UK Online Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller: 50 years

Celebrating the first perfect replica Rolex Sea-Dweller model introduced in 1967 – referenced by the detail of the red lettering of the Sea-Dweller name on the dial – this new rendition of the classic sports diver does not show its age in the least.

It does however show the date quite clearly thanks to a new Cyclops magnifier on the dial.

UK AAA Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller COMEX ref. 16600

The cheap super clone Rolex Sea-Dweller saw its own transition in the ‘80s by way of the reference 16600, which brought many of the same features listed above for the reference 16800. The 16600 Rolex Sea-Dweller watches were the final reference produced for COMEX, and even though the relationship formally ended in 1997, they could be ordered well into the ‘00s, even with caseback numbers (though they may not have seen the same kind of use as the older watches). Not many fall into that category, but this example from Chrono24 represents a nice example of these Swiss fake watches, having been built in 2005. 

The 16600 is an underrated reference as a whole, and the COMEX connection with this one is worn as a badge of everything the watch represents. This example is in like new condition, serving as something of a time capsule of how high quality fake Rolex intended the watch to appear when delivered. It may not have the same fascinating stories associated with it, but it does mark the end of an era in a rather fitting way.
