Alright, let’s talk about this thing I got into – trying to get my hands on a high imitation Rolex, specifically the Two-tone Black Submariner. Man, that’s a mouthful, isn’t it?
So, first off, I started digging around. You know, just browsing, seeing what’s out there. This is not my first rodeo, but it’s been a while, that I wanna get my hands on a nice piece. I heard folks talking about these high imitation Rolexes, especially that two-tone black one. Black and gold, you know? Looks classy, or so they say.
Then I started asking around. My neighbor’s kid, he’s got one of those fancy watches, a Submariner but the blue version. Said it’s the best. High imitation, he says, just like the real deal. Got me thinking, maybe I should check these out.
Next, I hit up some forums, you know, where the watch guys hang out. Lots of chatter about these things. People sharing which models they are into, where they got ’em, that sort of stuff. This is where I started getting into the nitty-gritty.
Here’s What I Gathered
- Don’t overspend: That’s a big one. These are imitations, after all. No need to break the bank.
- It’s all about the look: I mean, that’s why we’re here, right? Gotta match the style, the wardrobe.
- Some history: Seems like Rolex made the real ones of these two-tones for some years, then stopped. Makes the real ones worth a lot, or so they say.
- Colors: Black’s not the only one. There’s a blue one, too. Folks seem to be torn between them.
After that, I decided I needed to see these things in person. Pictures are one thing, but holding it, feeling the weight, that’s another. So, I found a couple of places, talked to some sellers. It is not easy, but you know, when you really want something, you will find a way.
Let me tell you, it’s a whole different world. You gotta be careful, lots of fakes. But I finally found one that looked pretty darn good. Weighed it, felt solid, around 130g. The gold parts are only on the middle links, the crown, and the bezel. Less than 1/5 of it is gold, I confirmed it.
The price? Well, the real ones, they go for thousands, tens of thousands even. These imitations, much less, obviously. I’ve seen real steel ones for around $9,000 to $10,000, and these two-tone ones a bit more, closer to $12k, if they are from around the 1980s to the 2000s. But the high imitation? A fraction of that. The one I got? Let’s just say it was a good deal.
So, there you have it. My little adventure in the world of high imitation Rolex Two-tone Black Submariners. It’s a classic style, I guess. And hey, it looks good on the wrist. At least, I think so.
