Cheapest Rolex Submariner Watch Alternative

Do you really need a Rolex watch in your life. The amount of watches that are out there which are so much cheaper than buying a Rolex is substantial. However, if you're looking for a watch that closely resembles a Rolex Submariner in appearance, works well, and at the cheapest possible price, a serious contender has to be the Invicta Pro Diver (Seiko NH35A Automatic movement). 

 

Yes, it's certainly not as refined and nowhere near the high quality of an original Submariner, but for the low price its actually a great alternative for those who don't have much money to spend but still want something that looks similar to a Rolex. Put them together, side by side in comparison, and you'll have to look closely to see the difference. 

There's also some that look very similar to other Rolex models, such as the Sea-Dweller and Datejust. If you want one of those look for a brand called Pagani [Lot's on Amazon]. They are pretty decent. If someone is looking from a distance, it would be hard to tell if what you were wearing was either a Rolex Submariner or an Invicta Pro Diver [8928OB].

Yes, you could say, and many do, that the Invicta Pro Diver is a replica of the Submariner. And for the most part, it is! But its not an out-and-out fake or a cheap copy like much are out there. It does have its own brand name, Invicta, and they do take some pride in their workmanship. Much more than the many run of the mill no-name Rolex replica's that flood the marketplace. No, this is good quality watch for the price.

In fact some reviewers actually own both and have done some comparisons. A few even conclude that there isn't really all that much difference when it comes down to time accuracy and in some cases, even how it feels on the wrist. 

Of course, the biggest difference between the two is not only the price, which is huge, but also the fear of damage, or lack thereof that comes from wearing the Invicta over the Rolex. Superb little timepiece. The only downfall is the aftersales service, which going on what a few customers have reported isn't that great.

Rolex Sea-Dweller 12,800 ft 3,900 m Price

Rolex Sea-Dweller 12,800 ft 3,900 m Price. If you don't want to read you can find the price below. While all Rolex watches are waterproof, people who need or want a basic level of resistance usually go for one of the less depth demanding models, like the Datejust 41, or the GMT-Master II. Both of which have a water resistance depth of a respectable 100 meters.

But if its extreme depths you're after, you need look no further than the Rolex DEEPSEA Sea-Dweller [also known as the Rolex Deepsea 126660]. This super pressurised diving watch is capable of an almost unbelieveable depth of 12,800 feet, or 3,900 meters. I don't know for certain if this model holds the watch submersion depth record, but it much be somewhere in the top 10 for sure

Pictured is the D-Blue model, which displays a nice light blue dial at the top, fading into a dark blue (almost black). Representing the change from shallow (in comparison) to the deepest depths of the sea that divers can reach.

This is a serious watch, and the demand is rather high for this model. Prices do vary greatly depending on where you buy it from. If you can find one for sale, with many dealers you may also be able to haggle a little and get the price down, especially if you are paying the full amount by cash or card. Of course, you can also obtain this watch and pay for it in installments, but I would not recommend that. If you don't have the money, don't buy it.

If you want something much cheaper but still an excellent watch for deep sea diving, the Omega Seamaster Professional Planet Ocean may be a better fit. A beautiful watch with a master chronometer and a water resistance limit of 600 meters (2000 foot).

If you need something a lot cheaper than both of the timepieces talked about here, you could consider the Invicta 8926OB Pro. It's what some people call a poor man's Rolex. However, don't be put of by this label, it's an excellent watch for the price.

One example well-worth taking a look at due to it being slightly more unique looking to the rest, is the Grey Datejust 41 with Roman Numerals. Anyway, enough about the different types of Datejust 41, let's talk money. What's the damage (the price) for such a prestigious timepiece. 

Prices do vary quite dramatically. However, if you come across one that is too cheap (new or used), or must appears a little too good to be true, it's most probably a fake. Always make sure to buy from a reputable company / seller. Genuine Rolex watches are never cheap.

Practial, reliable and dependable, reviews are solid for the Datejust 41. The Datejust 41 is not just a nice watch, but also a fairly decent investment. New and used prices for Rolex watches have increased somewhat over the last year. And some people buy a Rolex for that very reason. 

So, while you won't get back the full amount of what you paid, if bought brand new, and then a few years later decided to sell, it would still fetch a good price. And don't forget the pleasure you got from wearing the watch in the process. Rolex watches are remarkable timepieces.
