The fake Ballon Bleu 33708 in stainless steel recreates one of the most recognizable watch silhouettes ever made — the rounded cushion case, the blue cabochon crown tucked beneath its curved guard, and the textured dial with Roman numerals. It is built for shoppers who want the look and wrist presence of the original in a comfortable everyday piece. This is an openly sold replica, so it should be judged on finishing, comfort and reliability rather than on a brand name.
Key Features
- Rounded cushion-shaped stainless steel case with the signature curved crown guard
- Blue synthetic spinel cabochon set into the fluted crown
- Guilloché-textured dial with Roman numerals and blued sword-shaped hands
- Scratch-resistant sapphire-coated crystal
- Solid stainless steel link bracelet with a hidden butterfly clasp
- Choice of Swiss quartz or automatic movement at checkout
- Everyday splash resistance with a screw-down caseback
- Mid-size case profile that suits most wrists without overhang
Materials and specifications
The case and bracelet are cut from 316L stainless steel, polished on the bezel and lugs and brushed along the link tops so the finish reads close to the original under normal light. The crystal is sapphire-coated for daily scratch resistance, and the dial carries a stamped guilloché pattern rather than a printed one, which gives it depth at arm's length. Case dimensions follow the mid-size 33708 profile, roughly 33mm across excluding the crown, with a slim lug-to-lug span that keeps it comfortable under a cuff. Quartz versions run a smooth Swiss movement for low maintenance; automatic versions add a sweeping seconds hand and a display caseback.

Shipping and returns
Orders are packed in a protective watch box with the bracelet wrapped separately to prevent scuffing, and tracking is provided on every shipment. If the watch arrives with a defect or does not match the listing, contact the shop within the stated return window for a replacement or refund; sizing links removed from the bracelet do not affect defect claims.
Is the case really stainless steel?
Yes. Both the case and the bracelet are machined from 316L stainless steel, not plated brass, so the weight, feel and corrosion resistance match what you would expect from a steel watch.
How close is it to the original Ballon Bleu?
Externally it copies the case shape, crown guard, cabochon, dial layout and bracelet style closely. Movement finishing inside is where replicas differ most from the genuine article.
Can the bracelet be sized at home?
The links use removable pins, so a small pin tool is enough to shorten the bracelet yourself. A jeweler can resize it in minutes if you prefer not to handle the pins.
