So, I’ve been messing around with this High imitation Rolex Two-tone Black Submariner, the one they call “Classic Style.” Let me tell you, it’s been quite a ride.
First off, I got my hands on this thing, and the first thing I noticed was the gold color. It’s not too shiny, which is a good sign. I mean, you don’t want it to look like it came out of a cereal box, right?
Getting into the Details
- Weighing it Out: I put it on a scale, and it weighed about 130 grams. Not too heavy, not too light. Feels just right on the wrist.
- Gold Parts: It’s not solid gold, of course. Only the middle links, the crown, and the bezel have that gold touch. The rest is, well, not gold.
- Comparing it to the Real Deal: Now, I’m no expert, but I’ve seen enough real Rolexes to know that telling them apart from a good imitation is tough, especially from pictures. You really need to hold it in your hands, feel the weight, see how the light hits it.
The Nitty-Gritty
I spent some time taking it apart, just to see what’s inside. It’s like a puzzle, you know? Each piece has its place. And let me tell you, putting it back together is a whole other story. But I managed, after a few tries and a lot of patience.
One thing I learned is that the rarest ones are the ref. 5517 based on ref. 5513 cases. I didn’t even know what that meant at first, but after some digging around, it’s like finding a rare comic book in a pile of old newspapers. Pretty cool, if you’re into that sort of thing.
The Verdict
Look, this whole experience has been eye-opening. It’s not just about having a fancy watch; it’s about the craftsmanship, the history, and yeah, even the thrill of having something that looks like a million bucks but didn’t cost you an arm and a leg.
I’ve worn it out a few times, and people have noticed. Some can’t tell the difference, and honestly, I don’t blame them. It’s a good imitation, I’ll give it that. But for me, it’s more than just a watch; it’s a conversation starter, a piece of art, and a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life aren’t always what they seem.
