All good things must come to an end, and it is as true at Rolex as anywhere else. Over the years, certain pieces have disappeared from the portfolio, either replaced with an updated version or else retired completely. Rolex actually seems to make a habit of discontinuing many of their references with little or no warning, and for reasons only they understand. In some instances, the withdrawn watches are real fan favorites, and it leaves potential customers with just one option to get hold of them.Below, we take a look at five of Rolex’s most-loved discontinued models that are now only available on the pre-owned market.Rolex has a history of marking the key birthdays of a number of its icons with some kind of out-of-the-ordinary celebration, and in 2003, the Rolex Submariner celebrated its 50th anniversary. The world’s most famous luxury dive watch marked its half-century in style with the release of the ref. 16610LV, not only the first Submariner to be fitted with a black Maxi dial, but also the first to have a green bezel.Major departure that it was for the model, it became something of an opinion splitter. There had been variations on the traditional black bezeled pieces before – blue versions (although only on gold and two-tone pieces) being the most common; however, the emerald surround on this anniversary edition led to it picking up a nickname from both the ‘for’ and ‘against’ camps. Those who loved the new colorway called it the Kermit; those less keen christened it the Vomit Sub.
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.
The GMT-Master’s mechanics permit wearers to read two time zones simultaneously (or three time zones on the GMT-Master II) while its design is oh-so classically cool. A particularly gorgeous version for women is the new Rolex GMT-Master II dressed entirely in solid 18k Everose gold (the brand’s proprietary rose gold alloy) and accented with a two-tone black and brown colored Cerachrom (the brand’s proprietary ceramic alloy) bezel.The watch sports a 40mm case, which at just a hair over 12mm thick, looks great on ladies’ wrist as an oversized and luxurious sports watch. For a tighter fit, removing a link or two from the solid gold Oyster bracelet is a simple process. Plus, Rolex’s Easylink clasp system lets you micro-adjust the bracelet length by 5mm while on the go should cabin pressure cause some wrist swelling. Adjusting local time when you touch down is a breeze thanks to a local hour hand that can advance in one-hour “jumps” while the arrow-tipped GMT hand pointing to the 24-hour bezel lets you know what time it is at home.Packing light is the hallmark of frequent and savvy travelers and when you need an effortless watch to wear on throughout your trip, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual is here for you. A time-only watch means that you don’t have to worry about changing the date and a sturdy and water-resistant (to 100 meters) stainless steel case can keep up with whatever adventure awaits you. The best part of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual line is that it offers a wide range of sizes (26mm, 31mm, 34mm, 36mm, and 39mm) to fit virtually any wrist, and dial styles come in a generous assortment of colors (black, white, purple, blue, pink, and green to name a few) and index styles (Roman numerals, Arabic numerals, and batons).If your travel destination involves packing some swimwear and heading to warmer climates, then the Rolex Yacht-Master is an ideal companion. As its name suggests, the robust Yacht-Master was built for a life at sea yet channels that cruise-collection chic vibe suitable for lounging on the deck.
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.
