Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this Rolex two-tone black Submariner for a while now, and I finally took the plunge. You know, the one that’s supposed to be an “original order.” I’ve always been a watch guy, but let’s be real, dropping a fortune on a real Rolex isn’t exactly in my budget right now. So, I decided to go the high imitation route, and man, was it a journey.
First off, I started by digging around online. I mean, I hit up every forum, every shady website, you name it. I was basically trying to find the best of the best when it comes to these replicas. It’s a whole world out there, let me tell you. After days of research, I finally settled on a seller that seemed legit. They had tons of pictures, videos, and even some reviews from other folks who had bought from them. I pulled the trigger and placed my order, a little nervous, but also pretty excited.
The waiting game was a killer. Every day, I’d be checking my email, tracking the package, the whole nine yards. Finally, after what felt like forever, it arrived. I ripped open that box like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, the two-tone black Submariner. It looked good, I gotta admit. The weight felt right, too, hefty, just like the real deal, I thought that it is about 1.57 inches. I remember reading somewhere that the real Submariners are supposed to be like that.
I spent the next few hours just examining this thing. I was comparing it to pictures of real Rolexes online, trying to spot any differences. The minute hand was short, just like it should be, and it didn’t overlap the minute markers. I’d heard that’s a big giveaway on some fakes. The bezel clicked nicely, the crown screwed down smoothly, and the date changed with a satisfying snap. I even took a magnifying glass to it, looking at the tiny details, the text, the logo, everything. The original Rolex boxes and booklets were also in it.
- Weight: Felt solid and substantial, not like some cheap toy.
- Minute Hand: Short and sweet, no overlap with the markers.
- Bezel: Nice, crisp clicks when I turned it.
- Crown: Screwed down without any issues.
- Date Change: Snapped over cleanly at midnight.
Here’s what I checked:
Honestly, I was impressed. This thing was way better than I expected. I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I’ve gotten tons of compliments. People actually think it’s a real Rolex. I haven’t had the guts to tell them it’s a replica yet, but hey, it’s a conversation starter, right?
Now, I’m not saying everyone should go out and buy a fake Rolex. But for me, it was a fun little experiment. I got to experience what it’s like to wear a luxury watch without breaking the bank. And who knows, maybe one day I’ll be able to afford the real thing. Until then, I’ll be rocking my high imitation two-tone black Submariner with pride. It’s a pretty good feeling, I gotta say.
