So, I’ve been wanting to get one of those Rolex Submariner watches, you know, the no-date kind, all black. But man, those things are expensive! We’re talking like, $9,000 to $15,000 for a used steel one! Two-tone? Forget about it, even more! So, I started thinking about maybe going for a high imitation version. I mean, it is the same look, right?
I started looking around, checking out some stores online. It looks messy. Then, I decided to hit up a few places in person. First, I went to this fancy-looking store downtown.
I walked in, and the guy behind the counter gave me a whole speech about how good their high imitation watches are. He showed me a few, and they did look pretty good, I gotta admit. But something felt off. It was all a little too polished, a little too perfect. And the price was still pretty high for a fake, you know?
- I left the fancy store and decided to check out a few more places. I ended up in some less fancy stores, but the vibe was just… off. It did not feel right.
- One guy was practically pushing the watches on me, saying it was the “best deal in town.” Yeah, right.
- Another place had a bunch of watches just piled up in a case, all scratched and dusty. No way I was buying from there.
After a whole day of searching, I was feeling pretty discouraged. I really wanted that Rolex look, but I also didn’t want to get ripped off or end up with some junk that would fall apart in a week. It is hard to find a good one.
Then, a friend of mine told me about this other place. He said they had good quality stuff, and the prices were reasonable. So, I figured, why not give it one last shot, right?
I went to the store, and it was different from the others. It wasn’t all flashy, but it felt more… real, I guess. The guy there, he wasn’t pushy. He just showed me the watches, explained the differences, and let me take my time.
And the watches? They looked great. I mean, really great. The weight was right, the details were on point, everything just felt… solid. They even had a few different versions of the no-date Submariner, so I could choose the one I liked best. Some had a bigger dial diameter of 41mm and a Swiss crown at the bottom.
I ended up getting one, and I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now. I’m no watch expert, but this thing seems legit. It keeps time perfectly, it feels good on my wrist, and honestly, I keep forgetting it is not the real deal.
So, if you’re thinking about getting a high imitation Rolex Submariner, especially the no-date black one, do your research. Don’t just go to the first place you see. And don’t be afraid to walk away if something feels off. It might take some time, but you can find a good one if you’re patient. And trust me, it is worth it to get that classic Rolex look without, you know, actually buying a Rolex.
And one last thing, if you’re gonna buy one of these, please go to a good store, not some fella selling ’em outta the back of his truck. You gotta be careful, man.
