Rolex is a true pioneer in watchmaking technology. Among their most significant inventions is the Submariner, which was the first watch ever to offer water-resistance of up to 100 meters. The now-iconic Rolex Two-Tone Submariner was the inspiration behind the flourishing dive watch market as we know it, and almost every dive watch in existence today was in some way influenced by the Rolex Submariner. While it was developed for use while underwater, the Submariner has since become a coveted timepiece among collectors of all professions. The line is varied and offers a feature set to suit almost any wrist. However, today we will take a closer look at an earlier model of their Rolesor two-tone steel and gold Submariner ( Rolex Submariner two-tone ). The Rolex 16613 Two-Tone Submariner.The Rolex Submariner was developed in 1953 and made its official debut a year later at Basel Watch Fair 1954. As previously mentioned, the collection was the first to offer resistance to depths of up to 100 meters, which would then evolve into 200 meters, before increasing once again to its current and impressive 300-meter depth rating. In true Rolex fashion, the Submariner was carefully refined over the years to include a safer unidirectional bezel, improved materials, and a higher-beat movement.The original model was presented in stainless steel with an all-gold variation following in the late 1960s and a two-tone option coming to market in 1984 via the ref. 16803. The ref. 16613 was released a few years later in 1988 and enjoyed a long production run before being discontinued and replaced in 2009 with the current Cerachrom ceramic bezel 6-digit ref. 116613, marking the end of the aluminum bezel Rolex Submariner two-tone watches.
The ref. 16710 is outfitted with a standard 40mm Oyster case with water-resistance up to 100 meters and a protective sapphire crystal over the dial. The bezel is equipped with an aluminum insert in either all-black, red and blue, or red and black. Depending on the year of production, the watch is also available on the secondary market with cases that have either lug holes or no lug holes, and the luminous material on the dial will vary, as Rolex made the switch from Tritium to LumiNova during the production of the reference 16710 GMT-Master II.With the release of the ref. 116710 came a brand new case design that includes the upgrade to a triple-sealed Triplock screw-down crown, a new bezel mounting system that operates on 24 clicks instead of 120, a tougher “Cerachrom” bezel insert crafted from a scratchproof ceramic material, and a “Maxi” dial topped with larger hour markers and wider hands. The 40mm case also received a larger crown guard and wider lugs, earning it the nickname the “Super Case” among collections due to its thicker and more aggressive overall appearance.The ref. 16710 is equipped with the self-winding Rolex Caliber 3185 perpetual movement, which includes a Quickset function for easy adjustment of the date mechanism, hacking, an independent 24-hour hand, and a 48-hour power reserve. However, near the very end of production of the ref. 16710, Rolex switched movements, and later-era examples of the reference 16710 were equipped with the Caliber 3186 movement. The Caliber 3186 has the same specifications as the Caliber 3185 but is now equipped with Rolex’s newer paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and a smoother operating jump-hour hand. With that in mind, all reference 116710 GMT-Master II watches run solely on the Caliber 3186.
The Oyster case was an innovation of its time when it was developed by Rolex in 1926. It ushered in a brand new era of durable, everyday watches that could be worn during almost any activity without damaging the internal movement. The Submariner takes the design of the Oyster case one step further and increased its waterproofness up to 300 meters/1,000 feet.The ref. 16613 features a standard 40mm case in highly corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel. An 18 karat yellow gold screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel accompany the case, giving it a desirable two-tone design. The dial and bezel set are most commonly available in either black or blue, with some examples of the gem-set “Serti” dial (either champagne or silver in color and set with diamonds and blue sapphires) also available on the secondary market. Depending on the year produced, the ref. 16613 also features either a holes or no holes case and either Tritium or LumiNova used for the luminescence on the dial and hands.Regardless of the year of production, all two-tone Rolex 16613 Submariner watches are powered by Rolex’s trusty Caliber 3135 automatic movement. The 31-jewel movement beats at a rate of 28,800bph and includes a date complication, a 48-hour power reserve, automatic winding technology, and a sophisticated Breguet overcoil balance-spring. The movement has been a fixture in many Rolex wristwatches for more than three decades, and for a good reason. The Cal. 3135 has proven itself to be an accurate and robust movement, which can deliver decades of reliable performance if properly maintained.
The Rolex Crown Logo positioned at 12 under the triangle marker is three-dimensional, all hour markers and hands have yellow golden edge, which echoes with the yellow golden bezel markers. White luminous material applied on markers and hands will offer green light in the dark.By the way, the watch is equipped with a Super Asian 3135 movement, it is modified from a Miyota 9015 automatic movement, and it is better than the clone 3135 movement that is modified with a Chinese automatic, as we all know, automatic movement coming from Japan is always more stable and accurate.Whether in genuine or replica watch field, 114060 has a high popularity like black Submariner 116610 LN. The only difference is that 114060 does not have date function, while this will not stop it become a hot watch, because someone likes the cyclob and some people don’t. The replica Rolex Submariner 114060 here is made by J12 factory, not only it has a superior case finish, but it is also equipped with a super clone 3130 movement.The case is well brushed, it has a great hand touch and case profile is the same as genuine, because the usage of high quality watch material, the whole replica Rolex has a similar weight to original watch. Case and bracelet are made of solid 316L stainless steel, you will feel its weight on hand. The bezel uses real black ceramic, deeply engraved bezel has a silver cream pearl, which is domed not flat.Like Super 3135, the clone 3130 is also a great movement which J12 factory researched and developed. This movement now is only used by Rolex Submariner No Date replica, which is a dream watch for people who do not like a magnifier on the crystal. The movement only offers hours, minutes and seconds for the replica. The factory has modified the rotor and movement plates, so it will be closer to genuine 3130 calibre, besides, the clone 3130 also features a big red wheel.Although sold at a high price, but Rolex 114060 will not be a regret choice, it has 100% same quality as Noob Submariner 116610 LN.16610LV is an old Submariner model Rolex published to celebrate its 50th anniversary. I think it is the first Submariner to use a green ceramic bezel, in next a few years, Rolex released another Submariner with green bezel and dial, it is 116610LV, but I still love the old 16610LV model, I like its green bezel and black dial, because this gives me a good visual impact.The replica Rolex Submariner 16610LV below is made by BP factory, it is the so-called Swiss Made Replica Watch we usually discuss. Every thing on case finishing, dial details and accuracy is perfect. It gives a good wearing comfort and high end touch feeling.The biggest two selling points of the replica lie in its Swiss lume material and Super Clone 3135 movement.

In recent days, AR factory published a lot of Rolex Daytona replica watches that are made of genuine 904L stainless steel, these Daytona replica watches are best of the best in our market, however, these Daytonas have one fatal flaw, that is the non-working minute and hour chronograph. So, although ARF Daytona replica watches are made of the best material, they are still not perfect for watch fans who require full functional chronograph. Today, the Daytona replica watch that is going to be discussed in this article is an old model published last year, by J12 factory. Although the watch is made with 316L stainless steel and equipped with an Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, it works accurate, you know, high stability is very important for a chronograph watch. Nowadays, replica watches from big factories like Noob, J12, BP and ZF could be made 99% the same as genuines in outlook, only the movement is the biggest flaw, so to make the fake movement look closer to genuine caliber, these factories are spending a lot of time and effort in modifying the basic movement to make it look real, everyone knows too much modification on movement will affect its stability, so, in my opinion, these new Super Copy 3135 used on Submariner and clone 4130 on latest ARF Daytona are not as good as you think. However, this yellow gold Daytona uses the old Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, whose accuracy and stability have been tested for years by a lot of chronograph replica watches, so, this Daytona I am about to post is very rare and really good, you will never regret after purchase.
While bidirectional rotating bezels may be quicker for wearers to turn to the appropriate spot, as a dive bezel it’s not the best option. If the bezel gets accidentally knocked, this could cause divers to miscalculate how long they have been underwater. Therefore, a unidirectional bezel is more prudent because accidental knocks to the bezel can only result in overestimating immersion time – it’s far preferable to start ascending to the surface earlier or spend longer than necessary at a decompression stop.Rolex began equipping the Submariner with unidirectional bezels starting with the Submariner Date ref. 16800, which was introduced around 1979. The no-date Submariner model received a unidirectional bezel with the introduction of the Submariner ref. 14060 in 1990.Like the previous generation, the new unidirectional bezels included aluminum bezel inserts. In 1983, Rolex introduced the first two-tone Submariner model in the form of the Submariner Date ref. 16803, which sported a yellow gold knurled bezel with a black or blue aluminum insert. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Submariner in 2003, Rolex introduced the stainless steel Submariner Date ref. 16610LV with a green bezel insert.In 2008, Rolex introduced the first Submariner models equipped with unidirectional bezels featuring Cerachrom inserts. Cerachrom is Rolex’s proprietary ceramic alloy that is not only resistant to scratching but also to fading. The 60-minute graduations are cut into the bezel and then the ceramic bezel insert is fully coated with either yellow gold (for yellow gold and two-tone models) or platinum (for white gold or steel models). The gold/platinum is then polished away from the ceramic surface until only the recessed numerals and markings are left with the metal filling.By 2012, Rolex had rolled out the Cerachrom bezels across all Submariner models and color options include black, blue, and green. A quick way to know the color of the bezel is to look at the letters in the reference number: LB (blue bezel), LN (black bezel), and LV (green bezel).
