Alright, let’s talk about this, guys. I’ve been messing around with watches for a while now, and I got my hands on this so-called “High imitation Rolex Two-tone Blue Submariner.” Sounds fancy, right? Well, let me tell you, it’s been quite the experience.
First off, I started digging around to see what this thing was all about. I mean, “Two-tone Blue Submariner” – it’s got a nice ring to it. People call it a high imitation, whatever that means. It’s like the real deal, I saw it from one of those watch forums. Some folks are really into these things, others not so much, but I had to see for myself.
So, I ordered one. When it arrived, the first thing I did was weigh it. I read online that the real two-tone Submariner weighs around 130 grams, and only a small part of it is actually gold. Mostly it’s just the middle links, the crown, and the bezel. This one was pretty close in weight, so that’s a good start. I guess the real cost of those fancy watches comes from them being rare and all that jazz.
Next, I started comparing it to pictures of the real deal. I found some posts online, people talking about their choices and experiences. Some were saying how this two-tone blue look isn’t as versatile as the plain steel ones. Makes sense, I guess. It’s definitely a statement piece. There’s even this rare model, the ref. 5517 based on ref. 5513 cases. I tried to spot any major differences, but honestly, it’s hard to tell unless you’re a real expert.
I even wore it around for a few days. No matter how you decide to wear them, you know, just to see how it felt and looked in different situations. I mean, it’s got that blue and gold thing going on, which is pretty flashy. Some people noticed it, others didn’t. But hey, I wasn’t trying to fool anyone. I just wanted to see what the hype was about. I have the older 16803 variant (1989), but I really wanted to try this one for a while, and I just want to have a try.
I also read about this guy whose dad was looking for one of these, a real one. These things are apparently hard to come by. I guess that makes them even more desirable. I’m not looking for the real one, the high imitation is just fine for me. It’s a good choice, and I do love it.
Conclusion?
- It’s a decent watch, especially for the price.
- It looks pretty close to the real thing, as far as I can tell.
- It’s definitely a conversation starter.
Would I recommend it? Sure, why not. But don’t go around thinking you’re going to fool a watch expert. Just enjoy it for what it is – a nice-looking watch that won’t break the bank. I enjoyed a lot these days wearing it.
That’s my two cents on this whole “High imitation Rolex Two-tone Blue Submariner” thing. Hope it was helpful, or at least entertaining. Peace out!
