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.
Many of you know Planet Ocean, which is a classic series of Omega, however, few people know this 1948 watch. So, what secret hidden in this Planet Ocean Liquidmetal that was only limited to 1948 pieces? And how about its replica? In this article, I will give a detailed introduction. Whether you are interested in genuine Planet Ocean Liquidmetal 1948 or this replica, this article will help you a lot.The protype of Omega Planet Ocean is Omega Marine, which is the first diver’s watch of Omega, it is also the first diving watch in the world, at that time, Marine was under Constellation series of Omega. However, the Seamaster we love more firstly appeared in 1948, so Seamaster has a rich history that was almost 68 years.The watch I am going to introduce here was published by Omega in 2009, it is limited to 1948 pieces and also the first watch uses Liquidmetal as bezel material. And for the next a few years, Omega neve used Liquidmetal as bezel material. Until the appearance of 232.90.46.21.03.001, Omega started to produce liquidmetal watches in a large quantity.Below are all components this watch will use. The three-piece case construction contains case, back and soft iron anti-magnetic cover.
I have reviewed several Omega watches on my blog, they are all Planet Ocean models, which are the latest modern Omega Seamaster collection. If you are looking for something that is in the blood of Omega Seamaster, then this one is. The watch here is an Omega that has inherited the most authentic features of Seamaster 300 series, but its design also meets the aesthetic view of modern people. The watch being reviewed is an ultimate replica, I do not know which exact factory it is from, but its quality and replicating level are very high, which could be even compared with Blancpain Fifty Fathoms from Noob factory. The replica Omega is in black, there is also a blue version.It is the best 41mm Omega replica watch I have ever seen. 316L stainless steel case has polished lugs on front, the sides are brushed. The wave-shaped bezel is different from Rolex Submariner’s small clicks. The bezel is rotatable and has white deep engravings on the ceramic insert. Please check the pearl on the bezel, it is also different from Submariner’s, the latter looks more raised and round. Seeing from the side, the case is cut very well and has beautiful arc lines. The crown, which is protected by two steel guards, seems to be better integrated into the case. On the other side of the case, there is another crown at 10 o’clock, it is for Helium valve release.
The dial has four colors to separate each detail and give a better visibility. Black main dial matches with golden hour markers and hands, the date window features thick black font in white background, the gmt hand could be adjusted through the crown, it has a green stem that echoes with the green words “GMT-MASTER II” on dial, every part of the replica comes along with the golden color, this makes the watch to be in line with its Two Tone style.Whatever the size, or watch parts, they are all 1:1 replicated according to genuine, all external watch parts could be exchanged with genuine watch except the movement. The replica GMT Master 2 uses a high end Chinese automatic movement, which we usually called it Asian ETA 2836-2, this movement may be manufactured in Tianjin, China, the watch factory in Guangzhou bought the movement and modified it to the outlook of Rolex 3187, then they installed the modified movement in the replica.The following is a photo of the movement accuracy test in my watch studio:Rolex has always been mostly welcomed in watch industry, it is also one of the most popular replicated watch brands in fake watch market. There are different types of Rolex replicas now that are divided into various grades. The highest quality replica Rolex watches are manufactured by big factories such as BP, J12, Noob. Actually there are many high end Submariner replicas that had been made by Noob factory before, with the progress which replica watch made in technology, more and more factories participate in the manufacturing of replica Rolex. Today, I am going to introduce another quality Rolex watch, it is replica GMT Master II with blue red bezel. The watch is somewhat full of vintage style, red and blue bezel is classic and could be found on most vintage Rolex watches. They are usually called Pepsi Bezel. High quality replica Rolex usually has a good textured bezel, especially this one that paints red and blue color, the color junction on the bezel is natural. Bezel is the most eye-catching place of the Rolex GMT Master II, while its dial is also attractive, black background with white printing, all hour markers and hands have white luminescence coated. The GMT hand has a wide triangle head and a red stem. Overall, you can easily read every element on the dial.The case is made of 316L stainless steel, which is brushed, the bezel is rotating and has 120 clicks, crown guards fully wrap the crown to prevent it from being damaged by collision. The bracelet is made solid links, not hollow, you can completely feel its weight on hand. Crown buckle has clear lines and you can see highly-finished engravings on clasp when fully unfolding the buckle. The case back has nothing engravin and it is clean, one thing you may observe is the pins that connect bracelet and case head, they are so strong and will not crack.
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.
The dial can glow two lume light, green on minute hand, blue on hour markers, hour hand and the pip of second hand. By the way, the bezel pearl is superlumed green in the dark.The replica is equipped with a stainless steel bracelet, while it will also come with one pair of orange rubber band for free.Movement: Super Clone 8500 Based on Asia ETA 2836-2, Platinum Plated Movement Plates and Auto Rotor Case: 42mm*16mm, Solid 316F Stainless Steel, Brushed, Three-Dimensional Lugs Have Miltiple Cutting Faces Case Back: See-Through Crystal on The Center, Black Engravings on The Metal, Serial Number Engraving on Lug at 7 o’clock Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating Dial: Black with Orange Arabic Numeral 6, 9 and 12 as Well as Stick Hour Markers, Swiss Lume on Markers and Hands Bracelet: Solid 316F Stainless Steel, Brushed, with Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 50m
About the movement, ZF claimed that it is a clone IWC 89361, actually it is modified from a Chinese chronograph movement, we call it Asia Valjoux 7750, whatever behind the solid case back, the movement can completely achieve all functions of genuine watch. Besides, the stability of this type of Asia Valjoux 7750 has been tested for more than 10 years, it is trustworthy.Watch band looks nylon on the outside, but it is actually made of calf leather, you can see it on the back side. The nylon face outside can prevent rain and water drops when washing your hands, while the genuine leather that touches your skin will bring you a great wearing comfort. So such type of band has multiple purposes. The buckle on the band is crafted very well and has a good brushing finish.The review is done, let’s appreciate their acutal photos below.
