Rolex has graduated from a watch brand into a seismic force to which the regular rules do not apply. While it is far (far) from guaranteed that any Rolex watch you buy will appreciate from the day you bought it, time is showing us that these models, both old and new, endure the fluctuations of the watch market very well indeed.And, in fact, buying a pre-owned model might well be the very best thing you can do in the case of Rolex. Many of the new professional models are simply unattainable without waiting an inordinate amount of time – or without paying an exorbitant grey market mark-up to skip the queue. Older professional models are available for prices below those of a new model, and present the chance to pick-up a potential classic while also expanding your knowledge of the crown.Part of the joy of the watchmaking game is getting to know the tiny ticker on your wrist. Buying modern watches because they are in vogue is all well and good, but it can sometimes be a bit of a rushed exercise (thanks to all that competition). A far nicer, and (in my opinion) rewarding way to pursue this hobby is to consciously decouple oneself from the pursuit of luxury, or status, or the latest trend, and instead put stock in the long road. Read about old models. Pore over their nuances. Allow yourself to appreciate how certain models and certain designs can somehow, almost inexplicably to a modern mind, encapsulate an era so perfectly. These wordless time capsules are worth seeking, as they can, in a single glance, remind us of a simpler time when things didn’t move so fast.My first Rolex was a Rolesor Datejust from 1985. I bought it pre-loved after finally managing to get over my thirst for Pepsi, and having hit the history books in search of inspiration. It cost me around $4,000 and it looked brand new but so satisfyingly anachronistic. Vintage is not for everyone, but before you dismiss it as an option, remember that whatever you like right now will be old someday soon. And it is only with the passing of time that we’re really able to understand what has managed to stand its test.
This replica with size of 44×17mm, and uses stainless steel in case and bottom so that it can has a good performance in abrasive resistance. It has brilliant blue dial together with white Arabia scale and hand, which is so easy to read the time. What’s more, it uses imported Swiss C3 noctilucent powder, which is one kind of nice material. It is star product in day time when with bright light, and it still can make watch shinning even at night. It can display Chronograph, week and date. Its surface decorates with sapphire crystal and Anti-Reflective Coating is almost covered all its whole body. It keeps beautiful and noble appearance and with good visual effect at the same time. When we see it carefully, we find that it with screw-in crown which is made of stainless steel. Its band is rubber, It will more energetic and rather active with such band . What’s more, it has water-resistance within fifty meters, it can satisfy your daily activity.
So, a lot of people who were Noob watch fans have turned to be clients of ARF. Today, I want to introduce two important Rolex watches AR factory just published several days ago, both are Datejust II models in 41mm, which is a trendy size in current watch industry. Two Datejust 2 watches have some common features, like genuine watches, the replicas are made of 904L stainless steel, and both feature a fluted bezel. The difference is that one is with a grey dial, the other is with a blue dial. I saw both watches and took these photos below, compared two of them, I like the Datejust II with grey dial more.About case, both are made of the latest genuine watch material 904L stainless steel, case is brushed, while the lugs are polished. The case finish is very good, which is the same quality level of Rolex made by JF factory. While I find one subtle flaw on the case, that is the back of lugs does not have engravings, while the replica Rolex made by Noob has. Compared replica Rolex watches between Noob and ARF, the quality of case finish of ARF is better than Noob, but if you do care about some detailed engravings, I suggest you buy from Noob. The fluted bezel is also made of 904L stainless steel, the tooth design on the bezel has the same size as that of genuine watch, the amount of bezel tooth is the same as original. The bezel fits the case body perfectly, so there is no gap for water penetration.About dial, the Rolex Datejust II 126334 replica has two options, grey and blue, I prefer the grey one, which looks more low-key, while the blue one looks more elegant. The grey dial matches the white stainless steel appearance better, the unique sunray polishing on the grey dial looks more obvious, I like such sunray polishing on the dial, it looks high quality. The inner bezel has Rolex’s famous rehaut engravings, which look exactly the same as genuine Rolex.
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.
As the old saying, someone who can keep the time, is the real hero. Nowadays, wrist watch is not just a timing tool, also not just a decoration only, it is more like a medium to reveal their own style and a symbol of the past time. Especially for someone who are so important for you, if they give you a wrist watch as gift, it may has special meaning, it not only memories the time, but also in memory of your love. Today I am going to introduce a kind of meaningful watch, it is a replica IWC Portuguese Chronograph, which is in a low-key but luxurious style, I am sure that you will be attracted by it deeply.
Because some other low-end 7750 replica watches are with chronograph movement assembled in Tianjin or Jieyang and other areas of China. Overall, Shanghai 7750 is the best. J12 factory uses Shanghai 7750 in this replica Daytona watch. Keep your focus on the dial, the small second hand works smoothly on subdial at 6. 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph counter are positioned at 3 and 9 separately. You must loosen the screw on pusher first, and then push it to start chronograph.When you first see this two tone Rolex Daytona replica, you will have another doubt. That’s the gold coating on case and bracelet. Will the gold easily fade? I must say no. Yes, I have to admit those gold watches produced in past years did have thin gold coating and easily got scratched. While this replica made by the big factory J12 has a thick gold plating, which is nearly 5 mils, so golden color will not fade easily. J12 Rolex Daytona Caseback I like this Daytona watch, the two tone makes it looks fabulous, black dial is really elegant, those hour markers feature gold edge, which exactly meets the golden tone of the watch. Hour markers and hands are all applied white luminous material, they all supply strong lume light in the dark. This Daytona watch will become the best selling model, its color match is the favorite of many watch fans, and J12 factory guarantees its super quality.Replica Vintage Rolex 5508 Blue Submariner Rolex Submariner 5508 Replica.In recent months, BP, which is a factory has produced a lot of high quality Rolex replicas, made several vintage Submariner replicas and attracted our attention. Those vintage Rolex like 1680 and 5513 are highly pursued because they have not been in stock in genuine watch market. I always like vintage Rolex and Panerai, I saw there is a close relationship between Rolex and Panerai in old times. I love vintage Rolex Submariner because most of them are equipped with nylon nato strap, which is my favorite band and could fit my thin wrist perfectly. Besides, vintage Rolex could let me know a lot of myths which you can not find on modern Rolex. There are a certain amount of people in the world who love searching for vintage watches that already do not exist, so they seek from replica watches market. For example, I have three clients coming from France, the United States and UK, everytime they contacted with me is for vintage Rolex, such as Daytona Paul Newman, Double Red Sea-Dweller or Submariner 1680, one of my clients has bought three vintage Submariner watches from me, and he kept asking for new models once there is.
And of course, the movements of both watches are COSC certified chronometers.But the bracelets are where we begin to see differences between the Sub and the GMT. The Submariner gets Rolex’s folding Oysterlock safety clasp with their Glidelock extension system. The GMT’s Oyster bracelet, on the other hand, buckles with a simpler folding Oysterlock safety clasp with and Easylink 5 mm comfort extension link. There have been multiple cases where the Submariner and the GMT are compared.The biggest difference between the two watches is the GMT’s additional hour hand tipped with a triangular “arrowhead.” This hand indicates the hours in 24-hour format. This fourth hand can be set independently of the main hour hand, and the 24-hour time is marked on the bi-directional rotating bezel.In fact, when moving across time zones, one can move the GMT’s regular hour hand to reset to local time without affecting the 24 hour hand’s position. This makes such adjustments easy and routine for the busy traveler.With the Submariner, choices of bezel and dial colors depending on the metal chosen means you have numerous variations from which to choose. The uni-directional bezel is marked in typical dive watch fashion of five minute increments, numbers each ten minutes, and the first fifteen minutes in one-minute tick marks.Even though the GMT features Rolex’s patented Triplock screw-down crown system, the watch is only rated to 100M/330Ft (in all metals). The Submariner is rated to 300M or 1000Ft. This is interesting, given that both watches are housed in the super case.So there you have it. The Submariner and the GMT-Master II are fraternal twins, nearly identical, but each with its own capabilities.5 of the Best Looking Rolex Cerachrom Bezels Rolex isn’t known for being particularly bold with design. However, what they are known for is being innovative, whether that’s creating their own alloys like Everose or mastering the art of hard-to-achieve colored dials. Most recently, one of their biggest innovations to roll out was their new and improved Cerachrom bezels, like those that can be found on the Rolex Daytona and GMT-Master II.Because the bezel on a watch is so exposed, it is often susceptible to shocks, corrosion, fading and scratching. Therefore, Rolex wanted to upgrade specific Professional models in their Oyster collection from aluminum bezel inserts to something much more durable. In typical Rolex fashion, they’ve created their own durable ceramic called Cerachrom – which is a mix of the words “ceramic” and the Greek word for color, “chrom.”Today, we’re looking at the best of the best of these Cerachrom bezels. The most good looking, handsome, and striking examples since this new material was rolled out.I wanted to note this one first because it just looks so different than the other Cerachrom bezels that Rolex has produced. That matte, sandblasted ceramic bezel has this effortlessly modern feel, and is kind of everything that you’d want to see out of a new material. Plus, that black bezel just totally pops against the Everose case.They said it couldn’t be done. When Rolex first unveiled their Cerachrom bezel in 2005, they did so in one solid color and actually admitted that it was just too hard to do a two-colored bezel with the material. Then in 2013, they presented us with this – a blue and black bezel that became instantly iconic. It was a great addition to the GMT-Master II lineup, but it also further illustrates Rolex’s dedication to innovation. Plus it’s totally sharp, right?This is a jaw-dropping look – that Chestnut brown monobloc Cerachrom against an icy blue dial. It’s unique, it’s beautiful, and it’s all executed so well. The Daytona is already a love-it-or-hate-it watch, so it’s fitting that they’ve chosen to go with such a bold, and frankly fun choice for the bezel here.The blue Cerachrom bezel on the Yacht-Master II is just striking. The way the bold blue contrasts against the white dial and Oyster case is just so elegant.
