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.
While bidirectional rotating bezels may be quicker for wearers to turn to the appropriate spot, as a dive bezel it’s not the best option. If the bezel gets accidentally knocked, this could cause divers to miscalculate how long they have been underwater. Therefore, a unidirectional bezel is more prudent because accidental knocks to the bezel can only result in overestimating immersion time – it’s far preferable to start ascending to the surface earlier or spend longer than necessary at a decompression stop.Rolex began equipping the Submariner with unidirectional bezels starting with the Submariner Date ref. 16800, which was introduced around 1979. The no-date Submariner model received a unidirectional bezel with the introduction of the Submariner ref. 14060 in 1990.Like the previous generation, the new unidirectional bezels included aluminum bezel inserts. In 1983, Rolex introduced the first two-tone Submariner model in the form of the Submariner Date ref. 16803, which sported a yellow gold knurled bezel with a black or blue aluminum insert. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Submariner in 2003, Rolex introduced the stainless steel Submariner Date ref. 16610LV with a green bezel insert.In 2008, Rolex introduced the first Submariner models equipped with unidirectional bezels featuring Cerachrom inserts. Cerachrom is Rolex’s proprietary ceramic alloy that is not only resistant to scratching but also to fading. The 60-minute graduations are cut into the bezel and then the ceramic bezel insert is fully coated with either yellow gold (for yellow gold and two-tone models) or platinum (for white gold or steel models). The gold/platinum is then polished away from the ceramic surface until only the recessed numerals and markings are left with the metal filling.By 2012, Rolex had rolled out the Cerachrom bezels across all Submariner models and color options include black, blue, and green. A quick way to know the color of the bezel is to look at the letters in the reference number: LB (blue bezel), LN (black bezel), and LV (green bezel).
Arabic 3-6-9 hour markers and the reverse triangle mark are skeletonized, the disc on the bottom is applied white luminescence, so the four markers above will emit green light in dark place. Second hand features a round red dot.The Rolex Bamford Commando Submariner replica is equipped with an Asian clone ETA 2836-2 movement, which has 25 jewels and 28800bph. If you guys want to buy a genuine ETA model, I can ask the factory to install a real ETA 2836-2 movement for you Movement: Asian ETA 2836-2 Automatic, Nickel Plated Movement Plates, 25 Jewels, 28800BPH Case: 316L Stainless Steel, 40mm*13mm Bezel: Black Ceramic Bezel Insert Crystal: Sapphire Dial: Brown Sandwiched Band: Steel with Deployant Clasp Water Resistance: 30m Compared with other Submariners, I like 116610 LN more, because I think it is the most authentic Submariner Rolex has made, and indeed it has a high popularity among Rolex fans. Many people prefer steel black Submariner 116610 LN rather than these two tone and gold styles, but sometimes a luxury two tone Submariner is good for a certain group of people, they like the golden tone on the watch, so here I will introduce a good replica Rolex Submariner two tone watch, it is a perfect replica of Submariner 16613, the watch is made by BP, which is one of the factories that made the first batch of good quality replica Rolex.BP made this replica Submariner according to genuine watch 16610. Every Rolex replica made in the market is made by three major factories, they are BP, Noob and J12, these are good quality replicas. While the quality of these Rolex replicas made by other small factories can not be ensured. The 16613 replica here features a two tone appearance, it is made of 316L stainless steel, while its bezel, crown and the central links of bracelet are plated with yellow gold. The Submariner watch looks more luxury than others because of the yellow gold tone applied. Black bezel insert has golden markers engraved, the edge of the bezel is also plated with yellow gold. The whole case is brushed and solid case back has nothing. Streamlined case design looks great from the case side.Black dial is perfectly cloned, the dial design is also a great advantage of BP because it could make a Submariner dial that is closest to genuine.
IWC watch is one of my favorite brands, and Big Pilot is best of the best I think. A man who is wearing a IWC Big Pilot watch is very attractive to me. IWC Big Pilot watch is a great choice for normal business meetings, and also not bad for a date as well. Here comes a new factory released full ceramic replica IWC Big Pilot watch for you. Ceramic has become more and more popular material in the watch market nowadays, and many watch manufacturers release new ceramic designs. Because ceramic is not easy to be scratched and also looks very nice in designs.Have a look at the appearance of this replica IWC watch, the grey dial with white markers on it matching the ceramic case wonderfully. 48mm case with a 15.8mm thickness seems too big, but I think this is one of its specialty. Some of my customers would just love watches with big dial like this. The case is one piece mould and fine engineered balck ceramic brushed finish which is 1:1 compares to the original. The dial is covered by a sapphire crystal with Swiss standard double AR glass, this is really first class material for a replica watch. Move to the back, which is made of solid titanium as per original, with detailed top gun engraving on it. The only thing I don’t like this watch may be its bracelet, which is made of premium black nylon strap with insignia single fold over deployant clasp. The material makes it too casual, but this is just as the genuine way.
Movement: Asia Super Clone 3135 Automatic, 25 Jeweled, 28800BPH, Decorated Movement Plates and Auto Rotor Case: 40mm*13mm, Solid 904L Stainless Steel, 18K Yellow Gold Plated Bezel: Blue Ceramic, Uni-Directional Rotating Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown Logo at 6 o’clock Dial: Blue with Blue Lumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: Two Tone Style, 904L Stainless Steel, with 18K Yellow Gold Plated Water Resistant: 30m In these days, I was really tired and have not much time to write something new about replica watches, actually at the beginning of 2017, those factories seem not to release striking new models, I guess they are waiting for genuine new watches that will be published in BaselWorld. However, some factories, such as BP, are still bringing new surprise to us, this time, BP factory released a series of vintage Rolex Submariner replicas, this one Comex 1680 is one of them. Actually I remembered such type of vintage Rolex replicas were manufactured by another unknown factory, a factory that made the famous vintage Paul Newman Daytona replica, this time, not only BP made Paul Newman Daytona, it also produced this Comex Submariner. Every one who knows BP must remember their Rolex Submariner replicas have a very close quality to Noob Submariner, so now BP brings these vintage Rolex replicas to a new quality level.
For a number of years, modern consumer trends have been favoring larger watches. As a result of this, Rolex’s 34mm references have become somewhat forgotten in all the excitement and shuffle that surrounds their larger, sport/professional watchlines. However, recently it seems that smaller-sized watches are starting to make a comeback, and Rolex’s once-overlooked, 34mm watches now represent some of the best values for the money among all Rolex timepieces, both vintage and contemporary.When it comes to Rolex sports watches, the Submariner and Explorer II are amongst the most beloved. And despite the fact that they are both tough, purpose-built timepieces, they’re just about as different as it gets in nearly all respects.But if you’re not very familiar with either watch, comparing these two industry titans can seem daunting. So here, I’m breaking down everything you need to know – and compare – about the Rolex Submariner and the Rolex Explorer II.True sports watches, both the Submariner and Explorer II were built by Rolex with specific jobs in mind – and the hint lies in their names. Unsurprisingly, the Submariner is a divers watch, built to time out scuba dives and withstand the unrelenting pressure of 300-meter (1,000 foot) depths. In fact, this watch has been one of the world’s top diving watches since it was first released back in 1953.The Explorer II, on the other hand, was originally introduced in 1971 for speleologists who work in deep underground caverns. But like the original Rolex Explorer – the watch that provided its foundation – the Explorer II appeals to adventurers and explorers of all kinds, especially since its popular 40th anniversary remodel.
