With the arrival of the first days of summer, the community of watch lovers focuses on bright, attractive, and vibrant models. It seems that the more colorful a watch is, the more it is loved by the public this summer. I say this because the interest in traditional replica watches has decreased dramatically recently. Instead, interest in something more “spicy” and “playful” has grown enormously.
In this context, I must say that the Rolex Bubble Dial replica has received more interest than any other Rolex knockoff in recent days. I have to admit, this model is not compatible with my preferences. I, being more introverted in my own way, am mainly attracted to something calmer and maybe even more classic. This model, however, is the exact opposite of what I would like to see on my wrist this summer.
However…
This opinion is purely subjective and speaks from the perspective of my personal preferences. At the same time, I have to be honest and objective because this imitation has some amazing features that I think you should know about. I will definitely not wear it this summer. It doesn’t represent me. But if you are a more vibrant, adventurous, and energetic spirit, I don’t see why it wouldn’t suit you. Let’s inspect it closely.
General characteristics
This Oyster Perpetual replica watch arrived in our AAAReplica store in 3 versions. It’s about the different sizes that fit both bigger and smaller wrists. So, the watch is valid in 31mm, 36mm, and 41mm. Initially, I was very reluctant about the quality of this model. One of the factories we collaborated with a few months ago produced this model not very well. The watches had plenty of technical and aesthetic irregularities. The replica partners we collaborate with now seem to be a bit more responsible. I made this conclusion after carefully inspecting these watches. I don’t presume to say that they are perfect but decent – for sure. This means that they are not super clones, but rather AAA-level imitations.
Specific characteristics
If, by any chance, this model piques your interest and you intend to get one this summer, pay attention to the factory that produces it. As I told you before, some of the factories do not reproduce it qualitatively and you might be slightly disappointed. The watch in our catalog has a clean and fairly high-quality execution. I’ll be honest, not all the details in it are perfect. But at least, the replica watch has a rather attractive aesthetic.
The height of the replica watch includes 12mm and that means it is identical to the authentic model. As for the material, the knockoff is all of the 904l stainless steel. Or at least, this is what the manufacturers claim. I can’t say if it’s true or not, because I can’t tell the difference based on visual inspection alone. But what I can confirm is that the steel is very well processed and has a neat finish. The manufacturers were very attentive to the finishing scheme. The bezel has a polished finish and I can even see my own reflection in it. The bezel has a stunning mirror effect. On the other hand, the rest of the case has a brushed finish, which, by the way, is uniform and pleasant to the touch. I don’t notice any flaws in terms of finish, which is to be appreciated.
As for the bracelet…
This one seems to be quite heavy. And that’s a good sign. I have not checked the exact weight of either the replica watch or the genuine one to compare them. But I can say that the replica bracelet feels “full of substance” making a tactile presence when I put it on my wrist. This makes me think that it is quite high quality because the lower quality replicas usually have “airy” and light bracelets, which is not a good sign at all.
The architecture of the bracelet is also somewhat compact. That is, the links of the bracelet are fixed tightly between them and are not chaotically loose as I have encountered in lower quality imitations.
The playful dial
The dial of this watch exudes mood-lifting properties. And I really mean it. Initially, it may seem like a dial for kiddos, but if you pay attention in more detail, you will discover that it is so dynamic, full of energy and life. And I think that this is what a watch must convey in the summertime.
The specificity of the dial consists of the abundance of bubbles of different colors and sizes in it. I admit that the position and size of these bubbles do not coincide with what I saw in the authentic watch. The manufacturers positioned them slightly differently, although they respected, more or less, the authentic concept.
Even despite the differences in position, the bubbles look great in the replica watch. The beautiful part is that the colors harmonize well with the stainless steel case and bracelet. Besides the vibrant bubbles, the dial plate also reflects energy and brightness. This is due to the light blue on the dial plate which, for some reason, I associate with the summer sky.
Matter-of-factly…
The most curious thing is that the abundance of aesthetic elements on the dial in no way compromises the legibility of the replica watch. The stick hour markers stand out by their silvery tone against the colorful background. In addition, they have a central Lume stripe. Once the brightness decreases and the dark falls, the watch turns into a more “severe” accessory because the vibrant colors disappear, and only the gorgeous sticks appear instead.
I don’t mind the fact that the design of the replica watch is slightly different from the authentic one. Anyway, it is so captivating and energetic, that I forgot that I’m comparing it with the authentic model. The dial of the replica watch is attention-grabbing per se, which only makes me applaud the work of the manufacturers.
Technical details
After debugging everything about the aesthetic, I think it’s time to know more about the technical aspect. And I think you are as curious as I am. After all, what is the meaning of an aesthetically pleasing watch, if its inside is not reliable?
As for this Bubble guy, the manufacturers opted for an Asian ETA clone 2824-2 in it. When I told you that the replica watch is not exactly from the top category, I was referring to the mechanism. For a replica watch to be considered top quality, it must run on a Swiss clone movement. If the mechanism is from the Asian category, then we are dealing with an AAA-grade replica, which is not much worse.
To be honest, I would have liked this imitation to have at least a 3230 clone movement. I know for sure that this mechanism is resistant in time and does not bring much trouble in the future. I say it as I have a replica running on a 3230 clone mechanism and I am extremely satisfied with the way it works.
As for the Asian ETA clone 2824-2 version, I don’t personally know much. Some sources indicate that it could cause problems after a year of operation. Others, however, argue that it is a decent mechanism, especially since the watch is time-only and the mechanism does not have to support additional functions. We’ll see. In any case, the manufacturers suggested to me that they are going to integrate the 3230 movement version in the next release. I don’t know why they didn’t do it in this release. Regardless of the reasons, we will have to wait a bit. In the meantime, I think it’s worth giving this cute bubble guy a chance because it’s truly charismatic in its own way.
Bottom line
I don’t have much to say about the bottom line. This replica watch expresses dynamism, adventure, and a spirit full of life. If you resonate with such features, this watch will resonate with you. The quality is decent, though not the best one. If you want a more promising quality, you should wait a little longer. However, this replica does not show any sign of technical deficiency. So, you could give it a chance. What impressed me the most in it is the play of colors and shapes on the dial. Even if it is not a watch for my taste, I would appreciate it to see this Bubble Oyster replica on the wrist of someone around me.
