Guys,

Any experiences with these two Rolex reps?

I see the Rolex DSSD with Asian 2813-2 21J movement, and not sure if this is a better deal than the $258 or $328 ones. The Asian Rolex sub sells for $118, but a Rolex SSD 1:1 Lite (genuine used as sample) sells for $98. Isn't the 1:1 is better than the Asian one? I am a little confused.

Thanks for your input!

You have three different watches here, not two.

1. First watch is the Noobmariner. Very good rep for the money.

2. The SSD is an ok replica, with or without the ETA movement. Don't be fooled by the dealers' selling jargon. "1:1" is absolute bs... it's not even close to the gen. For that price it's an ok purchase though.

3. Deepsea. I have no idea... I haven't followed this watch/rep at all.

1 and 2... I think these standard Chinese Rolex reps are good buys with Asian movements... in the $100 price range. But if you want really good Rolex replica (by today's standards), unfortunately you need to invest $400 - $500 to WM9 products. That's how it is these days. The Chinese simply can't make 'em right.

I recommend the Noobmariner, which (as a cheap alternative) is pretty much the only 16610 rep that makes sense anymore (unless you want the expensive WM9 v2).

Happy hunting!
