stainless steal DAYTONA were the cheapest in the range (I paid £2505 in 1994) but had to wait two years for it.
some F1 teams bought them up for the 'team' etc.

you can get the bi metal and gold etc no problem.

SS went to 4 yrs waiting list. I think the book on dealers has closed now. As places like GOLDSMITHS only get one watch per year!!

If your turkey moves its subdials via button 1, it is of very poor quality and most likely Chinese of origin.

Dont get it wet.

Some turkeys are one to one copies with no deviation whatsoever from the original and even jewellers can be fooled but you can pay upto $600 for them.

Highend swiss turkeys can be viewed here, they are listed as SWISS but are actually copies of swiss movements 1 to 1, they also trade rubbish as you will see by the prices and listing of ASIAN movement.

$89 Replica Watches,fake rolex watch,rolex replicas

Look at item number 24428 I have studied this watch as someone I know ordered it from this site, and I have had the case back off it....it is astounding, simple as that.
i cant find that item what make and model is it?

Have a look on CQout Online Auctions UK | Online Auction Site for CD's, Books, Lingerie, Film Posters, Fashion and Jewellery in the watch section, there's 1000s with varying prices and quality, some even come with boxes and certificates at an extra cost

Yoza is referring to the 1:1 Seadweller Deep Sea.

I'd consider buying a Seadweller (older style) but only buy one out of curiosity, TBH, for comparison purposes. Just to see how good it actually was.

Otherwise you are just kidding yourself, you'd always know it was a fake and passing it off as real is a bit patheric IMO.

The DSSD rep is one of the best out of the box Rolex reps you can get....the bezel font is slightly too thin and not bright enough (easy fix if you're brave) and the date window isn't right but they're pretty hard tells.

I've seen the video where the genuine sample watch for this is taken apart piece by piece by the Chinese in a lab and photographed/catalogued for replication - outstanding work. It's rare that this much care is taken though unless it is a sign of things to come....


is it water proof to 10k feet?

There's some Rolex replicas I've see that are garunteed waterproof to 30 metres which I suppose is more than enough for the avarage man, I'll find the link when I get home.

Remember that 30 metres is really only splash proof. To swim you need 100 metres minimum and youd be better off with a 'professional'/200 metres rating.

Nat that seller/shop is one of the expensive ones too! I bought a Tag Carrera off that auction site for £35, just as a cheep watch, which is automatic goes well too, i opened the back up and you can see why its cheap, it has plastic bits in it

How about this for £20 rolex seadweller black face black bezel automatic movement Watches Jewellery & Watches CQout Lot # 4511434

this for £155 Rolex Sea-Dweller Swiss ETA 2836 with Vintage Edition Watches Jewellery & Watches CQout Lot # 3570364

or £39 Rolex GMT-Master II Yellow Marking Automatic S/S-Vintage Watches Jewellery & Watches CQout Lot # 4525345

Nat to my/the untrained eye i can't see much difference between them, but as i know sometimes its whats inside them. i take it if it has an ETA movement it'll be a better quality rep?

That seadweller looks pretty good, as above the date is wrong and the 5 minute markers are not thicker, but it looks like a ceramic bezal and its even got the rolex in the inner ring ( which is very hard to see ) and the glide lock clasp

A real one

it's like having a copy of a Lois Vitton bag for a woman (or some men) you know its not the real thing and you only fool those who don't know the real thing (then it's wasted on them anyway isn't it?) and yourself.
