Rolex Submariner 6538 Review

The Rolex Submariner 6538 model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a solid stainless steel case, 38 mm diameter and ETA 2824-2 caliber in accordance with Swiss norms architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

The Vintage Submariner 6538 has a few differences compared to the modern Submariner. First, size. The case diameter of the Replika 6538 is only 38 mm and the case is completely brushed, including the case sides, which are usually mirror-polished on the modern Submariner. White hour markers are printed on the black bezel insert; It has a silver rounded edge surrounding the bezel pearl. The most distinctive feature that sets this vintage Submariner apart from others is the winding lever. This is a Submariner with a nice, big winding crown; There is a Rolex Crown Logo on the front, but underneath the crown logo it says “BREVET” not “ROLEX”. Almost all vintage Rolex watches use domed plexiglass glass, and this one does too.

Case and Body Workmanship

The dial is black; adorned with yellowish hour markers and prints. The Benz hour and minute hands are slightly thinner, not as wide as on modern Submariners. The “200m = 600ft” print on it says that the original 6538 can be waterproof to 200 meters; However, when this replica was tested at the factory, it measured 30m water resistance. The dial and bezel pearl emit a strong green light in the dark.

Movement and Caliber Performance

Replica large crown 6538 Submariner is equipped with the Asian ETA 2836-2 movement, modified from a Chinese Sea-Gull automatic movement. Many readers who sent me questions requested that their watches be fitted with genuine Swiss ETA movements. The thing is, some replica watches can be fitted with a genuine Swiss ETA caliber, but some vintage Rolex models like this cannot be fitted.
