Okay, so, I’ve been wanting a Rolex Submariner for like, forever. But those things are crazy expensive, right? I stumbled upon this website claiming to sell high imitation Rolex Submariners, and, well, I took the plunge.
First, I did a bit of digging around. I found some guides online about how to spot fake Rolexes, just to have some background knowledge. These guides talked about the weight, the materials, and some specific features of the real Submariner. Apparently, the real ones are made with this fancy 904L stainless steel and are pretty hefty because of it. They also have specific details, like the design of the dial and the logo, that are hard to copy perfectly.
I browsed through a few different online stores. After some comparing, I finally decided on one that seemed okay. They had a bunch of pictures, and the watches looked pretty convincing, at least in the photos.
- Ordered the watch: I picked out a Black Submariner model. They said it was the most popular one. The ordering process was simple enough. I filled in my details and paid.
- Waited for the package: The wait was a little long, a few days, maybe a little longer. But when it finally arrived, I was pretty stoked.
- Opened the box: The watch was packaged well, I’ll give them that. It came in a nice box, that is similar to the real Rolex. It made it feel kind of special.
- Examined the watch: I took the watch out and held it in my hand. The first thing I noticed was the weight. It did feel pretty substantial, just like the real ones are supposed to. The black dial looked good, and the markings seemed to be in the right place. Even the little Rolex crown logo was there.
I wore the watch around for a few days. Honestly, it felt pretty good on my wrist. It looked like a real Submariner, or at least I think so. I even showed it to a couple of friends, and they couldn’t tell the difference. Of course, they’re not watch experts or anything, but still.
My Final Thoughts
So, after this whole experience, would I recommend buying a high imitation Rolex? It’s a tough call. On one hand, the watch I got does look and feel pretty good. It’s definitely a lot cheaper than a real Rolex. But on the other hand, it’s still a fake, right? It’s not the real deal. I guess it comes down to what you’re looking for and what you’re comfortable with. For me, it was a fun experiment, and I’m happy with the watch for now. But I’m definitely still dreaming of owning a genuine Submariner someday.
