Okay, so here’s the deal, folks. I got this itch, right? An itch for a Rolex, but not just any Rolex. I’m talking about the New Green Submariner. You know the one – that beautiful green bezel, the whole nine yards. But, let’s be real, my wallet ain’t exactly singing the Rolex tune. So, I started thinking, maybe a high imitation is the way to go.
First, I had to do some digging. Where does a guy even find these things? I heard whispers of these “Specialty Stores” that are like, the black market of fancy watches. These places, they supposedly sell all kinds of high imitation Rolexes, including the Submariner, and other fancy watches. I figured, that’s gotta be my starting point.
But before I started searching online, I need to know how to spot a fake.
- I spent a good chunk of time just looking at pictures of real Rolexes online. I’m talking super close-up, detailed shots. The kind where you can practically count the threads in the stitching.
- Then, I started comparing those to pictures of the high imitation ones. It’s like a game of spot the difference, but way more intense. The weight, the way the second hand glides instead of ticks, the tiny engravings, the date window – everything is different!
- I found that these high imitation sellers, they actually help you out. They provide pictures, real close-ups, so you can compare the fake one to the real one. They point out all the little details, the stuff you wouldn’t even think to look at. Like the way the hands move, the font of the numbers, even the damn feel of the metal. It’s crazy, the level of detail they go into.
It was a deep dive, to say the least. I had to become a mini-expert on what to look for, what makes a Rolex a Rolex, even a fake one. I started to become confident with telling real and fake ones apart.
After I armed myself with this newfound knowledge, I started the hunt. I started hitting up those online “Specialty Stores.” And wow, it’s a whole different world in there. These places have high imitation models of practically every luxury watch you can imagine.
I finally found a few that had the New Green Submariner. Now, this is where the real test began. I started comparing, using all the stuff I had learned. And you know what? Some of these high imitation ones are insanely good. Like, scary good. But, because I did my homework, I could still spot the tiny, tiny differences. The bezel color might be just a shade off, the numbers might not be perfectly aligned, stuff like that. But, after a lot of searching, I finally found it. A high imitation that was almost perfect, like, 99.9% there. I carefully placed my order.
When it finally arrived, I was nervous. I ripped open that package, and there it was. Gleaming, green, and gorgeous. I put it on, and man, it felt good. Did it feel exactly like a real one? Maybe not 100%, but it’s close, real close. I finally put on my new watch and admire it.
So, there you have it. That’s my journey into the world of high imitation Rolex. Was it a wild ride? You bet. Did I end up with a watch I love? Absolutely. Just remember, if you’re gonna go down this road, do your homework. Be smart, be careful, and you just might end up with a little piece of luxury on your wrist, without breaking the bank.
