Compared with other common IWC Mark series models, this Mark XVIII titanium watch is very outstanding. Grey Titanium case, track-style minutes markers, brown dial and brown leather straps, these elements make the watch full of vintage flavor. The replica is a really a big surprise from GS factory.IWC Portuguese is a very famous watch and it is one of the best-selling dress watches in the world. In our watch market, there are three factories at least that are manufacturing IWC Portuguese watches, ZF, YL and 3A. Among them, ZF is the biggest and most famous one. Actually ZF makes the best quality replica IWC Portuguese watch, they are also the first factory that started to clone genuine IWC Caliber. Like this replica, ZF equipped a clone 79350 movement inside, this is a great improvement, because it is the first time for a factory to use a cloned IWC Caliber in a IWC Portuguese chrono replica watch, we only saw factories used such type of movements in IWC non-chrono Portuguese. The replica is a V2 edition, the V1 uses an Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, now the V2 uses a new clone 79350 like genuine IWC Caliber. This is the biggest difference, while there are certainly other improvement made on this latest version, let’s check it carefully in the following article.
First of all, the case size is 40.9*12.3mm which is almost as the same the per original, not only because it is made out from a 1:1 case but also because the team conquer so many difficulties to develop a replica A79350 movement. Some editions are not able to do the same size case as original edition is because it is limited by the movement inside of it, some factories are not able to copy the original movement. Then let’s move to the dial, the craftsmanship and fine details are just the same as original. IWC’s logo is very clear, and the character size is the same as original, there is no difference by looking at it. The outside markers for chronograph second function is also copied greatly. The blue long needle is for showing chronograph second, and sub-dial at 12:00 position shows chronograph minute. Sub-dial at 6:00 position together with two hands in the middle to show the time. Time Markers are numeral. Look into carefully, even the axis to hold those three hands are done as well as per original, perfectly in details! Both V6 edition and original’s front glass are made of sapphire crystal, this is a easy job for ZF to follow. Look at the case side, no matter the polish or matt work, they are exactly the same as the genuine. On the crown and the buttons for adjust functions, they are looking the same in shape and engraving logo on it, but V6 edition’s is painted with blue coating which is for protecting them from the scratch. For the strap, the original one is using crocodile leather, V6 edition’s standard strap is real cow leather but Z factory also offer crocodile leather with extra pay.
Just compared the dial lettering with real Submariner’s, there is no difference.Two tone bracelet has yellow gold on middle links. The brushing effect on bracelet gives you a high quality texture feeling. I have one thing to tell you here, it is about the clasp, check carefully, new Submariners from Rolex all have silver clasp engravings, not black on previous Submariner watches. So, see photos below, the clasp engravings on this Rolex Submariner 116613 replica is correct in color. Congrats Noob factory finally makes the right Submariners replicas, and we are also very lucky to own such a high quality replica Rolex. By the way, the replica is equipped with a real Swiss ETA 2836 movement, not clone.Now, everyone who bought Rolex Daytona Paul Newman watch from me before knows JK factory, it mainly produces replica watches of vintage Rolex and Panerai, but sometimes this factory also makes special watches like Pro Hunter, Bamford Submariners, etc. Take this Bamford Commando Rolex Submariner for example, genuine model is specially designed by Bamford company, it uses Submariner name, but has its own features. I like the style, it is military black, looks very tough, and the name “COMMANDO”, it exactly describes the tough style of the replica watch. The genuine watch claims 300m water resistance, while the replica has been tested by factory to be 30m waterproof.The case is brushed stainless steel, measured to be 40mm in case diameter, absolutely not including the crown. The case thickness is 13mm, black ceramic bezel insert with a red triangle at 12 o’clock. The bezel is diving style and uni-directional. Black diving scales on bezel form a high contrast with the white hour markers. Brown dial has some iconic features belonged to Submariner, such as the bezel-style hour and minute hands.
At the heart of the Deepsea’s case is Rolex’s patented Ringlock system, which uses a super hard, nitrogen-alloyed steel central ring to internally support both the extra-thick sapphire crystal and the Grade 5 titanium caseback. While the Ringlock system is largely responsible for the overall increase in the case size of the Deepsea, it actually enables the watch to be smaller than it otherwise would be, had it were to follow a more traditional case design while still retaining its same colossal depth rating.The primary purpose of the Ringlock system is to reduce the amount of stress placed on the case of the watch. As pressure on the watch increases at greater depths, the majority of it gets exerted on the front and back surfaces of the watch. Since the nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel compression ring internally supports both the crystal and the caseback of the Deepsea, the amount of force exerted on the actual case itself remains relatively minimal. Additionally, as the crystal and caseback get squeezed together, with the majority of the force being supported by the internal compression ring, the front and back gaskets of the watch get pressed together, ensuring an extra tight seal.The caseback on the Rolex Deepsea consists of two components: an inner caseback made from Grade 5 titanium, and an outer, screw-down caseback ring that is constructed from Oystersteel (904L stainless steel). With a traditional, single-piece, caseback design, the entirety of the pressure placed on caseback gets exerted on the case of the watch itself, particularly near the threads. By separating the caseback into two components, Rolex is able to redistribute much of the force being exerted on the rear surface of the watch. The outer, screw-down ring performs the sole duty of keeping the inner, titanium caseback tight on the watch, while the nitrogen-alloyed steel compression ring ultimately supports all the pressure being exerted on the titanium case-back itself.
The Rolex Two-Tone Submariner 16613 is available on a flat-link Oyster bracelet with hollow 18 karat yellow gold center links and an Oysterlock clasp. Like other Submariner watches, the clasp on the ref. 16613 features a wetsuit extension system that allows the length of the bracelet to be adjusted on the fly to fit comfortably over wetsuits.Depending on the year of production, Submariner 16613 bracelets can be found with slight differences between their clasps, end-links, and wetsuit extension systems. Earlier examples will have hollow end-links, all-steel clasps, and stamped wetsuit extensions, while later-era 16613 Submariner bracelets will have solid end-links, a link-style extension system, and a clasp featuring a 18k yellow gold strip through the center.The ref. 16613 is the result of Rolex’s tireless quest for perfection. Its long production run has spawned several variations, making it a fun watch to “hunt” for on the pre-owned Rolex market. It’s also a popular choice for its stunning two-tone steel and gold finish, and it is an excellent option for anyone who seeks a gold Rolex sports watch without the hefty price tag that accompanies an all-gold watch.
