Alright, so a few weeks ago, I got into this whole “high imitation” watch thing. You know, those fancy Rolex watches everyone’s crazy about? Yeah, I’m talking about the Submariner, the green one. They call it the “New Green Submariner” and let me tell you, the whole process of getting one of these “original order” pieces was a journey in itself.
I started by searching online, reading a ton about where to find these things. I mean, there are so many shops out there, it’s crazy. I finally stumbled upon this one place that seemed legit. They had all these pictures and descriptions, talking about how these watches were the best, and they claimed these were “original order” replicas.
So, I took a deep breath and ordered one. It wasn’t cheap, but definitely way less than a real Rolex. It took some time, but it finally arrived. First thing I did? Checked out the packaging and compared it to pictures of the real deal. The box? Pretty spot on. The papers? Looked official enough. Then there was the watch. It felt solid, not like some cheap toy.
I spent hours looking at this thing. This green, man, it’s something else. Not just any green, but that special kind of green you see on the real ones. I even borrowed a friend’s real Submariner to compare the two. And honestly, it’s hard to tell the difference at first glance.
Here’s what I found while examining this high imitation Submariner:
- The Green Color: They really nailed the green on this one. It’s that deep, rich green that Rolex is famous for. It’s not some cheap-looking, bright green.
- The Details: The little things, like the numbers and the hands, they look really close to the real one. Even the way the date window is magnified, they got that right. I heard the real Rolex’s movement is called “caliber 3135”, and apparently, this high imitation uses a similar one.
- The Feel: This thing is heavy, just like a real Rolex. It doesn’t feel like plastic or some cheap metal. It feels substantial when you hold it.
- The “Bluesy” Submariner: While I got the green one, I also learned about the “Bluesy” Submariner. It’s got this blue dial and bezel, and some of them have steel and gold. It’s pretty cool, too.
And that Oyster Perpetual, I’ve read it’s a hallmark for divers, symbolizing the deep bond between Rolex and the sea explorers. It has been out since 1953.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it. My journey into the world of “high imitation” Rolex watches. I started with curiosity, then I ordered it, then I examined it like crazy. Would I recommend it? If you’re into watches but can’t afford the real deal, it’s definitely something to consider. Just remember, no matter what you love, do your research and find a place you trust.
