Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this whole high imitation Rolex Black Submariner thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride. I ain’t no watch expert, but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. So, I started digging around, you know, just poking my nose where it probably didn’t belong.
First thing I did was just look around online. I typed in “High Imitation Rolex Black Submariner” and, man, a whole bunch of stuff popped up. Stores selling them, articles talking about them, the whole nine yards. It was overwhelming, to be honest. So many choices, with dates, without dates, different colors, like blue, green, you name it. It was like falling down a rabbit hole.
Finding a Good One
Then, I started looking at what people were saying about these things. Some folks were saying they’re pretty good, others were saying they’re trash. One guy said his looked “shiny and black” and “felt heavy,” which, I guess, is what you want in a watch, right? But it’s still a fake, no getting around that. They’re not gonna be worth anything later on, like a real one. There are some old ones, like the ref. 5517, that are super rare, but these new copies? Nah.
Decisions, Decisions
- I went back and forth on whether I should even get one.
- I mean, they look kinda nice, and they’re way cheaper than a real Rolex.
- But then I thought, “What’s the point?”
- It’s not the real deal, and anyone who knows anything about watches will spot it a mile away.
But I was still curious, so I decided to just go for it. I found a seller online that seemed okay, I guess. I’m not giving up their name, of course. They had a bunch of different ones, but I went for the classic Black Submariner, no date. I figured, keep it simple, right? I didn’t want to spend too much money, just wanted to see it for myself.
The Verdict
When it finally arrived, I was kind of excited, I’m not gonna lie. It looked pretty good, all shiny and new. It did feel heavy, like that other guy said. I wore it around for a few days, showed it to some friends. Most of them didn’t know the difference, they were all impressed. But my buddy, who’s a bit of a watch guy, he spotted it right away. Said the details weren’t quite right, the feel was a bit off. He wasn’t mean about it, but it was a wake-up call.
So, here’s my take on this whole thing: If you’re thinking about getting one of these high imitation Rolex Black Submariners, just know what you’re getting into. It’s not a real Rolex, and it never will be. It might look good from far away, but up close, it’s just not the same. If you’re on a tight budget, there are other real watches out there that are nice and won’t cost you a fortune. You could also look at used Rolexes, but even those are pricey. Anyway, it was a fun little experiment, but I think I’ll stick to my regular watch for now. It might not be fancy, but at least it’s real.
