Looks-wise, the watch that comes the closest to an all-steel model is now the ref. 116509, which is cast in solid 18k white gold and has the price tag to prove it.That means a delve into the archives is the only avenue still open should you want one, and it is the previous generation that is proving the most affordable. The ‘Zenith’ Daytona ref. 16520, powered by the fabled El Primero, is still the gateway into steel Cosmograph Daytona ownership.Of course, the word ‘affordable’ is all relative. Prices start at around the $20,000 mark, which is a hefty slice of anyone’s money. Yet beyond being one of the most handsome and capable models ever made, any Rolex Daytona represents perhaps the surest investments watch collecting has to offer.It’s a tough call, but the starkly austere Explorer might well be the watch that has changed the least (visually) over its 70-year run. That is even for a manufacture that updates aesthetics at the glacial pace that Rolex does. Every reference, from the prototype Pre-Explorer ref. 6150 from 1952 up to the last of the ref. 114270s in 2010, have been simple three handers, with the beautifully legible white on black 3/6/9 dials, housed in a 36mm case.Then along came the ref. 214270, identical in the detailing but the first example to grow beyond the dimensions in 58-years, measuring 39mm. It increased in size for the same reason as the Datejust – fashions demanded it – but unlike that watch, it became the only option available.That is no bad thing. The Explorer is perhaps the last of the true tool watches in the Rolex catalog. There is nothing about any iteration of the watch that is designed to look flashy or draw attention to itself, and a few extra millimeters doesn’t change that. The new Explorer is basically the old Explorer, and whichever you choose will come down to whether your wrist size suits one or the other.Its strength has always been in its simplicity, and it remains one of the best value for money prospects on the pre-owned Rolex market. $5,000-$6,000 is the buy-in point for a well set up example of the ref. 114270 or, if you fancy going the real vintage route, the celebrated ref. 1016 (personal timepiece of James Bond author Ian Fleming) starts at a little over twice that. Tough, elegant and perfectly built, the Explorer has always stayed true to Rolex’s roots.
The Pearlmaster is the ultimate luxury-oriented Rolex timepiece. Sitting somewhere at the crossroads of watchmaking and jewelry, the Rolex Pearlmaster is exclusively craft from precious metals and always adorned with expertly set gemstones (either diamonds, sapphires, or rubies). Although the Pearlmaster is easily the most lavish and gem-encrusted line of Rolex watches, relatively little media coverage surrounds it, as its sheer opulence places it outside the reach of many consumers.The Pearlmaster was originally introduced in 1992 as a new and slightly larger interpretation of Rolex’s Lady-Datejust line of watches. Over the course of the last quarter of a century, the Pearlmaster has grown in size and evolved in concept to become an entirely separate collection of ultra-premium Datejust watches that blurs the lines between a wristwatch and a piece of jewelry. The “Pearlmaster” name actually comes from the watch’s unique bracelet design with rounded five-piece links and a concealed Crownclasp, which to this day, is specifically reserved for Rolex’s crowning jewelry watches.Today, the Pearlmaster is manufactured in 34mm and 39mm case sizes and is exclusively craft from solid 18 karat gold (yellow, white, or Everose). As far as internal mechanics, the Pearlmaster 34 is powered by Rolex’s Caliber 2235, while the Pearlmaster 39 receives the Caliber 3235. Despite the difference in movements, both watches boast Rolex’s “Superlative Chronometer” certification, which guarantees timekeeping performance to a maximum variance of -2/+2 seconds per day (after casing).
The ref. 16710 is outfitted with a standard 40mm Oyster case with water-resistance up to 100 meters and a protective sapphire crystal over the dial. The bezel is equipped with an aluminum insert in either all-black, red and blue, or red and black. Depending on the year of production, the watch is also available on the secondary market with cases that have either lug holes or no lug holes, and the luminous material on the dial will vary, as Rolex made the switch from Tritium to LumiNova during the production of the reference 16710 GMT-Master II.With the release of the ref. 116710 came a brand new case design that includes the upgrade to a triple-sealed Triplock screw-down crown, a new bezel mounting system that operates on 24 clicks instead of 120, a tougher “Cerachrom” bezel insert crafted from a scratchproof ceramic material, and a “Maxi” dial topped with larger hour markers and wider hands. The 40mm case also received a larger crown guard and wider lugs, earning it the nickname the “Super Case” among collections due to its thicker and more aggressive overall appearance.The ref. 16710 is equipped with the self-winding Rolex Caliber 3185 perpetual movement, which includes a Quickset function for easy adjustment of the date mechanism, hacking, an independent 24-hour hand, and a 48-hour power reserve. However, near the very end of production of the ref. 16710, Rolex switched movements, and later-era examples of the reference 16710 were equipped with the Caliber 3186 movement. The Caliber 3186 has the same specifications as the Caliber 3185 but is now equipped with Rolex’s newer paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and a smoother operating jump-hour hand. With that in mind, all reference 116710 GMT-Master II watches run solely on the Caliber 3186.
Black dial has a micro-sand finish, there are two small dials, like the two eyes of owl. Small second hand is running on the subdial at 9 o’clock. The subdial at 3 o’clock now works the same way as genuine watch, there are two hands on that subdial, the longer hand is displaying minutes chronograph, while the shorter hand is hour-chronograph pointer. The movement has been modified by OM factory, so the minute and hour chronograph could be completely achieved on this replica watch.Black nylon strap may be the best match for this watch. The texture of the black nylon band is exactly in line with the black matt finish of the watch. On the back side of the band, the side that touches your skin, is made of genuine leather. I tried this type of band on my hand, it maintains the soft wearing comfort of full genuine leather band, but also looks very cool due to its black nylon material on outside.
First, hour markers and hands on black dial are applied white luminescence, this lume material is imported from Switzerland, its lume color and durability are the same as that used on genuine Submariner watch. The hands, hour markers and bezel pearl all emit green light in the dark. Second, the replica is equipped with a Super Clone Asian 3135 movement, we call this movement SA3135 here. Some people will doubt whether the replica 16610LV is equipped with SA3135 or not, but I have to say ETA 2836 and SA3135 give two different winding feeling, when you have a chance to wind the two movements, you will find their difference easily without opening the case back.Although SA3135 makes the replica closer to genuine watch, I still suggest people buy the replica with Asian ETA 2836, which is much cheaper. Besides, SA3135 movement is completed on the base of a Chinese automatic, which means too many movement parts have been modified on the base movement, I think the stability of SA3135 should be doubted, also its repairing rate may be higher than A2836. That’s my opinion, welcome to leave comments here to describe what’s in your mind.Every tough man will like the watch that has some military style. Today, the replica watch I am going to introduce is an ultimate superior version of Rolex Pro Hunter. It is the best one I have ever met. The watch is made according to genuine 116610 Rolex watch and every tail is 1:1 replicated against the genuine, so watch parts like case, bezel, dial could all be interchangeable with genuine 116610.The Rolex Pro Hunter Submariner replica watch is in whole black because its case, bezel and bracelet all have pvd black coating, so the whole watch looks tough and full of military style, especially with the superlume dial that will glow strong blue light in the dark. The watch is sold at an expensive price, that is $408 US Dollars, but its quality is worth every penny of it. The replica watch is manufactured by a big factory that also makes other quality golden Rolex replicas. The case is 1:1 replicated and has Swiss standard ETA Coating, thick black pvd plating is anti dust and prevent scratches. The bezel is blacken sandwich ceramic insert, diver style bezel has numeral diving scales that are deeply engraved. It is uni-directional and has 120 clicks like the genuine.The movement inside is Swiss ETA 2836, nicle plated movement plates, bridges are modified to the appearance of Rolex Caliber 3135, 25 jewels and beats at 28800bph. Look at the testing result of the movement, which absolutely has achieved the Swiss accuracy standard, only 7 seconds error each day. Overall, the Rolex Pro Hunter replica will provide you a high accuracy and stability, it will be a great timepiece for men who like military diving watches.Two replicas of Rolex Submariner 116613 LN made by Noob factory, which is also known as Noob or Noob maker. They are 40mm in case diameter, made of 316L stainless steel, the middle links of bracelet are made of wrapped yellow gold, black bezel also has wrapped yellow gold markers, which are engraved.There are two versions, one is in black dial, the other is in yellow gold dial. Both are equipped with Asian ETA 2836 movement, superlumed 6-9-12 hour markers, others are diamonds with yellow gold edge.
Before going into a further discussion of the replica, let’s check its specification first.Movement: Super Copy 3186 Automatic, Decorated Movement Plates and Rotor, Correct Hand StackCase: 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Blue/Black Ceramic with Silver Markers Crystal: Scratch-proof Sapphire Crystal with Laser Tiny Crown Logo at 6 o’clock Dial: Black with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: 904L Stainless Steel Bracelet with Rolesor Clasp Water Resistant: 50m Like the two Submariner watches Noob just published in 2018, the case of 116710 BLNR replica is also made of 904L stainless steel. The upgrade of case and bracelet material makes the replica watch have the same weight as genuine. Case is 40mm in diameter and 13mm in thickness. With a smooth polishing on the edge, the case does not feel scratch when wearing on hand. Smooth streamlined case design makes the watch fit your wrist better. Bezel is the place that has the greatest improvement. Compared with previous V7, the bi-colored bezel of V8 has a more natural color transmission from blue to black. GMT markers on the bezel are engraved correctly.On black dial, there is an extra blue hand with a big arrow indicating GMT time. Hour markers have silver edge and are filled with white lume material like hands. If you concern the hand stack, then this V8 replica GMT Master II 116710 BLNR has a correct hand stack. From top to bottom, the hands are second hand, minute hand, blue GMT hand and hour hand, while other factories and previous version of Noob 116710 BLNR usually set the GMT hand at the bottom.At last, the replica is equipped with a Swiss 3186 automatic movement, we also call it Super Copy 3186. It is not an Asian clone 3186 on basis of a Chinese movement, this Super Copy 3186 runs more accurate and stable than any other 3186 movements developed before. Now, the factory will send one pair of blue rubber straps for free if you order this GMT Master Rolex watch.I want to introduce more Rolex watches here because a few factories produced some innovative replica Rolex watches with 904L stainless steel and better clone movement. Now it is not surprising most Submariner replicas are equippeed with Super Copy 3135 movement, since the end of 2017, some factories even used clone 3235 in Datejust models.
The lume on dial and bezel pearl is blue. As I mentioned above, there is another factor that makes this replica expensive, it is the movement inside. Yes, the replica is equipped with a real ETA 2836 movement, not an Asian clone one. The following are more details of this replica. Rolex Submariner 116613 Blue Dial Movement: Swiss ETA 2836 Automatic Case: 40mm*13mm, Two Tone, 316L Stainless Steel with 18K Yellow Gold Coating Bezel: Blue Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel, Ceramic Dial: Blue with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands Crystal: Sapphire with Tiny Rolex Crown in Crystal at 6Band: Two Tone Style, 18K Yellow Gold Coating on 316L Stainless Steel Clasp: Deployant Buckle Water Resistant: 50m Replica Rolex Silver Grey Daytona with 4130 Movement Replica Rolex Silver Grey Daytona In the beginning of 2018, AR factory published a few Rolex Daytona replica watches that are not only made of 904L stainless steel, but also equipped with innovative Rolex 4130 automatic movement. These Daytona replicas all have one big disadvantage, that is they are not fully chronograph watch. I have introduced a lot of Daytona watches here before, but they have a full working chronograph function, while this Daytona replica made by AR factory has false subdials at 3:00 and 9:00. However, the chronograph buttons could be pushed, means the central second-chronograph hand will start to work once you press the button at 2:00. One thing we have to admit is this is the Daytona replica that has the closest look to original. If you are in pursuit of perfection in outlook of a replica, this Daytona is your best choice.Replica Rolex Daytona Grey Sometimes you need to sacrifice some functions in order to make other features perfect. Like this replica Daytona, in order to clone a flawless movement that looks 100% the same as genuine 4130, the factory decorates the movement plates and auto rotor perfectly, so it could not be spotted as a fake when somebody in the boutique opened the case back.Replica Rolex Daytona Black Ceramic Bezel The case is 40mm in diameter, it is brushed while the lugs are polished. Black bezel is ceramic made with white tachymeter scales. Silver grey dial has three black subdials at 3, 6 and 9. The small second hand is working smoothly on the subdial at 6 o’clock. Hour markers are filled with white luminous material, so are hands, they will emit strong blue light at night.I love this silver grey Daytona watch, it is highly uniform in color match. For example, black ceramic bezel, black subdials and black rubber band. The silver grey dial also perfectly matches 904L stainless steel case.Replica Rolex Daytona Grey Case Back Watch Specification:Movement: Clone 4130 Automatic, Working Second-Chronograph Hand, Fixed Small Seconds of Subdials at 3 and 9 Case: 40mm*13mm, 904L Stainless Steel, Black Ceramic Bezel Crystal: Sapphire Crystal with Etched Laser Crown Logo at 6 Dial: Silver Grey Bracelet: Black OysterFlex Rubber Band with New Style Flip Lock Clasp Water Resistant: 50m Replica Rolex Day Date 40mm Full Yellow Gold Watch From CR Factory Replica Rolex Day Date Yellow Gold Watch Day Date is a good series of Rolex to show wearer Day and Date at the same time. However, I prefer Datejust more because I do not like the top window displaying week on Day Date watch, but sometimes you have to admit it is important for business men. Today, I am going to introduce a full yellow gold Rolex Day Date replica watch, which is made by CR factory, CR means Chang Rong in Chinese Pin Yin.
