After months of deliberation, I finally decided to pull the trigger on the NOOB Factory Rolex Sky-Dweller 336935. And boy, am I glad I did. This watch is simply everything I wanted—and more. From the moment I first put it on, I knew it wasn’t just about telling time; it was about making a statement.
The grey dial was my first choice, mainly because I wanted something that wasn’t too flashy yet retained a touch of luxury. The rose gold case complements the grey tone perfectly, striking a balance between elegant and sporty. The Superluminova blue markers and hands are more than just a design feature—they’re practical and give the watch an extra layer of style, especially in low-light conditions. It’s moments like these when I realize the thought put into the smallest details.
I must say, I wasn’t expecting the rubber strap to be this comfortable. It’s different from my usual choices, but it really adds a new level of versatility. The rubber makes it suitable for almost any activity—whether I’m hitting the gym, going for a walk, or attending a casual gathering. Plus, the fluted bezel adds just enough flair to keep it looking classy. The 18k rose gold plating isn’t too gaudy; it’s just right. It’s enough to feel special but not so much that I feel like I’m trying too hard. That’s something I appreciate.
One thing that often comes up with replicas is the movement, and I was a bit skeptical. The Rolex Calibre 9002 clone isn’t perfect—it doesn’t have the calendar jumping feature that’s present in the original model, and the crown’s adjustment functions don’t perfectly sync with the bezel. But honestly, these are things you notice in the manual and not in everyday use. Wearing it out, no one notices these small differences, and I rarely think about them myself.
One thing I wasn’t prepared for was just how many people would notice this watch. I wear it out quite a bit, and it never fails to attract compliments. The rose gold and grey dial combination really stands out, especially under different lighting conditions. Whether it’s direct sunlight or dim indoor lights, it has a way of catching just enough of a glow to make people ask what I’m wearing. And that OysterLock safety clasp? It feels secure and ensures that even if I’m out hiking or doing something active, I’m not constantly worrying about it coming undone.
This Sky-Dweller has made me appreciate the art of watchmaking even more. It’s not perfect, but what it lacks in exact movement function, it more than makes up for in beauty and craftsmanship. I see it as a gateway—an opportunity to enjoy the allure of a Rolex without having to break the bank. And honestly, for the level of craftsmanship I’m getting here, I’d say it’s worth every cent.
The NOOB Factory Sky-Dweller 42mm isn’t just about mimicking the original; it’s about delivering a luxury experience that you can enjoy without limitations. I’m thrilled to have it in my collection, and it’s safe to say that this watch will be with me for many years to come.
