As the newest edition on the Baselworld, a 50th anniversary edition has been brought out by Rolex Replica of its renowned Sea-Dweller, include the well-known red text. In spite of the predictable shortage of the new model, not all of the retro tweaks pleased diehard Rolex fans, for who the innovative Double Red Sea-Dweller keeps a holy grail. Now London’s prominent Project X Designs has make known their own tribute to the 1967 original with those purists in mind.
That represents a momentous premium over the new Sea-Dweller, which assuming you can get hold of one. For all of its good-looking appearance, some would say Rolex Replica went a bit away modernizing the new 43mm Sea-Dweller, particularly with an extra a “Cyclops” date lens, which many think ruins the model’s streamlined look.
There is no controversial cyclops lens on the Project X version, one suggestion that it is actually made to narrowly look like the initial prototype Sea-Dwellers known variously as the “Single Red”, the “MK0”, “MK1” and “Patent Pending”, which can command a high price on the unusual occasions when they surface at auction. Project X’s piece is at the basis of the ceramic bezel Sea-Dweller, the reigning Sea-Dweller model previous to replica Rolex’s update. It is restricted to just 67 examples in honor of the original debut year. Other evidences as to its stimulation comprise the extra-large word DATE in respect to the first time a Rolex dive watch had featured this complication; the vintage patinated style of 5 minute markers; and visible lug holes on the case sides.
In the end, the words ‘OYSTER GAS ESCAPE VALVE’ & ‘PATENT PENDING’ is in the back case, font and location of the original vintage ‘Single Red’ Sea-Dweller finished with a black enamel bezel, and the sole restricted version number for each replica Rolex watch is written follows the below format: ‘1.67’ It’s not the first time Project X, whose blacked-out replica watches have been spotted on the wrists of Kanye West and Daniel Craig, which has created a “heritage” edition of a well-known Rolex model. Actually it predicted another excellent Rolex design, the new cerachrome Daytona is with a limited edition version which integrated a number of the prominent “Paul Newman” dues to boot. Keep an eye on these guys.
