Alright, let me tell you about this little project I got into recently. So, I’ve always been a fan of nice watches, you know, the kind that just looks classy on your wrist. But, let’s be real, those top-tier brands? They cost a fortune! That’s when I started looking into these high imitation, they are called “original order” Rolex Submariners. Black ones, specifically, ’cause that’s just a timeless look.
First things first, I had to figure out where to even start. I mean, it’s not like you can just walk into any store and ask for a “high imitation” watch. So, I did some digging online, on forums and stuff. You wouldn’t believe the amount of info out there about this stuff. Some of it was, well, let’s just say not very helpful. But, I finally got the hang of it.
Then came the tricky part – actually finding one. This “original order” thing, I still don’t know what that actually means. But everyone says it. I guess it’s supposed to mean it’s as close to the real deal as you can get. I looked at a bunch of them. Some looked pretty good in the pictures, but when I asked around, people said they were way off. The devil’s in the details, as they say. Size was a big one. The real Submariner, the old ones, are 40 millimeters. A lot of these fakes were bigger, trying to look more “modern” or something. Not what I wanted.
I went through a few different ones, asking questions, getting opinions from folks who seemed to know their stuff. It’s a whole community, this high imitation watch world. Finally, I found one that seemed promising. 40 millimeters, the weight felt right. I won’t lie; I was nervous. It wasn’t cheap, even for a fake. But, I took the plunge.
When it arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. Ripped that package open and there it was. It looked good, felt good. I compared it to pictures of real Submariners online, zooming in on all the little details. The lettering, the crown logo, the way the bezel clicked when you turned it – it was all pretty darn close.
Now, I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks. And you know what? I love it. It’s got that classic look I wanted, without breaking the bank. I’ve even had a couple of people compliment me on it, thinking it was the real deal. I just smile and say thanks.
Here’s the thing, though. If you’re thinking about doing this, you gotta be careful. There’s a lot of junk out there. Do your research, ask questions, and don’t be afraid to walk away if something doesn’t feel right. It’s your money, after all.
- Size matters: Make sure it’s the right size, 40 millimeters for that classic Submariner look.
- Weight: It should feel solid, not cheap and flimsy.
- Details: Pay attention to the little things, like the lettering, the crown logo, and the way the bezel moves.
In the end, it’s just a watch. But, it’s a good-lookin’ watch, and I’m happy with it. And that’s all that really matters, right?
