The men’s Rolex Submariner was developed in 1953 and made its official debut during Basel Watch Fair the following year. One of the first dive watches to offer a 100-meter depth rating, the Submariner essentially paved the way for the modern dive watch as we know it today. Over the years, the Submariner has seen many notable upgrades, including the addition of a date display in the 1960s, the switch from acrylic to sapphire crystals in the late 1970s, and the change from radioactive tritium to photoluminescent lume in the 1990s. The Submariner was initially only available in stainless steel; a two-tone variant didn’t become available until 1984 via the ref. 16803.That brings us to the two examples that are featured here in today’s comparison video. The Rolex 16613 made its debut in 1988 and was the final aluminum bezel Submariner. The ref. 116613 was introduced in 2009 and features a completely redesigned feature set that swapped the aluminum bezel out for a tougher Cerachrom ceramic insert and features an all-new case and bracelet design. While both references are similar, they each bring a different aesthetic to the table.The Rolex Submariner 16613 was produced for over twenty years. During that time, it became available in many variations, including either a black or blue dial and bezel set, stunning champagne or silver “Serti” dials adorned with gems, lug holes on the case or no holes, and different luminous material on the dial. Two features that remain consistent among the reference variations are the two-tone steel and gold finish of the case and the aluminum insert on the bezel.With the unveiling of the modern 116613 Submariner in Yellow Rolesor (aka two-tone stainless steel and 18k yellow gold) came a newer-style “Super Case” which, despite offering the same 40mm diameter as the ref. 16613, appears slightly larger. The lugs and crown guard are wider, and the bezel received a new mounting design, giving the case a slightly more robust appearance and refined bezel action.
The chemical composition of synthetic green sapphire includes copper and aluminum oxide, with the copper being the element that is ultimately responsible for its signature green hue. The process of synthetic sapphire production is an expensive and exacting one; however, the additional obstacles that accompany the addition of copper – and the precision required to achieve the right amount of green tint without compromising the strength or clarity of the crystal are likely responsible for its exclusive use on the Rolex Milgauss line of watches.When synthetic sapphire is manufactured, the material has to “grow” over the course of a period of several weeks. Particles attract to one another, forming layers that fuse together to create a dense and ultra-hard substance. The end result of production is a “boule” – a solid piece of synthetic sapphire shaped like a chunky cylinder, which is then cut and shaped to its necessary dimensions.Due to the high costs of production, most watch crystal manufacturers cut their synthetic sapphire boules in a perpendicular fashion, as to maximize the number of crystals that can be created from a single boule. Although this is entirely unconfirmed, it is rumored that Rolex cuts the boule along a diagonal axis to maximize the clarity and strength of the finished crystal. In addition to complicating the cutting and shaping process itself, cutting the boule along a diagonal axis significantly increases the amount of waste, which further adds cost to an already expensive manufacturing process.Despite not making an appearance until just over ten years ago, the green sapphire crystal has quickly become one of the defining characteristics of the Milgauss line. Its pale green tint possesses no functional advantages over a traditional, clear/uncolored synthetic sapphire crystal; however, the green crystal that is exclusively fitted to the Rolex Milgauss 116400GV is one of the primary reasons that individuals seek out this particular reference. The green crystal is something entirely unique to the Milgauss collection and is not something that is found on any other Rolex watch, past or present.
The case is 40mm in diameter and made of 316L stainless steel, round bezel is very thin, so we can see a very big dial under the sapphire crystal. Whole case is brushed, including four lugs. The face of bezel is also brushed while polished on edge. Like genuine, you can operate the two pushers to start or stop chronograph. Case back is locked by four screws, there are vertical brushing on the center. When open the case back, the inside has beautiful geneva stripes and correct engravings like genuine watch.Dial is blue. There are two small dials at 6 and 12. The subdial at 6 o’clock is displaying small seconds, while the subdial at 12 o’clock is for 30-minute chronograph. The two small dials are sunken on the main blue dial, together with the beveled inner bezel, the whole dial shows a 3D visual effect. Besides, silver Arabic numeral hour markers are also three-dimensional.
Summer is coming, it is time to prepare something for a holiday. Absolutely a diver’s watch is a must-have product. To look unique and attract most attention of girls on the beach, man, you must start to get a special diver’s watch that can grab their attention at a glance. So, the Omega Planet Ocean 600m here I am going to review is exactly such a diver’s watch for you. First, the watch is under Omega, which has been very famous in watch world, every one knows this luxury brand watch. Second, the watch has an orange bezel, it also can be fitted with an orange rubber band, so the orange color on the watch can immediately arouse the attention of other people on the beach.
Ballon Blue, the classic of V6 factory, and also the best in the market. V6 factory makes three versions for Ballon Blue, one is with Sea-Gull 2824, one is with ETA 2892, the last uses Sea-Gull 2892. The one with genuine ETA 2892 movement is the best Ballon Bleu, and absolutely sold at a high price. Rhodium plated dial has a strong three-dimensional feeling.Steelfish from H factory is very cost-efficient, it has a considerable finishing and weight. The dial has black and blue options.AP 15703 is an important milestone in replica watch world. I recommend the 15703 replica made by JF. If you want a better price, choose V7 with 2824 movement, considering a more stable movement, you can choose V8 with Miyota 9015.Now black Sub comes. This replica has already been manufactured well. About movement, I prefer 3135, the winding direction is correct and winding feel is very good. Highly recommended.
GM factory grows bigger, now it even has more Rolex in stock than Noob. We need to wait for a long time for Noob factory to release their stocks, but if you place orders from GM factory, then you just need to wait for less time. I have to admit that Noob created the best Rolex replicas in the past, now the glory of this factory no longer exists, its main competitors J12 and GM all do better than them. The only one advantage of Noob factory which they still keep is their super 4130 clone Daytona, now Submariner and GMT-Master are no longer their star products.GM is a great factory, it often publishes new watches and has a large stocks, today, I want to introduce a Yachtmaster II from GM factory, it is the first replica Rolex YachtMaster II watch that is made with 904L stainless steel in our market. In recent years, Rolex has unveiled several YachtMaster models in different sizes, but I still love the YachtMaster with counterdown function, although this replica does not have the counterdown function, it is still a good replica watch.I like this YachtMaster watch due to its blue color usage on the bezel and dial, the blue color is exactly in line with the ocean them which Rolex YachtMaster wants to present. The replica is made of 904L stainless steel on case and bracelet, 44mm case is brushed, with two chronograph pushers set at 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock. The bezel is rotatable and features a blue ceramic insert with deep engravings that has the same tone as platinum markers of genuine Rolex.The dial is white, the circle on the center is for countdown for yachting, while on this replica, the countdown function is fake, so the central hand with a big red triangle does not work. The dial has a good visibility, a small second subdial at 6 o’clock has a blue circle with white markers, central seconds-chronograph hand is in bright red color, which will start to work if you push the button at 2 o’clock. By the way, the hands are updated, they are the new hands which Rolex updated in 2017 basel.Movement is clone 4161, it is the first time for a factory to use a clone 4161 movement on a replica Rolex YachtMaster, you know, even Noob and AR still have not used this movement, so, GM factory created the precedent.
Omega Planet Ocean series was so popular in the world, it even has good performance in the movie 007, which has left deep impression to us accompanying with this exciting action movie. Today I am going to recommend a perfect replica of this series. Since it with advanced technology, cool matching color, dynamic appearance as the genuine. So I believe that you may fall in love with such perfect chronograph definitely.This replica Omega contains with key factors in its whole structure. Of cause, ceramic plays an important role in this replica. Its diameter was 45mm, and it case was made of solid 316 stainless steel, matched with a black ceramic bezel, Arabic numerals and scales in front of us clearly . Bezel can be hit easily when diving, but the hard ceramic can protect it from damage effectively. It was really an ideal material of bezel. In its black dial, we can see that six, nine,twelve this three Arabic numeral markers with orange coating, which can catch our eye at the first time with such bright color. Besides,the markers and scales has coated with super luminous so that can help diver read their diving time easily. The minute hand and bezel with green luminous, markers and hour hand will appear anther color, blue. With different color in luminous so as to distinguish easily. Diver can distinguish diving time and normal time quickly. That design was so considerate because this function was so important to diver. I think it was rather necessary to concern about their safety. The date display window was set in the palace of three o’clock, it was so clear since it with white big number and black background to create striking contrast in visual effect.
Another tip I picked up was to photograph each of my watches next to my driving license as further proof that these watches have been in your possession. With a good and honest insurer, it shouldn’t be necessary; but when dealing with a significant level of equity, it is worth taking the time to be thorough. The fewer questions you’re forced to endure following a traumatic event like a robbery or fire, the better it is for you.Before you can figure out exactly what this amount will do to your insurance, you need to identify any pieces that must be separately declared (if it is a requirement of that territory). For example, in the UK, anything below £2,000 need not be individually named on a policy, and can either be paid out as part of your general contents insurance (last resort) or as a part of a declared (although not individually) holding of “luxury items”, such as watches and jewelry. Each declarable item will increase your premium, but it is worth being sure those high-value pieces like your Rolex are covered.But what if you have a large collection of watches that individually retail for less than £2,000? For collections like these, the best thing to do is to make it clear to your insurance provider that you have a large (larger than average) parcel of possessions that fall under the luxury goods category (if you don’t make this clear before a claim, eyebrows may be raised). The total value of your collection will then be assessed on top of your regular contents insurance (for things like furniture, appliances, clothing, and books and so forth). If, say, your collection of undeclared luxury goods is of significant value, you will notice a sharp spike in your premium.I have heard of people off-setting this premium by reducing their standard contents insurance. While this can reduce your (suddenly eye-watering) premium, it is a very risky business indeed, as an insurer may take a dim view on you being deliberately under-insured for items within your property. And so the solution? Consider carefully the insurance implications of your next luxury watch purchase. Treat the cost of insuring a luxury watch as a mandatory expense – more so than even having it serviced as regularly as advised. Build it into your budget.Even if you only have one, exceptionally valuable watch, which you plan on wearing 24/7 and thus imagine will never be stolen from your home, accidents do happen. This isn’t intended to be pessimistic, just sensible. And with the peace of mind that the correct cover can provide, your enjoyment of your collection can only increase.
