerachrom ceramic alloy, and rightly so. Scratchproof, fade-proof, nigh on unbreakable, it is the perfect material for the brand’s bezels and it has been rolled out across most of the tool watch collection. On the Daytona, it is fitted to models forged from platinum, all three flavors of gold, and the only two steel pieces left in the contemporary lineup – those lusted after models which are more difficult to get ahold of than a Wonka factory golden ticket.But Cerachrom is a fairly new invention. Previous iterations of the stainless steel Daytona have always had steel bezels, something no longer obtainable if you are buying brand new. The last reference to have one was the ref. 116520, which ran from 2000 to 2016, and was the first Daytona to house Rolex’s own in-house chronograph movement, the Cal. 4130.
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.
In next year 2017, I think the factory will focus on releasing more new watches rather than continuously improving the old models, because I think such 116710 BLNR is already perfect, there are no places need to be improved, the last defect on the clasp has been corrected. If you are in pursuit of perfection, the only way to make the replica work more accurate is to install a genuine ETA movement for it, the factory offer clients such option if you can pay extra $80 usd for a genuine movement.The two big selling points of the replica lie in its bezel and function. First, the bezel uses real ceramic material, the blue and black color on bezel are real color of the ceramic, not painted, besides, the central blue hand with a big triangle is working in the same way like genuine, you can adjust GMT hand position through the crown. If you can replace with a genuine ETA movement and take good care of the replica in daily life, I mean, do not let it under water too often, it will serve you for 3-5 years. I am not cheating you, I have been in this area for years, I know how to modified these replicas to make them become stronger and realiable.Replica Rolex Explorer 216570 Watch with Clone 3187 MovementReplicating Rolex is the best job Noob factory has done, they have published a lot of good quality replica Rolex watches, including Submariner, GMT Master and Explorer, and they have always improved the details to continuously release the better versions of these watches. Among all Rolex watches, the best-selling ones are Submariner and GMT Master II, although Explorer II is not as hot as them, Noob factory has always been insisting on releasing the improved version of replica Explorer II. This time, the factory published an ultimate version of Explorer II, it is improved on the basis of V6s, the quality is better and lots of details have been improved, even a professional could not find any flaws on it. Modern Explorer II does not have too much changes, like this 216570, it inherits the original features of previous Explorer II models, so that you can easily recognize it even in a lot of Rolex watches.This V7 replica Rolex Explorer II 216570 has a lot of new features, but the most obvious one is that the watch is equipped with a clone Rolex 3187 movement. It is the first time for a factory to use a 3187 movement on Explorer II replica watch, before, you can only saw clone ETA series movement on Explorer II, now Noob factory installed such a high-grade clone 3187 movement into this replica, to make it harder to be identified as a replica. Even you open the case back, there are no wrong places you could find because the clone movement is the same as Rolex 3187. The clone 3187 has working GMT function, hand stack that you guys worried about before was also corrected this time.
