Okay, so I recently dove into the whole replica watch scene. Specifically, I went for a High imitation Rolex Black Submariner. Yeah, I know, I know, some folks turn their noses up at replicas, but hear me out.
It all started when I heard someone talk about this “High imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner Original order” thing. Sounded fancy, right? Got me curious. I mean, I’ve always admired the real deal Rolex Submariner, but dropping that kind of cash? Not in the cards right now.
So, I did what anyone in the 21st century does – I hit the internet. Dug through forums, read some articles, you name it. Turns out, these replicas are a whole world of their own. There’s this one article, I think it was from August 14, 2022, that broke down how to tell a fake Submariner from a real one. Pretty detailed stuff.
I ended up finding a seller, placed my order, and waited. The anticipation was killer, not gonna lie. When it finally arrived, I ripped open that package like a kid on Christmas morning.
First impressions? Pretty darn good. It’s got some weight to it, feels solid. I started looking at the details, remembering that article. The serial number was something they mentioned. Apparently, fakes often mess that up, either they don’t have one or they use the same one for every watch. Mine had a serial, looked legit, but who knows. They also talked about the etching on the inner ring, said it’s often sloppy on fakes. Mine seemed okay, but I’m no expert.
- Bracelet Check: I took off the bracelet to see if there’s anything underneath. There is, but again, could be random.
- Inner Ring Inspection: Looked at the etching. Seemed decent, but I’m no expert.
- Overall Feel: It’s got weight, feels pretty solid. Not flimsy at all.
Honestly, for the price, I’m pretty impressed. It’s a good-looking watch, and it scratches that itch for a Submariner, at least for now. Plus, let’s be real, these high imitation are everywhere. You see them all the time, on TV, on the streets. People just like the look, the status symbol, whatever. It’s all about the appearance, you know.
Would I pass it off as a real one? Nah. But it’s a fun piece to wear, and it definitely gets some looks. Maybe someday I’ll get the real thing, but for now, this’ll do just fine.
