Sea-Dweller Red Super Clone
The Sea-Dweller 126600 is not just another Rolex—it’s a milestone. Marking the 50th anniversary of the legendary deep-sea diver’s line, this watch embodies the spirit of technical excellence and the poetry of endurance. VS Factory’s version doesn’t merely imitate—it rebuilds the original, screw by screw, in a way that makes you pause and realize how far China’s super clone watch industry has come.
VS engineers didn’t just 3D-scan an original; they tore it down, measured every angle under a Zeiss microscope, then reconstructed it using 904L stainless steel sourced from the same metallurgical suppliers that serve Swiss OEMs. The result? A case that weighs within ±1.2 g of the genuine piece, with identical 43 mm dimensions and helium escape valve geometry that even professional divers can’t distinguish underwater.
When you hold this Sea-Dweller, you feel the tactile confidence of true machining—the ceramic bezel clicks with 120-position precision, the red “SEA-DWELLER” lettering bleeds no ink under macro lens, and the sapphire crystal’s anti-reflective coating reproduces Rolex’s unique blue hue curve (ΔE < 0.5 under CIE Lab* test).
Below is a data-driven comparison that backs up the craft behind the story:
| Specification | Genuine Rolex 126600 | VS Factory 126600 Super Clone | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Case Diameter | 43 mm | 43 mm | 0 mm |
| Case Material | 904L Oystersteel | 904L Refined Steel (CN) | 99.6 % match |
| Bezel | Ceramic Cerachrom | Zirconium-based Ceramic | Visually identical |
| Crystal | Sapphire AR-coated | Synthetic Sapphire AR-coated | ΔE < 0.5 |
| Movement | Cal. 3235 (Rolex) | Hangzhou 3235 Clone | ±2 sec/day accuracy |
| Power Reserve | 70 hours | 72 hours | +2 hours |
| Water Resistance | 1,220 m / 4,000 ft | 1,200 m tested | −20 m |
| Weight (with bracelet) | 212 g | 210.8 g | −1.2 g |
| Lume | Chromalight blue | Swiss SL-Blue C1+C3 | Same tone persistence |
| Bracelet | Oyster 904L solid link | 904L CNC solid link | Indistinguishable under UV |
| Price | ≈ US $15,000 | ≈ US $650 | 1⁄23 of retail |
Every figure above was measured by independent micro-caliper and timing tests conducted in Guangzhou’s VS laboratory. This isn’t mass-produced mimicry—it’s China’s super-clone precision industry showing its maturity.
VS Factory didn’t stop at replication; they improved wearability. The Glidelock clasp extends more smoothly, the winding rotor reduces friction by 15 % thanks to DLC-coated pivots, and each watch runs through 96-hour stress testing before shipment. Buyers from the U.S., Middle East, and Australia call it “the first clone that feels like a brand-new Rolex, not a copy.”
In a market flooded with shortcuts, VS Factory stands out because it doesn’t chase cheap—it chases truth in craft. Every millimeter, every polished edge, tells the same story: precision built by human hands guided by engineering discipline.
