johnboy777 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Before I pull the trigger on the "Perfect" Sea Dweller at $328, just thought I'd get some opions. I've purchase 7 watches all together from these vendors over the last few months and have been very pleased. But as I recall when this watch was available, it was $258 or so, and one of the better Rollie reps. Any opinions? Thanks , John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Inaccurate and expensive. The only Sea-Dweller worth getting is a MBW vintage 1665. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perpetual Oyster Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 River has a decent version for $250 shipped. Check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 If Rivers is decent then it should NOT use a Submariner case with a thicker case back, a common trick to make out the watch is matching the gens dimensions. More importantly it should have a thicker bezel like the genuine, which is something I have NEVER seen on a Sea-Dweller replica.

Yep if there was a good modern Sea-Dweller I would own it If only the rep makers realised there is a big hole in the market waiting to be filled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboy777 Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 ... well, sadly, I am not a real uber-accurate-rep replica-type. Anything close that'll keep good time, and I'd call it a success. Money's not really a big issue, but I don't think I have the patience to go after a MBW vintage 1665. Unless someone wants to unload one in my direction Cheers, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Well don't buy the $328 version then as you would be throwing money away. Hell you can get the Breitling Steelfish for LESS than that and it's a vastly superia watch in every way. If you really must get a modern Sea-Dweller just get the cheapest ETA version you can locate.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Rehaut looks excellent but.....all SDs have HV issues. 1-1 perfect replica???? Really??? Can you use OEM parts?
