Rolex Deepsea is the biggest watch in the Rolex collection to date. Although I don’t like heavy watches, this model is one of my best lovers among all Rolex watches. It’s rather heavy, though! If you haven’t owned a big fake watch before, this can be a little embarrassing until your wrist will get accustomed to the weight. After a while, the fake watch will feel like it is accurately sized and weighted on your wrist
One of the important differences between an authentic Rolex watch and my Rolex Deepsea replica is the gradient dial. 2019 edition genuine Deepsea watch has nice blue to black gradient dial, while my imitation has a black dial without any gradient. The word “DEEPSEA” is perfectly positioned and has the right green color font. Another problem is the date display. The number is just not centered and aligned a bit to the left of the center of the date window.
The bezel of this Deepsea fake watch looks like it’s made of ceramic, but the markings are not as deep and “crisp” as on authentic Rolex. I was relieved to get my knockoff with this kind of bezel. I was very frightened to get one with a simple aluminum ring bezel – this would be a dead giveaway.
The case is a huge 44 mm in diameter and also very thick. This replica Rolex watch features a helium escape valve at a 9 o’clock position on the side of the case and the winding crown with a rubber o-ring. The store I bought it from warned me not to dive with this diving watch. Their warranty doesn’t cover any water damage, so swimming is also out of the question.
Authentic Rolex Deepsea comes with Perpetual Calibre 3235. Rolex replica states that patented Chronergy escapement and Parachrom hairspring features of this mechanism make the watch resistant to magnetism and mechanical shocks. My watch does come with automatic movement, but there are no markings on it, so there is no way to tell where or by whom it was manufactured. But hey, the watch is rather accurate and the second-hand sweeps smoothly and I don’t really care if it’s a Swiss, Japanese, or Chinese made mechanism.
Even though this fake Rolex looks very impressive and you might not tell the differences, at first sight, the fact that the blue dial gradient is missing and the date alignment flaw is too obvious mistakes.
