Replica Batman Rolex GMT Master II 116710 BLNR Review

What’s the connection with The Dark Knight and the Black & Blue Rolex Batman watch? Find out now!

Possibly the most expensive and famous of all Batman watches is the Rolex “Batman”. Of course, we’re not talking about any watch that was worn on the wrist of Bruce Wayne. Rather, the Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR with a two-colored black and blue bezel is another one of their watches that got a superhero nickname. Let’s find out how and why this Rolex watch is connected to the Dark Knight.

First, we need to begin with what made the difference between the old Rolex GMT series and the new Rolex GMT-Master 2 series? For starters, Rolex has decided to make more use of their new patented “Cerachrom” hardened ceramic bezel inserts which are highly scratch resistant and won’t fade with exposure to UV rays. In doing so Rolex had to challenge themselves to find a way to combine two colors with ceramic material. Back when bezels were manufactured using metal, this wasn’t such a big deal but doing the same thing with ceramic material takes some serious creative thinking. Good thing that Rolex was never accused of being uncreative when it comes to manufacturing methods. They practically wrote the book on innovation.

The Rolex Batman price literally shot up over the past few years and it’s virtually impossible to find one selling for the MSRP anywhere and it doesn’t look like it will come down in price any time soon either. The BLNR is one of those exceptional watches where if you bought one a couple of years ago and never wore it, you would be sitting on a few thousand dollars more than you originally paid. With the volatility of Rolex prices lately, there’s no saying that it will be dropping in price in the foreseeable future.

The BLNR Rolex 116710 is not the first two-tone bezel Rolex. The Rolex GMT collection has always had watches with two-tone bezels…well before the Rolex GMT Batman was introduced. This is a tradition that has lasted for over 50 years. From their “Pepsi” bezel with red and blue tones (which come to think of it, with those colors it would be more catchy if it was called the “Superman”) to their “Coke” bezel with red and black (Daredevil or Deadpool?) Rolex two-toned bezels always somehow received a nice nickname. We now have yet another color combination for the bi-colored bezel blue and black which is called the “Batman” or “Dark Night”. Some even call it “The Bruiser” because of the black and royal blue hues. Why Batman? Well, black and blue are some of the most common color combinations used in the classic Batman comics and shows and …it sure sounds catchy!

Rolex has used these duotone bezels for over half a century and the Pepsi and Coke dials had a practical purpose. They were an easy way to distinguish between the AM and PM hours. The only catch was that the colors and contrast really stuck out like a sore thumb and those that are more conservative in the way they dress would need another choice of colors that would sit well in business attire. While there are many people that still love the red & black Coke bezels and red & blue Pepsi bezels around the dials, the black & blue is pushing its way up in popularity, most likely because of the versatility of the color combination of this black and blue bezel.

Which special features does the Batman Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR have to offer?
The Rolex GMT-Master II “Dark Night” or “Batman” watch has a dual time zone feature and for the second time zone hand, uses a matching blue color on the GMT arrowhead hand which has a luminous fill. This GMT time zone complication is very convenient for people who travel or that make frequent calls to a country or state with another time zone.

The 40mm Rolex Batman GMT watch uses the patented “Triplock” screw-down crown which locks the case as tight as the hatch of a submarine. This protects the Rolex 3186 caliber automatic movement which is a 31 jewel Superlative Chronometer which has an accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per day and beats at 28,800 VPH.

To people who love luxury watches, Rolex is truly a superhero watchmaker and deserves every hero nickname they get such as the Rolex Batman watch. Another superhero watch you should look at is the Submariner “Hulk” which got its nickname and fame due to its unique color.

From the time this article was written, the Rolex model 116710 BLNR discussed here has become more scarce since it’s not being produced anymore. On the plus side, you can have a look at the full specs of the NEW 2019 Rolex GMT Master II “Batman” Jubilee model # 126710BLNR:

Replica Rolex Lady Datejust 28mm 279161 Review

Time to get acquainted with a ladies watch of the highest caliber.

Every so often we need to review an exceptional ladies watch. While there are so many out there, there are few that are as worthy as this Rolex Datejust 28mm. The model featured in this review has the reference number 279161 Chocolate Index Jubilee. Let’s get started, shall we?

Rolex Lady Datejust 28mm 279161 Review
The first impression of this watch is that its design is striking, rich and warm. It has a pretty and small size at only 28mm but the combination of stainless steel and Rolex’s proprietary hue of rose gold called Everose gives this watch wrist presence that would otherwise not be there on stainless steel or even a platinum models.

The Chocolate sunburst dial looks quite delicious and makes use of Everose for the bezel, the luminous hands and index hour markers which all have a nice polished finish.

The Datejust 28mm collection contains hundreds of different models and they vary in design, case material, and bracelet type. On this model, the two-tone jubilee bracelet provides for a distinctly Rolex look with the smaller polished rose gold center links laid out in a staggered formation between the brushed stainless-steel outer links.

The bracelet is fastened with a concealed stainless-steel folding clasp that snaps shut with an Everose Rolex crown logo which stems from the end of the rose gold center links. As you can see from the image below, the inside of the folding clasp has special Rolex engravings and markings.

Another distinctly Rolex feature is the Cyclops date magnifier at the 3 o’clock position. On a small, 28mm watch, when you compare them side by side against the much larger men’s Datejust watches, the magnifier looks larger than the men’s but it’s not too large in any sense of the word.

This watch will grab people’s attention. It’s elegant and sophisticated, yet youthful and stylish. It’s not the kind of watch you would want to wear if your wrist is trying to fly under the radar.

One thing that does fly under the radar on this watch is its movement, the case uses a solid case back so it’s sealed in tight and like all Rolexes can’t bee seen through the case backs like some other brands. However, that just adds to the mystique of the caliber that powers this watch.

Of course, we’re talking about the in-house manufacture caliber 2236. This is an automatic mechanical movement which contains 31 watch jewels and has a beat of 28,800 VpH. It features a patented Syloxi hairspring which is made from a composite produced from the antimagnetic materials silicon and silicon oxide.

The self-winding Rolex 2236 movement has a power reserve of 55 hours and is both a highly accurate COSC certified chronometer and comes with a Superlative Chronometer designation from Rolex attesting to its even better than COSC specs performance and precision.

Overall this is an excellent ladies Rolex watch that looks magnificent and offers excellent performance. To browse the full collection of Replica Rolex Lady Datejust 28mm Stainless Steel and Everose Gold watches click the button below.

Replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm VS Rolex Datejust 41mm

Let’s get a close look at and compare two very versatile entry-level Rolex watches.

We once wrote a very detailed but to the point comparison of the Replica Rolex Datejust 41mm and the Replica Rolex Datejust II. Both series have excellent timepieces with some distinguishable differences which you can read about in that post at another time. Today, however, we will be reviewing a model from the 41mm Rolex Datejust series and comparing it against the Oyster Perpetual 39mm. Let’s jump right in, shall we?

Comparison: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm VS Rolex Datejust 41mm

Of the ninety-plus models of 41mm Rolex Datejust currently available, the 126300 Black Index Oyster is possibly one of the most popular, and for several reasons. We will compare it against a very similar looking watch called the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm 114300 Black Oyster.

To start, these are what most would call excellent entry-level Rolex watches and account for two of the ten most affordably priced Rolex models for men. They both have a black sunray dial which by design make them both conservative models that can be worn either while dressed up or when casually dressed.

In general, entry-level Rolex watches for men are limited. The slightly smaller Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm has similar aesthetic features such as the oyster bracelet and dial color and case size weighing in at a smaller yet classic size of 39mm.

The Oyster Perpetual 39mm has slightly different index hour markers which are punctuated with a square-shaped printed 5-minute marker. The Datejust 41mm, on the other hand, uses printed Roman numerals for the 5-minute intervals combined with the same type of luminous applied index hour markers.

While it’s only a few millimeters smaller than the Datejust 41mm model that we are also reviewing here, and while the 39mm Oyster Perpetual has a lower price, there are big differences on the inside of the watch and significant reasons to opt for the 41mm Datejust model over the Oyster Perpetual 39mm, if it’s still within your price range.

Luxury watches have been showing a growing trend in having a larger and more prominent case size. The most recent models from just about every manufacturer at this point have been showing bigger and bolder case sizes. However, that shouldn’t be the main reason why you would choose the 41mm Black Index Oyster Rolex Datejust 126300. Then there is the movement…

One of the main reasons to choose the 41mm Datejust lies beneath the solid steel case back. The beating heart powering the Rolex Datejust 41mm is the Rolex in-house caliber 3235 which beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and has a much longer power reserve of 70 hours on a full wind compared to the 48-hour power reserve found in the caliber 3132 that powers the 39mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual. 

At least twice a year you will find another reason (although a practical and simple one) to appreciate choosing the 41mm model and that would be the would be the clasp. The clasp on the Rolex Datejust 41mm 126300 has a special feature called the Easylink 5mm comfort extension link, allowing you to without any tools, make small adjustments to the bracelet size to compensate for the way the wrist expands and contracts when exposed to changes in humidity and temperature.

The Oyster Perpetual 39mm, on the other hand, has a clasp that also allows for micro-adjustments to be made but would require a tool to make these small adjustments to the folding buckle. 

Conclusion: Both watches have great features. The 39mm Oyster Perpetual has a price tag that is approximately $2,300 less than the Datejust but comes without the added date window that you will find on the Datejust 41mm and doesn’t feature the Easylink comfort extension link also found on the Datejust. The mechanical movement powering the Rolex Datejust 41mm features a significantly longer power reserve duration of 70-hours compared to the Oyster Perpetual 39mm which has a power reserve of only 48-hours.

Replica Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN Black Review

After the many years of popularity that the Replica Rolex Daytona Chronograph enjoyed a few of the most popular models have been replaced with enhanced versions with only subtle aesthetic differences.

Today, we’ll be reviewing the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN Black which replaced model # 116520 Black which was the go-to stainless steel and black dial Rolex Daytona for many years.

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN Black Review

Let’s dissect this watch feature by feature in a detailed review that is easy to read and navigate.

BEZEL

The most noticeable difference between the two models is the addition of the black “Cerachrom” bezel. This new and improved fixed bezel is highly scratch-resistant, excellently resists corrosion and impervious to the color fading effects of UV rays. Compared to the polished stainless-steel bezel of its predecessor, the now black bezel gives the impression that it is a larger dial.

A few things about the bezel design also changed. Namely, the typeface which was used on the engraved tachymeter scale is bolder and more legible and is filled with a platinum PVD fill. Another slight difference on the bezel is the use of triangles instead of dots beneath the numerals on the tachymeter.

The numerals on the tachymeter now also rotate around the bezel and are no longer horizontally displayed the way they were on the previous model. A lot of thought has been put into the redesign of the bezel and it has been well received by Rolex Daytona fans everywhere.

CASE

The 40mm x 12.4mm thick oyster case is constructed of Rolex’s corrosion-resistant superalloy known as 904L steel which is known to hold its polish more than your standard stainless steel. While 904L steel is not necessarily the toughest steel alloy known to man, it does have more luster than others and is the perfect material for a Rolex. Other manufacturers are not equipped to use this more expensive type of steel and often have their cases produced for them. Since Rolex manufactures all its components in-house, they have an advantage.

As the world’s first waterproof case, the oyster case has almost become synonymous with the name Rolex. The patented “oyster” case has been one of Rolex’s notable signatures and has been around since its conception in 1926. A system that tightens and locks the monobloc middle case via a screw-down bezel, a screw-down case back, and a screw-down crown. Using this “Triplock” locking system the Daytona’s case is as secured against water like a submarine hatch with a minimum water-resistance rating of 100m/300ft.

While you will see this “oyster” case used all on practically all non-chronograph Rolex sports models, the Daytona has the addition of the screw-down sleeves protecting the chronograph pushers.

DIAL

The dial has not changed since the last model and why should it? There wasn’t anything that needed improving on the dial design since the Cosmograph Daytona chronograph is possibly the most recognizable chronograph dial out there.

From the applied polished steel hour markers with their luminous fill to the proportions, everything has stayed the same. The easy to read Chromalight display uses a long-lasting luminescent material that glows in the dark with a bright blue hue.  Just like any Rolex Daytona chronograph, the word DAYTONA is printed in red and wraps around the top of the small running seconds located at the 6 o’clock position.

SUB-DIALS

Aesthetically, everything has stayed the same from the previous model when it comes to the silver-rimmed sub-registers on the dial. The bottom center sub-dial at the 6 o’clock position is the small running seconds sub-dial. The sub-registers on the right and left of this sub-dial at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions are used for the chronograph.

CHRONOGRAPH

The chronograph feature gives an extra function to the watch and is essentially a stopwatch allowing drivers to time their laps with up to an eighth of a second accuracy. The mechanical chronograph complication used in the Cosmograph Daytona was designed to have fewer parts than your standard chronograph making it a more dependable stopwatch. As a column-wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch mechanism which has a smoother start/stop and reset action than CAM actuated mechanisms.

The chronograph’s large central seconds hand sweeps across the dial very smoothly in that perpetual motion which a Rolex is famous for. The Sub-dial to the right of the dial at the 3 o’clock position is a 30-minute counter and across the dial at the 9 o’clock position is a 12-hour counter. These three hands are smoothly operated via the chronograph pushers which are the buttons located above and below the winding crown on the right side of the case.

MOVEMENT

Rolex uses their in-house caliber 4130 self-winding movements to power their Daytona watches which features their magnetic-resistant blue ‘Parachrom’ hairspring and stop-seconds for precise time setting.

The 4130 caliber is an automatic movement which will keep itself wound by using your kinetic energy to tighten the mainspring using a rotor. This will keep it wound provided you move your hands enough throughout the day.

If you don’t move all that much throughout the day, the winding crown can be used to tighten the spring manually. On a full wind, the power reserve should allow for the watch to run for approximately 72 hours or 66 hours if you are running the chronograph function.

The Caliber 4130 is also a COSC certified movement which means it has a prestigious Chronometer designation testifying to its reliability and high precision with a maximum of -4/+6 seconds per day in deviation.

Once the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute issues the caliber a COSC certificate, the caliber is essentially awarded a chronometer designation and is then sent back to Rolex for further testing.

Rolex then installs the COSC certified chronometer movement into the watch case and conducts further testing until the caliber receives a new in-house designation called the Superlative Chronometer. This is issued by Rolex once the caliber has achieved an accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per day which is at least twice as accurate as a COSC chronometer!

BRACELET

Rolex’s Oyster bracelet is made of three-piece oystersteel links. The two outer links have a brushed finish while the center link has a beautiful polished finish. The links at either end of the bracelet are connected to the polished lugs on the case so that when you look at it, the finishing alternates from polished to brushed and then again to the polished finish for the center link.

CLASP

The oysterlock double-locking folding clasp is fitted with Rolex’s patented Easylink5mm extension link which allows you to make a quick 5mm micro-adjustment to the size of the bracelet. This is a very handy feature that doesn’t require any special tools to adjust. This feature was designed to allow your watch to compensate in size for the natural expansion and contraction of the wrist when there are fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

SUMMARY

The demand for this watch was through the roof from day one. In fact, before Replica Rolex even released the new steel Daytona watches to their distribution network, preorders poured in and all of them were already presold before they even hit stores. There was a backlog of people waiting to get their hands on one (or is it to get one on their hands?). Point being this is not always a very easy watch to find and lately, they will sell for well above the manufacturer’s suggested retail price based on supply and demand alone.

Like all Rolex sport models, this is built tough. It has excellent accuracy and enough water resistance that (provided that it’s not in hot water) you wouldn’t have to worry if it got wet while swimming, snorkeling or showering. The Rolex brand is the most recognized watch brand in the world so you would certainly get lots of compliments and attention with one of these on your wrist.

Rolex also has one of the best warranties in the business. Their 5-year warranty allows you to sleep at night knowing that you’ll have the Daytona for years to come.

Replica Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN Review

One of the most iconic dive watches ever made is getting its time to shine brighter than ever. Join us as we do an in-depth and though Rolex Submariner Date review.

 The Rolex Submariner is not the first diver watch ever made and surely not the last. However, it is the one that popularized dive watches for the non-professional. The Submariner started a trend and popularized the iconic look of a dive watch and watched it become what it is today. Let’s dive right in then, shall we?

Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN Review

The Submariner has steadily evolved over many years. As new horological technologies emerged, many patented by Rolex, the Submariner only got better, more accurate and more reliable. One thing that stayed the same is the iconic look of the Submariner. While over time watches have been designed larger, the Submariner, which started as a 36mm watch in 1955, over time it grew and now stands at a larger yet conservative size of 40mm that it is today.

It wasn’t until 1966 that the Submariner Date was added to the long line of Submariners that have graced the wrists of those fortunate enough to have one. Complete with the Cyclops lens which magnified the date display, the Submariner collection now offered a new feature which became one of the most recognizable symbols of a Rolex watch.

DIAL

The stainless-steel hands of the Rolex Submariner date is filled with luminescent material as well allowing for maximum visibility in low-light conditions. The Cyclops lens sits on top of the date window at the three o’clock position magnifying the date.

The black dial features applied luminescent hour markers featuring polished steel rims and a printed seconds track can be found on the perimeter. The hour markers use a combination of different shapes: index hour markers are used for the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions. All other hour markers aside from the triangle hour marker at the 12 o’clock position using a round shape.

MOVEMENT

After many mechanical calibers graced the cases of the Submariner over the years, the 116610LN is now powered by the in-house Rolex 3135 Automatic movement. Why had Rolex chosen this self-winding caliber for the Submariner?

The 31 jewel 3135 movement uses the guardian of time oscillator which consists of a balance wheel and Rolex’s patented Parachrom magnetic resistant hairspring. A spring that outperforms traditional hairsprings ten-to-one even in the event of it undergoing shock.

In addition to the remarkable oscillator, it is a Swiss-made chronometer which underwent many tests by COSC. Aside from the fact that the 3135 is a COSC certified caliber, it, like all mechanical Replica Rolex watches, received further adjustments once it was returned to the Rolex manufacture after receiving its prestigious mechanical pedigree at COSC.

These in-house adjustments bring the accuracy up to -2/+2 seconds per day precision and this is over twice as accurate as a certified COSC chronometer. Hence the printing of the words SuperlativeChronometer on the dial.

CASE

The 40mm case is made of 904L steel and is 13mm thick. It’s a nice size for everyday use and not as thick as the Rolex Sea-Dweller or Deepsea watch The front of the case and lugs use a satin/brushed finish with polished bevels and edges and crown guards. The crown is also polished and uses a patented Triplock locking system ensuring that the crown screws-down to the oyster case. This, along with the screwed-down solid steel case back locks the crown and tightens the case with the same security as a submarine hatch allowing for an up to 1000ft / 300m water resistance rating.

BEZEL

The 116610LN features a bezel that rotates in a single direction and is made of polished steel with a grippy ribbed edge. The bezel has a black Cerachom bezel insert. This ceramic bezel is highly resistant to the color fading that is associated with exposure to ultraviolet rays. This material is also very scratch-resistant and is great at avoiding corrosion. The bezel features a luminous dot at the start position and matte silver-toned numbers and graduated indices.

BRACELET

The Submariner 116610LN is equipped with an Oyster bracelet that is made of 904L Oystersteel and uses Rolex’s  Glidelock extension system that allows you to easily make adjustments to the bracelet’s size. This contraption allows for up to 20 millimeters of total adjustment in 2mm increments. All without the use of any tools.

The steel bracelet has a nice brushed finish with polished edges and is fastened with a folding safety clasp with a safety latch and is designed for maximum comfort and long-term use.

Replia Rolex Day-Date 40mm White Gold Meteorite Review

This white gold 40mm Rolex Day-Date is out of this world. Join us as we review the Rolex Day-Date 40mm Meteorite reference # m228239-0055 228239.  

A meteorite is rare. These meteorite dial Replica Rolex watches are also hard to come by. Reserved for only some of their finest watches, Rolex features certain models with a dial hewn from a genuine meteorite. Let’s get a close encounter with one of these, shall we?

Rolex Day-Date 40mm White Gold Meteorite Review

A detailed review of Rolex reference # m228239-0055 AKA model # 228239 Meteorite Baguette

ROLEX METEORITE DIAL

Fake Rolex watches are known for having extraordinary dials but the look and texture on these extraterrestrial meteorite dials look literally out of this world. Rolex has a history of pairing some of their most famous and noteworthy watch collections with rare materials and these dials can only be found on Platinum or 18kt gold watches.

Most meteorites are usually made of either space rock or are pieces of a planetary core that eventually found their way into our orbit and drawn down to earth from our planet’s gravitational pull. Most meteorites also look like a plain old rock so where did they find meteorites that look so appealing?  To answer this, we’ll go back almost two hundred years to a point in history where a Captain J.E. Alexander reported what is categorized as a Class IVA meteorite known as the “Gibeon” Meteorite in Namaqualand, Namibia.  An 11.25” x 8.75” x 0.25” thick slice of the Gibeon meteorite sold at Christie’s for $11,875 USD. This can hopefully give you some context of the value.

It is believed that the “Gibeon” Meteorite was part of a planetary core and has that unique crystalline crosshatch pattern which is essentially comprised of crystallized iron and nickel. This pattern can only be seen on the inside once the meteorite is sliced. This pattern is also known as the Widmanstättenpattern or Thomson structure (which may be easier to pronounce). These patterns are usually found in octahedrite iron meteorites and some pallasites. This pattern won’t appear in iron ores from planet Earth.

Whatever remains of the 26,000 KG of the Gibeon Meteorite that was found along the Great Fish River in Namibia is now under the protection of the Namibian government. Luckily, Rolex managed to procure some of this interstellar material before these protective laws were put into place.

This exquisite meteorite dial features 18kt white gold hands and baguette diamond index hour markers. The curved day indicator window is above the polished Rolex logo at the 12 o’clock position with a cyclops magnifier fused to the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal to enhance the visibility of the date window at the 3 o’clock position. The day and date switch instantly at midnight, unlike many other watches where it gradually changes.

18Kt WHITE GOLD CASE

The 18kt white gold case measures 40mm in diameter (47.4mm from one lug to lug) with a 12mm case thickness. Rolex has its own foundries which allow them to cast the most exquisite alloys for their gold. Ensuring maximum luster. They use their own in-house laboratories to inspect every piece of metal they obtain to ensure maximum purity using next-generation equipment. This conjures up the popular adage: “If you want to make sure it’s done right; you need to do it yourself!”.

The case features an 18Kt white gold Twinlock crown and a fluted bezel, one of the most distinguishably ‘Rolex’ features with its wavy design. It is instantaneously recognizable and very dapper. This signature Rolex feature creates a medley of light and shadows when lights it hits the gold fluted bezel. Originally this was more of a functional design element used for gripping a rotating bezel. However, over time, this has become a premium esthetic feature on some of the more prized Rolex collections and only found in gold even on a fixed (non-rotating) bezel such as this one.

MOVEMENT

The in-house self-winding caliber that is powering this magnificent timepiece is the Rolex caliber 3255 automatic movement. It has an impressive power reserve of approximately 70 hours and oscillates at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour. This 31-jewel movement features a blue paramagnetic   Parachrom hairspring and is further protected with Rolex’s proprietary Paraflex shock absorbers.

The 3255 caliber is both a COSC Certified Chronometer and a Superlative Chronometer. This means that first the movement was sent to a third party laboratory at COSC and received its Chronometer status, a prestigious precision pedigree attesting to its accuracy of -4/+6 seconds of deviation per day. Then the caliber is then sent back to Rolex where it is cased and regulated further until it reached an accuracy rating of no less than an astonishing -2/+2 seconds per day. The bottom line is that it is a highly accurate mechanical caliber.

PRESIDENT BRACELET

Just like the case, the President bracelet is constructed of 18kt white gold and looks exquisite. Its links have a semi-circular shape and use a brushed finish on the outer links and a polished finish on the inner links. When fully linked, it can accommodate wrists with a wrist size of up to 8” or 20.5cm. The President bracelet is fastened with one of Rolex’s concealed folding Crown clasps.

FATHER’S DAY REPLICA WATCH GIFT RECOMMENDATIONS

Father’s Day 2020 is coming up on June 21. Do you have a Father’s Day gift ready? If you don’t know what gift to give your father, then read on. A watch is a much loved and sought after piece of jewelry, making it a great gift choice. Watches are given to different people with different symbols. On Father’s Day, as children, we give our dear father a watch to signify that we will be with him every second of every day and forever. So it’s not a bad idea to give your dear father a luxury replica watch on Father’s Day. 中古ロレックス時計

The preferred watch brand is definitely Rolex and everyone should have no problem with that. This streamlined and easy-to-read brand name is already known around the world. Among them, the Rolex Submariner replica collection is the best choice. It is an exercise watch for everyday life. If you want to pick elegant Rolex watches to give to your father, then Cellini dress watches replica and Luxury Day-Date watches. Other Rolex sports watch collections are also great choices. ロレックス時計

TAG Heuer watches have a unique sporting style, as they have always had an intimate connection with motor racing. But TAG Heuer replica watches are primarily chronographs, and these watches are not for everyday use. So you can choose a simple TAG Heuer Formula 1 three-hand watch. The 43mm TAG Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 watches are also a good choice. フェイクロレックス

Patek Philippe watches are like works of art, each one is exquisite and every detail is carefully designed. But I think these exquisite watches are better suited as collectibles. For an everyday watch, the Replica Patek Philippe Nautilus is the way to go. The rounded square bezel, and the one-piece bracelet are the symbols of this brand.

If it’s Breitling, then surely a pilot’s watch or a dive watch will come to mind. The new Breitling replica watches released in the last two years basically have a simpler style, which of course is a good phenomenon. I think the 42mm Breitling PREMIER B01 CHRONOGRAPH with panda dial is a good choice. The new Breitling Superocean Heritage II Automatic watches are a great choice. コピーロレックス

In fact, the love given to older fathers goes unrequited. So on this special day, it would be a little comforting to our hearts to have a special gift for Dad. ロレックス腕時計 レプリカロレックス

Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf established Tudor in 1946. When creating Tudor, Wilsdorf’s mission was to manufacture watches with the same integrity and standards of Rolex. However, he wanted to do so at a more affordable price point. With the brand’s first models, he did just that. The Oyster and Oyster Prince combined elements of the Rolex style and quality. However, their price points were more accessible and thus more attractive to a wider scope of customers.

Through the remainder of the 1940s and into the 1950s, Tudor began to take on a life of its own. It grew increasingly independent of the reputation behind its parent brand. 1952 was a particularly notable year for Tudor. The British ministry sent a group of scientists to the northern most point in Greenland, each armed with a Tudor.

In 1954, Tudor debuted one of its now iconic models: the Oyster Prince Submariner. They released the first edition of the model just after the Rolex 6204 Submariner. The two variations shared several common features, from its screw-down back to its crown.

Tudor also has a rich history with the military. In the late 1960s, the brand caught the attention of military forces around the globe. The U.S. Navy was looking for a watch that had supreme accuracy and that could withstand extreme diving conditions. The Tudor Submariner was the perfect fit. The French Marine Nationale began issuing Tudor timepieces to its most elite serviceman. This practice continued for over a quarter century. Their model of choice was the 7922 Tudor Submariner. The Marine Nationale even assisted in developing and testing Tudor timepieces to optimize them for diving. Other military organizations, from the Jamaican Defense Force to the Canadian Navy, have also chosen the Tudor Submariner for their servicemen because of its outstanding construction and durability.

As Tudor’s popularity continued to rise, the brand started to develop some of its signature style. In 1968, they debuted their now iconic Snowflake hour hand. This distinctive feature first debuted on a Ref. 7016/0. This design element helped differentiate Tudor from its parent brand.

Over the next few decades, the watch industry faced the quartz crisis. Still, Tudor persisted with the production of mechanical watches. They dialed back the designs and retired the once coveted Snowflake hands. By 2010, the brand resurged with one of its most groundbreaking models: the Heritage Chronograph. Shortly after, Tudor added two other new models to its catalog: the Fastrider in 2011 and the Ranger in 2014.

Since the introduction of the Heritage series, Tudor has continued to develop more daring timepieces from the inside out. In 2015, the brand introduced its first in-house movement. The Tudor North Flag was the first model to feature this in-house movement. Updated variations in the Tudor Pelagos and Tudors Heritage Black Bay models soon followed.

Another important piece of Tudor’s growth and development has been expanding into new markets. Although it might come as a surprise, Tudor first launched in the U.S. relatively recently in 2013. Their work in this area continues to this day. For instance, they just entered the Japanese market in 2018.

Tudor’s parent brand has made a name for itself by steadfastly sticking to its timeless, classic, and conservative design sense. However, Tudor has established a reputation for being more unique and experimental with its designs. From developments like their integrated cases to risks like using bold color schemes on their dials, Tudor continues to push the bounds of modern watchmaking. Today, a mix of minimalistic tool watches and eye-catching chronographs characterize Tudor’s lineup.

Tudor Black Bay guide

You know how much we love a model guide on this channel. And I’m excited to bring you this one specifically. Today we are talking about the Tudor Black Bay. And even though the Black Bay launched only a few years ago in 2012, the collection now includes over a dozen variations. And these variations range from different colored dials, case materials to sizes and complications. And since they’re so many options in a concentrated timeline we figured we’d create a buying guide.

So, we’re going to cover the main references and what to look out for, and then give our pick on which Tudor Black Bay to get. So, let’s Dive in.

First up, what’s so special about the Black Bay? So Tudor is a brand that burst back into the US market less than a decade ago and made some serious waves in the luxury industry. The brand is heralded for its accessibility and price-points for what amounts to a lot of watch for the money, and we couldn’t agree more. Since 2012 one line of watches has been the cornerstone of Tudor’s resurgence. That is the Black Bay.

First introduced as the Black Bay Heritage in 2012, the watch was an instant success thanks to its classic dive watch styling. The watch is inspired by its vintage counterparts. The case design, with its sharp chamfers, the large crown and lack of crown guards, a domed crystal, a simple aluminum bezel insert, classic snowflake hands and a clean dial all call upon different vintage references. But the watch has plenty of modern day touches too. Most notably the 41 mm case size, as well as the use of a sapphire crystal, and an in-house movement. It’s like Tudor created its very own “Best of” watch.

So, if you’ve decided this is the watch for you then you’ve got a little work to do in deciding which of the nearly 24 options to choose. In order to get started we’ve outlined a decision-making process for finding your ideal Black Bay.

Size
The first decision you need to make is size. And basically, you can think about it as “larger than 40 mm” or “smaller than 40 mm”.

Now most of the Black Bay Line, when it originally came out, was 41 mm. And I think that kind of hit the sweet spot in the current sport model lineup, but now they’re are 6 different sizes to choose from. And there’s a few caveats in making this decision. First, the Black Bay line has grown to feature watches with complications, but those are only available in watches over 40 mm. And second, the Black Bay line is generally considered a thicker watch, with the original coming in right over 14 mm and some models crossing 15 mm, so a 41mm Black Bay may wear larger than you think because of the thickness, but more on that later.

Tudor Style
If you decide to go less than 40 mm, you’re now basically looking at Style, and we can break that down into two pretty simple choices. Material and color. So, let’s start with material. Now when the Tudor Black Bay line started it was just stainless steel, but now you have the options of steel and gold, bronze, and even a matte PVD coating called Dark. So, they’ve really built out the line to have anything that you would ever want. If you want to go below 40 mm and stainless steel, then you’re down to three watches.

The Black Bay Fifty-Eight and the Black Bay 36 or Black Bay 32.
Before we jump into the details of these watches, we should mention the Black Bay 36 and 32 options both fall into what we’re going to call the “Smooth Bezel” Black Bay category. This line was released in 2016 and originally it was just the 36 mm option with a black dial. The smooth bezel black bays retain the dial, hands, and case design of the rest of the Black Bays. But where they differ is a flat sapphire crystal, the overall thickness of this category, which is right around 12 mm, and a non-in-house movement. And before people start to write them off because the movement isn’t in-house. It is still a heavily modified ETA movement AND has an added bonus because the dial retains the smiley text from the original Black Bays, which we think is a pretty nice touch. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

The Black Bay Fifty-Eight.
In my opinion, this is the most classic of all the Black Bays. The watch has a slight reduced case size, coming in at 39.7 mm, and at just under 12 mm thick. I feel like broken record, because I have said this so much, but these feels like a perfect modern interpretation of a vintage watch. The design paired with extensive use of gold colored indices, hands and markings warms up the watch and adds to the vintage flair.

But if that’s not your style, then you’re look at either the 36 or 32 mm Black Bay “Smooth Bezel”. And I should also mention the 32mm is probably geared more toward women or those with smaller wrists. Now, we’ve come this far so all that’s left to decide is color. Do you want a black or blue dial? And if it’s blue then you’re looking at the Black Bay “Smooth Bezel” 32 or 36 mm. If you want black, then you get to choose between the Black Bay Fifty-Eight or the Black Bay 36 or 32. Now say you want to stay under 40 mm, and you don’t want just stainless steel. Then your only option is the Black Bay “Smooth Bezel” in 36 or 32 mm in steel and gold. With this one you can pick between a black dial or a golden champagne colored dial. And these watches also come on a five-link style bracelet rather than the sportier oyster bracelet. If that’s what you’re into. Now that we’ve covered the Black Bays under 40 mm. Its time to tackle the bigger beast. The greater than 40 mm options. When deciding to go big you should first decide if you want a complication or not. If you want a complication, not including the occasional date. You have two options. The GMT complication and the Chronograph.

Black Bay Complications
Now the GMT option is only available in stainless steel and has the traditional Red/Blue GMT bezel with a black dial. If you prefer the Black Bay Chronograph, know it comes in three options. Stainless Steel, Steel and Gold, and Dark, which is a matte black PVD coated watch. So there’s definitely some variation in the Chronograph complication. Now, if you’re interested in a Black Bay greater than 40 mm, but you don’t want a complication, well it’s your lucky day because you have the most choices. So, let’s start with material. Greater than 40 mm, with no complication, in steel and gold gives us four options. The traditional Black Bay in 41 mm with either a black dial or the gold champagne dial. Or the Black Bay 41, which is the big brother to the black bay “Smooth Bezel” 36, and has the thinner case, flat sapphire crystal, and the ETA movement. And again, you get to choose between the black dial or the gold champagne dial. And remember, the steel and gold option on the Black Bay 41 does have that dressier 5-link bracelet. Or. you could go with an exotic material, and while not really “exotic”, there are two more Black Bay Classics worth mentioning.

The dark, which is that same matte PVD coating from the chronograph, it’s also available in the classic 41 mm Black Bay, and the Bronze, which is truly a separate beast. It is a 43 mm Bronze-aluminum alloy that patinas over time to become truly unique to the owner. Originally released in a brown “tropical-style” dial it now comes in a slate grey dial and bezel. And if you’re looking for a bigger watch that is truly a standout then this is the way to go.

And if you aren’t familiar with the P01 then I’ll give you a quick rundown. It’s the latest Black Bay, being released in 2019, and it was inspired by a 1960’s prototype presented to the US Navy. This thing is 42 mm of crazy, weird, probably not going to own vintage coolness. And this is not a watch I’d recommend to most people, but it sure is cool to see Tudor throw caution to the wind and release something so outlandish. I’d admire that.

So, assuming you’re not in the market for the P01 it comes down to whether you want the Black Bay Classic or the Black Bay “Smooth Bezel”. If you like the dive watch aesthetic, then go with the Black Bay Classic. But if you like the sleek design for the Black Bay “Smooth”, then go with the Black Bay 41, and we think the Blue dial is the best option.

Really, I think the choice comes down to. Do you want that classic Black Bay look? That’s what most of the line is built around. That unidirectional rotating bezel, that vintage dive look that inspired it all. And once you say yes to that, then it comes down to preference on color. You really can’t go wrong because I think a really cool factor that the Black Bay line thinks about is additional strap options. And that can make your watch seem so much different from strap to strap. And from the beginning this was something Tudor really cared about with this line. So, you can get really cool Tudor NATOs, really tight weave, really nicely made, cool color combinations, stripes, interesting patterns. Leather straps, a lot of bracelet options too. So, you can really build out your watch collection around one particular model. So find what you like, go after it, and know that you can always mix and match with different straps. So there you have it. All the Black Bays and a simple decision tree to help break down the numerous models. Let us know which Black Bay you like most and why.

Performance
These three modern fake Rolex Submariner watches have a lot in common. In addition to the color, they both have a 40mm round case and ceramic bezel.
