So, I’ve been wanting to get myself a nice watch for a while now, but the real deal Rolex ones? Way out of my league, price-wise. Then I got to thinking about those high imitation ones you see around. I mean, they look pretty darn close to the real thing, right?
That’s when I started digging around about this “No-Date Black Submariner” thing. Sounds fancy, doesn’t it? I guess it’s a model name or something. I saw some pictures online, and man, they looked good. Shiny, black, just like those fancy watches rich folks wear. It is really caught my eye.
I went to a few stores, asked around. One guy, he’s known for selling these high imitation types. He told me they can’t make them exactly like the real ones because of some rules, but they get them pretty close. I looked at a bunch, and yeah, they were almost the same. It is difficult to find the difference with the real.
- I picked one up, felt the weight. Seemed about right, you know, not too light, not too heavy. The store guy said the real ones are about 1.57 inches across. This one was close, I think.
- I checked out the little markings and numbers. They were all there, tiny and neat. Looked just like the pictures I saw of the real ones. The guy told me they have some special number at the bottom, behind the band. This one had it too, looked legit.
- There were no rough edges, no scratches, nothing looked off. The band was on tight, and the hands on the watch moved just like they should. No ticking, just smooth, like those fancy watches do.
The store guy said if you’re going to buy one of these, it’s a good idea to get it from someone you trust. Someone who knows what they’re doing. That made sense to me. Finally, I decided to get one,I thought it’s a good way to have something nice without spending a fortune.
What do you think?
I’m no watch expert, but I think I did alright. Got myself a good-looking watch, didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. Now I can wear it and feel a little fancy, without being too flashy. What do you think? Did I make a good call?
