The third generation of water ghosts, Ref.16610, appeared around 1989 and went through more than 20 years of production. Although there is no significant change in appearance compared with the old model, the internal movement has been upgraded from Cal.3035 to Cal.3135 with better stability. In more than 20 years of production, the case, bracelet, luminous paint, etc., have undergone various changes. First of all, in 1999, the extension of the cheap replica watches chain changed from a plate shape to the same bar style as the upper part; The specific embodiment is that the mark at 6 o’clock changes from [SWISS-T<25] to [SWISS], and finally becomes [SWISS MADE]. In 2003, the case and mirror changed slightly. The laser crown with Rolex anti-counterfeiting logo was added to the 6 o’clock direction of the mirror. Partially penetrating, small holes can only be observed on the inside. In 2007, the English words [ROLEX] were engraved on the case’s inside, and the watch’s serial number was engraved at 6 o’clock. By the way, the format of the warranty card has also changed in 2007, from paper to plastic.
Ref.16610 was not discontinued until 2010, and then the 6-digit model of the fourth-generation water ghost Ref.116610LN appeared. Some changes have taken place from the inside to the outside. The specific appearance changes are identical to the Wuli water ghost introduced before and will be repeated below.
- Case: The thickness of the lugs is changed from 2.7mm to 4mm, and the shoulder pads of the handle are also enlarged, making the subject look more extensive as a whole.
- Bracelet: Equipped with a folding oyster safety buckle that can be adjusted in length without tools and a Rolex Glidelock extension system, the middle part of the bracelet is also changed from hollow to solid.
- Bezel: changed from aluminum to scratch-resistant Cerachrom ceramic bezel, with platinum-plated numerals on the scale.
- Dial: The hands and luminous scales have also become thicker, which significantly improves visibility; the bright paint of the replica watch has changed to Chromalight long-lasting blue brilliant, which glows longer.
The new calendared water ghost Ref.126610LN is the same as the Wuli water ghost Ref.124060, which can be said to have been changed from the inside out. The 41mm case, the latest Cal3235 movement, and other changes have significantly improved its performance. And to distinguish the difference, a small crown is added in the middle of the words [SWISS MADE] at the 6 o’clock direction of the dial.
That’s all for today’s watch introduction; I don’t know if you like it.
