Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing the Rolex Deepsea 116660 for a while now. You know, the big boy, the one that can practically go to the bottom of the ocean. But the price tag? Ouch. So, I thought, why not try a high imitation? I mean, who’s gonna know, right?
I started by scouring the internet, looking for an online store that seemed legit. It’s a jungle out there, let me tell you. Lots of shady websites with promises that are way too good to be true. But finally, I found one that looked, well, less shady than the others. Their photos were good, there’s lots of description, and they had a lot of models listed, including the Deepsea 116660.
I pulled the trigger and ordered one. The waiting was the hardest part! Every day I’m checking my email like a hawk, waiting for that shipping confirmation. Finally, it came. And then, a week or so later, a package arrived at my door.
Unboxing Time
Man, I was excited. I ripped open that box like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was. The watch was packaged nicely. I picked it up and I felt a decent weight, that felt good, it didn’t feel cheap. The stainless steel looked pretty good, and the dial, well, it looked like a Deepsea dial to me.
I started playing around with it. Setting the time, winding it, you know, the usual stuff. The movement felt okay, not as smooth as a real Rolex, but hey, what do you expect, right? I put it on my wrist. It felt comfortable enough, maybe a tad too big, but that’s the Deepsea for you.
- The details were surprisingly good.
- The markings were all there.
- Even the tiny crown on the crystal was present.
I wore it around for a few days. Got a few compliments, nobody suspected a thing. I mean, it’s not like I’m hanging out with watch experts all day. As far as I could tell, it kept time pretty well.
Now, I’m not saying this is as good as a real Rolex. Of course, it’s not. But for the price, it’s a pretty darn good imitation. If you want the look of a Deepsea without breaking the bank, this might be the way to go. Just don’t go diving with it, okay? Feb 29, 2024, I noticed that when it comes to purchasing luxury watches such as the Rolex Deepsea 116660, it’s not easy. So I decide to buy a replica instead. And Oct 21, 2024, I feel fairly ok between the return policy of the seller, and I received the watch today, and it looks great for me. I think I will keep this watch for a long time.
Anyway, that’s my experience with a high imitation Rolex Deepsea 116660. It’s not perfect, but it’s a fun little experiment, and it definitely scratches that luxury watch itch without emptying my wallet.
