Updated Replica Rolex Seadweller Case

There have been many updates and improvements in replica watch manufacturing over the past year, but Rolex replica watches have been pretty neglected. Most Rolex replicas use the same components that they've used for years; they're easy to manufacture in bulk and there's been no lack of buying customers to spur a change. That all seems to have changed now.

One of my inside contacts to the replica manufacturers produced these photographs of an updated replica Rolex Seadweller case. Most replica Seadwellers use a common Submariner case with some modifications and a different case back. In reality the genuine Seadweller's case is thicker than the Submariner's, which has been an easy way to determine fake Seadwellers. This updated case is modeled after the genuine case more accurately.

Note the improved bezel pearl on the insert. Many replica Seadwellers and Submariners have horribly inaccurate bezel pearls and bezel inserts in general. This has been largely corrected. Also the bezel itself is thicker on a Seadweller than the Submariner. Many replicas just use the Submariner's bezel which in the past was also an easy way to spot these watches as fake.

The thicker case back on this replica case looks much more accurate than the case backs in the past. The engraving of the letters is deep and the angle looks correct on the sides. Dial-side I'm interested to see how deep the rehaut is when the crystal and dial are in place.

Many replica Seadwellers and Submariners have horribly inaccurate bezel pearls and bezel inserts in general.

The crown guards have long been the bane of replica watch makers. For some reason they just can't make decent crown guards on Rolex sports watches. Normally the replica guards are misshapen and cover too much of the bottom of the crown. The "ears" of the crown guards are also not pointed enough to match the genuine. It's difficult to tell for sure without the crown in place but these look to be improved over the old-style case.

Although neglected in the past there seems to be some movement in the development of replica Rolexes again. There seems to be an influx of better manufactured parts with much more accurate research and development on the part of replica manufacturers. As always, caveat emptor.
