Comparison of Rolex Batman vs. Rolex Hulk

A large number of Rolex watches have gained amazing nicknames since their launch, and among the various names ranging from athlete to soda flavors, there are many superhero nicknames, namely Batman and the Hulk. The Rolex GMT-Master II “Batman” and the Rolex Submariner “Hulk” with its blue and black ceramic bezel insert are the most famous Rolex replica watches with nicknames, but they are two completely different models – the Submariner is the diver’s watch and the GMT-Master II is the pilot/traveler’s watch. Which one is better?
Both Rolex watches have colorful design suites and all-steel construction, but they are actually not the same in terms of function. In addition, the Submariner Hulk is often seen as rather polarizing because of its bright green dial and bezel, while the Batman is arguably more versatile due to its more tonal colors. Today, we will explore this topic further by putting Batman and Hulk head to head in an attempt to answer the question of which superhero’s Rolex sports watch reigns supreme.
Both Batman and Hulk have 40mm stainless steel cases, rotating bezels, similar dial design with Mercedes-inspired hands, date indications, and luminescent hour-marker charts. Both come with sapphire crystals and the familiar Cyclops magnifying glass on the date window.
Of course, since these fake rolex watches offer different functions, they also run on different movements. The Hulk Submariner is powered by the Caliber 3135, while the Batman GMT-Master II depends on the Caliber 3186 or the Caliber 3285, of which the newer Cal. 3285 offers a longer 70-hour power reserve. What’s more, although both models are equipped with a Triplock screw-down winding crown, the Submariner is water-resistant to 300 meters, however, the GMT-Master II is water-resistant to 100 meters.
Heading on to the strap, the Hulk watch comes with a three-link Oyster strap with a brushed finish and a Glidelock buckle that allows the diver to lengthen the strap to 20mm in 2mm increments to fit the diving suit. The first Rolex Batman 116710BLNR was only available on Oyster straps with polished center links; however, the Batman 126710BLNR was initially available only on five-link Jubilee straps, but was later available on three-link Oyster straps as well. The Oyster clasp differs from the Hulk in that it uses the 5 mm Easylink extension system rather than the 20 mm diver’s Glidelock clasp.
However, the Hulk is a dive watch, which means its bezel can only rotate in one direction and it is graduated to 60 minutes to track immersion time. On the other hand, the Batman is a GMT watch. As such, its bezel rotates in both directions and is marked with 24 hours to show the time in another time zone.

2021 Great Rolex Submariner Blue Sunburst Dial

Rolex Submariner Blue Sunburst Dial

The Rolex Submariner ref. 116613LB “Bluesy” is one of the brand’s most striking modern sports watches, featuring yellow gold, stainless steel, blue ceramic, and a matching rising sun blue dial. By no stretch of the imagination is the two-tone Submariner an understated watch – but pair it with a bright blue Cerachrom bezel and a blue dial that dances in the light, and you get a striking watch.
However, did you hear that the Submariner 116613LB doesn’t always feature a Rising Sun Blue dial? Learn when and why fake Rolex made this change and other key information about the replica watch by reading our handy guide to the Submariner 116613 with a blue sunburst dial.
The Submariner 116613LB is housed in a 904L stainless steel and 18K yellow gold Oyster case with a diameter of 40mm. While the previous Submariner ref. 16613LB also had a 40mm case size, this new watch is significantly larger on the wrist thanks to its “super case” silhouette of larger lugs, wider bezel, and thicker crown protection. In addition, the noticeably larger luminescent dots on the blue dial and the smooth surface of the blue Cerachrom ceramic bezel emphasize the bolder style of the Submariner 116613LB.   
Although the Submariner is a very stylish luxury watch, it remains true to its dive watch function, offering a water resistance rating of 300 meters and a highly luminous dial. Similar to all modern submarines, the number 116613 has a unidirectional 60-minute marker bezel to prevent underestimation of dive time. Since this is a two-tone submarine, the markers on the bezel appear in yellow gold to match the other yellow gold elements of the watch.
As you may or may not already know, Rolesor is the name Rolex has given to its watches that combine gold and steel. And the two-tone Rolex replica watch in yellow gold and stainless steel is called the Yellow Rolesor. The yellow Rolesor Submariner watch with Cerachrom bezel introduced in 2009 is reference number 116613 and like all previous two-tone Submariners, it is available in either black or blue.
While all Submariner 116613LB fake watches have blue dials, the earliest examples of these “blued” Submariners are not iridescent in hue like the sunburst dial of the previous reference number 16613. Rolex chose a flat blue color to match the shade of the blue Cerachrom bezel. However, after a mixed public response, Rolex switched back to the traditional sunburst style dial within a few short years of production. As of 2013, the Rolex Submariner 116613LB has a sunburst blue dial instead of the original flat blue dial.

A Guide to the Collectible Rolex Submariner

When it comes to the Rolex Submariner, there are many color options. On the one hand, there is the classic black for the minimalist. At the same time, there is a two-tone version for those who want to stand out. And for those in the middle, who want to deviate from the usual black without drawing too much attention to themselves, there is the Rolex Kermit.
Like its namesake, the replica Rolex Kermit comes with a bright green bezel and a black dial. While it’s not as popular as other colorways, the Kermit has an interesting story behind it. Find out what made Rolex go with the green colorway below. Replica Rolex Cellini watches
Diving watches became a craze in the 1950s, and Rolex was, of course, one of the biggest brands involved in the competition. Thus, the development of the Rolex Submariner began in 1953 which included a daring publicity stunt with the Swiss explorer Auguste Piccard. Legend has it that Piccard dived to 3,131.8 meters with his Bathyscaphe submarine while wearing a specially designed Rolex.
Thereafter, the Rolex Submariner was launched in 1954, and although it was not the same watch as the one used by Picard, it was heavily inspired by it. There is no doubt that the Rolex Submariner became an immediate fan favorite. In fact, it is one of Rolex’s famous models. With that, Rolex started to release different colorways of the Submariner, and the fake Rolex Kermit is one of them.
The brand keeps it simple with only three main collections, each with sub-collections worth exploring. But for ease of understanding, you just need to keep in mind the vintage, instrument, and experimental collections from Bell and Ross. You probably already have an idea of what each collection is about, so, without further ado, let’s take a closer look!
The Vintage collection by Bell & Ross pays tribute to the classic military watches that revolutionized the watchmaking industry. The Vintage collection has three main designs: the BR V1, with its typical 3-hand design, and the BR V2 and BR V3, both of which are chronographs.
The BR 05 has a more octagonal rather than a square shape. Due to the very rounded edges of the square dial, the case ends up looking more like an octagon. However, other than that, the design of the BR 05 remains almost similar to that of the BR 01 and BR 03. Its watch is offered in various design options, including a chronograph function, as well as a skeleton dial. It also comes with a special gold collection in various colors that complement the – you guessed it – gold dial and bracelet.
Final Thoughts
Although its collections are more focused than other watch brands, as a brand, Bell & Ross does have a lot to unpack. The specificity of its timepieces is not the only thing that can point out why the brand has become a favorite among collectors. They certainly design their timepieces with professionals in mind and rely on the durability and functionality of their best replica watches rather than any marketing strategy. It’s never too early to say that Bell & Ross is now a modern classic that many collectors are investing in. With the innovations that the brand is presenting to its customers, it is easy to say that the only way forward for this brand is up.

The Rolex Daytona “Leopard” Is so Loud It Roars

The Rolex Daytona ref. 116598 SACO debuted in 2004, which is about 15 years too early. I say this because I think if the Daytona Leopard had debuted in the “influencer” era of Instagram, it would have found a more appreciative audience than the “ugliest Rolex” it is often labeled. 
For reference, the green bezel of the 2003 “Kermit” Submarine was initially criticized for being too bright, colorful, and ostentatious. When the leopard-print Daytona appeared the following year, many collectors were caught completely off guard and didn’t know what to make of this ultra-luxurious and completely unconventional fake Rolex watch.
What is clear is that the Daytona Leopard is certainly not for everyone – it takes a very confident guy or gal to pull off the look. I admire them for doing so. While it retains the familiar 40mm yellow gold Daytona case and features the in-house 4130 movements, there are no other standards here.
First, there’s the leopard-print dial and leopard-print strap combination, which is just crazy. The dial has 10 gold-encircled diamond hour markers and is accented with gold arabesque minute markers at 15, 30, and 45. If we forget for a moment that this is a Daytona, the three gold sunken subdials remind us that this is indeed a Rolex chronograph.
Whatever your opinion of the look of a gem-set Rolex watch, the company is known for employing some of the best master jewelers and gem-setters in the business and using only the finest stones. Sourcing, cutting, and setting three dozen sapphires of the same color is no easy task.
Whether vintage, retro, or modern, the replica Rolex Daytona Chronograph is one of the most popular watches in the world. Occasionally, Rolex likes to shake things up by adding massive gem-set models and flashy designs. If you like rarities, it is important to mention that these Daytona models were produced in very limited numbers and are very hard to find.
Animal prints are proving to be the biggest fashion trend of the year. So maybe the now-discontinued leopard print Daytona is actually the most fashionable luxury watch out there right now, but not enough people know that – yet.

Latest Rolex Datejust For 2021 Watches and Wonders

Amid the fanfare of “Watches and Wonders” and the clamor for the latest stainless steel Patek Philippe Nautilus, Rolex has quietly done what Rolex does very, very well. Yes, there are calls for more from the brand we know and love, but when does the crown seem to listen to the masses? Rolex is a secretive watch brand, which is one of the reasons it is the most recognized watch brand in the world. Its inner workings are so mysterious that everything the brand does, whether it feels radical or radically safe, is done with the kind of bravado we all wish we had.
While the main focus is on the release of the yellow fake Rolex Explorer 2021 model, the barely perceptible update to the Explorer II, and the simply sensational meteorite dial Daytona on the Oysterflex strap, the hero of the industry, Rolex Datejust got some new references that are well worth discussing. 
It’s clear that Rolex gets more praise than most brands. Many are very deserving, but some feel like smoke. However, again, the brand has come under fire from all sides for almost everything. Rolex is constantly criticized for being too conservative and taking itself too seriously.
Now, in a strange and unexpected way, Rolex has once again shown its willingness to push the envelope. No, it’s not as exciting as a new model, and, yes, the palm motif is printed, not hand/laser engraved or applied, but it’s completely different from anything else in our current men’s collection. It’s flashy, yes, but quite serene. These models certainly won’t be for everyone, but if they don’t become hot sellers, it at least means that those who like them should be able to buy them from an authorized dealer sometime in the near future.
However, the controversial palm dial isn’t the only release we’ve seen this year, oh no. A charming yellow Rolesor Datejust has emerged with an intriguing fluted dial. This watch (also 126233) has a future classic look. Like the other three models, it measures 36 mm and looks even better. This brilliantly versatile size is both classic and modern. The dial looks like something you’ve seen on the set of Goodfellas or Pulp Fiction before, but it’s not. It’s brand new. And it looks amazing. If only it came in blue…
Surprise! It does! Although replica Rolex neglected to mention it in the press release, there is a blue fluted dial option. It is available in either a white Rolesor or Oystersteel case. This is a very good option and not at all what one would expect. Is it wild? No, but it is a wildcard option for the best new Rolex offering this year.

Why Is It So Hard to Find the Rolex Daytona?

Haven’t you heard? The Rolex Daytona is one of the most popular watches in the world. So much so that collectors will gladly sign up and wait years for the chance to get their hands on a brand new watch. But where does all this demand come from? Partly because of the watch’s rich and storied history, a demand that is exacerbated by the relatively limited production run.  
The reason why the Rolex Daytona is so hard to find is that it was produced in relatively limited numbers. In the beginning, the watch was not popular at all, so the production numbers were naturally low. However, once the Daytona became popular, it was in Rolex’s best interest to keep the production numbers of this luxury sports watch low in order to maintain its high demand. Furthermore, because Daytona uses a more complex movement than most other watches in the brand’s catalog, Rolex had to increase production because Daytona’s movement is not shared with other watches. However, to understand this history, we have to go back a bit.
Named after the famous Florida race track to help appeal to American audiences, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona was actually mostly scoffed at in its early days because its dial was defined by three contrasting sub-dials. It wasn’t until the famous actor and race car driver Paul Newman wore the watch that it was considered cool and desirable. While it is now easily one of the hottest watches in the world, the world will only accept it if a Hollywood heavyweight wears it.
Paul Newman’s endorsement has made the Daytona so much more famous than replica Rolex could have ever imagined that it is not clear what the fate of this previously unpopular watch would have been without his endorsement. Newman’s endorsement has also made this first generation of Daytona watches highly collectible today. In fact, these “exotic” or “Paul Newman” dials are among the most collectible Daytona watches in the world. However, because this Art Deco style dial was so unpopular during production, only a small number of them were initially produced and many owners even replaced these dials with standard ones, further reducing the number of survivors today.  Rolex Daytona replica
It is important to note that Rolex never officially announced its production numbers, but we do know that over the next two generations of Daytona watches, Rolex continued to keep these production numbers relatively low compared to other models. We also found that, in general, stainless steel Daytona reference watches were produced in higher numbers than precious metal watches, which makes these ultra-luxurious sports watches even less common today.
These relatively low production numbers are linked to the multi-year waiting list for the Rolex Daytona. Here’s how it works. When Rolex replica sends Daytona watches to retail stores and authorized dealers, those retailers don’t just put the Daytona in the window and wait for someone to walk in and buy it. Retailers usually have a long list of customers to whom they have said, “Hey, I want a Daytona. when you get one in, call me.” If you’re lucky and you have a good relationship with that retailer, it may be easier to get a priority spot on that waiting list. Otherwise, you’ll have to put your name down and wait for your dealer to get one in and offer it to you – which can take many years.
What are the reasons people are willing to sit on these long waiting lists? The Price. While you may spend years on a waiting list, if you do end up with one, it will cost you far less than what you would pay on the open market for one immediately, without the wait. For reference, the modern stainless steel and Cerachrom Rolex Daytona retails for just $13,150, but on the secondary market, it trades for about twice that price.
Another great advantage of buying a fake Rolex Daytona is that not only will this watch last you a lifetime, but it will definitely go up in price over time. Let’s take a tangible example, stainless steel and ceramic Daytona that sold for $13,000 in 2019 is now selling for over $25,000. So if you can get on the waiting list for a new Daytona, it’s one of the best Rolex investments you can make. But why are the prices so high? Well, collectors value being able to get their hands on a current production Daytona without having to wait years. This ultra-desirable watch is in such high demand that collectors will pay significantly more than the retail price to make sure they actually get one.
However, pre-owned Rolex Daytona watches are also a very valuable investment. The second generation of fake Rolex Daytona models are revered for their Zenith-based automatic movements and today hold incredible cult status among collectors. These watches were produced for only 12 years from 1988 to 2000, which means that not all of these reference models have reached “vintage” status (many consider them to be around 25-30 years old). Nonetheless, these watches have been shown to not only hold a high value but to be increasing in value, with many now worth tens of thousands of dollars. And as these watches continue to increase in age, based on the current performance of vintage models, we can expect their value to increase as well.

Eternal Rolex Submarines in 2021

Often, a Submarine is the first port of call for anyone starting a journey into the Rolex collection. In fact, the submarine is often the first reason the journey begins. So how much will you need to spend?
The good news is that it may be less than you think. The ballpark figure for the entry point is around $7,500 to $8,000. To that end, you’ll likely find a reference example. Reference 16610, a superb pre-case watch with the most modern attributes, a flawless internal mechanism, and the most recognizable shape that horology can offer.
So is it lucky enough to have an absolutely massive amount of money to splurge? Don’t worry, there are plenty of options for the high-end Submariner as well. Some of the earliest vintage reference watches are very rare and therefore ridiculously expensive.
The first big crown Submariner, Ref. 6200, is better known among fanatics. 6200, better known among fanatics as the King Sub, was produced in less than a year and only about 300 pieces were reportedly made. More unusually, the 3/6/9 hour markers on the dial are more commonly found on replica Rolex Explorers. The last time it was sold was in 2017, when it changed hands at auction for $589,000.
Fortunately, between these two extremes, there is a model to fit almost every pocket. The two-tone Rolesor pieces remain very popular, each with a choice of black or blue dials and bezels. For a typical 1980s look, “Serti” dials are sometimes mounted on these models and on all-gold watches with jeweled indexes. These watches can also be purchased at surprisingly realistic prices, starting at around $10,000.
It is almost unbelievable to think that a timepiece that was originally designed as an underwater timekeeper created specifically for the up-and-coming casual diving crown has evolved into the most famous and recognizable luxury watch in the world. Yet the core design of the fake Rolex Submariner is so versatile and so successful that this dramatic evolution seems entirely appropriate, if not almost expected.
Hence, we have the history of the Rolex Submariner. Obviously, there is much more to this watch than a single article, and we encourage you to search our many blog posts on the subject to learn all about it.

Panerai Launches New Limited-Edition Items

Panerai has announced that it will launch two new timepieces this fall, each in limited editions. One is available exclusively through Panerai’s e-commerce platform; the other introduces new composite material on the dial. Read on to find out more about the Submersible Azzurro – 42 MM and the Luminor Luna Rossa GMT – 42 MM. watches
The ‘Azzurro’ in the replica Panerai Submersible Azzuro – 42 MM refers to its most intriguing element – the matte blue ceramic ring with graduated diving scale, mounted in a unidirectional ratchet bezel. The cushion-shaped case is made of AISI 316L steel with a satin-brushed finish and has a diameter of 42mm. The familiar locking crown protection on the right side of the case and the screw-down steel case back ensure water resistance to 300 meters.
Another new model, limited to 240 pieces, is the latest result of Panerai’s partnership with the Italian Luna Rossa team, the challengers for the upcoming Prada Cup Challenge selection series, which will host the 36th America’s Cup in 2021.The striking dial of the Luna Rossa GMT – 42 MM Luminous is made by the Made from Scafotech, a new high-tech polymer made from carbon fiber residue collected and recycled from the hull and hydrofoils of the Italian team’s AC75 yacht. The bezel, on the other hand, is made from another such composite material, Carbotech, which Panerai has been using since it introduced to the replica watch industry a few years ago. These two substances give their components a unique textured look.
The 42mm case is made of sandblasted titanium and includes a patented bridge-type crown locking mechanism. The numerals and indices on the dial of the sandwich construction are immersed in white Super-LumiNova, which glows bright green in low light. Inside the case, behind the screwed dodecagonal case back, is Panerai’s P.9010/GMT self-winding movement, with a three-day power reserve of two bars powering the hours, minutes, small seconds, date display, and GMT display in the second time zone.

Most Valuable Rolex Daytona

The 1969 Rolex is named after the legendary uniform of Formula One racing in the 1970s, the black and gold of its cigarette sponsor, John Player Special. The watch sold for twice its estimate, a sign of the enduring value of the most satisfying Rolex.  
Tenacity, innovation, and vision are the watchmakers’ basic virtues and the driving force of many revolutions in the field of watches.
“Time hasn’t stopped for us this season. It has been a transformative few months. In the past couple of weeks, we have auctioned two of the most valuable Daytonas ever sold, and together with collectors, we are rewriting the rule book of watch auctions,” says Sam Hines, Worldwide Head of Sotheby’s Watches.
“The record-breaking sale of this replica Rolex Daytona JPS summarizes in some ways the takeaways of this pivotal season: the eagerness of collectors to embrace better ways to transact with us, their resolute confidence to buy and sell high-value lots online and, of course, the unabated appetite for freshness, quality, and rarity. Leading this transformation is exciting for us, and we look forward to continuing to shape the market with collectors and share our passion with them in the second half of the year,” he adds.
Daryn Schnipper, Worldwide Chairman of Sotheby’s Watch Division, says the necessary shift into online sales for even the most valuable watches proves how far the auction world has come.
“It’s been wonderful to see antique pieces generating so much passion online and on social media – further proof that historic timepieces are so relevant today. They transcend the function of mere timekeeping to tell us the history of the modern world,” he says.
In a year that has seen so many successes for Breguet, including a record for a Tourbillon by the watchmaking genius at $3m, these values were certainly present in our minds. Many of the rumors have been debunked, especially the assumption that historic fake Rolex watches don’t sell well online: our June “Masterpiece of the Time” auction — the first online auction of world-class pocket watches in umamisf.com — sold 100 percent and set some of the highest prices of the season

Secret about Rolex GMT Master II Batman

If your CEO has a brown leather strap on his watch, don’t wear a black Rolex. What’s more, you don’t need to match the color of your blue border with your tie. It’s also good to have a blue border that stands out in your monochromatic outfit — your look needs to be consistent, not complete.
If your watch doesn’t fit your wrist perfectly, you run the risk of looking sloppy and unprofessional. And at the very least, you may look like a new collector. So be sure to adjust your wristband to your wrist – this may just require adding or removing additional links. Remember, your watch should be on your wrist, not on your wrist.  rolex
The last thing you want to do is walk into the office with a watch that isn’t wound or is dirty. Just because your watch is waterproof – which many nowadays are – doesn’t mean they get clean in the shower. Take the time to clean your watch properly and make it look as good as an ironed shirt and a neatly sewn suit. It’s as simple as washing it off with soap, water, and a fake Rolex.
You also want to be sure to wind your manual watches every day so that they keep accurate time. But, this won’t be much of a problem if you wear an automatic watch daily, as the movement of your wrist will keep the mechanical caliber in continuous motion. However, if you do put your timepiece away for some time, don’t forget to go into your watch box and rock it a bit so that it can keep time. This way next time you want to strap it on for the office, it’s ready to go.
This exclusive LIST of replica Rolex watch is one of the best of the best, and these watches, like you, sit proudly at the top. We have chosen a watch here that suits every executive style, whether you are looking for something with athleticism, sheer elegance, or a complete drive.
