Rolex Submariner 11610 Noob Factory Review

The Rolex Submariner 11610 model is produced by Noob Factory with a solid 904L stainless steel case, 40 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.

Compared to the simple and dignified stance of its brother, the "black water ghost", the "green water ghost" gives a more flashy and assertive impression. If Rolex had to be described with a single colour, it would definitely be green. The "green" of the Rolex water ghost is different from an ordinary green; It consists of a layer of "green gold" whose surface is coated with PVD technology, and the exact proportion of the material used has always remained a secret. A very beautiful green.

Bracelet and buckle section

The bracelet of the watch is made of 904L stainless steel; Its brushed pattern is clear and blends seamlessly with the case. 904L super austenitic stainless steel; It is a low carbon, high nickel and molybdenum, acid-resistant austenitic stainless steel. It has a very good activation-passivation conversion ability and its corrosion resistance is extremely high. It has good resistance to non-oxidizing acids such as sulfuric acid, acetic acid, formic acid and phosphoric acid; offers high resistance to pitting corrosion in neutral, chloride ion-containing environments; It also has good resistance to crevice corrosion and stress corrosion. Suitable for sulfuric acid of all concentrations below 70 °C; It has very good corrosion resistance against acetic acid at all concentrations and temperatures under normal pressure, as well as mixtures of formic acid and acetic acid.

The biggest advantage of 904L stainless steel is that it increases resistance to stress corrosion. Firstly, stress corrosion does not occur when the watch is worn on the wrist. Secondly, the material maintains good structural integrity. Thirdly, it has good machinability, that is, the ability to take shape.

The bracelet is perfectly connected to the case via flexible spring pins.

The bracelet links have Arabic numeral markings indicating the production batch of the piece.

It is worth noting that Rolex's case and bracelet, whether matte or polished, present a much more beautiful processing result than other brands.

The new generation Oyster safety clasp meets the requirements of professional watches and skillfully combines robust, precision engineering. It is easy to use, its lines are fluid and most importantly, it is safe and secure.

The outer surface of the buckle is also processed with a 904 stainless steel brushed pattern.

The engraved inscriptions on the buckle, which can be adjusted in size, are clear, equal in depth and compatible with the original. Although the inside of the buckle is not easily visible, the details are meticulously processed and not sloppy at all.

The inner part of the extendable buckle has been sandblasted. The Rolex patented Glidelock clasp allows the wearer to extend the bracelet by 2 millimeters at each step, up to a total of 20 millimeters; The extending links of the folding clasp can extend the bracelet by an additional 26 millimeters.

(Equipped with 904 stainless steel buckle) The logo of the elegant safety buckle has no welding marks, it is processed extremely carefully; It has the same feature of quick adjustment of the bracelet length as the original.

watch body part

Many watches already have a nickname before they become a popular model. For example, the name Rolex water ghost; Some say that it was born fifteen or twenty years ago, while others say that it was known by this name in the Hong Kong market before the watch even came to the mainland. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly when it originated.

What is rare is valuable. It is said that for every ten black ghosts there is only one green ghost. As a matter of fact, Rolex also prices the green ghost higher than the black ghost; This shows that the production cost of the green ghost is higher. It is the production quantity that determines this: the fewer the quantity, the higher the unit cost.

The size of the 40 mm dial is ideal and fits any wrist. It can be easily combined with either classic or daily wear.

Case back section

The watch has a closed (massive) case back design. The case back is made of 904L stainless steel, processed using a combination of brushing and polishing, and has a screw-down design. The notches of the case back are designed in a gear shape and comply with the range of international standard watch opening tools.

There is the Rolex logo and English inscriptions such as 904 on the inside of the case back.

When enlarged with a macro shot, the ROLEX text on the inside of the case back can be clearly seen; Below it are the words GENEVA, SWITZERLAND (Switzerland) and Stainless steel.

Mechanism section

On the movement side, Seagull 2836, replica 3135 and ETA 2836 options are available. In this review, I will mainly introduce the 3135 movement; You can contact me in detail for the other two mechanisms.

As for the Cal.3135 movement, let's first take a look at the official data. As Rolex's most fundamental movement, its stability is unquestionable. The movement has a diameter of 28.5 millimeters, a thickness of 6 millimeters, an oscillation frequency of 28,800 per hour, 31 jewels, a power reserve of 50 hours, an instantaneous jump date, a four-spoke Glucydur alloy balance wheel, 4 weights (2 of which are adjustable), a Breguet type mainspring and a KIF shock absorber system.

To maintain consistency, major Chinese manufacturers have copied this mechanism almost perfectly in terms of appearance.

On the inside of the movement, there is the gilded Rolex logo, the Swiss Geneva gilded sign and inscriptions indicating the 31 jewels.

The date design of the 3135 movement has a date structure that skips instantaneously by accumulating energy.

This is the automatic winding system of the mechanism. The red wheel in the image, specific to Rolex movements; A spray coating similar to a non-stick pan coating has been applied to it. It shows superior performance in terms of corrosion protection, wear resistance and friction reduction.

mechanism mainspring

As for the Breguet mainspring: the original uses the Breguet mainspring, which is also called the blue mainspring. In theory, the synchronicity of the Breguet type mainspring is better than that of the straight mainspring; However, today's technology can also provide very good synchronicity with a straight mainspring. Therefore, the Breguet type mainspring has become one of the ways to demonstrate greater craftsmanship.

The 3135 movement also uses KIF shock absorbers. The basic function of the shock absorber is this: when the watch is subjected to a certain impact, for example when it falls from a table, an impact force is generated. In this case, the spring of the shock absorber flexes and changes shape with the incoming force and simultaneously absorbs the shock coming from the balance wheel. Thus, the balance of the balance wheel is maintained and the watch continues to operate normally.

The impact resistance of the blue mainspring is 10 times higher than that of an ordinary mainspring. In addition, since the blue mainspring is a paramagnetic mainspring, it also has good resistance to magnetism. Regarding the movement, many of my friends ask me how they should choose between the Seagull 2836 and the replica 3135; For this question, please contact us at izledektifii@gmail.com.

cash register

The Submariner is also made of 904L stainless steel; It is carefully processed and its shine is extremely good.

It has a screw-down crown slot in three directions.

There is an adhesive label with a QR code on the side of the case. Many of my friends ask me if this code can be scanned; Of course it cannot be scanned.

The emerald green bezel attracts attention. The bezel of the green water ghost is a unidirectional rotating, 60-minute graduated ceramic bezel; There are 5 numerical signs on it in a thin circular font, "10, 20, 30, 40, 50". Steps between 0 and 15 are reserved for minute markers.

The case shoulders and ears are processed with soft lines. The crown sleeve on three sides is screwed; When enlarged, there are no traces of welding and the workmanship is quite fine. It also has a sealing gasket made of rubber material; This provides good waterproofing.

There are English inscriptions on the case indicating stainless steel; This shows that the watch is made entirely of stainless steel.

There are Rolex English letters and Arabic numerals 11610 on the bottom of the case.

The interior of the case back is also screwed.

The rotating bezel of the watch has a lume dot in the shape of an inverted triangle, which gives it a certain recognition. The corner work on the threaded edges of the bezel is also very successful. Let me also talk about the filling of the hour markers: in this model, a material similar to a mixture of chrome and silver was used to achieve the platinum color effect. Compared to other versions, an extremely unpleasant situation such as the paint peeling off of the bezel markers has been completely eliminated in terms of appearance; Likewise, a great improvement in tissue quality was achieved.

Hidden logo at position 6. Rumor has it that originally each logo had 7 laser dots at the top and 14 at the base; Frankly, I never counted. This anti-counterfeiting logo is extremely difficult to spot with the naked eye; It only becomes visible when viewed from a special angle. Now imagine how difficult it is to photograph it. This detail can also be used as an important criterion in evaluating the quality of the product. If the dots are engraved directly on the glass, it will not be possible to hide them; To achieve this, it is necessary to add an anti-reflective coating and increase the anti-reflection level. Only then can the crown logo be hidden.

glass section

The sapphire glass update this time is also a point that deserves appreciation. The compatibility with the bezel has increased even more; The overall effect is that the glass looks much flatter when viewed from the side. Likewise, it can be seen that the braille patterns on the inner ring are clear and fine; Scratch marks on the inner and outer two rings of the inscription can be clearly seen, revealing fine workmanship. Also, the angle of the inner ring frame is exactly vertical; Details are very well controlled.

crown section

The watch uses a winding crown with a screw-down design; There is a classic crown logo in the middle of the crown. Thanks to the gears of the winding crown, the user can feel the feeling of resistance while winding the mechanism.

dial section

The watch's dial layout continues the brand's classic style; The green dial brings a new life to the watch. By combining classic and modern colors, it perfectly reflects the appeal of a different side of the user.

Origin of the classic Rolex Mercedes hour hand design: In the famous Submariner diving watch (popularly known as the "water ghost"), first produced in 1953, it was a practical solution to increase the lume brightness of the hour hand, making it easier to read the watch while diving and at the same time ensuring that the lume dye does not flake off during long-term use. The large lume spot is divided into three; Thus, the lume paint in each area remains relatively durable and there is almost no shedding in normal use. Over time, it has been affectionately nicknamed the "Mercedes hour hand" by watch enthusiasts around the world because it resembles the Mercedes logo so much.

In the watch world, "green" is a pretty special color. If you say the most popular watch brand in the world today, it is definitely Rolex. So, which is the most popular watch among Rolex? This is the green dial model in the brand's Submariner series, popularly known as the "Green Water Ghost".

There is a date window with black numbers on a white background at the 3rd position of the dial.

The word "Swiss Made" appears on the 6th position of the watch's dial.

The entire crown logo under the large triangle is finely printed and the text is clear.

The Green Water Ghost is an extremely assertive watch that exudes personality; Its original dial features large lumeli hour markers and is highly recognizable. A masterpiece that is also sturdy and durable! The hour markers have a lume coating, so you can easily read the time even at night. There is a magnifying date window in the 3rd position of the dial, and the classic "Mercedes hour hand" in the center.

As a dive watch, what would it be without a strong lume? The Green Water Ghost is of course no exception to this; Its lume is strong, its tone is soft and captivating. You can read the time clearly even in the darkest night; Your most loyal friend in the dark.

According to statistics, when choosing the first high-end watch in their lives, 60% of Chinese prefer Rolex. Its recognition in our country is extremely high, as is the recognition of the watch itself; Choosing it is undoubtedly the best way to show off your style. Among such prestigious, well-known and remarkable Rolex models, there is one that can be considered a trump card: that is the Green Water Ghost. Thanks for reading!
