Okay, so, let’s talk about this Rolex Deepsea 116660 I got my hands on. I was so excited when it arrived. You know, that feeling when you finally get something you’ve been wanting for a long time? Yeah, that was me.
First thing I did was rip open the package. Inside, there was this fancy box and all these accessories. This little plastic sleeve caught my eye – it had the warranty card inside. I thought, “That’s weird, it should be different.” But, hey, I’m no expert, so I just kept looking at the whole box.
I started comparing this watch to some pictures I found online of the real deal. I spent hours looking at every tiny detail – the bezel, the dial, the hands, everything. And the more I looked, the more I started to see some differences. Nothing major, mind you, but enough to make me question things.
- The date font, it looked just a bit off.
- The engraving on the clasp, not as sharp as I expected.
- The way the hands moved, it seemed a little… jerky?
My Doubts Grow
I took it to a friend who knows a thing or two about watches, and he pointed out a few more things. The weight felt a little light, the lume wasn’t as bright, and the overall finish just didn’t have that “Rolex” feel to it. My heart sank. Could it be a fake?
Then I did some more digging online. I found some forums where people were talking about replica watches, and some of the things they mentioned matched what I was seeing. There was even a mention of the plastic sleeve for the warranty card – apparently, that’s a common thing with fakes.
I’m not even gonna lie, I was pretty bummed. But, hey, what can you do? I decided to reach out to some experts. And that’s where it gets interesting. Someone mentioned I could try to get it appraised. So I reached out to get some professional advice. But after some discussion, it seems that even they can’t decide if it is legit or not based on what I provided.
Eventually, I found out, I got a good fake. Live and learn, right? I shared my story online, hoping to help others avoid the same mistake. It’s a jungle out there, folks. Be careful where you spend your hard-earned cash. For now I just found out the market price trend of this watch model. Anyway, be careful next time.
