Alright, let’s talk about this Rolex Submariner, the no-date version. I’ve been messing around with it for a while now, and I gotta say, it’s a pretty slick piece.
So, first things first, I started looking into this whole “no-date” Submariner thing. I mean, I knew Rolex, but I didn’t really get the different models. Turns out, this one is a classic. They call it the “No-Date Black Submariner,” and it’s got this clean look that a lot of people love.
I got my hands on a high-quality replica. Now, before anyone jumps down my throat, I’m not trying to pass this off as the real deal. I just wanted to see what the hype was all about without, you know, dropping ten grand.
I started by carefully examining the watch. I mean, I really looked at it, I mean, the case, the bracelet, the bezel, everything. This thing is made of stainless steel, and it feels solid. I checked the engravings, the crown logo, and all the little details, comparing them to pictures of the real Rolex Submariner 41mm No-date Black Watch online.
- The case is a solid chunk of stainless steel. Feels heavy, just like the real deal.
- The bracelet is also stainless steel, with this nice brushed finish. It’s got that Oysterlock clasp that everyone talks about.
- The bezel is ceramic, just like the real Submariner. It clicks nicely when you turn it.
- The dial is black, of course, with those white markers and hands. The lume is pretty good, glows bright in the dark.
Next, I opened up the back. Now, I’m no watchmaker, but I’ve tinkered with a few watches in my time. The movement inside looks pretty decent, I compared it with images from the internet. It’s got that sweeping second hand that you expect from a Rolex, even though it’s not a genuine Rolex movement, of course. But from what I know, it’s a clone movement based on the real thing, just not quite as refined.
I wore the watch around for a few weeks. Just normal stuff, you know, going to work, running errands, that sort of thing. It kept time pretty well, only gained a few seconds a day. I even took it swimming a couple of times. It’s supposed to be water-resistant, and it held up fine. No leaks or anything.
My Overall Impression
I gotta say, this high imitation Rolex “No-Date” Black Submariner is pretty impressive. It looks great, feels solid, and keeps good time. Of course, it’s not the real deal, but for a fraction of the price, it’s a pretty good substitute if you’re just into the look and feel of a Rolex without the crazy price tag. Would I recommend it? Yeah, if you’re looking for a nice-looking watch and you’re not trying to fool anyone, it’s a solid choice.
