Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this Rolex Submariner, the two-tone black one, for a while now. It’s a pretty penny, but I figured, why not try to find a good fake one first? See if I even like the feel of it before dropping some serious cash, you know?
So, I started digging around online. I looked at a bunch of online stores. Man, there are a ton of these replica sites out there! Prices were all over the place, from like a couple hundred bucks to over a thousand. It’s crazy.
I read up on what to look for in a good fake. Things like the weight, the way the second-hand sweeps, the feel of the bracelet, and even how the date window looks. The real ones are made of gold and steel, and they are heavy!
I finally found a store that seemed legit. They had a bunch of pictures and videos of their watches, and the reviews seemed okay, though you never really know with those things.
- Ordering Process:
- I picked out the two-tone black Submariner.
- Paid with my credit card, which always makes me a little nervous, but whatever.
- Got a confirmation email right away.
Then came the waiting. It took about two weeks, but the package finally showed up. I ripped that box open like a kid on Christmas morning.
- First Impressions:
- Honestly, it looked pretty darn good.
- It had some weight to it.
- The bracelet felt solid.
- The bezel clicked nicely.
I wore it around for a few days, showing it off to my buddies. Most of them thought it was real! One guy, who’s a bit of a watch nerd, took a closer look and spotted a couple of small things that weren’t quite right. But you’d have to really know what you’re looking for.
- Long-Term Test:
- Kept time pretty well.
- Didn’t turn my wrist green or anything.
- Got a few compliments.
The Verdict
So, after wearing this fake Rolex for a while, I’m kind of on the fence. It definitely scratches that itch for a fancy watch. But there’s always that little voice in the back of my head saying it’s not the real deal. I’m still thinking about maybe saving up for a real used one someday. But for now, this fake is doing the trick.
If you’re thinking about getting a fake watch, just do your research. Read reviews. Look at pictures. And don’t expect it to be exactly like the real thing. But hey, it’s a lot cheaper, and it might just help you decide if you really want to splurge on the genuine article.
