Sorry mate, were you smokin' sumthin?

Quick update.

I've started taking my watch off at night and lying it as instructed to make it lose the minute or so that it's gained over the day. Unfortunately now the watch loses steam and stops completely mid morning. This is the third replacement I've had from Idol Replicas and I'm just fed up now. Pretty close to binning the watch and starting just again.

Who supplies the best Sea Dweller replica and which is the best mechanism to get, Asian 2836 or Swiss? With my new watch I will be looking for:

- A new clean pearl

- Crisp and black (not brown) Rolex logo stamped to inside of clasp

- Deep and crisp numbers on the bezel

- Centred numbers within calendar

- A mechanism that works and keeps time reasonably!

Who sells the best/Ultimate Sea Dweller copy?

Many thanks,

Mart.

Thanks for all the helpful replies guys, what a friendly forum!

Getting the watch serviced sounds good. Can anyone recommend someone in the UK?

Cheers,

Mart.

Thanks for the replies guys. Actually I wear my watch 100% of the time, and don't remove at night. Do you think this is making it run fast?

I will try removing at nigh and laying on it's side as recommended.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Newbie here. Bought my first replica, a Sea Dweller with the 2836 movement from Idol Replicas. The watch looks good and seems to be a good likeness (apart from the missing bar code on side) but I have found taht the watch is over 1 minute fast, and gains a minute every day! Is this to be expected from a replica? I undertood that this mechanism was the best of the lot, so I am disappointed with this.

Can anyone advise?

Cheers,

Mart.
