Launched in 2019 as the latest evolution of the luxury fake Rolex Sea-Dweller replica watches, the ref. 126603 at its debut was the modern Sea-Dweller that collectors were not exactly expecting. Following up on the ref. 126600 from 2017, the 126603 was most remarkable for its use of a gold and steel two-tone look, applying to the famously utility-driven, all-steel Swiss movements Rolex Sea-Dweller replica watches design just a subtle touch of luxury via its sparing use of precious metal.
Outside of its gold application, the watch is otherwise a contemporary Sea-Dweller, and as such it follows in the established design codes of the original ref. 126600. In this vein, it features an upsized sizing at 43mm, making it the largest non-Deepsea Sea-Dweller by diameter in Rolex’s history. While large, the case is complete with slight reshaping and contouring to better fit the wrist, while its signature weightiness – now further enhanced via its use of super-dense gold – provides the signature, action-ready sturdiness that has defined the Sea-Dweller collection since 1967. A unidirectional, black Cerachrom bezel adds to the best super clone watches’ professional-grade credentials, as does a subtle helium escape valve opposite the screw-down gold crown.
