Spotter's Tips for Replicas of Sea Dwellers watches
The Sea-Dweller replicas have many of the same flaws that the Submariner has. Read the profile on the Submariner; most of these flaws apply to the Sea-Dweller.
The case back on the Sea-Dweller differs from that of the Submariner in several key ways. First of all, it should have a 45 degree slant giving it a deeper stance. Also, there is engraved text on and around the case back on modern models.
At the 9 o'clock, on the case side, is a brushed steel gas relief valve. Counterfeit Sea-Dwellers tend to get this incorrect by making the valve too small or by not making it brushed steel against the polished case.
As with most Submariner variants, the bezel pearl is a good way to quickly determine potential authenticity. Recent updates from counterfeiters and the ability to replace the bezel insert with a genuine one means other indicators are necessary.
But the dangerous part is newer, more accurate of the replica watches available in the watches and replica watches market; bezel pearls on replicas make the ETA examples more accurate. Check the dial printing and the quality of the band.
The different variants belonging to the watches and replica watches market, in this connection, are those watches based on ETA, Japanese, and Asian movements which are generally known, with correspondingly lower levels of quality (typically).
There are no genuine two-tone or solid gold versions of this watch. This is a tool watch, with no variations from the factory.
The major flaws for the replicas of Sea Dwellers generally identified are
Case Back: The Sea-Dweller is the only current sports model with writing on the case back. Also the case back has a 45 degree slope to the design, which is greater than a standard Submariner.
Gas Release Valve: Genuine Sea-Dwellers have a large brushed steel valve at the 9 o'clock position on the side of the case. Replicas have a variety of types of false valves, none of which have the matte appearance of the original. The replica valve is also only for show; it doesn't work.
Some other counterfeit flaws doing rounds of the watches and replica watches market observed are as follows
Dial printing is suspect on replicas. It ranges from decent to extremely poor. Use your loupe if possible to examine the printing up close. It should be sharp and defined.
The crown should be one piece, meaning the logo should not be glued to the end of the crown.
When you unscrew the crown there should be a black rubber O-ring around the stem on current models.
The date wheel font should have "closed" "6"s and "9"s. This means there should be no gap in the numeral.
Watch for mis-printing on the dial. Fuzzy printing is a good indicator of a replica.
There should be a rubber O-ring on the crown stem.
The bezel turns clock-wise only. There are 120 clicks in a full revolution of the bezel.
