Several years ago, Panerai published Luminor Submersible 1950 PAM 382, which raised a bronze storm in watch industry. The story between XF and bronze started from Panerai’s PAM 382. Afterwards, XF unveiled PAM 507, PAM 671, Zenith Type 20 Pilot Extra Special, Tudor Black Bay Bronzo, these are all art work of XF that are made of bronze material. So, we can see that XF factory continuously researched bronze and applied this material in their watch-making process, today, they released this IWC Pilot Spitfire bronze watch, it is the first IWC watch that is made of bronze.Actually, it is not hard to make a bronze case, but the difficulty is that bronze case should be oxidized to our expected result at the speed we want, XF has always been researching this, now the oxidized result on this IWC Pilot Spitfire has achieved a perfect condition, which is closest to genuine, compared with the bronze case from small factories, you will find that their oxidized color is uneven and there is even rusty spot.
When we turn back the replica, we will admire its amazing back-case. Generous, this is the only word I want to express. We can review the beauty of machine accompany with the moving of balance wheel clearly in such big back-case. It is liked that we are admiring a wonderful artwork.Next, let’s see its band and clasp. A good band need to be comfortable and durable in quality. So the replica has do it so well in this detail, a folding clasp with classic 316 stainless steel and has IWC LOGO in it. It reveals the taste of gentlemen and active sport style fully.In the end, Let’s see an important element, this IWC Portuguese replica is equipped with a powerful movement, it is high clone CAL.51011, can keep over 120 hours power reserve. If normal watch, uses ETA movement, mainly can keep about two or three days. So this replica is really an excellent one with high copy technology.In my point of view, this replica is deserve to have one, it is not so luxurious and complicated, but is elegant and dedicated. You need to have such replica as your special artwork in hand.
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.
Sticking with undersea operations, the Oris ProDiver collection is an interesting one, given that Oris is one of the few watch companies that remains actively engaged in dealings with commercial divers. More specifically, Roman Frischknecht is a commercial diver that has been an Oris ambassador for some time, and rather than simply being an ambassador in name, Roman has played a crucial role in the development of the ProDiver collection ahead of its launch in 2009.It was his insight that led to the creation of the brand’s bezel locking system, known as a Rotation Safety System. Given the level of safety and security protocols involved in his line of work, Roman knew that if he was to be using a conventional dive watch in a modern dive environment, there could be absolutely no room for error, thus a locking mechanism (as seen in other divers like the Omega Ploprof, among others) would be mandatory.Although the roots of the Yacht-Master II relate to activities on the water’s surface rather than deep below, its unique functionality is perfectly suited to this category. After all, the Rolex Yacht-Master II is what is often referred to as yachting timer – a countdown chronograph that can be used to properly measure the start time of a regatta, also known as a sailing race.Arguably the most complex watch in the present Rolex collection, the Yacht-Master II uses an interesting combination of bezel position, crown position, and pusher action in order to set its countdown duration between 1 and 10 minutes, with the chronograph capable of flyback (or fly-forward) functionality to the pre-set time with a single activation of its lower pusher. While many Yacht-Master II wearers are unlikely to ever use this highly specific function for its actual intended purpose. being able to run a countdown like this isn’t shy on practical daily-life applications… grilling timer, anyone?
Actually, a lot of wrist watches have its unique background when they launch in the market. Maybe it is in memory of a famous person or a novel or a match. Yes, now I am going to introduce the replica IWC Portuguese Yacht Club. It is almost 1:1 copy from the genuine no matter its appearance or movement. This series of collection is inspired by a competitive match, it uses the Volvo ocean Race as its design background. From this replica, we can know that it reveals brave spirit which the competitors has behaved in this match fully. Thanks for the virtuosity,this excellent replica has complimented in the end. I feel so excited to see this incredible replica. Now I can not wait to show you its detail. So let’s go!
Maybe they have already felt strong competitiveness from AR factory, if still can not bring us some big surprises, they will be completely defeated.Back to the V10 Submariner 116610LN and 116610LV. The biggest change is made on the bezel, which Noob factory claims that is could be interchanged with the bezel of genuine Submariner. The engraved depth of the bezel markers are the same as that of genuine Submariner, besides, the Platinum tone of the bezel markers will not fade as time goes by.About the movement, Noob offers two options, one is an Asia ETA 2836, the other is a Super Clone 3135. The latter one has the same time and date adjustment as genuine Rolex 3135 Calibre. Both have a high quality.Please read the following specification to know both watches better, and check a lot of photos below. Movement: Super Asia 3135/Asia ETA 2836 Automatic Case: 40mm*13mm, Solid 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Uni-directional Rotating Black Ceramic, Anti-clockwise Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown Logo at 6 o’clock Dial: Black with Superlume on Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: Solid 904L Stainless Steel with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 30m
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.
The dial has four colors to separate each detail and give a better visibility. Black main dial matches with golden hour markers and hands, the date window features thick black font in white background, the gmt hand could be adjusted through the crown, it has a green stem that echoes with the green words “GMT-MASTER II” on dial, every part of the replica comes along with the golden color, this makes the watch to be in line with its Two Tone style.Whatever the size, or watch parts, they are all 1:1 replicated according to genuine, all external watch parts could be exchanged with genuine watch except the movement. The replica GMT Master 2 uses a high end Chinese automatic movement, which we usually called it Asian ETA 2836-2, this movement may be manufactured in Tianjin, China, the watch factory in Guangzhou bought the movement and modified it to the outlook of Rolex 3187, then they installed the modified movement in the replica.The following is a photo of the movement accuracy test in my watch studio:Rolex has always been mostly welcomed in watch industry, it is also one of the most popular replicated watch brands in fake watch market. There are different types of Rolex replicas now that are divided into various grades. The highest quality replica Rolex watches are manufactured by big factories such as BP, J12, Noob. Actually there are many high end Submariner replicas that had been made by Noob factory before, with the progress which replica watch made in technology, more and more factories participate in the manufacturing of replica Rolex. Today, I am going to introduce another quality Rolex watch, it is replica GMT Master II with blue red bezel. The watch is somewhat full of vintage style, red and blue bezel is classic and could be found on most vintage Rolex watches. They are usually called Pepsi Bezel. High quality replica Rolex usually has a good textured bezel, especially this one that paints red and blue color, the color junction on the bezel is natural. Bezel is the most eye-catching place of the Rolex GMT Master II, while its dial is also attractive, black background with white printing, all hour markers and hands have white luminescence coated. The GMT hand has a wide triangle head and a red stem. Overall, you can easily read every element on the dial.The case is made of 316L stainless steel, which is brushed, the bezel is rotating and has 120 clicks, crown guards fully wrap the crown to prevent it from being damaged by collision. The bracelet is made solid links, not hollow, you can completely feel its weight on hand. Crown buckle has clear lines and you can see highly-finished engravings on clasp when fully unfolding the buckle. The case back has nothing engravin and it is clean, one thing you may observe is the pins that connect bracelet and case head, they are so strong and will not crack.
In July, one of my clients sent one watch back to Noob for repairing, he waited almost one and half month for the factory to fix it, I must say that the repairing of Noob is too slow.Both factories have their own advantages, but for beginners, I recommend ARF 116610LV more, because the first feeling it gives to you is more real, the quality and texture of the watch is super. I did not say bad things about Noob, they are a big factory, I have to admit, but if they can not do a better customers service and quality check, I think they will be very difficult to keep the pace with AR factory.AR Submariner 116610LV photos below:This watch is the V2 version of two tone Submariner 116613LN replica from AR factory, it is also the best version currently. Some people will ask, what about if being compared with the one from Noob? Actually I do not know, I have not held two watches in hand and compared them. Maybe in subtle details, Noob makes better, but the replica from AR factory also has their advantages. For example, it is the factory that used 904L stainless steel material on their replica Rolex watches, second, the finish on case and bracelet is much better. Third, AR factory installed an Asia ETA 2824 movement in this replica, compared with the Asia 3135 movement in Noob version, Asia 2824 is more stable and reliable. Fourth, the price is cheaper.
