The Rolex Deepsea is by far the largest watch in the Rolex collection. While I don’t like bulky watches, this one is one of my favorite Rolex watches. But it’s heavy! If you haven’t worn a watch that’s too big before, this can be a little awkward until your wrist gets used to the weight. After a while, the watch will feel the perfect size and weight on your wrist
One of the main differences between an authentic replica Rolex watch and my Rolex Deepsea is the gradient dial. 2018 edition genuine Deepsea watch has beautiful blue to black gradient dial, while my watch has a black dial without any gradient. The word “DEEPSEA” is properly 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 watch looks like it’s made from ceramic, but the markings are not as deep and “crisp” as on Rolex. I was relieved to get my watch with this kind of bezel. I was very afraid to get one with a simple aluminum ring bezel – this would be a dead giveaway.
The case is a bulky 44 mm in diameter and also very thick. This Rolex replica 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 shop where I bought it warned me not to take this diving watch with me. Their warranty does not include water stains, so swimming is out of the question.
The Oysterlock clasp was copied to perfection from the outside, however, there is no micro-adjustment system. If one would like to shorten the band length, the only way to do it is to unscrew the screws and move one or two links off.
Rolex Deepsea comes with Perpetual Calibre 3235. Fake Rolex states that patented Chronergy escapement and Parachrom hairspring features of this mechanism make the watch resistant to magnetism and mechanical shocks. My watch moves automatically, but there are no signs on it, so it’s impossible to tell where it was made or who made it. But, hey, the watch is fairly accurate, the second-hand sweeps smoothly, and I really don’t care if it’s Swiss, Japanese, or Chinese.
