1953 was no doubt important for Rolex and two of its well-known watch series. That year, the band released both the Submariner and the Explorer, both of which are impressive in appearance and function. However, each replica watch has seen significant evolution in its own unique way through the years. 
When the two fake watches were first released, their quality was tested immediately. Replica Rolex sponsored Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay for their expedition to Mount Everest with an Oyster Perpetual. Although the watch wasn’t under the name of Explorer at the time, it was one of the first watches to reach Everest’s peak and served as an inspiration source for the Explorer collection. Also, Submariner was sent to the deepest depths of the ocean along with Auguste Piccard. He attached the watch to his submarine’s hull and dive 3100 meters into the sea. When he resurfaced, the Submariner still performed properly.
The Explorer and Submariner quickly received their recognition as high-end tool watches. The Explorer went through several design changes during its first decade. However, in 1963, Rolex released Ref. 1016, the notable variation of the Explorer had continuously been produced for 26 years. Generally, the Submariner has remained largely unchanged since its first debut. However, same as the Explorer, the Submariner received one of its trademark aesthetic updates several years after it first launched. In 1959, Rolex released the Ref. 5512, featuring the model’s large crown and crown guards.
Both of the cheap watches have been through significant changes in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Explorer in particular. In the late 1960s, Rolex debuted the Submariner Ref. 1680, which was recognized as much more than a diver’s tool with the addition of a date function and Cyclops magnifier. The early 1970s brought about a new era for the Explorer. In 1971, Rolex released the first Explorer II with the Ref. 1655. This was believed a bold move. In the beginning, many fans of the model regarded it as an utter departure from the original and missed the fancy look and feel of the Explorer.
Nowadays, the Explorer II and the Submariner remain to be two of Rolex’s most popular models. Both models feature the durability and functionality of a tool watch with the timeless design Rolex replica are known for, making them seamlessly transition from an adventure to a night out on the town. Each of the watches has been proved durable through extreme conditions and everyday use. When a fake watch is backed by the iconic Rolex name, it’s hard to choose a favorite.
