The Rolex GMT-Master is widely sought after in the secondary market for its iconic, purpose-built design set. Originally developed for professional pilots and other avid globetrotters, it features a 24-hour bezel and a GMT hand on the dial. While these features were intended to double as timekeepers, they now give the GMT-Master a distinctive tool watch aesthetic that collectors of all professions and lifestyles enjoy. The GMT-Master, a pillar of the Rolex catalog, was introduced in the 1950s and continues to be produced today as the GMT-Master II series. Replicas of the original GMT-Master are among the most popular fake Rolex watches on the market.
In this article, we will showcase a truly special version of the GMT-Master 16750 with a rare and unusual spider dial. Read on to learn more about what makes this vintage Rolex special, including its history, features, and price.
Rolex first introduced the GMT-Master Pilot’s Watch in the 1950s. The first GMT reference 6542 was produced for a few years before its successor, ref. 1675, took its place around 1959. The first model featured a two-tone bezel, now known as the “Pepsi,” to distinguish between day and night time, and a 24-hour scale for double timekeeping.
Rolex continued to use aluminum in the rest of the GMT-Master line until Cerachrom was introduced in 2000 in the 6-digit GMT-Master II. The Ref. 1675 introduced crown protection and an all-black bezel to the original Rolex GMT. Depending on the year of its release, the ref. 1675 also featured a glossy or matte dial. Rolex introduced the ref. 16750 in 1981 and continued production until the late 1980s. With this version of the GMT-Master, the collection as we know it today began to take more shape, with a higher-beating movement and better water resistance.
The Reference 16750 featured the then-new caliber 3075 Perpetual, replacing the 1575 movement that powered its 4-digit predecessor. The Reference 16750 was the first Rolex GMT-Master to feature the 3000 series movement, marking a very important moment in the history of the GMT-Master. Compared to the 19,600 bph rating of the 1575 movement, this movement has a higher frequency of 28,800 bph. This is also the first time the Quickset function is available in the imitation Rolex GMT-Master line.
With the Quickset function, the wearer could adjust the date mechanism by rotating the crown in the second position rather than advancing the hour hand 24 hours each day. The black second function introduced to the 1575 movement in the early 1970s remains, stopping the second hand from turning when the wearer sets the time. With the introduction of the 3075 movement, the GMT-Master collection became even more precise and convenient.
VS Factory Fake Rolex Single Red Sea-Dweller 126600
The Sea-Dweller 126600 is not new to Rolex now; the watch was released by Rolex a few years ago and immediately caught the attention of buyers once it was introduced to the market as the 43mm seemed to be the more popular size between the 40mm Submariner and the 44mm DEEPSEA Sea-Dweller. With the release of the latest 41mm fake Rolex Submariner, the 43mm Sea-Dweller 126600 has become less popular; after all, it is a professional dive watch and a bit thick for most people, while the 41mm Submariner is now more popular.
In our replica watch industry, the trend of Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 is very similar to genuine watches. Besides AR, other watch factories were producing 126600 then, Noob and GM. last week, VS also announced that they released the 126600. since AR and Noob have been closed, now there are only two watch factories in our market that can offer you the super clone 126600: GM and VS.
The GM factory offers two movement options for this watch, the 2836 and the 3235. currently, VS only has the 3235 movements for it. Both are worth buying, but I will choose this watch from VS factory because VS 126600 has a better 3235 movement. The VS factory first used this movement in their Datejust 2 and has been testing it for almost a year, and I believe in its quality. Now there are two different factory clones of the 3235 movements, VS and Clean, and they both claim their 3235 is the best on the market; I can’t say which one is better because customers have not complained about either.
The 3235 movement is the biggest advantage of this single red wave and the biggest selling point. If a watchmaker has a big advantage that other watchmakers don’t have, then its replica watches must be best sellers. The bezel is ceramic and rotates in one direction. VS factory uses stamping technology to fix the ceramic insert in the groove, while the bezel insert on GM or Clean is glued. Therefore, the VS factory’s bezel insert is fixed in a way closer to that of a genuine watch.
The price of VS 126600 is a little bit higher than GM 126600; if you like this big diving-style watch, you can buy it from VS factory. All replica Rolex watches from VS factory are not too high priced and worth buying; I hope VS will make Daytona in the future because Clean sells Daytona at a high price.
