So, I finally decided to get one of those high imitation Rolex Black Submariners. You know, the ones that look like the real deal but don’t cost you an arm and a leg. I’ve always liked the look of those watches, especially the black and gold ones they call “two-tone.” Fancy, right?
First, I started poking around, asking people where I could find one of these things. Someone told me about this spot downtown, said they had all sorts of watches. “High imitation,” they called them. Sounded good to me, so I went to check it out.
When I got there, man, it was overwhelming! They had so many watches. Not just the Rolex Submariner, but all kinds of styles and colors. Some with the date, some without. Enough to make your head spin, I tell ya! I saw the two-tone one I was interested in, but then there was this plain steel one, looked pretty sharp too. And a gold one! But that was way out of my price range. Like buying a whole farm, like someone said!
Anyway, I started chatting with the guy behind the counter. He told me these high imitation ones are pretty popular. Said people like them because they look good, but they ain’t gonna break the bank. He showed me how the hands glow in the dark, just like the real ones. Cool, huh? He also said that even though they’re copies, they’re made pretty well. He said most fashion-conscious guys are real picky about their replica watches and always go for the big names like Rolex, RM, or AP, even if they’re fake.
I was feeling a little overwhelmed, so I decided to walk around the shop. I picked up a few different ones, trying to get a feel for them. They say the real Rolexes are heavy, and these imitations felt pretty hefty too. The guy at the counter said the real ones are usually around 40 millimeters, and these seemed about the same size.
After looking around for a while, I finally settled on a Black Submariner. I asked the price. I was surprised they were asking for 9,000 to 10,000 bucks! Even for a steel one. I heard that some of the older gold ones from way back when might go for a bit more, maybe 12 grand. He assured me that for that price, they are pretty stunning, but still, it’s a high imitation! He also said that a low-quality replica watch only lasts a couple of years, but these ones are way better. I don’t know, I don’t think so. I ended up getting it. I just had to see for myself.
- It looks good on my wrist.
- The black and gold colors are sharp.
- It’s got a good weight to it.
- It is high imitation after all!
Conclusion
So, that’s my story about getting a high imitation Rolex Black Submariner. It was an experience, that’s for sure! I’m still not sure if it was the right decision, paying that much for a copy. I guess time will tell how well it holds up. But for now, I’m enjoying it. It’s a nice-looking watch, even if it’s not the real deal.
