Today I want to share my little adventure about getting a high imitation Rolex Two-tone Blue Submariner, the original order version. You know, I’ve always been into watches, not just for telling time, but as a kind of a statement piece. And a Rolex? That’s like the dream, right?
So, I started by looking all over the internet, reading forums, and looking at a bunch of pictures. It’s really hard to tell what’s real and what’s not from just pictures online. I mean, unless you’re some kind of expert, it’s nearly impossible. I saw some posts about a guy who got a two-tone blue Submariner by mail order, and that got me thinking maybe I could find something similar.
I did a lot of comparing, focusing on the details. The real Submariner is about 40 millimeters in diameter, so I made sure to check that. I also looked at the minute hand – apparently, on the real ones, it’s short and doesn’t overlap the minute markers. I found a few sellers who claimed to have these “original order” versions, which they said were as close to the real deal as you could get.
The price was another big thing. I saw that the real blue dial two-tone Submariner is going for about $1000 more than the black version. And listings for pre-owned ones? Forget about it, they were around $14,700! Way out of my budget. The imitation ones were obviously much cheaper, but I still wanted to make sure I was getting a good deal.
- Checked the size: Looked for that 40mm case diameter.
- Examined the hands: Made sure the minute hand was short and didn’t overlap the markers.
- Compared prices: Weighed the cost against the real deal and other imitations.
After a lot of back and forth, I finally decided to purchase one. The seller seemed legit, and they had a lot of good reviews. When the watch arrived, I was pretty impressed. It looked really good, had a nice weight to it, and all the details seemed to match up with what I had researched.
I wore it around, got a few compliments, and honestly, it felt great. I know it’s not a real Rolex, but for the price I paid, I was super happy with it. It looked the part, and I didn’t have to spend a fortune.
The Final Verdict
In the end, getting this high imitation Rolex was a fun experience. I learned a lot about what to look for in watches and got to feel a little bit of that luxury without breaking the bank. I’d say if you’re careful and do your homework, you can find some really good imitations out there. Just remember to manage your expectations and enjoy the process!
