Okay, so, I’ve been wanting a Rolex Submariner for a while now. But let’s be real, those things are expensive! Then I started hearing about these “high imitation” versions. I was skeptical at first, but the more I looked into it, the more I thought, “Why not?”
I started by scouring the internet for information. You wouldn’t believe the amount of stuff out there about fake Rolexes! It’s crazy. I read through a ton of articles and forum posts, trying to figure out what to look for and what to avoid. I learned that the weight is a big deal. Apparently, the real Submariner is 40 millimeters, or 1.57 inches, in diameter. I also saw some stuff about the newer models being slightly larger, like 40.5 or 41 millimeters. Good to know!
After a few days of research, I narrowed it down to a few sellers that seemed reputable, at least as far as I could tell. I mean, it’s the internet, you never really know. I ended up finding a local dealer, which was a relief. I’d much rather deal with someone in person than some random website.
I went to the dealer, and I have to say, I was pretty impressed. They had a bunch of different models, but I was there for the No-Date Black Submariner. The guy showed me one, and honestly, it looked almost identical to the real thing. The weight felt right, the size seemed correct, and even the little details, like the crown logo, were spot on. It’s a little bit bigger than the older model. But it claims to be 41mm. They told me that the only difference is the Swiss crown at the bottom. Whatever that means.
- First, I was skeptical.
- Then, I did some research online.
- Next, I found a local dealer.
- Finally, I bought the watch!
I ended up buying it. Yeah, I took a chance on a high imitation Rolex. But you know what? I’m happy with it. It looks great, it feels good on my wrist, and I didn’t have to sell a kidney to get it. It’s way cheaper than the $15,600 original. I heard that the stainless-steel versions are often valued higher than MSRP in the secondary market. I do not know what “MSRP” means, but it sounds expensive. There’s also something called “Rolex Bluesy,” a rare edition of the Submariner. They said it is about �20,000. Oh, my god! It’s too expensive for me.
For me, it’s a good watch. It does what I need it to do – tell the time and look good doing it. I don’t need anyone to know it’s not a “real” Rolex. These high imitation ones are getting really popular, you know? I even see them mentioned on TV sometimes. So, that’s my story. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but it works for me. No regrets!
