Much like the red line of text on the dial of the latest Sea-Dweller, the bright orange, arrow-shaped 24-hour hand on the latest incarnation of the Rolex Explorer II is a design element directly borrowed from the very first version of the watch from 1971. For a number of decades, this style of 24-hour hand was entirely absent from the Rolex watch catalog, during which time, the Explorer II shared a 24-hour hand design with Rolex’s GMT-Master II line of watches.However, in 2011 for its 40th anniversary, the Explorer II line received a complete makeover, both inside and out. Although the vast majority of the new reference 216570 Explorer II was completely different from the original version and classifies it as an undisputedly modern timepiece, the large, orange-colored, arrow-shaped, 24-hour hand is aesthetically almost identical to the one on the original version of the Explorer II from the early 1970s.A significant part of the allure of the Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLRO is rooted in its vintage-inspired design elements, such as its red and blue, “Pepsi” bezel insert and its Jubilee-style bracelet. The very first Rolex GMT-Master watches from the mid-1950s were made from stainless steel and fitted with half-red, half-blue bezel inserts; however, ever since the introduction of Cerachrom (ceramic) bezels, half-red, half-blue “Pepsi” bezel inserts were only available on the 18k white gold version of Rolex’s GMT-Master II. The reference 126710 GMT-Master II marked the return of a stainless steel “Pepsi” GMT, as well as the return of the Jubilee bracelet to the GMT-Master line.
Today there is quite a high premium on original vintage pieces simply because they’re extremely rare and becoming increasingly harder to find. Decades ago, when people bought luxury watches like Rolex for example, it was perfectly normal for them to get the watch serviced, polished, or have parts replaced if you scratched or dented them up. The problem is that while they were done by the company with authentic later-era parts, they still weren’t original parts or features of the watch. Since this was such a common practice, today it’s really special – and highly valuable – if a vintage watch is totally original.When posed with the question of which watch to buy and when, every industry “expert” probably begins their answer with some variation of the same caveat: Buy for love, not for money. Watch collecting is a wild and unpredictable hobby. Auction prices for classic models have been known to hit eight figures (and then some), but most of the Rolex watches out there depreciate the moment you strap them on your wrist.I have a young friend who is ready to buy his first luxury watch. He’s been thinking about it for weeks (good boy), but every few days he calls me (bad boy) and labors the same point: He wants a watch that is an investment (even worse boy). There exists in modern watch collecting a problem: collectibility is now treated as a selling point. But the problem with everybody and their dogs knowing that something is collectible is that everybody and their dogs are quite likely to collect it.The most expensive wristwatch ever sold was the Rolex Daytona worn by Paul Newman himself. It fetched $17. million at a 2017 auction. That’s a pretty good price for a watch that was so unpopular when it was initially launched that it lingered on dealers’ shelves with relatively few actually making their way onto customers’ wrists. One of those wrists happened to be Paul Newman, who had reputedly been bought the watch by his wife, Joanne Woodward. And it isn’t that she made a sound investment, but rather her purchase created an investment piece by her gifting it to her stratospherically famous husband.
There are also other dial details that tell this Sea-Dweller from others, that is its hour markers are unique, they are oval-shaped, expect a triangle at 12 and other two bar shapes at 6 and 9. All hour markers are a little yellow not white. Minute scales are thin sticks in white. There is a date window positioned at 3, black date font in white background. “SWISS – T < 25” at 6 instead of “SWISS MADE”.Black bezel is bi-directional rotating like genuine. The case back has special engravings curved, including Rolex Lgo, and words of “ROLEX”, “ROLEX PATENT . GAS ESCAPE VALVE . OYSTER”. The case back is also screwed down like modern Sea-Dweller, you can see there are some digital numbers engraved on the back side of the bracelet, I do not know what meaning. The replica 1665 is equipped with an Asian clone ETA 2846 movement, it has 17 jewels and beats at 21600 times per hour, I have done a movement test, like the picture said, only 7 seconds inaccuracy each day.Specifications: Movement: Asian Clone ETA 2846, 17 Jewels, 21600bph Case: 40mm*13mm, 316L Stainless Steel, Bi-directional Black Bezel Crystal: Plexi Plastic Dial: Black with Dot Hour Markers Bracelet: Solid Steel Oyster Bracelet with Diver’s Extension Water Resistant: 30 Meters In recent times, I have written a lot about Rolex watches and most of them are vintage Sub and Explorer, they got a great response on my blog, many readers asked how to buy it and encouraged me to written more things about those vintage watches. Yes, I will keep doing my work to introduce more fantastic replica watches, besides, all advice I have given to you is honest, there are a lot types of replica watches in the market, each type varies in quality, I just hope you to get the most high-end ones.
I think most of you guys have been waiting for a long time to get such great Daytona replicas. Let me show how perfect the four Daytona replicas are.Case is a pity because Noob does not use 904L stainless steel on them. It is made of 316L stainless steel, but that’s enough. If you are seeking for perfection, maybe in the next improvement, Noob will use 904L stainless steel on case and bracelet material on these four Daytona watches. In my opinion, 316L is good enough, you know, it has been used as main watch material for a lot of years. The four Daytona replica watches here are all 40mm in case diameter, and 13mm thick. For 116500, the bezel uses black ceramic, and 116520 uses stainless steel bezel. The inside case back is engraved with correct information like genuine. The case back is screwed down, it is sealed perfectly.For 116500 and 116520, each has black dial and white dial available. Three subdials are working like genuine Rolex Daytona.
The movement is an Asia Valjoux 7750, which is based on a Shanghai chronograph movement. After being tested for almost ten years, this chronograph movement used in our replica watches are the most stable and reliable.IWC Mark series was specially offered as a military watch in the past, now it has a lot of anniversary models. After almost one hundred years, the appearance of IWC Mark does not have too much change, its simple and elegant design is loved by many people. IWC Mark, which was exclusively supplied for the British Pilots, has left a lot of memories for us. Also as a pilot watch, Breitling looks more professional, Zenith Pilot has more retro flavors, compared with them, IWC Mark is more practical, classic and durable.
If you have ever bought one IWC Mark replica, you will know the best one is equipped with a ETA 2892 movement, so is this Mark XVIII. Other versions are not as stable as this one. The band also offer wearer the greatest satisfaction, because the outer material is nylon while the inner lining is black leather, there are some mysterious words on the leather lining like “BTAI” and “BTAN”, could someone here tell me the meaning of these words?For men, owning a dedicate wrist watch is like an amazing artwork in hand since its beauty is so unforgettable. Yes, now I am going to introduce a replica IWC Portuguese IW500705, it is really a classic artwork. It is the edition of V2S, its workmanship is almost perfect, and near original on the whole.
