Rover Shui Gui Submariner is undoubtedly the classic in the classic, it has unparalleled versatility, making it a perfect choice for everyday wear watch, if you only intend to buy a fake watches, no doubt on the selection of Submariner water ghosts. 2010 Basel Watch Fair, Rolex launched a new section of stainless steel ghost 116610, to replace the old steel section of the water ghost 16610, we are here to compare the old and new water ghosts of the differences and progress. Many people may not quite understand how much of the changes that have taken place in 116610 (for Rolex). We can review the older Submariner Submariner 1680 to the submarine 16610 changes, 16610 officially released in 1988 (instead of the previous 1680 water ghost): Submariner 1680 Submariner 16610 The most obvious difference between the two watches is the watch mirror, (1680 of the mirror is acrylic adhesive, and 16610 of the mirror into a sapphire); dial (1680 is black smooth, 16610 is black matte); Time scale (1680 is raised luminous material, 16610 when the standard with a platinum box). Now, let's compare 16610 and 116610 to the same details: Bezel 16610 Submariner date cut off after the 116610 submariner time to replace the latter most notable features for the ceramic bezel. Therefore, when discussing the function, we should start from the bezel. Rolex 116610 Sub bezel This is the most exciting and visually different between the two watches. Ceramic bezel (CERACHROM) is certainly interesting material. Relative to the 16610 on the aluminum bezel is certainly more resistant to scratch. Rolex 116610 assembly diagram 'For most uses', the ceramic bezel (CERACHROM) does not produce scratches (hand with a diamond ring to draw, then there must be scratches). I have not seen or heard the broken ceramic bezel, but we have seen quite a few aluminum rings that need to be replaced in a few years, so I think the ceramic is the gospel of most of the watch. Of course, this is not no cost, the higher cost of ceramic bezel, the corresponding price will increase 100-200 dollars. A scratched 16610 aluminum bezel Not only the bezel material has changed, bezel internal rotation mechanism has also been improved. 16610, a single click spring controls the rotation of the bezel, which may be jammed or free to rotate. This is why the bezel is difficult to accurately place the reason. While the 116610 uses a four-click spring into the case. This causes the bezel mark to be perfectly aligned and consistently smooth. Luminous New and old water ghost glow comparison The next most notable feature is the luminous, which has a noticeable size difference (the so-called large face plate), and the old and new models of luminous colors are different: the new is blue, the old section is green luminous. New luminous figure Rolex called the blue luminous "Chromalight", I suspect that this is Rolex has been used for many years the same luminous material, but with another color. The specific color of the blue-green color is the most sensitive color in the darkness. So, whether it is really bright, your eyes see the wavelength is more sensitive and you will think it is the brightest. Case size Literally, the 16610 submersible and the 116610 submersus have the same 40 mm width. However, on the wrist, the 116610 will feel more than 40mm, for those who think that the 40mm case is too small, 116610 is a good choice. There are two main reasons. The first reason is the crown bridge, the new is nearly twice as wide. This gives the impression of a wider case. The second reason is lugs. Lug is the old section of nearly two times wide, meaning 116610 case gradually thinner much less. Old ear ear spacing of 24 mm, while the new is measured for 27mm. Bracelet and clasp The new soders date section 116610 of the connecting section is completely solid stainless steel. In practice it is difficult to see, the following figure can see the difference. This may be slightly more bracelet chain, but no longer appear Rolex watch chain loose phenomenon. ROLEX GLIDELOCK Clasp Glidelock clasp is a really obvious and great improvement. It not only gives greater fine-tuning accuracy, but also more convenient to operate. Especially the summer wrist will certainly be thicker, so a simple fine adjustment is a big gospel. Overall, Rolex new water ghost 116610 is the old section of the powerful 16610, a clear improvement, while the visual still maintained a few decades of real classic form.
