Literally, Rolex’s big release this year is huge. We’re having an update to the traditional Sea-Dweller, this time in a Rolex two-tone Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold configuration. Technically, this popular watch is almost the same Sea-Dweller that Rolex released back in 2017. It’s 43mm across, has a polished ceramic bezel, still utilizes the classic helium escape valve on the left side of the case, and is powered by the souped-up caliber 3235 movements. It’s a great cool Rolex sports watch, just with a new golden hue put to the mix.
Rolex replica takes this combination of metals as “yellow Rolesor,” which is just their way of saying that the watch combines components made of their proprietary Oystersteel alloy and components made of 18k yellow gold. It’s actually a better way of saying “two-tone.” The Sea-Dweller’s case and outer bracelet links are made of steel, while the bezel ring, crown, and center bracelet links are solid gold. What’s more, the hands and lume surrounds on the dial are yellow gold the bezel markings are gold-filled, and the “Sea-Dweller” signature comes with a cool gilt tone too. The lume is Chromalight that glows blue.
The funny thing about this cheap replica watch is that while I am confident to say that it has countless tool watch die-hards wringing their hands, gnashing their teeth, and seething with purpose-oriented anger, this is a watch that by all accounts should have existed long ago. Must I remind you that very early on, Rolex celebrated its underwater timekeeping achievements by making two-tone dive watches as trophies of kinds. You’ll hear his story about his father receiving the two-tone Deep Sea Special if you go back and watch our Talking replica watches with Rene Beyer, which you see below directly from the replica Rolex after a similar watch reached the bottom of the Mariana Trench strapped to the outside of the bathyscaphe Trieste. And that was in 1960 when the fake Submariner was still a rather newfangled contraption.
It’s not one for the faint of heart or wrist as far as this watch itself goes. Rolex doesn’t have particular weight for it, but at 43mm x 15mm, the watch is hefty in steel. Add those gold bracelet links and you’ve got a fake watch with some rather serious wrist presence. I’m jazzed to try this one on less. I believe that I’ll end up feeling like I need one and more because I suppose it’s going to be one heck of an interesting experience. There’s something that feels a little illegal and devil-may-care about wearing a gold sports watch, and a two-tone Rolex is a different thing any day of the week. I’ll hold off on passing any more judgment until then, and we’ll have real pictures of this one soon enough.
