Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36mm Turquoise Tiffany Blue Dial from VS factory
After purchasing my Day-Date in August, my interest in watches has grown significantly. I decided to explore the world of replica watches, particularly since the piece I’m reviewing today is nearly impossible to acquire from an authorized dealer (AD) without a substantial purchase history—in fact, even my own AD won’t consider me for a waiting list, which I found quite rude and unprofessional despite my numerous visits to their store.
In any case, I took the initiative to learn more about the Oyster Perpetual, especially with the introduction of its exciting new colors.
You might wonder why I ended up with three colors of the same watch. Initially, I wanted my first replica to be turquoise blue, so I contacted a seller from Reptime. After making the payment, I found out that the watch didn’t have the correct movement. I then opted for a green dial. A month later, I followed up with the same seller and paid again, but the turquoise option he sourced had poor SEL quality, leading me to switch to a candy pink dial instead.
Eventually, after a few weeks of waiting, I discovered that I could get the same replica for a lower price from a seller from sub 1688 known as DeLoveG. After 3 weeks, she successfully sourced the watch for me, and I only paid once she confirmed that it would be without any significant flaws.

General Assessment: 9/10
Since this watch is a replica made of stainless steel, it’s incredibly accurate. In my opinion, there's no need to purchase the authentic model. I’ve seen the genuine watch on display and can confirm that the dial color is spot-on. Some may refer to it as Tiffany blue, but technically, it’s turquoise, as Tiffany blue has a greenish undertone.
Applied Rolex Crown Logo: 10/10
The crown logo on the dial is raised, polished, and appears sharp. Its 3D appearance aligns with Rolex.
Hour Marker Alignment: 9/10
The hour markers are well-aligned with the minute markers and evenly placed around the dial. The markers’ beveling and polish are consistent the auth.
the rehaut engraving (inner bezel): 8/10
the “ROLEXROLEX” engraving on the rehaut is slightly off BUT it is evenly spaced, aligning perfectly with the hour markers which is fine because even auth HAS this deviation and in this case since the watch does not have a date it is okay, I think that the ROLEXROLEX font is a bit faint in depth compared to auth.
Dial Color and Finish: 8/10
The turquoise blue dial is vibrant, uniform, and flawless, which is consistent with auth. The color, iconic for the Oyster Perpetual, appears correctly executed.
Text and Font:
The “ROLEX” logo and “OYSTER PERPETUAL” text appear to be well-aligned and spaced; I would say it is thinner font compared to auth.
The “SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED” text below the hands looks accurate in spacing, though the font might slightly differ as well.
Minute Track:
The small black squares along the edge of the dial appear evenly spaced. Authentic pieces maintain exact symmetry.
Hands
The hands have a polished finish, the shape and length seem proportionate to the auth. However, the auth is white gold which reflect yellowish color which is not present in most replicas.
Crystal and Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating: 10/10
VSF uses sapphire crystal shows the signature anti-reflective coating, contributing to visibility and clarity. The coating reduces glare, allowing for clear reading in various lighting conditions.
Laser Etched Crown (LEC): 10/10
The presence of the etched crown logo on the sapphire crystal is a critical hallmark of authenticity. It is visible only under specific lighting.
Case and Bracelet Finish: 9/10
The clasp features the Rolex crown logo, which looks clean, the word “STEELINOX” is engraved on the inner clasp, matching Rolex reps but authentic watches use - don’t quote me on this but from my research -“RolexSA” and “904L” engravings.
Side crown:
It has the line under the crown which indicates it is made of steel; consist with auth.
SEL (Solid End Links): 9/10
The SEL, which is the connection point where the bracelet meets the case, appears flush and well-integrated with the case. On authentic Rolex watches, the SEL fits seamlessly with a very small tiny gap but it not as big that it would bother me or a calloutable IMO, it is still providing a solid and sturdy connection.
As some replicas may have SELs that sit slightly lower or higher than the case lugs, resulting in visible gaps. While this replica appears to meet high standards, a thorough inspection when you get your PSP is highly recommended.
Lume: 10/10 Authentic Rolex watches use Chromalight, which emits a blue glow. Testing the lume can help differentiate real vs. replica pieces, as replicas may use a lower-quality luminous material.
Movement: 10/10
Clone of the authentic 3230 with power reserve of 70 hours if am not mistaken
Overall Assessment: 9/10
The craftsmanship displayed in this watch is impressive, with strong alignment and detailing in critical areas like the SEL, rehaut, dial, and bracelet. Most of the flaws I have mentioned they are not calloutable IMHO.
Satisfaction: 100000/10
I LOVVVVVVVVE MY OP watches a lot! They make a very nice everyday watch; I have noticed that they keep the time well- although I never use it as a timepiece lol.
Seller communication 10/10:
Again DeloveG is amazing; very sweet and nice. Response time is very quickly considering my time zone. She doesn’t speak English like most sellers here but I don’t care because she asks you to confirm by pictures what you want.
