In 2008, a small factory cloned IWC Big Pilot, whether its appearance or movement, it has a large gap with genuine watch, the power reserve is faux. After seven years, Z factory built this Big Pilot again, they updated the dial and movement construction, even the power reserve is real, which was increased from 42 hours to 12 hours. Big Pilot is one of the most classic series of IWC, the genuine watch is also sold at a high price, so, to have such an 1:1 replica is a dream of many people. Here I will give a review of Big Pilot IW500901 replica watch, which is a great timepiece with perfect function and closest movement.Big case is brushed and almost has 47mm in diameter. The Pilot watch has a common case design that is similar to dress watches, its dial completely shows every thing clearly in front of your eyes. Seeing from the side of the case, you will find out the difference between 1:1 replica and those cheap replicas. The replica IWC is polished well, especially its bezel, it has a polished silver edge that looks like a mirror. The streamlined design of the case ensures a great fit to your wrist. Please check some photos below, the crystal reflects a little hue when under a certain angle, this indicates the sapphire crystal has a layer of anti-reflective coating. So the dial is very clear even under the sun light, it seems like the crystal is invisible.
Talking about watches and inspiration can spawn some pretty interesting debates, and for good reason – especially in the dive watch category. Of course, early dive watches weren’t “inspired by” anything; dive watches were tools created with a very distinct purpose. That said, as the years went on and the dive watch category moved away from practical utility towards desirable daily-wearers, design inspiration soon came into play. Today we’re looking at luxury watches inspired by the ocean, and digging into the stories behind the creation of each piece and how they relate to the big blue beyond.As mentioned above, there is no reason to go into a Rolex Submariner history lesson here; however, the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea with D-Blue dial (a variant of the original Deepsea that was first unveiled in 2008) has a very distinct connection to our world’s deepest waters.The origins of this piece come from Rolex’s involvement in (read: sponsorship of) James Cameron’s deep dive into the Mariana Trench. Though not limited in production, the piece is commemorative of the 2012 dive, and features a gradient blue to black dial that mimics the loss of light as one descends into the ocean’s depths. Additionally, the green chosen for the DEEPSEA text on its dial is matched to the color of Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger Submarine that took a prototype Rolex watch all the way down into the trench affixed to one of its robotic arms.The legacy of Jacques-Yves Cousteau is unparalleled in the world of underwater exploration, and many years ago (back in 2004 to be precise), IWC decided to become a partner of the Cousteau Society – a non-profit organization looking to continue the initiatives set out by Jacques-Yves several decades prior. From the onset of the partnership, IWC has included special limited-edition Aquatimer models in their collections, with a portion of the proceeds of each watch headed towards the organization.Of their bigger undertakings, Cousteau’s famed research vessel (named ‘Calypso’) was raised from the sea floor after sinking on account of an incident in Singapore in 1996. Progress on Calypso has been slow-going, and a fire on the ship while docked in Turkey two years ago has slowed things further. Naturally, there are rumors swirling that a redesign of the IWC Aquatimer line across the board will appear in conjunction with the vessel’s unveiling.
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.
Compared with V1, this version has a much slimmer movement. First, the watch is made of better material 904L stainless steel, whether the lugs and clasp, there are correct engravings. There are same correct engravings on the back side of the case back and movement plates. The movement plates have Rolex SEALs, the entire movement is decorated to the lookf of genuine Rolex 4130.The dial is blue, it has special sunray patterns, the texture is high quality. I do not know how did the factory do, but it really looks high quality. All hour markers have been filled with quality Swiss lume material, they will have a strong lume light in the dark conditions.The replica is equipped with a super clone 4130 movement. It is the best quality chronograph movement in replica watch market. Compared with the movement installed in ARF Daytona, this super clone 4130 movement can achieve a full chronograph function. By the way, the replica watch comes with one pair of free short rubber strap. The following are details of the replica.Movement: Super Clone 4130, Decorated Movement Plates and Auto Rotor to Look of Rolex Calibre 4130 Case: 40mm*12.5mm, Solid 904L Stainless Steel Bezel: Black Ceramic Crystal: Sapphire with Tiny Rolex Crown Logo at 6 o’clock Dial: Blue with Working Subdials, Blue Superlume on Markers and Handsn Bracelet: Top Quality Black Rubber with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 30m Daytona and Submariner are two models that have been mostly replicated in recent months. Both Noob and AR factories have brought us a lot of amazing replicas during this period, I can not share all of them with you here, so I chose some representative models to review. Today, I will introduce another novelty AR factory has brought to us, it is a Daytona replica watch, which is in full yellow gold. This is the latest V2 edition, AR updated its bezel, dial and bracelet on basis of V1. There are several selling points on this replica watch, please read the following article.First, the watch is fully made of 904L stainless steel, while on the surface of case and bracelet, there is a thick layer of 18K yellow gold, which is measured to be 5 mils thick. This is one of the selling points of the replica. Based on V1, this time AR factory made improvement on the case engraving and bezel engraved numerals. The black color of the tachymeter scales on the bezel is closer to genuine. About engraving, check the back side of each lug, it has correct symbol engraving like genuine watch case.Replica Rolex Daytona 116518LN The second selling point, it is the movement. Actually I did not recommend AR Factory Daytona before, because they do not have a full chronograph function, the subdials at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock have no function, only the second-chronograph hand on the center is working. However, when I think back, although the replica does not have a full chronograph function, its movement may be more reliable. Some features are sacrificed, this makes the movement to be slimmer and more stable. We know Noob also makes this Daytona with full chronograph function, all subdials are working like genuine, but I do not think the movement of Noob Daytona is more reliable than that of ARF Daytona. Besides, the ARF Daytona is sold at a much cheaper price.
Here I will give an introduction of the same watch, but there will be some strange things you can find on the watch, have you noticed? Yes, it is the dial and case back.The replica here is also manufactured by Noob factory, with every detail made to be perfect, black dial and black ceramic bezel are main features of Submariner 116610 LN, super clone bezel has correct markers engraved in suitable depth and thickness, bezel engravings seem to be thinner than that of other Submariner replicas published before, but you can not deny this one is the best and closest to genuine.The dial is black and has a little difference with the formal 116610 LN, you can see red words “FUCK EM” printed on, the dial lume is as strong as the previous Submariner. Do not be obsessed with the thickness of these dial fonts, many people can not find such flaws even some watch experts, if you are too concerned about these small details, I suggest you buy a genuine Rolex Submariner, because a replica will never be made 100% same as genuine, its dial is the biggest tale. About the red words “FUCK EM“, I do not know its meaning, you could google it and tell us by leaving a comment under this post, thank you.Case back is smoothly polished, it is screwed down, so there is no gap between the case back and the main case holder, this design gives the replica super water resistant performance. On the center of the case back, it is curved with word “Supreme”.
As previously mentioned, the case also received a ceramic “Cerachrom” insert, which is virtually scratch-proof and will not fade and lose its vibrant color like aluminum. The ref. 116613 is also available with Rolex’s patented “Chromalight” lume on the dial, which offers a bright, blue glow for up to 8 continuous hours (as well as larger plots). Similar to the ref. 16613, the newer model Submariner Rolex 116613 is also available with either a blue or black dial and bezel combination. However, the Serti dials on the 116613 only come in blue or black (rather than champagne or silver), and do not feature sapphires set into the markers on the 6, 9, and 12 o’clock locations. Instead, ref. 116613 Serti dials only have 8 diamonds set in them, and feature lume-filled indexes for the 6, 9, and 12 o’clock hour markers.Both the Submariner 16613 and 116613 run on the Rolex Caliber 3135 perpetual movement with a 48-hour power reserve. However, the version of the Cal. 3135 inside the newer ref. 116613 is fitted with an upgraded paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring for better resistance to shocks and temperature variations.
