Okay, let’s talk about this Rolex Deepsea, the 116660, the one they call “original order.” I’ve always been a watch guy, you know, love the look, the feel, the whole deal. But a real Rolex? That’s big money, right? So I started looking into these high-imitation ones, seeing what the fuss was about.
First, I dug around online, reading forums, watching videos, trying to figure out which factories were making the best versions. It’s a whole world out there, with all these different levels of quality and different price points. You gotta be careful, or you’ll end up with some cheap junk. I’m not looking for perfection, but I want something that looks and feels good, something I won’t be embarrassed to wear.
After a while, I narrowed it down to a couple of sellers who seemed to have a good reputation. I sent some messages, asked a bunch of questions about the movement, the materials, the details. You know, the usual stuff: Does it have the right weight? Does the bezel click nicely? Is the date magnification correct?
- Reaching out: Sending messages, asking questions.
- Comparing: Looking at different sellers, different versions.
- Deciding: Finally picking one that seemed like the best bet.
Finally, I pulled the trigger and ordered one. It took a couple of weeks to arrive, but when it did, man, I was excited. I opened the box, and there it was. It looked pretty darn good, I gotta say. It had a nice weight to it, felt solid in my hand. The bracelet was decent, not too flimsy.
I started playing around with it, setting the time, winding it up. The movement felt smooth, not like some of the cheap ones that grind and tick loudly. I examined it closely, comparing it to pictures of the real deal online. The details were surprisingly accurate. The cyclops, the font on the dial, the little crown on the clasp – they got most of it right.
My Personal Test
I wore it out a few times, just to see how it felt in real life. Nobody noticed it wasn’t a real Rolex, which was kind of the point. It’s not about fooling people, it’s about enjoying the watch for myself. I even took it to a local watch guy, just to get his opinion. He looked it over, and even he was impressed. Said it was one of the better ones he’d seen. I wore it in the shower and even went swimming with it.
Look, it’s not a real Rolex, and I’m not pretending it is. But for the price, this 116660 “original order” is a pretty impressive piece. It’s a fun way to enjoy the style of a Deepsea without breaking the bank. Would I buy another one? Probably. I’m already eyeing some other models. This whole high-imitation watch world is pretty addictive, I’m not gonna lie. That’s why I decided to share my experience here so you guys don’t have to go through all the trials and errors.
