I’ve been messing around with watches for a while now, and let me tell you, the world of replica watches is a wild ride. Today, I want to talk about my latest score: a high imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner.
So, I started by scouring those online forums and communities. You know, the ones filled with watch nerds like me. I read tons of threads, comparing different factories and models. I saw a lot of people talking about a specific factory’s 124060 No Date Sub, and it seemed like the closest to the real deal.
I pulled the trigger and contacted one of those sellers everyone was recommending. The whole process was a bit nerve-wracking, not gonna lie. You’re sending money to someone halfway across the world, hoping you don’t get scammed. I sent a picture from those factory photos, and the seller knew what I am talking about. But this seller was cool, answered all my questions, and even sent me some quality check photos before shipping.
Then came the waiting game. It felt like forever, but finally, the package arrived. I ripped that thing open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, the No-Date Sub. First impression? This thing looked good. I mean, really good. The weight felt right, the bezel clicked nicely, and the details were on point.
- The weight, man, it’s got that heft you’d expect.
- That bezel action is smooth as butter, with those satisfying clicks.
- The dial, the hands, the markers – they all look sharp.
I compared it to pictures of the genuine Sub, and honestly, I was blown away. If you don’t look for those specific differences mentioned by people online, you can hardly tell it’s not the real thing. It’s not perfect, of course. There are some tiny, tiny differences, but you’d need a magnifying glass and a real one side-by-side to spot them. I wore it around for a few days, and nobody suspected a thing. A buddy of mine, who’s a bit of a watch guy himself, even complimented me on it.
Conclusion
So, here’s the bottom line. Am I happy with it? Absolutely! I wanted a Sub, I wanted the Submariner, the Daytona and GMT series. Would I do it again? You bet. Just remember to do your research, find a reputable seller, and be prepared to wait. And remember, it’s all about enjoying the watch, not just for bragging rights. I mean, you buy it because you like it, not because you want to sell it later. If you can find the genuine one, it is like buying a good cow. You don’t buy a cow just to sell it later. You buy it for the milk! But this replica, if you do not compare it with the genuine one, you can hardly find the tiny differences. I am sure some other models like the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 600, which people talked online as resembling Rolex’s Seamaster, are also good to try. If any of you guys try that one, let me know.
That’s it for now. Stay tuned for more of my watch adventures!
