So, I’ve been eyeballin’ this high imitation Rolex, the two-tone black Submariner, for a while now. Yeah, the classic style one. I finally pulled the trigger and got one from this online store I found. I did some lookin’ around, you know, wanted to make sure I wasn’t gettin’ ripped off.
First off, I started digging around the internet to see what people were sayin’ about these high imitation watches. Turns out, they’re pretty popular. Lots of folks buyin’ ’em. They look just like the real deal, but way cheaper. I read some articles and watched a few videos. Learned that the Submariner and Datejust are, like, the most copied Rolex models. Makes sense, they’re iconic, right?
Found a Decent Place to Buy
Then I started lookin’ for places to buy. Found a bunch of these specialty stores online, all sellin’ these things. Some looked kinda shady, but I eventually found one that seemed legit. Good reviews, lots of pictures, and the price was decent. I was a little hesitant at first, I mean, buying a fake watch online? But I figured, why not? It’s not like I’m tryin’ to fool anyone, I just like the look of the watch.
Ordered and Waited
So, I placed my order and waited. Took about a week or so to arrive. I was pretty excited when it finally showed up. Tore open that package like a kid on Christmas morning. And you know what? It looked pretty good! Felt solid, had some weight to it. The black and gold, it just pops, you know? It has this thing called a unidirectional bezel with some fancy Cerachrom insert. The website said it’s supposed to be scratch-resistant and won’t fade.
Compared it to Pictures of the Real Deal
I spent the next few days just wearin’ it around, gettin’ a feel for it. I even compared it to pictures of the real Submariner online. Honestly, it’s hard to tell the difference unless you’re really lookin’ for it. The size is right, it’s a 41mm case, which is apparently what the new ones are. This one doesn’t have a date window, which some folks call the “purest” Submariner, kinda cleaner lookin’ without it.
Wore it Out
I’ve been wearing it out to different places, just to see how it feels and how people react. Nobody’s said anything, but I’ve caught a few people lookin’. I think they think it’s real. I don’t know, maybe I’m just paranoid. Anyways, It’s been a couple of months now and it’s still tickin’. I wear it pretty much every day. It’s comfortable, looks good, and so far, it’s holding up great. I even take it in the shower sometimes, seems to be waterproof enough for that.
My Opinion
- It looks great, just like the real thing.
- It’s way cheaper than a real Rolex.
- It feels solid and well-made.
- It keeps time accurately.
- Nobody can tell it’s a fake unless they really know what they’re looking for.
All in all, I’m pretty happy with it. It’s a good watch, especially for the price. I figure, if it lasts me a few years, I’ve got my money’s worth. If you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ one, I’d say go for it. Just do your research, find a reputable seller, and don’t expect it to be exactly like the real thing. But for the price, you can’t really beat it. I’m thinkin’ about getting another one, maybe a different style next time. I saw they had a Daytona, that one looks pretty slick too.
