Alright, so the other day, I was browsing around, looking for a new watch, you know? And I stumbled upon this High imitation Rolex Two-tone Blue Submariner. Now, I’ve always been a fan of the classic Submariner look, but that two-tone blue and gold? Man, it just pops!
So, I started digging in. I mean, we all know there are tons of fakes out there, right? “High imitation,” they call it. Sounds fancy, but it’s still a fake. But this one, it looked pretty darn good in the pictures. I was curious, so I decided to take the plunge and order it. It said it was from around 2007/2008, serial number starting with M8, but there were no papers or box. That made me a bit nervous, to be honest.
When it finally arrived, the first thing I did was weigh it. I’d read somewhere that a real two-tone Submariner should be around 130 grams. This one? Right on the money. Felt solid, you know? Not too heavy, not too light, just right. I also checked the gold parts – the middle links, the crown, the bezel. They seemed legit, although only a small part of the watch is actually gold, I think.
- The Look: Man, this thing looked good. The blue dial, the gold accents, it all just worked. It had that classic Submariner vibe, but with a bit of extra flair.
- The Feel: Like I said, the weight was spot on. It felt substantial on my wrist, just like a real Rolex should.
- The Details: I spent a good hour just examining every little detail. The cyclops lens over the date, the way the bezel clicked, the engravings on the clasp – everything seemed to be in order.
But here’s the thing – I’m no expert. I can look at pictures and compare, but I’m not a watchmaker. It said RLX 16613 Submariner, that’s what I know. Could it be a really good fake? Sure. But for the price I paid, and the way it looks and feels, I’m happy. I’m going to wear it, enjoy it, and if anyone asks, I’ll just say it’s a “high imitation.”
At the end of the day, it’s all about how it makes you feel, right? And this watch? It makes me feel pretty darn good.
My Bottom Line
If you’re thinking about getting one of these “high imitation” Rolexes, just do your research, be smart, and don’t expect to fool a real watch expert. But if you want a good-looking watch that feels great on your wrist, and you’re okay with it not being the real deal, then go for it. Just don’t go around pretending it’s something it’s not.
