Initially only available in White or Yellow Rolesor (Rolex’s name for a combination of steel and gold), they were just successful enough for an all-steel reference with a smooth bezel to follow in 2012.Yet it seemed to be too much of a design departure for either the traditional customer base or else the brand itself, and the Datejust II was discontinued by 2016. The Datejust 41 replaced it as a very much a scaled-up version of the 36mm piece, with the classic dimensions intact.But there was always a relatively small but enthusiastic audience for the DJII, as decidedly masculine a dress watch as you are likely to find. Issued with a range of dial options (although, strangely, only ever produced on the Oyster bracelet) it offers plenty of choices and is the ideal model for a larger wrist.Rolex is very proud of their patented Cerachrom ceramic alloy, and rightly so. Scratchproof, fade-proof, nigh on unbreakable, it is the perfect material for the brand’s bezels and it has been rolled out across most of the tool watch collection. On the Daytona, it is fitted to models forged from platinum, all three flavors of gold, and the only two steel pieces left in the contemporary lineup – those lusted after models which are more difficult to get ahold of than a Wonka factory golden ticket.But Cerachrom is a fairly new invention. Previous iterations of the stainless steel Daytona have always had steel bezels, something no longer obtainable if you are buying brand new. The last reference to have one was the ref. 116520, which ran from 2000 to 2016, and was the first Daytona to house Rolex’s own in-house chronograph movement, the Cal. 4130.
The middle links of bracelet are yellow gold, which exactly matches the golden fluted bezel. Both case and bracelet use solid 316L stainless steel, the watch weight is very close to real, with good polishing, it has a real hand touch and good wearing comfort.Replica Rolex GMT Master II Basel 2018 126715 Rose Gold Watch with Black/Brown Ceramic Bezel Replica Rolex GMT Master II 126715 .After Basel 2018, a lot of factories published replica watches of new models that were unveiled in Basel. Especially Rolex, there are a few new models that have catched my attention, they are GMT Master II, which not only uses different bi-color bezel, but also features a Jubilee bracelet. I introduced one 2018 GMT Master II here several weeks ago, and it got a lot of inquiries. Now I am going to post another new GMT Master II that is in full rose gold, which looks very luxury, while its bezel also adds sporty style. The replica Rolex is made by an unknown factory, but its price is not cheap because the replica uses real ceramic on bezel and the rose gold coating is thick 18K. Let’s enjoy the beauty of this art work.Replica Rolex GMT Master II Basel 2018 Rose Gold The case is made of 316L stainless steel, and there is a thick layer of 18K rose gold, which will not easily fade after a long wear. Case diameter is 40mm, a very reasonable size for mens wrist, but for some people who love large-size watches, this Rolex is a little small. The bezel is unique, Rolex never used black and brown color combination on GMT bezel before, now on this new model 126715, the black/brown ceramic bezel looks so unique. The color transition from black to brown is very natural.Replica Rolex 126715 Black Brown Bezel Dial is black, absolutely the dial is close to geuine watch, but it could not be compared with V7 replica Rolex GMT Master II watch published by Noob factory, which is the best quality GMT Master II replica watch, because it has the correct hand stack and equipped with 3186 movement. Whether from outside look or inside machine, this replica GMT watch looks more real to genuine. While this Rolex GMT Master II 126715 does not have a correct hand stack, but the GMT hand works like real. Words “GMT-Master II” are in rose gold tone, which echoes with rose gold case and bracelet. By the way, inner bezel has correct Rolex Rehaut, hour markers and hands are applied blue lume material.Replica Rolex GMT Master II Rose Gold CrownNot like 126710 GMT Master II, this watch is equipped with an Oyster bracelet that is in rose gold. Middle links are polished while two sides are brushed, this forms a sharp visual contrast.
The first ceramic bezel Submariner appeared in 2009 with the introduction of the steel and gold Rolex reference 116613. A stunning blend of classic and modern dive watch design, the ref. 116613 has since become a highly sought-after dive watch, both at retail and on the pre-owned Rolex market. Other metal variations of the ceramic (aka “Cerachrom”) bezel Submariner would later follow. However, none is as intriguing as the Rolex Submariner two-tone example.The Rolex Submariner was introduced to the market in the early 1950s and was the first timepiece in the brand’s catalog to offer water resistance up to 100 meters. This depth rating would eventually be increased to up to 300 meters, where it remains for the modern versions of the Submariner that are sold today. Other notable upgrades made to the line over the past six decades include improved materials (904L Oystersteel), longer-lasting lume (Chromalight), higher-beat Caliebr 3135 perpetual movements, tougher scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, and unidirectional rotating timing bezels.The Submariner was first offered in stainless steel, then in yellow gold. The first two-tone Submariner wasn’t released until 1984, with the reference 16803. This take on Rolex’s famous professional diver introduced the line to a brand new level of collectors who sought a gold Rolex but didn’t have the budget for an all-gold timepiece. Fast forward to 2009 with the release of this article’s featured ref. 116613, a completely redesigned dive watch with an upgraded bracelet and case, a redesigned bezel fitted with a ceramic insert, and a larger display on the dial.The Rolex Submariner is a dive watch legend. From its many appearances in the James Bond franchise to gracing the wrists of numerous A-list celebrities, the Submariner has become one of the most recognizable and coveted luxury watches in the world. The line is varied and offers options in either an all Oystersteel (904L stainless steel), Rolesor (two-tone steel and gold), or solid 18k gold. Today, we will compare two of the most iconic two-tone Rolex Submariner references – the Rolex 16613 and Rolex 116613.
Looks-wise, the watch that comes the closest to an all-steel model is now the ref. 116509, which is cast in solid 18k white gold and has the price tag to prove it.That means a delve into the archives is the only avenue still open should you want one, and it is the previous generation that is proving the most affordable. The ‘Zenith’ Daytona ref. 16520, powered by the fabled El Primero, is still the gateway into steel Cosmograph Daytona ownership.Of course, the word ‘affordable’ is all relative. Prices start at around the $20,000 mark, which is a hefty slice of anyone’s money. Yet beyond being one of the most handsome and capable models ever made, any Rolex Daytona represents perhaps the surest investments watch collecting has to offer.It’s a tough call, but the starkly austere Explorer might well be the watch that has changed the least (visually) over its 70-year run. That is even for a manufacture that updates aesthetics at the glacial pace that Rolex does. Every reference, from the prototype Pre-Explorer ref. 6150 from 1952 up to the last of the ref. 114270s in 2010, have been simple three handers, with the beautifully legible white on black 3/6/9 dials, housed in a 36mm case.Then along came the ref. 214270, identical in the detailing but the first example to grow beyond the dimensions in 58-years, measuring 39mm. It increased in size for the same reason as the Datejust – fashions demanded it – but unlike that watch, it became the only option available.That is no bad thing. The Explorer is perhaps the last of the true tool watches in the Rolex catalog. There is nothing about any iteration of the watch that is designed to look flashy or draw attention to itself, and a few extra millimeters doesn’t change that. The new Explorer is basically the old Explorer, and whichever you choose will come down to whether your wrist size suits one or the other.Its strength has always been in its simplicity, and it remains one of the best value for money prospects on the pre-owned Rolex market. $5,000-$6,000 is the buy-in point for a well set up example of the ref. 114270 or, if you fancy going the real vintage route, the celebrated ref. 1016 (personal timepiece of James Bond author Ian Fleming) starts at a little over twice that. Tough, elegant and perfectly built, the Explorer has always stayed true to Rolex’s roots.
