Hands-On With The New Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller Reference 126600 'Red Writing?

This years marks the 50th anniversary of the Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller. For that occasion, there's the new Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller reference 122600 with red writing on the dial. A larger case, a cyclops, red writing on the dial and a new movement. Let's have a look.

The New Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller Ref. 126600

Almost 3 years ago, I wrote about the new Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller reference 116600. You might remember that this was the long awaited successor of the 16600, but now with ceramic bezel and matte finished dial. Between 2009 and 2014, there was no Sea-Dweller in the collection. As of now, that reference is being discontinued (run for the stores, you investment buyers) and being followed up by this new Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600. A fake watch that some of you have been waiting for, with its red writing on the dial (an interesting nod to the vintage Sea-Dweller reference 1665 with red writing). Another interesting 'feature?is the applied cyclops. We asked Replica Rolex why they decided to put a cyclops on the sapphire crystal of the Sea-Dweller, as a Sea-Dweller never had one before. Their answer was somewhat surprising. According to Replica Rolex it was technically impossible to do a crystal with a cyclops before on a fake watch that is water resistant to great depths. With so much pressure on the crystal, the cyclops will be a very weak spot on the surface.

With the new Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller in 43mm, they solved this issue using a thicker crystal. The Replica Rolex DeepSea Sea-Dweller remains to be without a cyclops, perhaps due to the fact that they haven't found a solution yet for the pressure on a single point on the crystal at 3900 meters deep. The new Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 is therefore a bit more 'in line?with the famous Replica Rolex Submariner Date collection and a perfect alternative for those who love the Submariner but find the 40mm diameter a bit too small.

The red writing is, as written above, a nod to the vintage double red Sea-Dweller watches. The Submariner reference 1680 also had a number of replica watches with red printing. Collectors love the red printing on the dials of these Submariners and Sea-Dwellers. Replica Rolex decided to use this as inspiration for the new Sea-Dweller reference 126600.

Personally, I am not very keen on the red printing. I like it, but it is not something I would really fancy. But then again, I am also not that 'blown away?by the vintage models that used red printing on the dial. However, I realize that for others it might be a very big and important thing. When I saw this new Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 for the first time at BaselWorld, I frowned a bit upon the cyclops on the crystal. But now I know the reason behind it, I can imagine ?from a technical standpoint ?why Replica Rolex added it to the watch. For me, like the red printing, it wouldn't have been necessary though. The 43mm case size is what isn't for me, but again I understand Replica Rolex's decision to come up with a fake watch that can be positioned between the 40mm Replica Rolex Submariner and the 44mm Replica Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller. From a commercial perspective, you give people more to choose from instead of having two replica rolex sky-dweller watches (Submariner and Sea-Dweller) that come awfully close to each other. The Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller was one of my first Replica Rolex replica watches that I bought. A reference 16600 from 1996. I remember, it must have been around 2004 or 2005, that I was in the queue of the cinema and a guy in front of me (who was wearing a Submariner) noticed my fake watch and asked me about it. He'd never heard of the Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller before, or seen one. I guess the Sea-Dweller was, for many people out there, second choice. The Submariner came first. Perhaps, with the new proposition in 43mm and cyclops, it is the new Submariner for people who require a larger watch.

From a purists perspective, it is not the fake watch for me. But Replica Rolex doesn't have to live off of purists and only a single digit percentage of their customers probably care about these things. If you belong to the purists category, you have to realize we're a niche compared to the total number of Replica Rolex buyers out there. On the other hand, Replica Rolex knows and cares enough to realize that a little twist like the red writing on the dial will speak to the imagination of some collectors and purists as well.

What has remained is the typical Sea-Dweller feature, the automatic helium valve. The new Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller reference 126600 also keeps the ceramic bezel with continuous minute markers, and has a matte dial again. Inside the new Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller is also a new movement, the reference 3235 that I also briefly mentioned in yesterday's article on the new Replica Rolex Datejust 41. This movement has a Parachrom blue hairspring, a Chronergy with optimized energy efficiency and a power reserve of 70 hours. Of course, like all Replica Rolex watches, the accuracy is guaranteed to be between -2 and +2 seconds deviation per day (on average).

The price has increased a bit since the last Sea-Dweller introduction in 2014 (with a ?then ?retail price of 8500 Euro) and now retails for 10.350 Euro including taxes.
