VR modified Rolex Sub full-frame Submariner wristwatch

The Rolex Submariner model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a carbon fiber and Carbotech case, standard case diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone movement 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.

Friends who have just entered the article may ask, “Since when has Rolex been making watches with skeletons?” He may be surprised. In fact, this watch is a Rolex modification that the retired legend of Italian football, nicknamed "midfield master" Andrea Pirlo (nicknamed Sleeping Pirlo), had it made by the Swiss watch modification workshop Artisans de Genève. Pirlo attributes the reason why he chose Artisans de Genève to the fact that he found a perspective that overlaps with his own watch philosophy in the watches they modified.

After reading this far, questions may arise in the minds of your friends: This is someone else's modified watch, what is it for me? Actually it is not so; VR Factory has released just such a modified model, and all the images in this article belong to VR's skeletonized Rolex Submariner.

Dial and Hand Details

Of course, the thing that attracts the most attention is the skeletonized dial. Artisans de Genève removed the original dial of the watch, revealing the mechanism underneath. You can see “Il Maestro 1995-2017” engraved on the edge of the rotor; This actually symbolizes Pirlo's professional football career, which extends from 1995 to 2017, and gives a much more special meaning to the watch.

I must admit that Pirlo's choice was very appropriate; Durable and simple Rolex suddenly turned into a work of art. Although the modified Submariner may seem at first glance to have only a skeletonized dial, that is not the end of it. What you call a work of art is often hidden in the details: That ordinary-looking bezel is actually machined from a single piece of forged titanium; This gives the watch a more unique appearance and further strengthens its sporty atmosphere.

This is a truly rare Submariner; You don't have to worry about the possibility of seeing the same watch on someone else while wearing it and walking down the street. After all, the number of people interested in modified watches in our country is almost non-existent.

Case and Body Workmanship

We also see a heavy satin brushed treatment applied to the modified Submariner's case and bracelet; In addition, the edges of the outer parts of the case have been further chamfered and polished. Thus, the simple-looking satin case has been taken one step further in terms of fine detail.

Movement and Caliber Performance

This VR version is modeled after the Rolex 116610; A "carbon fiber bezel" was used for the first time, the dial was completely dismantled and only the working part of the mechanism was left on the 3130 movement plate, making the working principle of the entire mechanism visible. With its specially ordered weighted automatic rotor, it is the most difficult Rolex ever to modify and its production run is extremely small.

Every Rolex enthusiast wants to witness the working of the Rolex movement at least once; Unfortunately, Rolex wasn't giving people that opportunity. It is now possible; Would you like to taste this innovation?
