The Old Model Replica Rolex Milgauss Watch


Christian already told you about the new Rolex Yacht-Master II and the new
GMT Master II.

The other Replica Rolex announcement at BaselWorld Rolex replica watch of interest is the old Rolex Milgauss, so named for its ability to resist a magnetic field of 1,000 Gauss.

Why should you care?

If you take a mechanical watch into a strong magnetic field, some of the parts in the movement become magnetized which causes problems; typically the watch will start to run quite fast and require demagnetization. The hairspring, made of an alloy called Nivarox, is particularly susceptible. A watch is normally considered "antimagnetic" (DIN 8309) if it can ignore 4,800 A/m. This works out to about 60 gauss, or 6% of what the new Rolex is rated for. Rolex Replica Watch Ladies Diamonds achieved the superior rating of the Milgauss by encasing the movement
in soft iron, which is known as a Faraday cage. The also introduced a new hairspring material, Parachrom-Blu,which is unaffected by magnetism. Quite an achievement!

The Milgauss model has an interesting history. It was introduced in 1954 for people who worked in environments with strong magnetic fields:power plants, research labs, etc. As you might suspect, that's a pretty small market, further crowded by the IWC Ingenieur, the Patek Philippe Amagnetic, and the Omega Railmaster, all of which had similar magnetic resistance. The Milgauss was the slowest seller in the Rolex lineup, and was sold for about 20 years before being removed from their catalog.

The Milgauss comes in the new, slightly larger case size of 40mm, with the 3131 movement. There are white and black dial versions available, both with a nifty and surprisingly modern lightning shaped second hand and 'ROLEXROLEXROLEX' around the face on the chapter ring. (As Christian noted, for better or worse, the new models are more heavily branded than their predecessors.) One difference between the two versions is that the black dial has a sapphire crystal that is slightly green at an angle, as you can see from the image gallery on their site. List price on both is rumored to be $5,900.

One word of caution: for the new model, replica Rolex daytona watches sale also lists "medical imaging" as a target market, but a bit of math reveals this to be disingenuous. Current MRI systems start at 0.3T and go up to 5T. Even the smallest of those is 3 times the rating of the Milgauss, so don't take your new watch into the MRI!

I used to work in a couple of physics labs, so I like seeing reintroduction like this. Nowadays, the IWC Ingenieur and Ball Engineer are the only competition for mechanical watches designed to function in strong magnetic fields. Compared to the competition, the Milgauss adds an elegant face, first-class movement,the unique second hand, and the green sapphire crystal. I've never considered a Rolex before, but if I do, it'll be the black-faced Milgauss.

The New Replica Rolex Sky-Dweller

Late last week, we showed you two new divers from Tudor and while they arguably stole the show from big-brother replica Rolex, that does not mean replica Rolex didn not come out and play at all. The big announcement from replica Rolex this year is the new Sky-Dweller which offers some fantastic technology but unfortunately wraps it up in a dial design that seems to have left Basel attendees rather cold. This new 42mm model comes in the three variations seen below and offers a technological first for replica Rolex, Rolex watch with both an annual calendar and dual timezones. I will do my best to explain these, but please see the included video as the visual is quite helpful. The annual calendar complication means the Sky-Dweller can account for how many days are in each month so, with the exception of leap years, the Sky-Dweller won’t need to have its date advanced for months with less than 31 days. Further more, the month itself is cleverly shown on the dial via an aperture at each hour marker (see photos, eight o'clock is a different color so the Sky-Dweller is indicating it is August), very cool as Submariner 2012 replica.


Submariner2012 Replica Online Store: The most visible feature on the Sky-Dweller is certainly the 24 hour wheel prominently displayed just off-center of the handset. This wheel is meant to display the reference time (time in your home timezone) while the handset is meant to show the local time. The hour hand is jump set so setting local time only involves moving the hour hand, not the entire hand set (this is faster and more accurate). This 2nd timezone complication seems to throw the familiar Datejust design off balance, making for a rather awkward dial design. While the Sky-Dweller's dual timezone feature may be quite practical, it certainly isn’t pretty.


The replica Sky-Dweller has one more trick up its sleeve Sky-Dweller is a bitter-sweet design from Replica Rolex. On one hand, you have a complex but practical movement that integrates multiple complications into a simplified and pusher-free user interface and replica Rolex should be celebrated for the technical design and its implementation. On the other hand, the Sky-Dweller is neither pretty or classic in terms of its visual design. It is essentially a large Datejust with a somewhat messy dial that may appeal to some well-heeled travelers.

The fact that replica Rolex is not making a steel version of the Sky-Dweller could make this new model something of a novelty but I also I think that it is indicative of Rolex’s slow-but-steady march away from their tool watch roots. Pricing has yet to be announced but given that a white gold 36mm Datejust (ref 116139) had a 2011 price of $20,500 USD, it’s safe to say that the Sky-Dweller, with its host of technical additions and improvements, will retail for far more. Only time will tell if buyers will accept the Sky-Dweller as a top tier offering from one of the world best known watch brands or if it will fail to find the same rabid fan-base that surrounds many of the marques more conservative models.

The New Replica Rolex Explorer II 216570



Just in time for the 40th anniversary of the 1655 Explorer II, replica Rolex has announced the new model which features a series of changes over the outgoing Explorer II. The new series (ref: 216570) is available with a black or white dial, features an all orange GMT hand, and houses the new 3187 replica Rolex calibre in a larger 42mm case (last gen was 39mm). Replica Rolex has made this new chronometer movement entirely in house and and it features some of their cutting edge technology including Paraflex shock absorbers and a non-magnetic Parachrom hairspring for excellent timekeeping and durability.

BaselWorld Rolex replica watch: This movement allows the GMT hand to be independently set apart from standard timekeeping and is read using the 24hr fixed bezel. The all orange GMT hand is noteworthy as it follows the style of the original Explorer II from 1971. The new 42mm case is made from 904L stainless steel which is standard on replica Rolex sport models and is matched with a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating and a cyclops for date magnification.

Water resistance is unchanged at 100m but replica Rolex has updated this new model with its signature chapter ring that repeats “rolex” around the circumference of the dial, this is really the only change we aren’t wild about as it is quite flashy for what once was a tool watch. The outgoing generation was due for an update and replica Rolex had teased the possibility of an all orange GMT hand on a future explorer at Basel 2010. We haven’t seen a price listed yet but it is expected to be a little higher than the $6325 USD that the outgoing model was listed at.

Replica Rolex's second announcement

Replica Rolex's second announcement this year at BaselWorld Rolex replica watch 2010 was a redesigned Explorer. I've always loved the Explorer for its unparalleled simplicity and stark elegance, but at only 36 millimeters, it was a tad bit diminutive by today's standards. Not anymore. The size of the new Explorer is much more in line with modern expectations, replica Rolex daytona watches sale.

Below is a list of everything that's new in the new replica Rolex Explorer:


39 millimeters rather than 36. That's only one millimeter smaller than their other tool watches (like the new Submariner Date). The movement now uses the new Parachrom Blue hairspring which we discussed previously in the context of the Rolex Milgauss. The now-standard signed chapter ring not my favorite new feature, but believe me, I wouldn't let it stop me from wearing one. Slightly redesigned dial: the word "EXPLORER" has been moved from the top where it used to be down to the bottom. Features that haven't changed:

COCS certified. Solid steel case and bracelet. Sapphire crystal. Screwdown crown. Water-resistant to 100 meters or 330 feet. No date (part of what it makes it so simple and beautiful).

The New Replica Rolex Submariner Date

Replica Rolex has finally introduced the long-awaited redesigned replica Rolex Submariner Date at BaselWorld 2010. It looks like the community is still digesting the changes and hasn't really come down on one side or the other yet, but I'm happy to go on record and admit to loving it. The Submariner has always been one of my favorite watches, and I think replica Rolex has actually managed to improve it significantly Submariner 2012 replica.

Here are the specs:



40mm case (no change in size, but the design is updated).
New ceramic bezel with platinum graduations. (Ceramic is much more scratch- and UV-resistant than the old anodized aluminum, however it's also much more expensive to replace.)

"Maxi dial" (meaning larger markers than the previous design as foreshadowed in the 50th Anniversary Edition).

Sapphire crystal with AR-coated cyclops magnifier over the date (no change).
Water-resistant to 300 meters or 1,000 feet (no change).
New Oyster bracelet with a Glidelock clasp similar to what's on the Sea-Dweller, Rolex deepsea challenge replica. This is a significant improvement over the older Oysterlock bracelet.

Same 3135 calibre movement, but with the addition of the Parachrom Blue hairspring which we've discussed before on the replica Rolex Milgauss.

Signed chapter ring (the ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX…. you see between the bezel and the dial).

BaselWorld Rolex replica watch: The new Submariner Date will also be available in green as pictured here.

The reports I'm seeing on price are somewhere in the neighborhood of $7,500, but that's just an early estimate (and seems a tad bit high to me — I'll post an update when I can get some confirmation).

The Replica Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary Edition


I can't tell you how many reviews of the replica Rolex Submariner can be found today on the internet. Indeed, there are dozens. So how does one write yet another review of such a classic and iconic watch? It's unlikely that I can provide any new information that can't already be found elsewhere online, but there is one thing I can relate that you won't find anywhere else: my personal experience with buying and owning a replica Rolex.

I'm an electrical engineer by trade. Because of my training, I've always been fascinated by replica Rolex watches. They represent an incredibly high standard in mechanical precision and accuracy. Many consider replica Rolex products to be among the finest in the world. Admittedly, just about any good quartz watch is going to be more accurate, but the same can be said for any mechanical watch. And the appeal of a fine watch isn't about accuracy, of course, but rather the combination of elegance, style, and engineering achievement. To some, a replica Rolex is merely a status symbol, but in my world, it represents all of the professional values to which I aspire: accuracy, precision, craftsmanship, and excellence.

For many years, I'd been planning this purchase. I wanted to buy a Submariner, but initially couldn't decide whether to buy one with the standard black bezel, or the Anniversary edition with the green bezel. I ultimately went with the green knowing that Submariner bezels are available in other colors color, so I later swapped the green bezel out for a black one. As you can see from the photo gallery, the results are striking.


Before we go any further, let's look at the specifications of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 50th Anniversary Submariner:

40 millimeter stainless steel case.

Screwdown "triplock" crown for some of the best water-resistance in the industry.

Stainless steel Oyster bracelet with solid end links and safety clasp.

Guaranteed water resistant to 300 meters, or 1,000 feet.

Rolex in-house 3135 automatic movement: 28,800 bph, hand-winding, and hacking.

Unidirectional ratcheting bezel: 120 positions, green anodized aluminum, luminous "pearl".

Deep black bezel with luminous markers and hands.
Iconic date "cyclops".

Scratch-proof synthetic sapphire crystal.

The replica Rolex Submariner is one of the most recognizable and sought-after watches in the world. Of course, iconic status is not without consequences. Due to the unfortunate proliferation of forgeries, Rolex watches are now manufactured with additional markings intended to discourage unauthorized copies and help identify an authentic product (more on this below). The new markings include laser-etched logos on the crystal and serial numbers on the case. The serial number etched between the lugs of my Submariner indicates that it was manufactured in late 2008.

The Big Question: Is a replica Rolex Watch "Worth It"?

The most common question from non-Rolex owners is why replica Rolex watches are so expensive. Are the worth it? I overlook the fact that some replica Rolexes are made of precious metals since the additional costs of gold or platinum are obvious. Minus precious metals, the labor cost is enormous for hand-making a watch with hundreds of parts, and for the COSC certification. Add to that the guarantee of water resistance to 1,000 feet and a finely machined and polished case of the highest grade of stainless steel available, and it's clear you're not dealing with your everyday timepiece. But ultimately the question of whether a watch is worth better than $5,000 is a personal one. Is the price worth it to you? Regardless of what it costs, if you appreciate beauty, balance, aesthetics, and craftsmanship in your watches, you will not be disappointed with a Submariner.

The two most notable differences between the Submariner and my other mechanical watches are accuracy and smoothness, particularly in the winding stem and in the movement of the second hand. The crown is smooth as silk and very easy to turn while winding the mainspring, and the second hand seems to glide in perfect velvety fashion around the dial without hesitating or surging. Additionally, the crown screws down absolutely perfectly which, if you've experienced a lot of other screw-down crowns, is not something to be taken lightly. No cross-threading or binding with a replica Rolex.

Achieving this kind of "velvety" smoothness is clearly a colossal effort. Virtually all components of replica Rolex watches are manufactured in-house, and the watches are hand-assembled by their own staff of professional watchmakers. In a world a mass-produced components and commodification, Rolex's holistic approach to watchmaking is becoming increasingly rare.

The accuracy of a replica Rolex is enhanced by the exacting process of COSC certification. Some owners report accuracy equal to or even better than quartz watches, although the goal of COSC certification is not this level of accuracy (for mechanical watches, COSC specifies a variance of -4/+6 seconds per day). Even greater accuracy can be achieved when the watch is carefully adjusted by a professional watchmaker and well maintained by the owner. Many aficionados recommend an overhaul every 5 years, costing between $300 and $500. This may seem expensive, but Rolexes can and will run well for decades if this is done regularly. An overhaul involves complete disassembly of the watch, replacement of worn parts, cleaning, lubrication, and, of course, all new rubber gaskets.

Replica Rolex daytona watches sale. Another way to look at the value of a replica Rolex is to count the number of watches you've had in your life, and figure out the number of watches you will have. If you purchase a Rolex, that number can very easily be one. It's completely feasible that a single well-maintained replica Rolex is the only watch you'll ever need. It can be worn while being active, works perfectly well with a suit, and even makes a great family heirloom. If you take good care of a Rolex, it will very likely live longer than you.

Even the box the watch comes in is worthy of mention. Of course, using the word "box" is a little absurd because it implies cardboard cheapness. The outer box is cardboard, but its job is merely to protect the solid wooden presentation inner box that encloses the watch. It is a thick, solid wooden case with a carved wave pattern on the lid. Inside is a pillowed suede surface that nestles your new prize. replica Rolex treats their products and their customers with the same respect that their customers have shown them by investing in the Rolex brand. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that replica Rolex watches represent an experience as much as a timepiece.

Although I wax eloquent, I can't ignore a few imperfections. After all, this was a pretty expensive item, and we all want value for our hard-earned money. So, here goes. My main issue with the Submariner is the bracelet. It seems a tad on the fragile side, tapering to a mere 16 millimeters at the clasp. The clasp is a little light in construction compared to the watch itself, and it soon became loose and developed a tendency to pop open on my wrist. I would prefer a sturdier clasp and a thicker bracelet — perhaps with less taper. The bracelet is something replica Rolex will likely change as the Submariner evolves. The bracelet on the new Rolex Sea-Dweller, Rolex deepsea challenge replica is one of the sturdiest and best designed dive bracelets we've ever seen.

Advice for Buying a replica Rolex

If you're thinking of buying a replica Rolex, the best piece of advice I can give you is "caveat emptor!" ("Buyer beware!") Do your research and know the product Submariner2012 Replica Online Store. If you're buying new, buy from a reputable authorized dealer, and you'll be perfectly fine. Buying used is trickier. Don't buy from anyone without a good, solid, verifiable reputation. If possible, meet in person, and to be extra sure your new watch is genuine, meet at either an authorized dealer or a watchmaker who can verify the authenticity before the deal is made.

Forgeries are extremely sophisticated nowadays and are virtually indistinguishable from an authentic to the untrained eye. The one dead giveaway is that the replica Rolex movement is unmistakably distinctive in design and appearance, and very difficult to duplicate accurately. A fake "watchmaker" usually won't bother because low-cost is
the objective, so they mostly use mass-produced movements that a trained watchmaker can easily spot.

Have Fun With It!

I have the anniversary edition of the Submariner 2012 replica which differs by the green bezel and larger dial markers (dubbed the "Maxi Dial"). I decided to buy a second black bezel and replace the green one, creating an anniversary edition with a more traditional look. I only wear it a couple of times per month because a replica Rolex doesn't fit my lifestyle for everyday use. I worry about attracting too much attention, and occasionally, the wrong kind of attention. But the most important thing is that when I wear it, I know it's on my wrist, and it's simply fun to enjoy such an incredible instrument which has earned so much respect over the years.

The Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller



Without a doubt, the replicaRolex Sea-Dweller is one of my favorite watches of all time. It represents everything I look for in a watch of this sort: simplicity, quality, functionality, and stark beauty.

The Sea-Dweller is one of the less common BaselWorld Rolex replica watch sport models. While the Submariner is produced in several combinations of materials and colors, there is only one Sea-Dweller. It is only available in all stainless steel, and only with a black dial and black bezel. Replica Rolex designed the Sea-Dweller purely as a dive tool — not a fashion accessory.

Features of the replica Rolex Sea-Dweller:

Guaranteed waterproof to 1,200 meters, or 4,000 feet (that's significantly higher than the 1,000 foot rating of the Submariner).

40mm stainless steel case which sits 14.5mm high.

Ultra-thick synthetic sapphire crystal.

Unidirectional rotating bezel with a corrosion resistant anodized aluminum insert.

No date magnifier. I don't mind the "cyclops" on my Explorer II, but I prefer the cleaner look of the Sea-Dweller.

Helium escape valve. Developed in cooperation with the French industrial diving company, Comex, the helium escape valve allows helium molecules to safely escape without popping the crystal off the watch during decompression (I told you this is a hardcore dive tool).

Dive extension. The dive extension on the Sea-Dweller is actually nothing to write home about, but it's sufficient. This is one of the biggest improvements of the new Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA.

Triplock screwdown crown. The Triplock system uses an additional rubber gasket (clearly visible when the crown is unscrewed) beyond the Twinlock system used on many other replica Rolex sport models like the old GMT Master II and the Explorer II. The crown threads beautifully, and feels incredibly robust and secure.
Quick-change and quick-set date. Quick-change means that the date changes over to the next day instantly almost exactly at midnight (as opposed to changing gradually over the course of several minutes before and after midnight). Quick-set means that you can set the date while the crown is pulled out to the second position rather than having to change the time in order to change the date.
Some other interesting facts about the replica Rolex Sea-Dweller, and Rolex in general:

The Sea-Dweller is the only replica Rolex with a date, but without the date magnifier. This accounts for a lot of its popularity as many people love Rolex watches, but aren't crazy about the "bubble".


The Sea-Dweller is the only replica Rolex with writing on the caseback. It says "ROLEX OYSTER" and "ORIGINAL ESCAPE VALVE". The new Sea-Dweller,Rolex deepsea challenge replica seems to take all this writing, and put it on the front of the watch, creating a much busier face.
The additional thickness of the Sea-Dweller's case beyond that of the Submariner is to accommodate the helium escape valve.

The bulbous shape of the hour hand which replica Rolex uses on many of their sport models allows it to be seen while directly under the minute hand. This may seem like an unnecessary detail, but it's actually a great, widely copied, and under appreciated design. It also makes the hour hand more easily distinguishable in low light.

This extraordinarily beautiful watch is being discontinued. It is being replaced by the admittedly interesting, but very different Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA. I can promise you that there will always be a market for the "old" Sea-Dwellers, however. They were classics even before being discontinued.

Most, if not all, modern replica Rolexes have the replica Rolex coronet etched on the inside of the crystal at the 6 o'clock position. If you're buying from anyone other than an authorized retailer, make sure you can see the etching before you buy it.


Replica Rolex is one of the few remaining high quality Swiss made replica watchmakers who still makes their own movements. Most brands purchase either movements, or movement kits, from companies like ETA. Rolex, however, designs and builds everything but a few oils themselves.

Replica Rolex is a privately held company which donates a great deal of it's profits to charity. I think of replica Rolex as the Robin Hood of the watch world: take from those who can afford it, and give to those who cannot.
