Solid 904L VS 316L stainless steel

 

All our replica watches are made from 904L grade stainless steel. This is the same steel used by Rolex & other Swiss brands.

 

Rolex 904L replica watches are exact 1:1 when compared to original Rolex Oystersteel watches. 904L grade stainless steel is a low carbon variety of stainless steel with additives of nickel, chromium, copper and molybdenum to make it highly resistant to corrosion caused by elements like sulphuric acid, sweat, moisture, salt water etc. and due to its hardness it is scratch resistant and highly polishable. 316L, on the other hand, does not have strong corrosion resistance properties in the long term. Our 904L Rolex replica watches are made of genuine industrial grade 904L stainless steel which can be used for life without any rust or corrosion, whereas other watches are made of 316L steel and these can catch rust after some days of use.

 

 

So, basically, the body (case plus bracelet) of our Rolex 904L stainless steel replica watches are exact 1:1 same when compared to any original Rolex Oyster steel watch - not only in looks - but now in the metal too! (Note: Oyster steel is a fancy word used by Rolex and it is the same as '904L Stainless Steel')

 

Stainless steel is essential for any watch - close to your skin, sweat and moisture can build up, making the watch a magnet for corrosion. In addition, waterproof watches are particularly vulnerable - the threads that hold the crown and caseback can also corrode, causing serious damage to the watch.

 

In the early years of Swiss watch manufacturing, all stainless steel watches were made by using 316L stainless steel. 316L steel was initially created to prevent rust and pitting from salt water and sweat, but recently Rolex discovered that salt and other materials were causing corrosion in the case back threads and watch case, soclearly 316L was not rust-proof in the long run. Rolex could clearly see that gold and platinum watches didn't have this corrosion problem, so stainless steel also needed fixing. In 2003 their entire production line was changed to 904L. This 904L SS has a higher nickel and chromium content. lt is resistant to corrosion and is used in the high-tech aerospace and chemical industries. We took note of this and in our quest to make the perfect Rolex super clone watch - we also use this same 904L stainless steel in our Rolex Swiss replica watches.
