Fiddo 0 Posted May 18, 2010 Hello! Welcome! You have many choices in the Sea Dweller. You can do a search for "sea dweller" here on the forum and finds lots of good information. I found this one------> http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...5142&hl=sea dweller&st=0 Looks pretty good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted May 19, 2010 Sea Dweller or Deepsea Sea Dweller? the Sea Dweller model, known as SSD (super Sea Dweller) is available from any dealer and is a great watch. If that's the model, I would recommend the Eta clone and stay away from the fake Rolex movement. It's a waste of money. The DSSD is another story. There's about 6 or more versions floating around. Mary supposedly has the latest and greatest model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeepDiver73 0 Posted May 19, 2010 thanks guys!! had a look round and like the layout of the forum... had a look at several dealer site's for sea dweller's and have a number saved... just need to tease out the necessary info (search button will be getting used) on what to look out for when it comes to build, service and movement that is as close to the real deal without breaking the bank. cheerz bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've been pretty good lately and at least you know what you're getting. Lot's of the Swiss Eta's are actually Asian copies so unless you're very comfortable with your dealer, the clone is a safe bet. If you do decide Swiss, I'd try either Robert at PWC or Mary at WatchInternational. They both have good in house service technicians that will check the movement before shipping Sea Dweller is a great choice. The best mod is to put a gen bezel insert and pearl and you've got an almost perfect rep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted May 19, 2010 Bob, Might be a good use of your time to read through RolexAddict's thread on this topic: I have compared more than 20 ETA movements like 2834-1, 2824-A2, 2834-2, 2836-2, never seen any difference between machining or finish on the parts. All looks CNC machined, I doubt Chinese will invest in such equipment to reproduce a basic universal movement easy to get worldwide like the basic ETA line. The Valjoux 7750 has a clone, the Asian 7750. But I am not convicted that the ETA 2836-2 has a clone. My be a Chinese movement exists with the same design, but not with ETA stamped. Conclusion: I believe, all ETA movements in our reps are genuine Swiss parts assembled in China, or genuine complete Swiss movements. The 2836-2 we get is a modified movement with a mixt of other movements components witch are compatible like those from the 2821-2, 2824-A2, 2834-2, 2840, 2842, 2846 and many others. A similar ETA design movement could exist, but with a Chinese name RA http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...ic=2010&hl= I'm inclined to side with him, meaning "Swiss ETA" movements are going to be "gen" movements. The parts might be manufactured in China and assembled in Switz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
