Man, I’ve been wanting a classic Rolex Submariner for ages, you know, the no-date one. So, I finally decided to pull the trigger, but not on the real deal, obviously. I went for a high imitation, and let me tell you, it’s been an experience.
First off, I started digging around online, looking at pictures, reading reviews, trying to figure out what to look for. Some forums kept saying this one particular high imitation is the best you can get. I was skeptical, but I figured, why not? It’s not like I’m dropping tens of thousands on a real one.
- Finding a Seller: This was tricky. There’re tons of websites out there, all claiming to have the best quality. It felt like navigating a minefield. I ended up choosing a seller based on some decent reviews and a website that didn’t look like it was made in the ’90s.
- The Wait: After I ordered, the waiting game began. Every day felt like a week. I was constantly checking the tracking information, imagining the watch on my wrist.
- Unboxing: Finally, the day came. The package arrived, and I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, a high imitation Rolex No-Date Black Submariner.
My first impression? Not bad, not bad at all. It had some weight to it, felt solid. The bezel clicked nicely, and the bracelet felt pretty good, though not as smooth as the real deal, I’m sure.
Details, Details
I started examining it closely. The dial looked clean, the hands were aligned, and the cyclops, or rather, the lack of one, was exactly what I wanted. Then I checked the serial number – it’s located on the rehaut, just like the authentic ones, or behind the bracelet at the six o’clock mark. I heard only 1,500 real ones were made, so this detail is important, I guess.
I wore it around for a few days, and honestly, it felt pretty good on the wrist. Got a few compliments, too. Nobody suspected a thing. Now, I’m not trying to fool anyone into thinking it’s a real Rolex. It’s more about enjoying the classic style without breaking the bank.
So, if you’re thinking about getting a high imitation Rolex Submariner, I’d say do your research, find a reputable seller, and manage your expectations. It’s not going to be a genuine Rolex, but it can be a pretty decent watch for the price. It’s a way to enjoy a timeless design without going broke. That’s my two cents, anyway.
