Buyer’s Guide: The AAA UK Perfect Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16570 Fake Watches— Making Sense Of The Different Versions

The Rolex Explorer II is a bit of a fan favorite. This is especially true of the reference 16570, which is part of the popular five-digit generation of Rolex sports replica watches for sale. Many — including me — admire it for its honest, tool-like qualities. It is from a time before everything went maxi and shiny. But today, I do not intend to wax poetic about it. Today, I want to outline the different versions that exist. If you are considering the 16570, you have a couple of choices to make. Let’s have a closer look.

With the 16570’s production spanning 1989–2011, it is one of the longer-lasting references in Rolex history. Early models still feature some distinctly “vintage” characteristics. Later ones can feel thoroughly modern. Some variations are particularly collectible and valued accordingly. Across the board, however, it really is just a matter of taste. The subtle differences will speak to different people in different ways.

Polar or black

The first choice you face is pretty obvious: will you go “polar” (white) or black? The black dial comes with white gold hands and applied indices. The polar version does too, but they are enameled in black for legibility against the white dial. The white dial and blackened hands are more atypical for Rolex and quite striking. This has resulted in slightly higher monetary values for the polar high quality fake Rolex Explorer II watches in comparison to the black.

I think the black version is a little under-appreciated in that sense. What you lose in quirkiness, you gain in subdued versatility. If you want to get that one perfect 1:1 replica watches, I think the black 16570 might serve you better.

Either way, you cannot really go wrong. I would recommend trying to find a dealer that has both on display. More than you can see in any pictures online, the whole vibe of the watch changes with the dial color. In my case, I went to buy a polar and left with a black version upon handling them side by side. I took pictures of both, and I still prefer the polar in the pictures. In real life, I leaned more toward the black one. Consider yourself warned.

Tritium, LumiNova, or Super-LumiNova

As you may have guessed from the production run (1989–2011), the 16570 went through three different lume eras. The first generation featured tritium. As you likely know, tritium has the propensity to change color over time. You may find examples that have turned beige, yellow, or brownish. These are highly desirable in the eyes of collectors. The aged tritium adds warmth and character to an otherwise rather clinical aesthetic. Tritium dials are marked “SWISS – T < 25” below the index at 6 o’clock.

You may have come across the term “Chicchi di mais” while browsing 16570s. This is Italian for “corn kernels”, and it refers to particularly yellow tritium. You will pay a premium for examples like this as they are rare and considered highly collectible. Polar tritium dials have a glossier finish than later (Super-)LumiNova ones. They are sometimes referred to as “porcelain” dials for their resemblance to the material. The term has not really caught on yet as it has in the Datejust and Daytona universes. The black dial of the 16570 always remained glossy.

Rolex copy watches wholesale switched to the color-stable, non-fading, and non-radioactive LumiNova in 1998. Dials with LumiNova are marked “Swiss” below the index at 6 o’clock. These are the so-called “Swiss only” 16570s. Only a year later — in 1999 — LumiNova made way for Super-LumiNova. The dials would be marked “Swiss Made” from then on. Note that the “Super” denotes lume produced in Switzerland rather than Japan.

Lug holes and end links for your 16570

The next two things to consider are whether you want drilled lug holes and solid (male) or folded (female) end links on the bracelet. Both changes were phased in between 2000 and 2003, so there was no hard transition. Earlier Swiss made replica Rolex 16570 Explorer II watches came with drilled lug holes. Rolex abandoned these throughout its entire catalog between 2000 and 2003. Some people prefer the convenience and/or the sporty look of drilled lug holes. Others prefer the sleek look of later cases.

The solid end links on the Oyster bracelet radically change the feel of your 16570. They really make the watch feel much more modern and less rattly. At the same time, being male end links, they do add to the overall length of the cheap UK super clone watches. If you have a smaller wrist, the older female end links might provide you with a better fit. On my 17cm (6.7″) wrist, both work just fine. If you prefer a more vintage look and feel, the folded end links are the way to go. It is also good to know that pre-1998 Explorer II 16570 bracelets come without a flip-lock on the clasp.

Within the transition period, you may find a combination of solid end links and drilled lug holes. Note that those end links do not feature cutouts for a spring-bar tool. If such an end link is accidentally fitted to a non-drilled case, it cannot be removed without destroying the end link. The non-drilled case should always feature end links with little cutouts for your spring-bar tool.

No more shaky hands from 2007 onwards

Up until 2007, all versions of the 16570 were fitted with the Rolex caliber 3185. This is a rock-solid flyer (or “true”) GMT movement with one little quirk — a shaky GMT hand. When you set the time, you will see the GMT hand wobble a bit. This does not harm the luxury replica watches at all, but it looks a little odd. And so, of course, Rolex would remedy it sooner or later.

In 2007, the brand introduced the new caliber 3186 to the Explorer II. With it, Rolex fixed the wobble and added a Parachrom hairspring for boosted resistance to magnetism, temperature changes, and shocks. The caliber update would be accompanied by the use of a laser-etched rehaut around the dial.

Of course, this last generation of the 16570 always came with the non-drilled case and solid end links on the Oyster bracelet.

In short — 16570 evolution

1989–1997: Tritium, glossy dials marked “SWISS – T < 25”

1998–1999: LumiNova, matte white and glossy black dials marked “SWISS”, flip-lock clasp

1999–2011: Super-LumiNova, matte white and glossy black dials marked “SWISS MADE”

2000–2003: Transition away from drilled lug holes and transition from folded to solid end links

2007: Parachrom hairspring, no more wobbling GMT hand, laser-etched rehaut

2011: End of production, introduction of ref. 216570

Picking the right 16570 for you

A lot of the above comes down to personal preference. It might also depend on what watches you already own and what role the 16570 would play in your collection. As a “one-watch collection” for daily wear, a post-2005 black version might work best. As part of a collection of interesting best Rolex fake watches, an early “Chicchi di mais” example might hit the spot.

In all honesty, all 16570s make for great daily drivers. Earlier examples are still considered modern Swiss movements Rolex replica watches. And if you look after them, they will outlast you. In daily life, however, you may attribute value to functioning lume or a more solid-feeling bracelet. Again, that is a personal consideration. I opted for a black example from 2004.

I was looking for a more modern partner to my 1967 Datejust ref. 1601, so solid end links and Super-LumiNova were desirable to me. I dislike the look of the etched rehaut, so I had to look for a pre-2007 sample. With those boundaries set, the choice was easy. Of course, availability, affordability, condition, correctness, and set content all come into play, but that is beyond the scope of this article.

It’s Time To Invest In A Dress Watch — Our Picks From UK Best Quality Replica Rolex And Cartier Watches

Back in the day, things were simple. You just bought one watch — a single timepiece that would do the job at all times. Today, even if you’re not a watch collector or enthusiast, you probably already own several high quality replica watches. And I don’t know about you, but my watch collection consists mainly of sports watches. However, there are occasions when a sports watch isn’t very appropriate, especially from a style perspective. In those instances, I will often choose one of my vintage cheap UK fake watches because they’re generally smaller (and thinner) and fitted with leather straps. Finding a nice, modern dress watch is difficult, especially with a limited budget. For this article, I asked the Fratello team to come up with their favorite dress replica watches for sale.

Investing in a nice dress watch is something you will not regret. Bringing your divers’ perfect copy watches to a formal occasion is like wearing a pair of Nike Air Max with your suit (take this with a grain of salt or two). It’s good to at least have the option to wear a more discrete watch once in a while. Now, I am also a firm believer that a dress watch should be gold. This may contradict being discrete, but you can also choose white gold or platinum. I don’t mind yellow or rose gold, as the diameter and thickness make it more discrete. However, there are no rules to this, so steel dress replica watches online will do as well for many of you.

Thor’s pick: Cartier Tank Louis Cartier Replica Watches in suave black

I’d be happy to lobby for a resurgence of dress-watch fashion. Sure, it might have something to do with my job not including much physical labor, but my love for small and light wristwear is big. And instead of a perennial love for ’60s cool, why not go timeless et française? Nothing says studied chic like a piece from luxury Cartier fake watches, and the Tank is the sleek daddy of all rectangular cool. Cartier’s raging success on the auction circuit proves my point, and so does this minimalist vision in sleek black.

My first choice would easily be the deep-space noir of the top replica Cartier Tank Louis Cartier watches, framed perfectly in yellow gold. As the brand’s namesake, the Tank Louis Cartier walks the fascinating line between classicism and sharp minimalism. It embraces modernity and will always look right. Whether it’s your go-to choice for the wedding fit or copying Jeff Goldblum’s look with boots and a black Prada jumpsuit, black and gold make for an astute finishing touch. You can get one for €13,300 / US$12,800 from Cartier.

Gerard’s pick: Rolex Day-Date ref. 1803 Fake Watches

Let me be clear: I usually don’t wear genuine dress watches. I don’t wear clothing that calls for dress watches, and I don’t find myself in situations where wearing a dress watch is appropriate. Having that out of the way, how could I choose a dress watch anyway? Well, some of the 2022 super clone watches in my collection come close. And although mainly vintage, even some modern watches might fit in here.

But as this article has another angle — investing in a dress watch — my choice wasn’t too difficult. It had to be a Rolex. Relatively speaking, vintage wholesale replica Rolex Day-Date watches are still not too expensive to acquire, specifically if you look for the head only. Some might see it more as a luxury sports watch, but I think a vintage Day-Date like mine from 1967 does the job as a dress watch quite well. When worn on a leather strap, it instantly becomes classy, and on a blue nubuck strap, it even looks joyful.

And you might not realize it, but swapping straps on vintage yellow gold Swiss movements fake Rolex Day-Date watches is so much fun. It blends perfectly with almost every color and strap material and adapts to almost any clothing style. Who would have thought of a Day-Date as a strap monster?

What 50MM Titanium Cheap Fake Rolex Deepsea Watches UK Really Mean

There’s been big talk surrounding the latest launch from Rolex, and for good reason. What was once a purely technical exercise is now a material offering. Something once regarded as the biggest Rolex flex — let’s drag best replica watches to the bottom of the Mariana Trench to show the world it can survive unscathed — is now landing in Rolex boutiques around the globe. This is huge for a number of reasons, and to only speak of its dramatic case dimensions would be a disservice to all involved.

Before anyone gets all up in arms over this release, take a deep breath. The days of large, oversized UK top fake watches is long gone, and this is not a move towards bringing that movement back. This is also not a case of Rolex being late to the punch on an old trend — Rolex marches to the beat of its own drum, and will continue to do so until the end of time. What this is, is still a technical showcase; this high quality replica watches was designed to show the world that not only could the brand build a watch capable of withstanding the pressures found 11,000 metres below sea level, but it could do so at a (relatively limited) mass production scale.

Consider this similar to an automotive brand building a one-off race car that demolishes the lap time of the famed Nürburgring race track, versus a brand building a road-legal production car capable of the same feat. Case in point, the new Mercedes-AMG One that slaughtered the aforementioned record last week. It’s one thing to be able to accomplish something like this with a tool built by an R&D department with unlimited assets. It’s another entirely to accomplish the same task with a sellable (and profitable) product.

So What Was The Point, Anyway?

The value behind this exercise by perfect Rolex copy watches is really two-fold when you look beyond the product itself. Yes, this reference will wind up on the few wrists of rather large gentlemen with the size to pull it off, but that’s not the point. What’s far more relevant to the future of Rolex — and specifically its tool Swiss movements replica watches — is the first ever use of a titanium case and bracelet. There’s been talk for ages about whether or not the brand would ever turn to the lightweight metal, and the Deepsea Challenge is finally the first instance we’ve been waiting for.

Of course, Rolex fake watches online store has developed its own titanium alloy known as RLX titanium. At time of publishing we are unclear as to how it compares to the typical grade 5 or grade 2 titanium seen elsewhere in the watch market, but no matter the composition its lightweight and durable nature are what matters. Given how niche this specific reference is, it’s incredibly unlikely that Rolex would develop a new alloy just for this one application, so the million dollar question now is where (and how quickly) we start seeing RLX titanium cases used for other existing product lines. A titanium Rolex Submariner? Yes, please.

Aside from the materials choice, the arrival of this 50mm monster also marks a directional change from luxury Rolex super clone watches. We’re talking about a brand that’s heavily anchored in legacy and tradition. A brand whose ethos has long been one of staying true to lineage, so to speak. This 2022 AAA replica Rolex Deepsea Challenge watches, alongside the recent left-handed GMT-Master II are both clear indicators that Rolex is more open to stepping outside the box than they’ve been in the past. While we’re not expecting to usher in an era of broad sweeping collection changes come 2023, we certainly believe to see them pushing more boundaries than they have in previous years.

Rolex Smashes Record For Highest Performance Dive Replica Watches Wholesale UK With 11,000M Deepsea Challenge

Rolex has reclaimed the title for the world’s highest performance production diving replica watches for sale with a gargantuan timepiece capable of withstanding underwater depths greater than anything present on Earth.

The 2022 Deepsea Challenge is the latest production version of the experimental fake watches UK online attached to the hull of the submersible piloted to the bottom of the Mariana Trench – the deepest point of the world’s oceans – by film director James Cameron in 2012.

The high quality replica watches is also the first all-titanium model from Rolex and, with this being Rolex, it’s described as RLX titanium rather than grade 5. It is rated water resistant to 11,000m or 36,090ft while Challenger Deep – the deepest point of the Mariana Trench – is 10,935m.

To test the best copy watches – adding in an extra 25% for good measure – Rolex turned to long-term partner diving partner, Comex, to develop “an ultra-high-pressure tank capable of reproducing a test pressure equivalent to that exerted by water at a depth of 13,750 metres”.

The giant 50mm perfect replica watches is 23mm thick, of which 9.5mm is sapphire crystal glass.

While the cheap fake watches’ case might be larger than life, its Calibre 3230 movement is already at the heart of the brand’s entry-level Oyster Perpetual models.

Rolex issued the Sea-Dweller Deepsea super clone watches for men – which is water resistant to 3,900m – to mark Cameron’s dive. Then, in 2022, Omega smashed the record with its 6,000m water resistant Planet Ocean Ultra Deep to mark its own involvement in Victor Vescovo’s Five Deeps series of dives.

The luxury replica Rolex Deepsea Challenge watches is out now via Rolex, priced $26,000 USD.
