The Rolex Oyster collection consists of twenty-two watches. The watches that fall under the category of “Oyster” are proven to be waterproof to, at least, 330 feet. The first waterproof watch that Rolex invented, the Oyster, was introduced in 1926. Each waterproof Rolex has been put through intense testing to ensure their resistance to water even beyond the guaranteed depth.
There is one watch in particular that can remain waterproof several thousand feet below water: the Rolex Deepsea. This watch allows for a person to dive at least 12,800 feet without much trouble. Deepsea has a built-in helium escape valve for withstanding decompression. This watch runs for about $6,000 to $8,000.
Another watch that can go great depths without water damage is the Submariner. This watch has the ability to easily drop 1,000 feet below the surface. It comes equipped with a unidirectional rotatable bezel for decompression times. The Submariner costs $3,000 to $6,000.
The remaining twenty watches are waterproof to 330 feet, at least.
If the authentic prices are too high, Rolex Oyster replica watches are available for any and everyone. However, Deepsea Rolex Oyster replica watches are not able to explore depths of 12,800 feet. Most retailers highly recommend that the replica stay away from water completely. Submariner replicas are much the same way. While a website may not say that it has to be kept away from water, the replica watches should still remain dry.
Rolex, replica or not, are shiny and very appealing, so even without the ability to last in water, Oyster collection watches are sure to stun and cause a state of awe in viewers. The replicas normally cost anywhere between $100 and $300. Along with the inexpensive price, the replicas seem to be a really good deal.
