Introduction
Rolex Submariner replicas are among the most popular fake luxury watches in the UK. But prices vary a lot depending on quality, maker, movement, and features. Understanding what to expect can help you avoid overpaying or buying something poor quality. Below, you’ll find current pricing, what influences cost, and what makes value for money.
Current Price Ranges (UK)
Here are typical price brackets you’ll find, based on listings and online stores:
| Grade / Quality | Typical Features | Price Range (UK) |
|---|---|---|
| Low-End / Basic AAA | Automatic movement (sweeping), basic stainless steel or plated finish, simple bezel, minimal accessories | £130-£200 Watch Zone London+3rewatches.is+3Watch Zone London+3 |
| Mid-Tier AAA+ | Better finishing, higher quality bracelet links, bezel with closer detail, clearer glass, maybe sapphire or harder mineral crystal, box & papers included | £200-£350 japanwatches.co.uk+1 |
| Super Clone / 1:1 Swiss Clone Level | 904L steel cases, high-quality automatic or Swiss clone movements, correct bezel materials (ceramic), closer detailing, strong branding, often better warranty & returns | £500-£800 or more japanwatches.co.uk+2superclonewatch.co.uk+2 |
Examples from Real UK Listings

-
Another UK AAA replica Submariner shows up at around £135-£140 for basic models.
-
On the higher end, listings for 1:1 super clones or Swiss-like clones can approach £600-£750+ when they include high-quality movement, ceramic bezels, and better finishing.
What Drives the Price Up
If you see a Submariner replica significantly above the low-end range, the extra cost usually comes from:
-
Movement quality: Swiss clones or high-grade automatic movements cost more.
-
Material quality: 904L steel, sapphire glass, ceramic bezel inserts, solid vs hollow links.
-
Finish and detailing: Engravings, dial printing, crystal clarity, clasp quality.
-
Accessories: Including a good box, papers, tags, sometimes even matching serials.
-
Seller reputation & service: Return policies, customer service, video verification, warranty raise the price.
What’s Too Cheap and What’s Overpriced
-
Too Cheap (< £100-£120): If it’s under around £100, beware. Movement or materials are likely very low quality. Many corners will be cut (hollow links, cheap plating, poor crystals).
-
Overpriced (> £800-£1000+): For replicas, going above around £800-£1,000 usually only makes sense for very high-grade clones (super clones, Swiss ‘1:1’, limited batches). Make sure the features justify the price.
Value for Money: What’s Realistic
If I were advising someone in the UK looking for a good-looking Submariner replica, here’s a sweet spot:
-
Expect to spend £150-£300 for a decent AAA replica with sweeping movement and good finishes.
-
Add more if you want ceramic bezel, solid end links, better glass, or full accessories like box and papers. That might push you into £300-£500.
-
Above that, make sure the watch is worth the premium by checking videos, photos, movements, and seller reliability.
Tips to Avoid Getting Ripped Off
-
Ask for high-resolution photos and videos of that specific watch.
-
Check reviews from UK buyers.
-
Compare multiple sellers. If one places the same specs much higher than others, find out why.
-
Use safe payment methods.
-
Make sure shipping is discreet and there’s some return policy.
Conclusion
You should expect to pay anywhere from about £130 for basic AAA Submariner replicas, up to £500-£800+ for high-grade or super-clone models with premium materials. The typical UK buyer paying right is in the £150-£350 range.
