Alright, so, I was thinking about getting a Rolex, you know, the real deal. But then I saw the price tag and, man, it’s like a small house! So, I started looking at these high imitation ones. And let me tell you, it’s a whole different world. I found this one, a two-tone blue Submariner, they called it “original order.”
First off, I spent hours online, looking at pictures, reading forums, just trying to figure out what’s real and what’s not. These imitation makers, they’re getting good. I mean, really good. This two-tone blue Submariner, it looked pretty darn close to the real thing in the photos. The blue, the gold, the way it all shines. If you didn’t know what you were looking for, you could be easily fooled.
So, I decided to take a chance. I found a seller, and we chatted a bit. He told me it’s an “original order” – which I guess means it’s made with some actual Rolex parts or something. It’s not solid gold, but hey, I wasn’t expecting that. Just some gold plating on the middle links, the crown, and the bezel.
I paid for it, and waited. Let me tell you, the wait was killing me. Every day I was checking the tracking, hoping it wouldn’t get seized by customs or something. Finally, it arrived. I ripped open the package like a kid on Christmas morning.
- First impression? It’s heavy! Feels substantial in your hand, not like some cheap toy. Weighed about 130g or so.
- The blue color is nice, but I compared it with some high-quality photos of a real Submariner. It’s close, but not exactly the same. The real one has a deeper, richer blue.
- The gold parts, they shine, but again, it’s not that solid gold gleam. It’s more like a shiny yellow.
- The bezel clicks nicely, though. And the date changes just like it should.
I wore it around for a few days, showing it off to my buddies. Most of them were impressed. They thought it was the real deal, which was kind of the point, right?
But here’s the thing: I know it’s not real. And every time I look at it, I can see the little differences. It’s like, it’s close, but not quite there.
But hey, for the price I paid? It’s a pretty good watch. I get to have that Rolex look without, you know, having to sell my car or something. And you know the model number? It’s not too difficult to find out if you look it up, it’s only some numbers long.
So, yeah, that’s my story about getting a high imitation Rolex two-tone blue Submariner. Was it worth it? I guess so. Would I do it again? Maybe. It’s a tough call. You get the look, but you also know it’s not the real thing. It’s all about what you’re looking for, I guess.
