Nakatomi63 0 Posted May 3, 2018 Hello everyone, I have a very good replica of a Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller (44 mm.) But its machinery has broken down. I would like to buy a new, automatic machinery, which enters its case although its appearance is not like the original. It is important that it be a reliable machinery and as accurate as possible. My question is where can I buy that kind of machinery from a reliable seller. Thank you in advance for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaude 1,615 Posted May 3, 2018 Hi ! I guess by machinery you mean "movement". To help you we need to know which rep of the DSSD you have (which factory ?) Do you have a link of where you bought hit ? Or if you happen to know the movement name already ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nakatomi63 0 Posted May 3, 2018 Yes, i mean movement (sorry for my bad english, I have to help me with google translate...) . I don't know which factory, i bought it about 5 or 6 years ago in a chinese web that i can't find now. I paid for it about 500 USD or something more and was a replica of the original movement even in the look. It worked fine until a fall broke it. Can you help me?

Glaude 1,615 Posted May 3, 2018 Can you post some pictures of your watch, including the movement ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveA 307 Posted May 3, 2018 If you can give some more details and pics of the movement it is much easier to advise as different reps take different movements. Do you know what’s wrong with it cos it maybe a repai will do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nakatomi63 0 Posted May 3, 2018 I sent the DSSD to a watch repairman. .. I will ask for the pictures and what parts he need to repair it. Thank you very much and we keep in touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use that ball to open your watch case back. Take 3 or 4 pictures of the movement. Post the pictures in here. Then we will know more about your watch so we can help.

Most probably it is a 2836 one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nakatomi63 0 Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Here are the pictures that the watch repairman sent me. I hope they are good enough. I think I remember that he told me that the broken part is the axis of the steering wheel, if that is how it is called in english ... https://ibb.co/mgGEdnhttps://ibb.co/chv7ynhttps://ibb.co/n8ThW7https://ibb.co/n1W2W7https://ibb.co/e5jZdnhttps://ibb.co/kd4Zdn Edited May 5, 2018 by Nakatomi63 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For balance wheel think steering wheel. For axis think of the shaft that goes down through the balance wheel and locates in jewels/bearings at each end. If the pivot - pointy bit - at either end of the axis/steering wheel is broken then you will need a replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nakatomi63 0 Posted May 5, 2018 I think it's best to buy a new movement but I do not know which and where. Can you help me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slashdotcom 0 Posted May 5, 2018 hmm...my advice is to buy a new watch i think that for the money of new movement and the watchmaker you can get one of new versions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luxuracer 14 Posted May 5, 2018 Swap the movement out with a new Seagull ST2100 Clone 2836-2 ($85) ... and it will last you another 5 years. Check with your local watchsmith to see how much they charge to do it for you. Tell them it is a replica. If it is too much hassle then just buy a new watch.

Nakatomi63 0 Posted May 5, 2018 Thank you very much for the information. The watch repairman knows that it is a replica, I will ask him about the price of the placement of the movement. I just want to make sure that this movement fits perfectly with the SDDS case before order it ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nakatomi63 0 Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) In case it is better to buy a new one, model 2018 Dial-Blue (DEEPSEA letters in green), what do you think of these two websites? in one the price is 588 USD while in the other it is 529 USD. It is important for me to be the closest thing to the original. I see that the movements differ, Asian Super 3135 vs Asian 2824-2 which costs 529 USD whose diameter is 43 mm. being the 44 mm original ... Do you see the right price? Do you recommend some other website that is reliable and offers a good SDDS 2018 Blue rep? https://dtime.store/rl0427-rolex-sea-dweller-deepsea-116660-d-blue-904l-stainless-steel-blue-black-dial-arf-1-1-best-edition-on-904l-stainless-steel-bracelet-sa-3135-correct-thick-material.html http://www.timeswissshop.com/swiss_rolex_seadweller_replica_watches_page2.html Edited May 5, 2018 by Nakatomi63 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DTime is OK ... but their prices are 15-20% higher. Giving you an example, the same watches on TrustyTime are $488 and $478 http://trustytimestore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&products_id=18476 http://trustytimestore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&products_id=18253 Here is the TD List Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OP : You've got screwed big time if you paid this rep $500 5-6 years ago, do a bit of research on the forum, Rolex rep are very well document in here and on RWI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the movement .... many many people will tell you to get the A2824 movement because it is more reliable. I, personally, will get the SH3135. I have my reasons. But in your case, I think the A2824 would be best for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narikaa 129 Posted May 6, 2018 So it's with the watchsmith What's his quote to fix the balance staff? So long as he hasn't any delusions of filmstar remuneration this is by far your simplest solution It's a common malaise with a watch that has taken a 'knock', and it is simply fixed .
