The replica Rolex Submariner first introduced green in 2003 and has since undergone three upgrades, significantly improving both materials and performance. A key reason the second-generation "Green Submariner" is considered a classic is the upgrade of the bezel material from anodized aluminum, used for many years, to ceramic, giving it greater wear and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, ceramic offers superior color reproduction and luster.
The second-generation "Green Submariner" uses a 40mm stainless steel case and is powered by the Rolex 3135 automatic movement. Compared to the earlier versions of the 32 series movement which suffered from slowness, the 3135 movement has stood the test of time in terms of both stability and reliability. It is considered by many enthusiasts to be the closest replica Rolex movement to "perfection." These factors contribute to the second-generation "Green Submariner's" status.
Tracing its origins, the first-generation Submariner, released in the 1950s, featured a black anodized aluminum bezel and a design without a date dial. In terms of heritage, the No-Date Submariner is undoubtedly the closest to the original design and best reflects the series' initial aesthetic.
The No-Date Submariner retains the stainless steel case with a black bezel. Combined with a symmetrical, minimalist black dial, it possesses an understated character, making it less likely to be a top choice for speculators. Even in an era of exorbitant price premiums for various replica watches uk, the No-Date Submariner maintains a relatively stable market, making it one of the more accessible Rolex dive watches, thus creating opportunities for true enthusiasts who want to purchase a Rolex dive watch at a reasonable price.
Unlike the highly recognizable two-tone or gold Submariners, the 18K white gold case, with its similar color to stainless steel and the current black dial, further weakens its distinctiveness, making it difficult to immediately identify as a precious metal watch. This is another reason for its less prominent presence.
To achieve 10,000-meter water resistance, the fake Rolex Deepsea Challenger uses an RLX titanium (grade 5 titanium) case and several patented technologies. Considering material strength, the case thickness reaches 23mm; and the 50mm diameter is a compromise made for this thickness. While its water resistance is unquestionable, for everyday use, I would still give it the "thick" designation.
My review is more based on practicality, heritage, and recognizability than on recommending a purchase. Due to space limitations, I cannot include all replica Rolex dive watches (including discontinued models and historical models), but have only selected a few representative ones.
