I sent the seller a message regarding the 3139 movement photo and he sent me the following to show it is a 3135.
Should there be a white plastic insert inside the case as shown in his original listing? |

Something MIGHTY strange here.
Original listing looks like 3139, and I can not see how that can look like 3135! And the two photos are the same movement, I would bet on that! And why would a counterfeiter put a non Rolex caliber? I dont get it

The turd is resisted
152342780609 Please report! Seller changed the movement picture now too. Would love to know how he got the case open too since I understand only rolex and a very select few have access to the deepsea case back removal tool. |

Its the same movement in my opinion!
Anyone can open a DEEPSEA that can open a standard Rolex Case Back. What you think is the difference I can not currently report, but I can not explain the movement number in 1st post!

1. A common Joe Schmo jeweler can't properly reseal the dssd hermetic seal of the case without the proper tools. I doubt this was accomplished based on the sediment / corrosion inside the first open case photo...and by the way, a genuine watch will not corrode like this one, fyi. :)
2. Pretty sure there are no stamping or numbers embossed on the case of a genuine dssd. 3. Finally, there is just something fishy with this seller...that movement picture they're showing was pulled right from Google images, keyword 3135. |

Opening the case, just requires a normal Rolex Oyster case tool.
After opening it, it should be properly re sealed and a pressure and waterproof test. I would think only Authorised repairers ever do that on any manufacturers cases. I would say after close examination that both the movements posted I.e. The original and reposted are the same movements. The numbering anomalies is a mystery to me. Currently, I could not report as it all looks correct A

Lol...Google 3135. Pretty easy. Anyhow, I feel bad for the buyer, likely a real rosey seller. I would pass.

Please post a link to a movement (3135) that is identical i.e being now used by the seller.
I checked, but did not find a "stock" photo that exactly tied to seller. For certain, I would not buy either, but unless I can prove that movement is a stock photo, I can not try to get annulled Sorry
