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.
The most important is its bezel, which has the most accurate Ceramic Bezel Range, its bezel markers are all engraved and have the same depth. About the bezel tooth, when you are rotating the bezel, you will find they are easy to grasp and operate.People always said the dial is easily used to spot fakes, yes that’s right, but for this replica Rolex, it is the most accurate green dial I have seen on all Submariner 116610LV replicas, the thickness of printing, date font, they are completed perfectly, especially the dial lume, it is superlume blue, very strong and beautiful at night. The pearl on the bezel has the same lume on dot hour markers and hands. Finally, the Rolex Submariner 116610 LV replica uses an Asian ETA 2813 movement, which is 21 jeweled, this is the only difference between it and other higher end replica Rolex Submariner 116610 LV watches that are sold over $400 US Dollars.Specification of Rolex 116610 LV Green Submariner Replica Watch Movement: Asian ETA 2813 Automatic Movement, 21 Jewels Case: 40.5mm*13mm, Solid 316F stainless steel Dial: Green, Blue Lume on Hour Markers and Hands Crystal: Sapphire, AR Coating on Cyclop Band: Brushed Stainless Steel Oyster Bracelet with Rolesor Clasp Back: Solid case back with Hollogram Bezel: Green Ceramic with Blue Lume Bezel Pearl, Uni-directional Rotating, inner bezel has ROLEX on rehaut. Movement Hack Feature: Yes Clasp: New Rolesor Clasp Date: At 3:00 position (2.5 Mag, Set via Crown) Today fortunately get a genuine green Submariner from my friend, because I own a replica one which I bought from a dealer online several years ago, the replica is V5 version from N, which is also called Noob factory in Chinese replica watch industry. So, next I am going to make a comparison between the replica and genuine watch.Having seen the pictures above, do you recognize which watch is genuine, and which one is the replica? Here, first the genuine has two different green colors on dial and bezel, Noob V5 replica Submariner has the same green color on bezel and dial. Second, the front crystal glass of the replica outwards too much, however, the genuine crystal is much lower.Let’s check the crown logo printing on the dial. The color of crown logo is a little darker than that of Noob V5, genuine crown looks more refined with thinner “matchstick”. The inner bezel engraving is also different.The lettering at 6 is almost the same. Some people might say that the replica has thinner font “1000ft=300m”.The comparison of bezel tooth. The upper is genuine, below is replica.The small crown on the buckle, honestly there is almost no difference. Take a closer look, the genuine has more textured crown and refined clasp engraving. The color of clasp engraving is darker on genuine.The engraving on the genuine is more clear and refined, the letters ROLEXS.A. on the replica are fuzzy.The date font looks the same, can’t find any defect on the replica.The biggest news at the beginning of October is that Noob has published their V10 Submariner, including 116610LN and 116610LV, two models are the most popular Submariner in our market. Upon V9, Noob updated a lot on this new V10 edition. I did not realize that Noob will publish the V10 edition so fast, I thought they will publish it in next years.
OM started to make their reputation when they published the first Speedmaster Chrono with full functional hour and minute counter. In recent years, OM expanded their business to other models like Omega Seamaster and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, now, I see the potential this factory has, it has the ability to become a big factory.Today, I want to introduce one Omega Seamaster Diver replica watch from OM factory, it is the latest model whose dial has wavy texture. Before, the dial only has black and blue options, now, OM also offers this white dial option. Compared with the black and blue dial version, this one with white dial is my favorite.First, I do not like this Seamaster watch just because it uses a wavy texture dial. Why did Omega abandon their smooth black dial and adopt this wavy dial? I do not think this wavy dial is more classic. However, on this model, its white dial just smoothens the wavy texture, I did not even notice it if I have not checked carefully. Like the black bezel, the white dial uses real ceramic material, the black bezel matches the white dial perfectly, it makes the watch look more classic than the one with black dial. On the dial, both hour markers and hands are filled with white luminous material, in dark condition, you will see two different lume light emitting from the dial, OM factory makes the dial lume correct. The only flaw which I can find from the dial is that the edge of hour markers is a bit thick. Check the date font shown in the window opened at 6 o’clock, although it is centered, but the date font is not made to be perfect.
Case is made of 316L stainless steel and brushed. It is measured to be 40mm in diameter. From side view, the case has a nice arc degree, so this ensure the watch could fit your wrist perfectly. Crown uses screw-in construction like genuine and there are delicate engravings. On solid case back, there are six notches that are exclusive to IWC Mark series. Great polishing work you can see on the back. Opening the case back, you will find a soft iron cage that is antimagnetic between case back and movement, which is the same as genuine Mark XI. By the way, the bracelet is polished beautifully. The front face is brushed while its edges are polished. There are also “IWC” on the front and other engravings on back side. The buckle pin is polished. Now at last, the watch specification will be listed below:
There are totally four watches of IW503502, three of them are in white stainless steel, the other one has a rose gold case. I will take the stainless steel model with black leather strap for example. The case is made of solid 316L stainless steel, which is measured to be 44mm in diameter, case thickness is 14mm. Round case and thin bezel make the dial look bigger, this is the classic case design of most dress watches. As one of the most popular dress watches, IWC Portuguese has a simple case and elegant dial design. The front face of the lugs are polished, both sided faces of the case are brushed, the arc of the lugs is improved, it is closer to genuine. Case back is see-through sapphire crystal.
