The perfect replica Rolex Submariner was not the first-ever dive watch, but it was the first watch to enjoy 100m waterproofing. And it is often a collector’s first “tool” watch. A quick bit of context surrounding its release: in the ‘50s, Jacques Cousteau was living the fabulous life aquatic, producing underwater films that pushed Scuba diving into the mainstream and even influenced the design of the luxury fake Rolex Submariner, with its rotating bezel and clean dial. Since it hit the scene in 1953, recreational diving has since gone out of style, but the cheap replica Rolex Submariner has undergone several updates and innovations, sustaining its relevance and desirability.

Some snobily turn up their nose at the aaa quality replica Rolex Submariner referring to it as, for lack of a better word, basic. And to support this argument, Theo James’s douchey, tech bro character in The White Lotus was styled in the ‘Smurf’ reference of this watch (blue bezel, blue dial). But, to ward off the haters and help destroy the basic label, Al Pacino has been known to rock a Sub. So you make the call, and if you do go with the Swiss movement copy Rolex Submariner, rest assured that it’s built upon 65+ years of history.
