Sea‑Dweller 116600 replica

The disc of the third-generation Green Ghost 126610LV hasn’t changed much except for the black lacquer surface and the addition of a “small crown” in the center of SWISS MADE at 6 o’clock. Of course, because of the mentioned changes in the case, it makes sense that the proportions of the dial will be adjusted a bit. For instance, the minute hand of the watch is slightly longer, and the hour hand “Mercedes-Benz hand” is slightly larger.

In terms of bracelets, the third generation of the Green Ghost still features the Oyster bracelet, with a double-safe Oyster clasp. The Oyster bracelet has three-segment links and is fully brushed. The side of the chain links, like the side of the case, is polished. As you know, the buckle of the water ghost is quite long because inside the buckle, the last bracelet can be slid back and forth to adjust the length. On the new Green Ghost 126610LV, the buckle’s fine-tuned length reaches 20 mm, which is 2 mm more than the previous generation of water ghosts. The fine-tuning of the buckle on the water ghost is very useful, allowing adjustments to be longer in summer and tighter in winter, which is very practical.

The reason I mention the movement is that Rolex has now introduced the new generation of 32 series calibres across the board, which many users will be familiar with. Compared to the 48-hour power reserve of the previous generation Hydro Calibre 3135, the new generation Rolex Calibre 3235 extends the power reserve to 70 hours. Besides upgrading the mainspring, Rolex has also used the new Chronergy escapement on the Calibre 3235 to improve power efficiency. At the same time, the Rolex blue niobium balance spring continues to be used, and the balance wheel was adjusted without snap-free weights.
