Okay, so today I wanna talk about this whole Rolex Submariner thing, especially the black ones. I’ve been messing around with a high imitation version of it, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a ride.
First off, I got my hands on one of these imitation watches. It’s supposed to look like the real deal, you know, the Rolex Submariner with the black dial and bezel. When I first opened the box, I thought, “Hey, this looks pretty legit.” It’s got some weight to it, feels solid, and the black color is spot on.
I started wearing it around, just to see how it felt and how people reacted. Honestly, it feels okay on the wrist. It’s not too heavy, not too light, just right there in the middle. And the look? It’s kinda fancy. I wore it to a couple of get-togethers, and a few folks noticed it. They were like, “Nice watch, man!” Didn’t realize it wasn’t a real Rolex, which is kinda the point, I guess.
But then I started digging a bit deeper. I compared it to pictures of real Rolex Submariners online, you know, just to see how close they got it. The imitation does a decent job, I’ll give it that. The dial, the hands, the little crown logo – they’re all there. But if you really look closely, you can see some differences. The materials don’t feel as premium, and some of the details aren’t as sharp. Like if you look at the real deal using top-notch stainless steel, gold, and all that fancy stuff, then you look at this one, you can tell it’s not the same, not exactly the same.
I also tested out the rotating bezel. On a real Submariner, it’s supposed to click really smoothly. This one clicks too, but it feels a bit rough, not as refined. It’s the little things like that that give it away. Also, I noticed the timekeeping wasn’t perfect. It’s not way off, but it’s not as precise as I expected. I mean, it’s not a big deal for everyday wear, but a real Rolex is supposed to be super accurate.
Now, about the price. Real Rolex Submariners cost a ton of money. This imitation? Not so much. That’s the main appeal, I guess. You get the look without having to sell your car or something. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. I heard from some people online that these imitation watches can have problems. Sometimes they break easily, or the color fades, or the water resistance isn’t as good as they claim.
My Two Cents
- Looks: Pretty good, especially from a distance.
- Feel: Decent on the wrist, but the materials aren’t top-notch.
- Timekeeping: Okay, but not super accurate.
- Price: Way cheaper than a real Rolex.
- Durability: Might be a gamble, from what I hear.
So, after messing around with this high imitation Rolex Submariner, I’ve got mixed feelings. It’s a decent-looking watch for the price, and it’s fun to wear around. But it’s definitely not the same as a real Rolex. You can tell the difference in the quality and the details. It’s like, you get what you pay for. If you’re just looking for something that looks like a Submariner and you don’t care about the prestige or the perfect timekeeping, then maybe it’s worth considering. But if you’re a serious watch person, you’ll probably want to save up for the real deal.
At the end of the day, it’s just a watch. It tells the time, it looks kinda cool, but it’s not gonna change your life. Just remember, it’s not a real Rolex, no matter how much it looks like one.
