Attempting to verify a Jacques Piccard Sea-dweller
Hi there, my partner was given this Rolex as a gift however it came with no paperwork and I’m suspicious, I’ve been attempting to work it out myself but am at the end of my tether.
Any help people could offer on here would be much appreciated. |

This watch is a ROLEX (movement and case), but NOT made by Rolex, but by a company I believe called "MONOCHROME"
However yours Printing on back case looks bad. It should clearly show 86 (qty made) Date Window looks off, bezel looks cheap? What color is the HE valve? It should be black, most fakes are stainless Steel (silver colored) See here https://monochrome-watches.com/single-red-sea-dweller/
