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.
Then there’s the much more subdued fixed stainless bezel of the Explorer II which matches the case and features a 24-hour marked scale. This feature was specifically built for explorers who need to distinguish day from night – think cave explorers or polar explorers in the height of summer when the sun never sets.For decades, the durable and waterproof Oyster case on the Explorer II measured 40mm, but upon its redesign for the 40th anniversary of the collection in 2011, it was enlarged to 42mm. However, while Rolex produces a precious metal version of the Submariner, the Explorer II is exclusively offered in 904L stainless steel, and there have never been any solid gold or two-tone models ever produced. The current Explorer II is only offered on a steel Oyster bracelet with a Oysterlock clasp, but to be honest, when it comes to the Explorer II, collectors are much more concerned with what really makes this watch: the face.The dial of the Explorer II is iconic for a few reasons. The most notable being the colored 24-hour hand which circles the face. First there’s the iconic orange 24-hour hand, originally designed to help polar and cave explorers distinguish night from day, that gained its cult-status from the original “Steve McQueen” reference. Rolex eventually brought back the bright orange hand with much fanfare. Then there’s the red 24-hour hand which graced the dial for decades – it’s distinctly different than the orange hand with a skinnier body and smaller luminous triangle at the tip. The dials with a red 24-hour hand are far less punchy than their orange counterparts, but still make the Explorer II standout from the rest of the Rolex lineup.Then there are the dial colors – available in effortlessly-cool black and the coveted ‘polar’ white. The polar dial is totally cool and clean, the white face outfitted with white lume plots and Mercedes hands outlined in black. The black face on the other hand has a totally different appeal. While it boasts the same features, the darker face really highlights the stainless steel bezel, lume hour plots and lume-filled Mercedes hands (this time in white gold rather than finished black). It’s a punchier look, and the colored 24-hour hand – especially the orange one – shines against the black a little brighter.
In 2008, a small factory cloned IWC Big Pilot, whether its appearance or movement, it has a large gap with genuine watch, the power reserve is faux. After seven years, Z factory built this Big Pilot again, they updated the dial and movement construction, even the power reserve is real, which was increased from 42 hours to 12 hours. Big Pilot is one of the most classic series of IWC, the genuine watch is also sold at a high price, so, to have such an 1:1 replica is a dream of many people. Here I will give a review of Big Pilot IW500901 replica watch, which is a great timepiece with perfect function and closest movement.Big case is brushed and almost has 47mm in diameter. The Pilot watch has a common case design that is similar to dress watches, its dial completely shows every thing clearly in front of your eyes. Seeing from the side of the case, you will find out the difference between 1:1 replica and those cheap replicas. The replica IWC is polished well, especially its bezel, it has a polished silver edge that looks like a mirror. The streamlined design of the case ensures a great fit to your wrist. Please check some photos below, the crystal reflects a little hue when under a certain angle, this indicates the sapphire crystal has a layer of anti-reflective coating. So the dial is very clear even under the sun light, it seems like the crystal is invisible.
Now, from this post, we will introduce more ladies watches on our blog, and in the coming Christmas, we will send some gifts along with your watch package.The Latest V7 Replica Rolex Submariner 116610Ln Black Ceramic Watch from Noob FactoryRolex has always been the most favorite brand in watch industry, so is in fake watch world. Especially its Submariner model, which is the most sought after diver’s watch, every one who has ever dealt with Rolex must know Submariner, and those people who want to buy a Submariner watch will firstly think about 116610LN. Yes, I has been in replica watch business for nearly ten years, I know the development process of replica watches and also understand how much amount of need for them. Compared with green and blue Submariner as well as Sea-Dweller, Rolex Submariner 116610LN looks more common and has a suitable size that is accepted by most watch fans, so I think this is the main reason why it becomes the first Submariner choice. Here the watch I am going to review is its superior replica, which was manufactured by Noob factory in 2016, this was the seventh time for the factory to improve the replica, so we call it V7 Submariner 116610LN.When see this replica at a first glance, your eyes will be immediately caught by it, you can not believe how high quality it is and absolutely the replica gives you a 100% real feeling. With considerable weight, the replica watch feels very nice on hand, I mean the feeling you get from a genuine watch, you can feel its quality texture as well. This one is the best-selling and always in stock. I hope the factory could improve it for the eighth, nineth or even tenth time, to make the replica 100% perfect, however for the one currently under my eyes, I already can not find any flaws.The case is in size of 40mm*14mm, brushed face on solid steel case and bracelet. Every case edge is polished smoothly, the proportion of case construction is the same as genuine 116610LN, the factory manager usually went to some important watch exibitions like Basel World to buy some genuine Rolex watches, he loved to disassemble them and study every component of genuine watch, so the Rolex replica watches coming from this factory are the best in our market. Back to this 116610LN, the bezel uses real black ceramic material, actually the bezel will become an obvious flaw spot for other cheap Submariner replicas, but for this Noob 116610LN, the ceramic bezel is its big selling point, because whether the pearl or bezel engravings, they are without fault, especially the diving engravings, their matte finishing and platinum tone make you can not put the watch down.The bracelet consists of solid steel links, the gap between ecah link is not big so you will not feel it is loose like you usually get this feeling from cheap Rolex.
