Introduction to VR Factory
VR is a relatively new player in the market, akin to AR, known for crafting high-quality imitation Rolex watches. VR Factory emerged in 2018, and has since launched several significant models alongside Noob and AR Factory, such as the Submariner 116610LN, 116610LV, and 116520 Daytona. These models are renowned for their top-notch quality, utilizing premium 904L stainless steel and cutting-edge movements. With an abundance of options in Rolex replicas, many inquire about the best choice. Ultimately, it boils down to budget. For a reasonably priced Submariner, BP Factory offers decent replicas, but for the pinnacle of quality, Noob is highly recommended. Known for their exceptional Black Sub 116610LN, Noob has a longstanding reputation. This two-tone Submariner 116613 replica originates from VR Factory. Although it carries a higher price tag, its quality rivals that of a Noob Submariner.
Design and Build Quality
The elevated cost of this piece is due to two main factors. Firstly, the 18K gold coating on both case and bracelet. While the case is crafted from 316L stainless steel, it boasts a thick 18K gold coating, approximately 5 mils thick. The standout feature, however, is the 18K gold coating on the bracelet. Upon inspection, the central links are coated with real 18K gold on each side, a feat achieved by few manufacturers. The bezel is two-tone as well, featuring a blue ceramic insert with golden engravings and a clicking tooth. The logo on the crown is strikingly similar to the genuine Rolex Crown logo, arguably more so than that of the Noob Submariner.
Dial and Movement Details
The dial of the two-tone 116613 is blue, with yellow gold tone printings. The hour markers are edged in gold and filled with white luminescence, while the lume on the dial and bezel pearl is blue. Another factor contributing to the higher price is the movement. This replica is fitted with a genuine ETA 2836 movement, not an Asian imitation. Below are further specifications of this replica.
