So, the other day, I got this itch. An itch for a Rolex. Not just any Rolex, mind you, but the Black Submariner. You know, the classic one, the one everybody wants? Yeah, that one. But here’s the thing, my wallet’s singing a different tune than my heart. So, I started looking around for a high imitation one. Figured, why not get the look without breaking the bank, right?
I started by hitting up those online forums. You know, the ones where people who know a thing or two about watches hang out. Learned a bunch there. They say these high imitation joints are everywhere, and they’re getting better and better. Tricky stuff. Some folks say there are guides out there that teach you how to tell the real deal from a fake. I didn’t go that deep, though. Too much for my brain.
Anyway, I started browsing those online shops that sell these things. Man, there are a ton of them. And the prices? All over the place. It is tough to decide. I learned one thing, though – a decent high imitation Submariner ain’t gonna be super cheap. It’ll still cost ya a few hundred bucks. But hey, that’s way less than the real thing, so I kept at it.
I spent hours, days even, looking at pictures, reading descriptions, comparing prices. Finally, I found one that I liked. Looked pretty good in the pictures, and the price was decent. I pulled the trigger and ordered it.
Waiting for Delivery
The wait was a killer, let me tell you. Every day, I’d check the tracking number like a hawk. Finally, the day came. The package arrived. I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, my high imitation Black Submariner.
First thing I noticed? It was heavier than I expected. I guess they try to make these things feel like the real deal by making ’em heavy. Felt pretty good on the wrist. The black dial, the bezel, the bracelet – it all looked pretty darn close to the pictures I’d seen of real Submariners.
Putting It to the Test
- First, I checked the timekeeping. Wound it up, set the time, and let it run. Checked it against my phone every few hours. Not bad, not bad at all. It was keeping time pretty well.
- Then, I wore it around for a few days. Went to work, ran errands, went out with friends. Got a few compliments, too. Nobody seemed to notice it wasn’t the real deal.
After a week, I’m pretty happy with my purchase. It’s a good-looking watch, it keeps time, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. Sure, it’s not a real Rolex, but it gives me that classic Submariner look I wanted. Plus, I don’t have to worry about losing it or getting it scratched. It’s a win-win in my book.
So, if you’re in the market for a Rolex Black Submariner but your bank account says no, a high imitation might be the way to go. Just do your homework, be careful where you buy it from, and don’t expect it to be exactly like the real thing. But if you find a good one, it can be a pretty sweet deal.
