The three counterfeit Rolex watches all use black dials, Oyster case straps and aperture designs, and their design language is similar. In recent years, Rolex has expanded the differences between them through iterative models. In particular, the Tanyi not only offers two sizes of 36 and 40mm, but also introduces precious metals (18K gold) for the first time, which greatly enhances the luxury of the series. The new Airmaster also enhances its sporty attributes with crown shoulder guards. On the other hand, green glass has been delayed in launching iterative models, and even the entire GMT series has been removed.
This kind of watch mirror is not only the first for Rolex, but also unique in the entire bezel. Due to the use of new material technology, the early Ref.116400GV had a low production, which made it have the conditions to become a “speculation” – uniqueness and scarcity. In those days, the popularity of green glass crushed the green water ghost and Greenwich II, and it can be said to be the “originator of speculation” of fake Rolex.
The first generation of GMT was born in the 1950s. With the rapid development of industrial technology, the risk of people being exposed to magnetic fields has increased day by day. Especially for people engaged in specific professions, a watch with reliable anti-magnetic performance is urgently needed. The first Rolex Magnetic Type Ref.6451 was released in 1956. It uses a rotatable outer ring similar to the Submariner type, the second hand is in the shape of a “lightning needle”, and the word “Milgauss” is marked in red on the dial. The anti-magnetic performance can reach 1000 gauss.
Biwan Ceramic Type and “Little Red Shield” are diving watches, and competing in waterproofness is their “main business”. This also means that anti-magnetic is only an additional performance of these two products. And the counterfeit Rolex Green Glass, which is positioned as a professional anti-magnetic watch, is a bit embarrassing that its main performance is not as good as the “additional performance” of its friends. If the Magnetic Type is to return to the arena, it is imperative to strengthen the anti-magnetic performance.
A more sporty and professional appearance. As mentioned earlier, the Airmaster, which is also one of the “three treasures”, completed its upgrade in 2022. In addition to the Cal.3230 movement, the most important improvement in the appearance of the new Airmaster is the addition of the crown shoulder guard. In the past, this design only appeared on sports models with outer rings. As Rolex’s first “aperture” with crown shoulder guards, it greatly enhances the sporting attributes of the Airmaster. Therefore, it is not ruled out that the future Geely watch will also adopt a similar shape.
