The fake rolex 16660 watch recreates one of the most collectible dive watches of the late 1970s — the "Triple Six" Sea-Dweller that brought a sapphire crystal and a 1,000-foot depth rating to the line. This version keeps the case proportions, bezel feel and helium-valve detail that collectors look for, at a fraction of what an original costs. It suits anyone who loves the look of a vintage saturation diver and wants to wear it daily without worry.

Materials and Specifications
The case and bracelet are machined from 316L stainless steel with a brushed finish on the lugs and a polished bevel along the sides, matching the contrast finishing of the period. The bezel insert is ceramic-filled for crisp, fade-resistant markings, and the dial uses applied indices with a creamy lume that reads vintage without looking artificial. Inside, the automatic movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and holds a power reserve of roughly 40 hours. Diameter is 40 mm, thickness about 14 mm, and lug width 20 mm, so most aftermarket straps fit straight on.
Each watch is checked, timed and pressure-tested before it leaves the workshop, then packed in a protective travel pouch with a sizing tool included. Orders ship within one to two business days with tracking, and delivery is typically three to seven business days depending on destination. If the fit or finish is not right, returns are accepted within 30 days in unworn condition for a refund or exchange.
Is the 16660 the same as the Sea-Dweller "Triple Six"?
Yes — reference 16660 is the model collectors nickname the "Triple Six," the generation that moved from acrylic to sapphire crystal and pushed the depth rating to 1,000 feet. This replica follows that reference rather than the earlier 1665.
Can it be worn in the water?
It is built for everyday exposure — rain, washing hands and swimming — thanks to the screw-down crown and sealed caseback. It is not intended for deep diving or high-pressure use.
How does sizing work?
The bracelet arrives sized for an average wrist with extra links in the box, and the included tool lets you adjust it at home. Half-links and micro-adjustment on the clasp help you fine-tune the fit.
