Alright, so, let me tell you about this whole thing with the high imitation Rolex Two-tone Blue Submariner. This original order, it’s been quite the journey, I gotta say.
It all started when I got this itch for a nice watch. Not just any watch, mind you, but something that looks like a million bucks without costing it. That’s when I stumbled upon these high imitation Rolexes. And this Two-tone Blue Submariner, boy, it caught my eye. It’s like they call the real one “Bluesy” or something, sounds fancy, right?
First off, I started digging around, you know, like a detective. Read a bunch of stuff online, forums, what have you. Some folks were saying these imitations look so real, it’s scary. Others were all like, “Nah, the blue ain’t the same, it’s too bright, looks like a kid’s toy.” So, I’m there, scratching my head, wondering if it’s worth the gamble.
But then, I found this one guy, seemed to know his stuff. He was talking about how the real “Bluesy” 16613, the blue is special, like sunshine on the ocean, not just some regular blue. Made me think, maybe these imitation makers can’t get that right. Still, I was curious.
So, I decided to take the plunge. Ordered one of these bad boys. When it arrived, I ripped open that package like a kid on Christmas. And there it was, shining under the light. It felt heavy, you know? Like a proper, expensive watch should. Not like those cheap, plastic things. The band was all shiny, metal, just like the pictures.
I started wearing it around, to the grocery store, to pick up the kids, you name it. And let me tell you, people noticed. Got a few “Nice watch!” comments here and there. Made me feel good, not gonna lie. It looks good, no doubt about it.
But, here’s the thing. After a while, I started noticing the little things. Like, the blue, it’s nice, but it’s not that deep, ocean blue they talk about with the real ones. And sometimes, in certain light, it does look a bit too shiny, a bit too much like a toy, just like those folks online said. But you have to know about it.
- Weight: I even weighed it, just for kicks. Came out to about 130g. I heard that’s what a real two-tone Submariner weighs. Less than 1/5 of it is gold, only the middle links, the crown, and the bezel.
- Rarity: Apparently, the real rare ones are the ref. 5517, based on ref. 5513 cases. This imitation, well, it’s not rare, that’s for sure.
My Thoughts
So, here’s my two cents on this whole high imitation Rolex Two-tone Blue Submariner thing. It’s a good-looking watch, no doubt. It feels good, looks the part, most of the time. But if you’re a real watch guy, you’ll probably spot the differences. It’s like, it’s almost there, but not quite. A real one costs a fortune. This one, not so much.
Would I buy it again? Honestly, I don’t know. It’s fun to wear, and it’s a great conversation starter. But knowing it’s not the real deal, it’s always in the back of my mind. Maybe it’s just me, maybe I’m overthinking it. But that’s my experience, take it as you will. It’s a decent watch, but it ain’t no “Bluesy.”
