Today, I want to share my recent experience, which is about getting a high imitation Rolex Black Submariner, the “original order” version, as they call it. I’ve been eyeing this watch for a while, so I finally decided to give it a shot.
First, I started looking around for this watch. After some digging, I found a guy who seemed to know what he was talking about. We chatted a bit, and I decided to trust him. It was a leap of faith, really.
I placed the order and waited. It felt like forever, but eventually, the watch arrived. The moment I opened the box, I was pretty impressed. It looked really good, just like the real deal. I mean, the resemblance was uncanny.
I started to wear the watch every day. It felt substantial on my wrist. According to what I’ve read, genuine Submariners are about 40 millimeters in diameter. This one was about that size, so it seemed pretty accurate. The weight felt right too. It’s not too light, not too heavy, just like what I’d expect from a high-quality watch.
One thing I noticed is that they used 904L stainless steel, which, apparently, is what Rolex uses. I’m not an expert on materials, but it looked and felt premium. It didn’t feel cheap or flimsy at all. The watch also has some gold parts, which added to its luxurious look.
The Tricky Part
Now, here’s the tricky part. I wanted to see how well this watch holds up against the real one. I managed to borrow a friend’s genuine Rolex Submariner for a comparison. We put them side by side, and honestly, it was tough to tell them apart. The details, the finish, everything was almost identical.
- The weight: Both watches felt very similar in weight.
- The size: Both had a 40mm case diameter.
- The material: Both used 904L stainless steel.
We spent hours examining both watches. We looked at the bezel, the crown, the bracelet, and even the movement. I have to say, the imitation was incredibly well-made. It’s scary how good these replicas have become.
In the end, I’m pretty happy with my purchase. It’s a beautiful watch, and for the price, it’s an amazing deal. I know it’s not the real thing, but it’s close enough for me. Plus, I didn’t have to spend a fortune to get a watch that looks and feels like a genuine Rolex.
This whole experience has been quite an eye-opener. It’s made me realize how advanced these replicas have become. It’s both impressive and a bit concerning. If you’re not careful, it’s easy to be fooled. But for now, I’m enjoying my new watch, and it’s been a great conversation starter.
