Outstanding and Rarest Rolex Submariner Among all the Other Models
The world’s most iconic dive replica watches were fairly tumble, with several references launched and then retired fast in favor of those with newly updated characteristics. This leaves us with some Submariner models manufactured in little more than the handful, which have caused them to become greatly desirable and sought after by collectors. The replica rolex Submariner fake watch is one such example.
The winding crown itself is the 6mm version, compared with the 8mm crown on the ‘James Bond’ model. It is this feature that gives the later watch a 200m depth rating to the 6536’s 100m.
What’s more, the difference in crown size and water resistance, the two models are almost identical. In fact, the case backs of the earliest models of the ref. 6536 are actually stamped ‘6538’, scratched through and then the correct number engraved underneath.
The first wave these two watches were released with the same dial which, however, did not include the name ‘Submariner’ or the depth rating on it anywhere. A tiny number of 6536 editions, estimated at no more than 10 examples, later came with the maximum depth written in red; and if you come across one, grab it!
Rarely, as in you could count them on one hand, are the Explorer dial versions. Whereas a large number of these pieces came with the same mix of round indexes and stick batons with the inverted triangle at 12 that the Sub still features today, there are one or two specimens still out there with the Arabic 3-6-9 markings of the Explorer. You can probably guess how valuable these particular pieces are.
Both dial variations, the ultra-rare Explorer and the regular but still ridiculously scarce gilt dial, came with the same Mercedes-style hands that first joined the rolex Submariner. The very earliest models retained the longer types, with a minutes-hand that overlapped the dial’s outer chapter ring, before being shortened at some point during the production cycle.
Formally recognized or not, the Cal. 1030 was still a formidable performer, the first bi-directional automatic winding movement fake Rolex had made. It was adjusted to five positions by the brand with a frequency of 18,000vph and boasting a blue steel hairspring with a Breguet overcoil, the same as it would have been to gain the Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute certification.
The Sub is certainly the most influential replica watch ever made, and tracing its lineage back through these ultra-rare examples is a captivating journey.
