Okay, so, I’ve been wanting a Rolex Submariner for a while now. You know, the real deal. But man, those things are expensive! So, I started looking into these high imitation ones. I mean, they look just like the real thing, right?
I started digging around, asking folks, and checking out some shops. The more I looked, the more I realized, these fakes, or “high imitations” as they call ’em, are everywhere. You really gotta look close to tell the difference. And even then, it’s tough!
I started with asking around. I hit up some friends who I knew were into watches. Some were like, “Dude, just save up for the real thing,” but others pointed me to some places to check out. I also spent hours browsing through forums and online shops. Man, there’s a whole world of this stuff out there.
Then I actually went to some stores. I played it cool, you know, just browsing. I checked out the weight, the feel, how the bezel clicks. I even brought a loupe to look at the details – the font, the cyclops lens, all that stuff. Some of them were pretty darn good.
I found this one shop, the guy there was pretty chill, he knew I wasn’t about to drop serious money. He showed me a few different versions, explained the differences. There are so many levels to this, it’s crazy. They got ones with different movements, different materials, the whole nine yards. Heck, some of them even have the same kind of movement you find in a real Rolex. It’s wild!
- First, I compared the weight. The high imitation felt substantial, just like the real ones I’d held before.
- Second, I checked the bezel. It rotated smoothly, with those satisfying clicks. Not too loose, not too tight.
- Third, I looked at the details under a loupe. The printing on the dial was crisp, the cyclops lens magnified just right, and the hands aligned perfectly.
After weeks of this, I finally pulled the trigger on one. It wasn’t cheap, but way less than a real one. I’ve been wearing it for a few months now, and honestly, I’m happy with it. It keeps time well, it looks great, and nobody’s called me out on it.
So, yeah, that’s my story of getting a high imitation Rolex Black Submariner. It was a whole process, let me tell you. But in the end, I got what I wanted without breaking the bank. If you’re thinking about it, just do your research, check them out in person if you can, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. You might be surprised at what you find.
Now, I’m not saying everyone should go out and get a fake watch. But for me, it was the right move. I get to enjoy the look and feel of a classic timepiece without having to sell a kidney. And that’s all that matters, right?
My advice?
If you are going to get one. Check the details, the weight, the movement, all that stuff. Don’t just buy the first one you see. And hey, if you can rock it with confidence, more power to you.
