The Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA 116660 has been one of the best-selling replica Rolex watches in the past. Although Noob first introduced 904L stainless steel with the Batman GMT and Submariner, the DEEPSEA 116660 hasn’t gained as much popularity as Noob’s other flagship models like Daytona V3 and Submariner V10. Now that Noob has released the latest V10 edition of the replica Rolex D-Blue 116660, I believe it will regain popularity. Many of you who previously purchased this watch might consider upgrading to this version made with 904L stainless steel.
This is a large watch specifically designed for robust individuals, featuring a case diameter of 43mm and a thickness of nearly 17.5mm. Many people are hesitant to choose the D-Blue 116660 as their first watch due to its substantial size. Additionally, the new 904L stainless steel used for the case and bracelet makes the watch feel heavier than its predecessors. Another significant update in the V10 DEEPSEA 116660 is the movement, which has been upgraded to the Super Clone 3235. In all previous versions, Noob utilized the 3135 movement, marking a notable advancement in this model.
In the V10 edition of the DEEPSEA Sea-Dweller D-Blue 116660, Noob has also asserted that the ceramic material used for the bezel has been improved. They claim that this ceramic differs from that used in previous Noob ceramic watches and is imported. I suspect they have a special channel to acquire the ceramic material found in genuine watches, which gives them the confidence to assert that the ceramic is of Swiss quality.
The gradient dial is a classic design, with the upper half in blue and the lower half in black. This dial color scheme perfectly aligns with the main theme that this watch aims to represent ; the challenge of the deep sea. After undergoing multiple improvements, the gradient dial color now looks more natural.
The bracelet is crafted from fully brushed 904L stainless steel and is quite long, making it unsuitable for individuals with smaller wrists. This bracelet is the ideal match for such a large watch, as other options like leather or nylon bands would likely struggle to support the heavy weight of the case. Inside the case, there is a clone 3235 movement, which Noob previously installed in the Single Red Sea-Dweller 126600. The movement features all necessary details engraved on the plates and rotor in a gold tone. Additionally, Noob factory offers an alternative movement option for this watch, which is a clone ETA 2836.
The AR factory also produces this replica watch, and I believe it is Noob;s main competitor. AR has improved this replica three times, with the latest version being V3. It is also made from 904L stainless steel, but I think it has a better finish on the case and bracelet. The movement in the ARF 116660 is a clone ETA 2824, which is also a solid choice. Additionally, at lower price points, the BP, VR, and KS factories also offer replicas of the Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA D-Blue 116660. Although these versions are not made with 904L stainless steel, they still maintain moderate quality and are excellent options for those on a tighter budget.
