Another James Bond Watch – Replica Rolex Vintage Submariner 6538

The initial James Bond timepiece I showcased here is the Omega Spectre 007, which has proven to be highly successful, generating a considerable number of orders. The Seamaster Spectre 007 has consistently ranked among Omega’s top sellers over the past decade. Its popularity can be attributed not only to its vintage military aesthetic but also to the fact that it is accompanied by both a NATO strap and a steel bracelet.

Now, let me introduce another iconic James Bond watch: the Rolex Submariner, Reference 6538. This vintage Submariner has garnered recognition as the first watch worn by James Bond, according to numerous enthusiasts. Consequently, a debated question arises regarding the authenticity of the James Bond watch between Omega and Rolex Submariner. While opinions differ, I personally lean towards the belief that the Rolex Submariner holds the distinction of being the inaugural timepiece worn by James Bond in the 007 movies.

The vintage Submariner 6538 exhibits several distinctions from its modern counterpart. Firstly, there is a difference in size. The replica watch has replica 6538 boasts a case diameter of only 38mm, a departure from the larger dimensions of contemporary Submariners. The case is entirely brushed, including both sides, which, in contrast, are typically mirror-polished on modern Submariners.

The black bezel insert features white markers exclusively, and the bezel pearl is outlined with a silver round edge. One of the most noticeable features distinguishing this vintage Submariner is its crown. It is a sizable big-crown Submariner, adorned with the Rolex Crown Logo on the face. Beneath the crown logo, the inscription reads “BREVET” rather than “ROLEX.” This unique characteristic sets the vintage Submariner apart from other models.

An additional distinctive trait common to many vintage Rolex watches, including the Submariner 6538, is the adoption of a domed plexi plastic crystal face. This design choice adds to the overall vintage aesthetic of the timepiece.

The replica big crown 6538 Submariner is equipped with an Asian ETA 2836-2 movement, which is modified from a Chinese Sea-Gull automatic movement. Many readers who have sent me inquiries asked to equip real Swiss ETA movement in their watches, the truth is that some replica watches could be equipped with real Swiss ETA calibre, but some vintage Rolex like this one is not able to be installed.

Replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41mm 124300 with Clone 3230 Movement

It’s been a while since we’ve seen any new watch releases here, but today, I’m excited to introduce a Rolex Oyster Perpetual model. This particular model was actually unveiled by the GM factory a few months back, and it’s still enjoying immense popularity in the market. Whether you’re looking for the Oyster Perpetual 114300 or 124300, both have garnered a strong following since their introduction.

When it comes to Rolex Oyster Perpetual replicas, you have the choice of three different sizes: 31mm, 36mm, and 41mm. The 31mm variant is designed for women, while the 36mm and 41mm options are more prevalent in our market. Three primary factories are responsible for producing these replicas, namely BP, EW, and GM. Among these factories, GM stands out as the producer of the highest-quality replica watches. This particular silver Oyster Perpetual 124300 replica is a prime example of GM’s craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The watch boasts a substantial 41mm case diameter, perfectly in line with the current trend favoring larger timepieces. This size is favored by many, aligning with the contemporary watch preferences. Notably, the case is a mere 12mm in thickness, striking a balance between size and wearability. Crafted from genuine 904L stainless steel, the replica watch closely mirrors the weight of an authentic timepiece. It showcases a brushed finish on the case, creating a pleasing contrast with the mirror-polished, smoothly rounded bezel.

The silver dial features luminescent coatings on each hour marker, as well as the hour and minute hands, ensuring strong and visible lume in low-light conditions. The sun-ray finish on the silver dial is masterfully executed, resembling the genuine watch’s dial. The crystal above the dial is composed of authentic sapphire, matching the thickness of the genuine article, and it sits at the same height above the bezel as found on a genuine watch.

There are several dial color options in this Oyster Perpetual model, I think this silver one looks more classic. By the way, the replica uses a quality clone 3230 automatic movement, open the solid case back, you will see the movement and its decoration on the movement plates and auto rotor, which looks exactly the same as genuine Rolex 3230 Calibre. Oyster Perpetual 124300 is really an ideal watch for people who love Rolex but do not want to spend too much at first.

APS Factory Daytona available now

On June 19th, the APS factory made an exciting announcement regarding the upcoming release of the Panda Daytona in black and white variants. These two Daytona models have now hit the market. The burning question on everyone’s mind is, what is the quality like, and is it a worthwhile purchase? To form a definitive judgment, I believe patience is key. It’s important to remember that these models have just been introduced, and as of yet, no comprehensive reviews are available. We remain uncertain whether they match or even surpass the offerings from Clean. Only time will reveal the answers we seek.

Before APS, you could get a super clone 4130 Daytona from Clean, BT, King, and New Noob, the Daytonas from these four factories are using Dandong 4130, which is considered to be the best clone 4130 movement in replica watch market. However, although facing the four choices, people are still willing to choose the Daytona made by Clean, this leads a result that their Daytonas immediately sold out once Clean publishes them to the market, now in the market, if you want a quick order, you need to pay extra money to get one Panda Daytona from somebody because Clean does not have it in stock.

Back to this replica Daytona made by APS factory, will they beat Clean and occupy the entire market ? I do not think so. I got the two watches and have compared them with the Daytona made by Clean, I found that APS version is not better than Clean, some details such as the dial printing is even worse than Clean Daytona. About the movement, APS factory uses Shanghai Jinghe 4130 movement, about Shanghai Jinghe Factory, it is also a big movement factory in China just like Dandong and Sea-gull, Shanghai Jinghe made the 3120 and 4302 movement(used in AP) as well as 240 movement(used in Patek) before, this is the first time for their 4130 movement to be used in replica Daytona, its stability and accuracy still need to be tested, I trust its accuracy, but can its stability be compared with that of Dandong 4130? Dandong 4130 movement is very stable, Clean factory sold thousands pieces of Daytonas and they received no complaints about this movement. While this Shanghai 4130 needs to be tested first, I see there is little difference between them, check the last two pictures, the first is Shanghai 4130, the second is Dandong 4130. Anyway, I do not suggest you buy this Daytona from APS at this point.

Another Look at Rolex’s Latest and Most Colorful Oyster Perpetual

At Watches and Wonders this year, Rolex embraced colorful experimentation, notably with the latest Oyster Perpetual model. The classic design now boasts a creative dial adorned with vividly colored circles set against a light turquoise backdrop. Despite the vibrant dial, the watch is available in three diameters, offering a versatile range of sizes, with a 10mm difference between the smallest and largest options. This blend of bold design and versatile sizing is a hallmark of the Oyster Perpetual’s unique appeal.

As expected from the Oyster Perpetual, the case is crafted from replica Rolex’s proprietary Oystersteel, renowned for its corrosion resistance and durability against unexpected wear and tear. This vibrant design is offered in three diameters: 31mm, 36mm, and 41mm, providing flexibility in size and style options. All three size variations feature a sleek, polished bezel and are paired with an Oyster bracelet. The bracelet’s three-piece link design is a distinctive Rolex signature and is equipped with a secure folding “Oysterclasp” to prevent accidental opening.

While the exterior of the watch maintains the replica classic Oyster Perpetual silhouette, the dial is where things take an exciting turn. The predominant dial color is a gentle turquoise blue, adorned with sporadic patterns of candy pink, turquoise blue, yellow, coral red, and green circles, each outlined in black. These vibrant bubble-like patterns reintroduce the five lively colors that Rolex introduced to its Oyster Perpetual collection in 2020, offering a nod to the recent past with a reimagined and lively composition.

Rolex Day-Date from GS Factory

Several months ago, GM announced their V2 edition of Rolex Day-Date 40mm, which is heavier than the V1 and closer to genuine in weight, just about one month ago, GS factory also published this type of Rolex Day-Date with similar weight to genuine, it is the first time for GS factory to make 40mm Rolex Day-Date, they only made ladies Datejust before, I do not know why they started to make the Day-Date, perhaps they saw the big profit which GM factory has earned from the better V2 Rolex Day-Date, now both factories form a direct competition, maybe you will ask me which one is better, I will tell you both have a similar quality, but I still suggest you buy from GM factory, because it is one of the earliest watch manufacturers to make the best replica Day-Date.

There are two movement options for the Day-Date, one is 2836, the other is 3255, it is said that the weight of the replica with 2836 movement is about 10 grams heavier than the one with 3255 movement. The other details such as case material, bracelet material and finish are the same.

This Rolex Day-Date in the pictures is made by GS factory, its dial looks cracked, actually it is not, the dial is actually made with special stone, I do not know how to call it, the hour markers are set with diamonds, there are correct engravings on inner bezel, which is also engraved with serial number at 6 o’clock. So, if you are going to buy a box with this Rolex, you need to tell your dealer to type the correct model number and serial number on the Rolex card, or it will be meaningless to pay extra to get an original box.

Both GM and GS provide a lot of Rolex Day-Date replica watches made with 904L stainless steel, some are plated with yellow gold, some are with rose gold, the dial colors also vary, almost all genuine Day-Date models on Rolex’s official website can be found with replicas in the GM or GS’s collection. I know you concern if the replica has two important features, one is the laser crown logo in the crystal at 6 o’clock, the other is the precious metal logo and symbols on the the lugs, both genuine features can be found on the replica, by the way, if you choose the replica with a 3255 movement, then the adjusting of time, day and date will be the same as genuine watch.
