Okay, so, I’ve been wanting one of those fancy Rolex watches for a while now. You know, the kind that makes you look like you’ve got it all figured out? I finally decided to go for it, but not the real deal, mind you. I went for a high imitation one, specifically the Black Submariner. It’s a good-looking watch, I gotta say.
First, I did some digging around, read some stuff online about these high imitation watches. Found out that these days, they’re making these fake ones look so darn close to the real thing, it’s almost scary. Used to be, they just made these Submariners in that shiny metal, but now? They got all sorts of variations.
So, I started looking for stores that sell these things. Not the regular jewelry stores, mind you, but those specialty places that deal with high imitation Rolexes. I visited a few, and let me tell you, it’s a whole different world in there. The folks working there, they know their stuff, but you gotta be careful. They can spot a newbie a mile away, and I didn’t want to get ripped off.
I asked a lot of questions, pretended like I knew more than I did. It’s all a game, you see. You gotta act like you belong there, like you’ve bought a dozen of these watches before. I looked at a bunch of different Black Submariners, compared them, asked about the details. These high-quality replicas are something else though. They really do look like the real thing!
- First: I examined the watch closely, checked the weight, the feel of it.
- Second: I inspected the details, the markings, the way the hands moved.
- Third: I even asked to see the inside, you know, the movement.
They usually say no to that last one, but I insisted, and they finally gave in. It was impressive, I gotta admit. These guys have gotten good at making these fakes.
Anyway, after a lot of back and forth, I finally settled on one. A No-Date Black Submariner. I bargained a bit on the price, acted like I was doing them a favor by taking it off their hands. It’s all part of the process, you know? You can’t just go in there and pay whatever they ask.
In the end, I walked out of there with a pretty sweet-looking watch on my wrist. Does it have any real value? Probably not. But it looks good, and that’s all that matters to me right now. Besides, who’s gonna know? Unless you’re a real watch expert, you’d never be able to tell the difference.
My advice
If you’re thinking about getting one of these high imitation Rolexes, especially the Black Submariner, just be smart about it. Do your research, find a reputable specialty store, and don’t be afraid to play the game. And remember, it’s just a watch. Don’t go spending your life savings on a fake, even if it’s a darn good one. It is really important to me that I am on a budget.
