Alright, so I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Rolex Submariner for a while now, the two-tone black one, you know? But the price tag? Forget about it. So, I decided to go the replica route, but not just any replica, an original order, high imitation one. I did some digging and found a guy who seemed legit. We chatted a bit, and I placed my order.
A few days later, the package arrived. I ripped that thing open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, shining under the light. First thing I did? Weighed it. I read somewhere that a real two-tone Submariner weighs about 130 grams. This one? Right on the money. Felt substantial, just like the real deal.
- Weight check: Passed with flying colors.
Next, I started examining the details. I remember reading about how Rolex engraves model numbers on their watches. So, I grabbed a magnifying glass and looked between the lugs at the 12 o’clock position. And there it was, the model number, crisply engraved. Matched up with what I found online for the two-tone black Submariner.
- Model number check: Another point for the replica.
I spent the next hour just scrutinizing every little detail. The bezel, the crown, the middle links – everything looked spot on. I even compared it to pictures of a genuine Submariner online, and honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference. The gold parts looked real, and I knew the main cost of the real deal was because these two-tone versions are less common.
Details Examined Closely
- Bezel: Rotates smoothly, feels solid.
- Crown: Screws down tightly, just like it should.
- Middle links: The gold plating is impeccable.
Wearing it around, it feels great on the wrist. Got some weight to it, but not too heavy. And the looks I’ve been getting? Let’s just say people are impressed. I even had a friend, who’s a bit of a watch snob, fooled. He thought it was genuine until I told him the truth.
All in all, I’m super happy with this purchase. Saved a ton of money, and I’ve got a watch that looks and feels like the real thing. I know some people are against replicas, but for me, it’s a way to enjoy the design and craftsmanship of a luxury watch without breaking the bank. It’s not about pretending it’s real, it’s about appreciating the style. And this high imitation, original order replica? It definitely delivers.
So, if you’re thinking about getting a replica, just do your research. Make sure you’re buying from a reputable source, and pay attention to the details. You might be surprised at what you find.
